[ This is evidently the first time she is doing this, anyone can tell and she knows it; it is clear by the little frown, the uncertainty. there is nervousness and fear, too, but those she knows how to hide. A moment later and the confusion is tucked away and she offers a little graceful bow ]

Fellow residents, I hope this finds you well.

[ She knows grace well, the girl. The one who came before wore it a little better than her but a baseborn girl must not have the gracefulness of a highborn lady. ]

I am Alayne Stone, a newcomer to your city. Some of you I have met already, those who have been kind enough to help me upon my arrival, my thanks to you.

[ she tucks a strand of chestnut brown hair behind an ear ]

I ask for advice and counsel. I know little of the ways of the city nor what is expected of me during my stay. I know of the gods, a little.

[ and already she fears them, all of them ]

Are there any vendors in the city? I am searching for fabrics, in specific and if - if there is a need for tunics or breeches or dresses, I would be pleased to offer my services, I was oft told my stitch-work and embroidery are pleasing.

[ a breath. she attempts a smile ]

My thanks for your time and your counsel.

There aren't any vendors in the city, but Emily has made a deal with Delight to share memories in exchange for fabrics. We have quite a few bolts already, if you contact her. She'd be happy to have another with clothing-making skills.

[ That sounds sad to him, that she couldn't think of anything to please Delight. Nothing at all? ]

Maybe I can get you what you need?

[Oh! Someone else who can sew! This merits using the video function on this. Emily isn't quite smiling, but she isn't glaring, either. ]

Hi, I'm Emily -- the one Pell mentioned. I'm going to send you a map of the city so you can see where to find me. I'm still just learning to sew myself, so I'd love if you could show me what you know.

[There's a pause as she sends Alayne the map.]

Come by whenever you want. I'm pretty much always there during the day.

Oh, and if you want fabric in a specific color, all you have to do is tell Delight a happy memory, and she'll give you a bolt.

['You are well met.' Geez. This lady is from one of those worlds with nobles and knights. She even looks the part. Once, Emily would've told someone like her to fuck off back to the ren fair. Now, she's glad to meet someone who is actively asking for fabric. Alayne may not know about modern fashion, but she knows how to sew. That's good enough.

Also, bonus: Alayne doesn't seem like a bitch.]


Nice to meet you too.

[That's as polite as she'll get for now. Sorry, Alayne.]

She can feel it. Delight gets power from our happiness. She's actually a really good listener too, and she's so sweet.

[Miriam waves cheerfully at the video, her curls nearly devouring the frame.]

You can sew? That's awesome. I'll totally trade you some cool shit if you make my shirts look nice.

[personal profile] dogsanddaughters 2016-07-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Miriam giggles.]

You called me a lady! That's cool. But yeah, embroidery would be nice. All the stuff here's all bland and boring.

[She leans in closer.]

Whatcha want for it?

Nothing's really expected of you while you're here, except survival. But I think everyone appreciates anyone who can offer useful skills.

There are clothes in some of the shops. It's hard to find anything in specific, especially anything that'll fit, but I'm sure you could take them apart if you needed the fabric.
unknowable: (maybe it's the pressure)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-07-16 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure people would appreciate that. I can't do much more than mend a tear or sew on a button. I think there might be some people here who were working on making clothes?

[He's not sure, that's not exactly his area.]

[Carlisle is way too close to the camera, but that's what happens when he's super excited.]

Are you a seamstress? We've long been in need of one of those.

That's far better than nothing. Do you know how to make gloves? Or do you just sew?

Alayne.

[ For her, video, and Wanda smiling. ]

I have something that will need alteration.

[ A white lie, Wanda knows to manage with clothes that don't fit as well as they should. ]

When should I come by?
scarletcast: ([ aou ] 050)

[personal profile] scarletcast 2016-07-15 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Then I will come over now.

[ It is best never to delay, after all. Wanda knocks on Alayne's door half an hour. She is carrying some clothes, as well as a bowl of fresh fruit from Sorrow's orchard. ]

[Corbin is obviously unused to using cameras of any sort, he's peering at the screen instead of the camera, and it's not really facing the right way when he turns it on, giving "Alayne" an awkward view of half his face at first]

If'n I c'n fin' the fabric, I'd be happy t' barter fer a shirt. Mine's a bit of a sight.

[By which he means it's got bullet holes and blood all over it, but he doesn't want to talk about things in front of someone who seems nice.]

I jes got here, so I can't really tell ya 'bout the gods or anythin', but I c'n draw ya a map of the place if'n ya need that.
crowboy: (You know you like me)

[personal profile] crowboy 2016-07-15 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd please me ver' much, miss.

[And he smiles, because he is so ready to get out of this shirt, he soaked it in the sink, so most of the blood is out, but it's still got holes in it.]

I'll get th' map drawn up an' take it over to ya. Wherebouts ya at?

[If she doesn't insist, he'll still owe her one, he knows he doesn't have much to trade with right now anyway.]

[Souji recognizes her from the Fleet, though she gives a different name. That's not entirely surprising; Souji knows of at least two other names that boys with his face have been given in other worlds. Maybe it's the same for her. She has the same graceful demeanor, the same cadence to her words, and it's encouraging to see a familiar face - they've been in short supply thus far in this new location. He greets her wearing a friendly smile.]

Hello, Miss Stone. My name is Souji Seta. It's very nice to meet you - I'm new here too, and I've been through a lot of the city since I arrived. I can try to answer your questions, though I don't know if I'll be much help.
truthvalue: (i'm a picture perfect passenger)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-07-25 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Then I would have to insist you call me Souji.

[Because that's fair, right? Right.]

Yes - I have a friend here, from somewhere I lived before. She's been helping me get used to this place.
