Return of the Blind Ninja

[he_put_the_devil_in_me]

Ordering clothes and equipment from the internet is all well and good, but after Matt's entanglement with the FBI several years ago, the idea of completely untraceable gear has been a tempting prospect. Today, he's browsing the shopping district, rubbing fabrics between his fingers to test its properties, in search of something that might deflect bullets or knives.

It's the Nexus, you never know.

Unfortunately, despite his enhanced senses, there is at least one important factor in purchasing clothes that he cannot overcome on his own. Footsteps mark the approach of someone else, and though Matt keeps his white cane tucked close to his feet to be out of the walkway, it's visible enough to be obvious if you know what you're looking at.

"Excuse me, what color is this?"



[ooc: usual disclaimer - Matt is blind but his other senses are enhanced to superhuman extremes. Feel free to add nonvisual sensory details in your tags that might help him get a better idea of who your character is or what they've been doing recently.]

"Ah, thank you." There's not much he can do to help her look, of course, but he's patient, listening to the soft clicking of the metal hangers on the rack's rail as she rummages through the clothes.

"Your most welcome."She murmurs warmly back. "Oh..um any particular material ya looking for?" She asks after a moment. As she nears a patch of possible candidates.

Matt is aware that he often sounds picky about his fabrics, but when you're as sensitive to tactile sensations as he is, it matters quite a bit. "Nothing synthetic, definitely. Natural fibers besides linen are usually fine, though the only kind of wool I can wear is cashmere or something else that soft."

She hums, pauses and listens raptly with a little nod more out of habit then..well. "Ah, got it." She murmurs and starts checking tags as she gets to a patch of the color. "Is it ahem just tactile or is your hearing bothered by over-stimulation as well?" She asks softly but in her professional healer tone. Shifters especially say the canine etc types could get that too.

It's always a bit awkward when he has to describe his abilities, in part because it's very difficult to explain to sighted people how the world appears to him. The English language isn't really equipped for it, in Matt's opinion. He shifts slightly from foot to foot, settling into a different casual stance. "Ah, it's everything. Except my sight. Touch, taste, smell, hearing."

She tilts her head and waits patiently. "Ah, so redoubles to..an nith degree?" She asks softly calm. Wasn't uncommon for the body to do so. Though she'd also heard of folks trying to find say other ways to compensate for losing a sense.

"So over-sensitivity to some things? " She tries to clarify. She wondered if he knew how to change the 'volume' on somethings or if he even could. She hums softly thoughtful. And brings a few over for him to feel. "Well, here's a few not sure how soft is..soft enough for ya." She murmurs partly apologetic.
