What has it got in its pockets?

It's been a while since we had a silly and indulgent character details meme! So!

Pick one (or as many as you like) of the following categories to expound upon:

1. Things my character has in his/her/its pockets
2. Things my character has in his/her/its bathroom
3. Things my character has in his/her/its kitchen

Answer with as many or as few characters as you like, with whatever rambling about why your character has these things as necessary!

Technically these are not all in pockets, but, at least, on his person, including a few belt snap-on pouch things

1. Surgical gloves. Habit from forensics work that he's never shed
2. Chewing gum, spearmint
3. Cigarettes
4. Lighter
5. (sometimes) A handgun
6. A wallet, which is empty of so many of the things it used to hold. Money is, after all, useless in Taxon, as are credit cards and driver's licenses and FBI badges. And he no longer carries condoms as a matter of course. It still holds: paperclips, a razor blade wrapped in thin cardboard, rubber bands, and a small magnet
7. A container of pepper spray
8. A 30x magnifying loupe
9. A small but powerful LED flashlight
10. Plastic 'zip' cuffs
11. Swiss-army style pocketknife
12. Chapstick
13. Dental floss
14. A pen

and anything else I can think of to add to Paul's Infinite Pockets

- cigarettes
- lighter
- pen and pencil, both (though often no paper)
- pepper spray
- resin
- crumpled-up empty snack wrappers
- a small bouncy ball
- wadded-up papers torn off from other papers
- pocket magnifier
- a disposable film camera
- packets of sugar
- the spare button that came with his coat

- pocketknife
- lighter
- flask
- Band-Aids
- crucifix
- ballpoint pen & pocket notebook

Sideeying the packrats up there.

My shirt again.

- pocket mirror
- small comb
- nail clippers

Oh my God.

You should hardly go around pointing fingers while you're wearing my shirt.

It's good to know that if we ever have a life-threatening beauty emergency, you've got everything under control.

Now Taxon can rest at ease again.

If only one of us is going to make Eternal Scout, I'm proud that it should be you, brother dearest.

I mean, what if we were all stranded in the wilderness and I discovered my fingernails were too long.

And that, of course, is why you have stumpy little fingernails that look like tiny glass shards have gotten embedded in your fingers. And something green between two of your teeth.

Whoops, I shouldn't have said.

:)

- all of Horst's needless beauty shit
- every cleaning product known to man

"Needless" beauty shit?

Do you think all this happens naturally? I won't apologize for a little attention to detail.

P.S. "Johannes's" bathroom?

You're a vampire. You have literally no use for the bathroom apart from preening in the mirror. But if you adore it so, I'd hate to stand in the way of your happy union.

I brush my teeth! And commune with that looker in the glass, it's true.

Apart from the usual:

- assortment of things brought in and left there: books, water glasses, a plate, a fork, boxers, three socks
- ducky themed nonslip mat
- burgeoning silverfish infestation

- small specimen jar
- forceps
- large silver coin
- magnifying lens
- small sewing kit
- small folding knife
- small bag of candies
- extra hair pins

- small specimen jar
- forceps
- magnifying lens
- matchbook
- small folding knife
- small bag of candies
- toothpick

Oh dear. No idea where she keeps it all.

lockpicks
A lock or two for fidgeting.
Cat treats
Smoke pellets - likely stolen Tree
A pen - likely stolen
Pieces of candy - likely stolen
Tazer
Claws
Gum - likely stolen
Paper clips - likely stolen
Spare change
Zip tie cuffs
Rings
Bracelets
Necklace
Shiny things - likely stolen

Oh, I'm pretty sure we know where she keeps it all. :3

I was thinking the catsuit probably has a billion secret pockets, only sensible.

Pockets and pouches. There must always be pouches.

Her cleavage isn't /that/ big.

