Video 5 - Sewing Shop

[the video opens on the Sewing Shop, Margaery sitting in front of the camera with her legs crossed neatly at the knee and wearing this. there are three finished items on dress forms in the background and a small stack of bolts of fabric]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to let you know that the Sewing Shop is open for business. Please stop by if you need your garments mended or if you need something new that you can't find in the shops. I know how hard it is to find things that fit properly there.

I'm also available to give sewing lessons should you wish to learn! It's a very useful skill to have, especially here where anything can happen.

[Private to Abigail, Daenerys, and Maglor]

I have something ready for you. Feel free to stop in anytime to pick it up!

Ah, but not the crowds of New York City. Matt told me that it holds millions of people. King's Landing holds only half a million and even there, it seemed as though people were stacked upon other people. And I suppose I'll need to find some kind of job.

[the sewing will come in handy with a job. perhaps she can design clothes for other people?]

No, I can't say that I have. Why do you ask?

[ooc: it's fine! you haven't seemed like you've been struggling to me and I've been enjoying this thread very much. so, please don't worry?]

「Oh, right, population increase and whatnot. There were nearly not as many people as there used to be for him as well. Japan during rush hours is really something as well, he did not live in Tokyo, but Domino was just as crowded. He misses it.」

I've also heard New York is the world’s fashion capital.

「Something surely she'd... like? She can make beautiful garments, surely her abilities wouldn't go missed and could give her a job or something. Just imagine, Margaery, fashion designer.」

Ah, well, maybe it's time to get a little more familiar with other modern stuff. If you want...

[she was always amazed at the thick of people in King's Landing. it seemed as though there couldn't possibly be enough space for all of those people. of course, people living ten at a time in a hovel didn't really occur to her]

So I'd need to get used to modern fashions. Jo mentioned something called shorts?

[she'd likely excel in that particular trade. she'd have to make sure that the spotlight on her didn't compromise Matt's secret identity, but it's something she'd be interested in pursuing]

I do want. It would be best for me to know what I'm getting myself into before I arrive.

Shorts? Yeah and... skirts and, pants, but also beautiful gowns. New York is all about glamour, or... Something like that.

「Why does he even know this stuff? Blame Hollywood.」

Exactly! Generally people in New York get on the subway or in cabs but, why waste so much money when you can drive around without worrying about traffic. Did Matt ever told you about traffic?

「This conversation has turned into the weirdest thing. Not that he minds at all!」

[she gasps happily] Beautiful gowns! I can make those. I just made one from scratch for Daenerys. I'm sure I can make gowns for other people, too.

[she doesn't know about Hollywood. not yet, anyway]

Not really. He usually used cabs. The subway was too noisy and smelly and, well. Matt's blind. He can't drive, so he never told me much about traffic.

[she doesn't mind, either. but conversations about fashion can never be wrong]

You made one for Rey too, didn't you?

「Who else would have?
But, it's a bit of a shame Hadriel lacks of all these things like DVD players and movies or even television. But such is life. In here, anyway.」

Heavy traffic is just when vehicles get so cramped and can't move forward. It is just as noisy and smelly as the subway, just, on the surface. But with a bike, I'd assume you can make your way through cars and get faster where you need to be.

「The image is a little hilarious in his head, Margaery being so lady like, riding a bike through the streets of New York? It's delightful anyway.」

Yes, I did! She looks lovely in green, don't you think?

[she would be so amazed at the range of movies on offer. she'd cry over "Titanic" and "Casablanca" and love it. humor, she'd have a harder time with as she wouldn't get many of the references]

Ugh. Sounds like the times I was carried through King's Landing in a litter. Noise and smells everywhere and it was so slow! Do they have bikes here I could practice on?

[she'd be all in favor of any method which would let her get around quickly and avoid the noise and stench as much as possible. though, her dresses might get caught in the bike chain?]

She did. She truly did...

「He smiles a little at the memory of seeing Rey in such lovely dress, only for her to challenge him at arm wrestling... Yeah she was still wearing the dress.」

Yeah, there were a few mopeds before, but we were given a few more powerful ones, for the orb delivering. I'd be happy to teach you.

