Video 8 - Sewing Shop

[roseofthetyrells]

[the video opens on Margaery sitting neatly in a chair, wearing one of her usual gowns with her sword sitting on her lap. for those with practiced eyes or those who know Margaery well, they will be able to tell that her smile is still strained and not entirely meeting her eyes, but it's still bright and beautiful just the same]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to remind you that the Sewing Shop is open and ready for business here on the North Island. I can make a wide variety of clothing or embellish that which you already have. You have only to ask.

The only price is that you have to obtain a bolt of fabric from Tranquility in exchange. All manners of fabric are welcome as are all colors.

Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

[filtered to the Killjoys cast]

One of your friends, Party Poison, has approached me about making clothing for all of you. He's already paid in advance, so all you need to do is come over so I can take your measurements and talk to you about what you would like to have.

[filtered to Eleven (and Wash)]

I have a few surprises for you. Come over whenever you like and I'll have them ready for you.

[Girl is both pleasantly surprised and a little suspicious.]

What sort of clothes?

voice;

[roseofthetyrells]

[her voice sounds friendly and warm]

That's up to you to decide.

voice;

[thelastjoy]

Hmm. [This must be the woman Poison had told her about.] What can you make? I ain't really got a need for stuff like you're wearin'-dresses and stuff.

voice;

[roseofthetyrells]

I can make a little of everything. Do you need trousers? Or--what do they call them?--shorts? Or shirts?

As always, Margaery - if you need a hand, let me know!

Re: video

[roseofthetyrells]

I could use your presence? It always brightens my day.

[ He smiles in return ]

Then I will come by shortly! Many hands make light work, after all.

[ And so in a little while, he'll knock, and let himself in ]

Margaery?

[roseofthetyrells]

Indeed they do.

[he's the only person she'd trust to do that. anyone else and she would've been irked that they didn't wait for her to check to verify who they were and let her get the door]

Hello, Maglor. I trust that you're doing well?

[Abigail gives a friendly wave.]

Hi!

Can you make a swimsuit? One that would cover my neck too?

[roseofthetyrells]

[Margaery waves back]

Hello, Abigail!

I could. You'd need to come in so I could sketch out a design for you, though. Would that be all right?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

That should be okay. I'll have to find a way to your island.

[roseofthetyrells]

Curufin has a boat. Have you met him before?

[Video]

[imhisaunt]

You look beautiful today, Miss Margaery!

[Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

Thank you, Delmar! [she sits the phone down, stands up and backs away a little so he can see the entire dress and does a twirl] It's not my usual color, but I wanted to branch out a little. And might I say that you look dashing today?

[video]

[pocketspa]

Hey, you're the uh, you're the sewing girl.

[Wow, that was. Mhmm. Great intro. He's been pointed here by Laura, and because he has no idea what to start with, he's just gonna go for it.]

So do you need, uh, the fabric when you start or when it's over? And how long does it take you to do stuff?

[Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, my name is Margaery Tyrell, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. What's your name?

[it was fine. it's always a little nerve-wracking, meeting new people]

I take payment when I've finished your garment. And it usually takes about a month, depending on the complexity of the item. What are you interested in?

[Video]

[pocketspa]

Oh, uh, Taako from TV, yeah.

[See, he has a title too. But damn, Queen, what's she doing out here running a store or whatever?]

Okay, okay, cool. Uhh, saw you made some real lacy pieces for Laura I think? Into it. I could do somethin' like it but I've got a lot goin' on so, do you charge extra for detail work? I can throw some food in there, I'm a great chef bee-tee-dubs.

[Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Taako from TV.

[there are times when she asks herself that exact same question]

Generally, people don't ask for detail work, but I'm more than capable of it. If you're asking for something like that, food would do nicely. I live in a house with four other people and none of us are the most accomplished at cooking.

[theflea]

[ Eleven wasn't used to all the fuss and attention people gave her here. Nope, she was used to bad men chasing her, separating her from her friends and hurting her. So when she found the few friends she had here and the lack of nasty people trying to use her, Eleven had slowly started to let her guard down. It was, well, it was scary, to be honest. letting people in, not knowing if they would stay or go.

