Video 7 - Sewing Shop

[roseofthetyrells]

[the video opens on Margaery in the Sewing Shop, dressed of course to impress and show off her work. what is unusual is that she's holding a sword in her lap and that the Shop looks like it's been scrubbed from ceiling to floor and everything in between.

what may also be unusal to those who can notice such things, there have been magical wards placed around the Shop to deter violence and keep certain types of beings out.

Margaery smiles welcomingly at the camera, although those who know her well enough can tell that it's a little forced]

Hello, everyone! The Sewing Shop is open again to attend to your needs. Can you not find what you're looking for in the shops? Or are you just plain sick of wearing the same things day in, day out? Come in and request whatever you need. The only payment I require is a bolt of fabric from Tranquility.

I also give sewing lessons to those who wish to learn.

[to Washington and Kelson]

I have what you requested ready for you to pick up at any time. I hope to see you soon.

Not exactly the way I'd put it, but accurate.

[it makes Margaery paranoid. she can't help looking over her shoulder, waiting to be attacked. that's why she's taken to wearing her sword everywhere]

That sounds wonderful. I would so love to meet Hannibal. And what would I put in a better place? [she smiles] Matt. I'd put him there.

If only there was a way to break the cycle.  I never killed my dad and I should have.  And now there's a monster that I can't kill. 

  [She gives a small smile.]   

He'd love to meet you two.  That's how we can think of them.  In some other better world.   I think that's what Hannibal does for me.  Keeps me in a fancy room in his memory palace when we're separated.   Like the fancy places he wanted to show me in Europe.

And even if we did kill her, the so-called gods would bring her back for whatever reason.

[she smiles back.

she closes her eyes and pictures it, then smiles] I would love to picture them in a better, happier world. One where no one would have to worry about demons or gods, one where you could just live and be happy there. [she laughs] And being surrounded by beautiful things wouldn't hurt.

[am_i_a_monster]

Tormenting us.  That's their reason. 

[It makes sense to her.  The god events usually have them suffering in one way or another, why not everything else.] 

All the beautiful things.  Like art and nature.   Beautiful sounds too.  Music that plays whenever they want it to.  And beautiful food that fills the room with delicious smells and tastes amazing.

[roseofthetyrells]

It does seem that way, doesn't it?

[only this is a suffering that doesn't go away after a week]

All of that sounds perfect. I wonder if there is a world like that, one with nothing but joy to balance this world of torment?

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail nods.]

Maybe there is. I never thought worlds other than my own existed, not really. But if this place is real, than other places could be real too.

[roseofthetyrells]

I'd had no idea of other worlds. The one I was in was terrible enough, I would have assumed that the others were, too.

[am_i_a_monster]

We could think there's a balance - really great worlds out there somewhere to balance off all the bad ones.

[It's much more hopeful than her normal views. It feels nice to imagine it for a moment.]