I'm glad she wore it. I didn't get a chance to see her in the finished gown.

[from what she knows about Rey, she'd expect nothing less]

Thank you for your offer. I rode behind someone when we went out to collect orbs. It would be useful if I could drive one of the devices myself, rather than having to depend on another to carry me.

Maybe if you ask her, she will show it to you.

「Right... He should still get her a thing or two for that dress, maybe talk to Curufin about making her a little pendant.」

You gotta be ready to... fend by yourself in here.

「Damn, surely she knew that perfectly by now, with Matt's departure.」

I couldn't. We know each other in passing, but I'd never be so familiar to ask such a thing of her.

[she usually asks for bolts of fabric in return, but rarely gets them. she has to ask Tranquility for them herself and do the tasks he sets out for her. it's humiliating, given her feelings for the gods, but it's necessary]

I can. I can cook for myself, at least. And I know how to use a sword.

[she knows. and she tries. but mostly, she hides her true feelings behind a charming mask]

Maybe I can take a picture of her later and send it to you.

「Sadly he doesn't know that, if he did...」

Heh, you have more advantages than I do already.

「He's such an embarrassment.」

I would appreciate that.

[and it's nothing she'd ever talk about. she just grits her teeth and keeps on going]

Really? Is there something you need instruction on?

[and she's been trained to adapt to whatever situation she finds herself in and keep up appearances while doing it]

I'm not that good at cooking.

「Don't tell anyone? She is in fact the only person he's ever told that, he doesn't want to worry people after all.」

I'd be happy to teach you what I know of it. It would all be what Matt called vegetarian since I've heard rumors that the meat from the shops is tainted, but it's still good.

[she wouldn't. she knows how to keep people's secrets. she does worry about his nutrition, not being able to cook]

「He can pour water in the noodles, Margy, no worries. But he'd really, really appreciate that.」

I... Sure! I'd like that.

「There is a bit of a sheepish smile and all.」

I heard those rumours too. As it turns out, monster's meat is not that bad either. There is also the fish from the pools.

[she's more than willing to help. it took her a while to learn, but she's gotten to be pretty good]

All right! When should I come to your home?

[yes, and it's adorable]

I wouldn't know. I don't know how to butcher the monsters properly and no one's ever taught me how to fish.

It will have to wait... I'll be leaving soon to deliver another orb to one of the Hope's temples. When I'm back, I can also teach you how to fish, it's very easy, the fish are not that big and we can use a net of sorts.

「He turns around.」

I bet you can make one easily with all what you've got here.

All right. Getting the orbs to Hope is important. If he gets enough, he can bring Sorrow back. Then Sorrow and I will have a conversation. And, thank you. I would appreciate your help.

With scraps of cloth and other things?

Yep, exactly.

「Huh, that sounds ominous.」

What kind of conversation?

[it's not. not really. in her opinion, anyway]

They say that Sorrow knew the most about the Door and how it worked, so I have many questions for him.

「Okay, yep, not what he thought.」

I've heard that too.

「He likes that idea... It also gives him another reason to hurry up with orbs, to give Margaery another chance. He had told himself this so many times, as many times as he's lost sight of it but, maybe, after all, that's why he's here, to help others.」

I've also heard he hasn't been very informative about it.

[what had he thought?

she's heading back out to gather orbs with the elves in a few days. she'd already went with them once and helped bring in a few orbs and she's determined to gather as many orbs as possible in the short amount of time they have]

So have I. But I'm going to get answers, no matter how many times I have to ask.

「Opinions about the so-called gods were diverse, she didn't seem the type to hide her disgust for them either, who knows what she would have planned to get what she wants. He's just glad it's nothing too drastic. She seems, after all, the type of woman who gets what she wants.」

I hope that after all that's happened, he's willing to change his mind about sharing his what he knows.

[it's not just disgust for these gods. after her ordeal with the High Sparrow and the Faith of the Seven, she has little patience with any gods]

You'd certainly think it would. This would be, what, the second time he died? Taking all of his knowledge with him.