Anyway, the message was direct to her, so it was rude not to go! Besides, Margaery was very nice and just as pretty as she was nice too! So El enjoyed her company (even if she did feel like a street rat in her presence.)

It wasn't long after the initial message that Margaery would find El, climbing in through the window as quietly as she could. Old habits die hard, despite all of Wash's efforts to civilize her. ]

...Hello? I'm here.

action;

[roseofthetyrells]

[Margaery knows something about how difficult it can be to let her guard down. she was used to life in King's Landing where she had to keep a mask on at all times. she had to smile at Joffrey's demented ranting, pretend to enjoy it as Tommen thrust away at her, and not tell Cersei exactly what she thought of her. it's only been since arriving at Hadriel that she's let the masks slip and let people in for real.

Margaery enjoys Eleven's company, too, and would never think of her as a street rat. she thinks of her as a sweet, brave young lady who must have been treated terribly by someone in the past to make her so skittish. she'd like very much to know who would do such a thing so she could give them a piece of her mind.

she has her back turned to the window when Eleven enters and turns around to face her with a smile]

Hello, Eleven! I'm so glad to see you. I have a present for you. [she gestures to three dress forms with white drapings over them]

action;

[theflea]

[ Eleven had no idea what she meant! A present for her? And it was over there by the white drapes hanging over what looked like mannequins? ]

I don't see anything...

[ Frowning puzzled as she looked back over at Margaery. No one had ever made her something like this. The first time she saw the old pink dress she wore almost every day, she didn't think there was anything more pretty than that!

Wash has found her some clothes here, but if truth be told, she liked the old pink dress, it reminded her of Mike and how he'd called her pretty.

Looking back at the drapes she curiously stepped over beside them, walking around them and pacing back and forth. She was a little apprehensive about what it could be still. ]

Re: action;

[hardwearing]

[ Yes, El, there's a present for you here. Wash doesn't know exactly what Marg made in the end, because it's not like he'd had suggestions -- he knows nothing about how to dress a little girl, just that she loved her pink dress and he thought it'd be nice if she had more options like that. Pretty things, because she responded so well to the compliment. Personally he just things she's a cute kid no matter what she's stuck wearing, but his life doesn't include much getting to dress up.

She deserves little things like that, normal things. When he sees Marg's message he heads straight over, pleasantly surprised that she used the plural. Multiple items? The door chimes with his arrival and he smiles at them both when he sees El is already here. It seems he didn't miss anything. ]

Hey Margaery. El. [ He comes up beside the little girl and places his hand affectionately on her head in greeting, then glances at where their attention was when he entered, three dress forms covered with cloth. Three? ] Do we get to see together?

[ It took Will far too long to get the courage up to reply to Margaery's video on the network than he thought it would. Why was he so nervous about? He was going to ask her a genuine request and as a bonus, he already had some fabric set aside.

Taking a deep, shaking breath and exhaling slowly, Will finally clicked the feed on and made his reply. ]

I eh, em, Hello lets start with that shall we. I- can I just...

[ Why didn't he think of this before. Quickly he switched the feed to private before continuing. ]

S-sorry, I eh, I hope you don't mind? I guess, I well, want to keep this a secret?

[ Why can't he just talk like a normal person? It's not even a strange request, really. ]

private video;

[roseofthetyrells]

[she smiles warmly]

Hello, Will. How are you? Are all of your foxes now accounted for?

And why would I mind? I love secrets!

[she thinks that he must simply be shy. there's nothing wrong with that]

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Will smiles back, it's quick and awkward but it's a smile. ]

Thanks, oh! Eh, no, no not all of them. About half but... I dunno, I guess the others have burrowed under for a while.

[ He feels himself start to ramble. No, Will, get back on track. ]

Well then, see, I wanted to make something- Er, I mean, I wanted to ask you to make something. For Abigail.

[ He's embarrassed asking, shy is an understatement. ]