Oh god Jeremy's pockets. He often wears cargo pants to accommodate all this crap

- A deck of playing cards (sometimes, multiple decks!)
- Fishing line and/or black thread
- A tube of superglue
- Coins and washers, which he uses to practice sleight-of-hand and contact juggling
- A handkerchief
- 5-10 marbles
- Pocketknife
- Rubber bands
- A hair scrunchie
- Matches
- Packets of table salt
- Occasional cigarettes
- Dice
- A smooth river rock
- A guitar pick
- Some random crap you 'dropped'
- Other stuff as it occurs to me
- OH YEAH SILLY PUTTY

If he ever falls in the water he will sink right to the bottom like Elizabeth Swann.

I think Paul's 'pockets' are technically heavier, at least if you factor in the handgun. But yeah, my characters all carry stupid amounts of things on their persons.

If Paul ever falls in the water, Wyatt will jump in like Jack Sparrow and save him by tearing his weight-laden pants off.

~my hero~

that's why hamsters gave us belts!

If Metody is in a twitchy mood:
- Her survival suit
- which includes an air purifier
- A small tube of oxygen
- a canteen of water
- Enough dry food to last a day
- a locational beacon
- a water purifier. To purify.....you know. Um. Water.
- and everything on the list below

In happier moments...
- one weeks worth of medicine
- including alcohol wipes
- and assorted ' as needed' pills, including those for pain, vomiting and angina
- a large bandana and a magazine about gardening
- a flash light
- a bone bead, so as to track thieves
- tea bags, both for her and other people
- sweetener
- a spare bag in case she finds somethimg interesting
- a plastic bag for trash
- make up
- a folding mirror/brush
- hair pins
- hair ties
- a knitting or embroidery project
- a bottle of highly potent hot sauce in a baggie
- flint and steel
- a small notepad
- a pencil
- and a four color pen

- tea bags, both for her and other people It's good to have contingencies covered in the case of emergency.

Its only polite.

Metody's personal tea will clear the sinuses and can also be used to clean; she prefers lavander, and likes it strong.

i love how these are so very canon:

- a tiny manicure kit, with tweezers and clippers and smalll scissors
- a money clip made of brass, in the shape of a dragon. I think Long keeps cash in it just out of vanity now
- alas, he no longer carries his fancy leather chequebook and fancy leather wallet
- a nicely compact and wee leather-bound notebook, and one of these pens
- and and that's surprisingly it for long

A few packets of table salt
Pocketknife
A silver chain necklace with a cheap crystal (and a dolphin as a setting, thank you kitschy 'magic')
(since Nuada arrived) Two small bells, of the sort that jingle from shop doors, with cotton wads as stoppers so they're not always jangling
Matches
(sometimes) A pack of tarot cards
A piece of chalk
A small tea candle
A set of keys. He has had physical locks installed on several doors of his house that did not originally have them.

And what's in Etrigan's pouch? :D

Jason's sense of self

- cigarettes
- lighter
- a knife or three
- brass knuckles
- a flask
- a small notebook full of poetry
- some sort of candybar snack

1. Pockets*

- note pad + small pen, kept in a small hidey-hole pocket of his coat lining. gotta love menswear, so practical.
- gun, revolver style-y, in shoulder holster
- tablet, dumped in either coat pocket or locked in a drawer at his place.

* OMG PAUL WHY YOU CARRY AROUND SO MUCH CRAP

2. Bathroom

- shampoo, shower oil (squeaky old joints and obscure canon references = eeee), deodorant, aftershave, shaving gear (old school style), generic toiletry doodads, nothing fancy anywhere to be found.

3. Kitchen

- are you effing kidding me - ALL THE THINGS
- like, zero electrical appliances, except for his trusty old coffee maker and ditto grinder

...yeah, he so basic. XD OLD SCHOOL OZZY STYLE

Tea.
Tea.
More tea.
Fire extinguisher.
Super sharps and well maintained knives.
Some sort of engine parts disassembled on a kitchen counter or the table.
A baseball bat in the corner behind the door.
