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.

Comments

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, it is.

I'm glad that you learned it, though from what you've said, it must have come at a terrible cost.

[bythewaves]

[ he shrugs a little ]

It would have come with less cost, if I had been wiser, I suppose. But we were young and innocent, and by the time we learnt otherwise it was already too late. But that is one reason why I did not Fade - someone must remember, that others not repeat the same.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she pauses a long moment, then says]

You know that were I not going to Earth, I would go with you to your world. To keep you company.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles a little ]

I did get something of that impression - but Sansa would fight you for that right, I think. And I would rather both of you safe someplace else! Middle-earth is still dangerous, Sauron is but recently overthrown.

[roseofthetyrells]

Sansa has duties waiting for her back in Westeros. I have no such ties. And I'm capable of defending myself, as you well know.

[bythewaves]

That much is true. [ He smiles wryly at her ]

Well, it is a moot point anyway, I suppose, so long as the Door remains beyond our understanding.

[roseofthetyrells]

But I spoke to Sorrow. He said that it is possible for a person from one world to go to another.

[bythewaves]

Once - but multiple trips? That, I think, is a different story.

[roseofthetyrells]

...perhaps. I would like to think that it's possible.

[bythewaves]

It would be nice if it could. [ He smiles a little ] But... well. We will have to see, I suppose.

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, I suppose. I could always speak to Sorrow some more.

[bythewaves]

Do not put yourself in debt to him. [ He urges her ] But I suppose if he is willing to talk...

[roseofthetyrells]

Oh, I'll do no such thing. [she reassures him] I don't see why he'd be unwilling to talk?

[bythewaves]

One never knows, with them. [ He grimaces ]

I really don't think they understand us very well. Even the Valar were more discernable - or at least, they learnt to be!

[roseofthetyrells]

No, they don't. I think they're incapable of trying.

[bythewaves]

I'm not sure if they're incapable or just... that ignorant.

[roseofthetyrells]

I think they're ignorant. Their previous hosts had been far more. . . cooperative. We are a far more cantankerous lot.

[bythewaves]

I am not sure if that makes it better or worse. [ He says wryly ]

[roseofthetyrells]

[and she flashes him an equally wry smile] Harder on both of us. After all, they have to provoke us to make us feel the emotion they seek. Their previous hosts could do that on command.

[bythewaves]

Hah! True enough, although I am thinking even if they left us alone they would as like have had plenty of emotions to feed on. Just perhaps not the ones they needed all the time.

[roseofthetyrells]

I'm sure they would! Everyone here is so extreme in their reactions to things, we could keep the so-called gods well fed even without their provocations.

[bythewaves]

Even so! I suppose their argument is that we don't feed the right ones, or something.

[roseofthetyrells]

Perhaps Tranquility might get a bit hungry, but he almost never seems to influence us in the first place.

[bythewaves]

I suspect he needs the least feeding, perhaps?

[roseofthetyrells]

It seems that way. More's the pity as this place could use a little tranquility.
