since a whole bunch of you just got here, i just wanted to point out that if you need clothes altered or tailor made so you have more than just the clothes you got here in, i have a standing deal with delight: tell her one happy memory, and she'll give you a bolt of good cotton fabric in a solid color

we have a sewing shop by the lake. [attachment: map.jpg] you'll know it when you see it

pell and i can mend and sew or teach you how to sew your own clothes

[She's about to post this when she remembers her new bff, who goes just about everywhere with her. On most days. Unless he's hunting.]

lately i bring our house's wolf when i'm there. he's nice, but he will attack you if you're an asshole

[That last part is a lie, but she's just going to leave it at that.]


(ooc: Action logs with Emily (and Wolfie) at the shop can be done in Emily's inbox or in the log comm. She's there pretty much every day and makes it a point not to be too mean to people, which... isn't saying much! I'm also down to handwave meetings.)

seriously? will she give you any kind of fabric?

[unfollowing]

the deal i made is for cotton, but if you can get other fabric from her, i will so take it. i love the cotton she gives us, but i'd love some variety

[fourthsaken]

i might try it. i'd love to get different types of fabric. or really any fabric. i'm so fucking sick of my school uniform.

how'd you get a sewing shop?

[unfollowing]

same. i was so done with the clothes here after like a day. all cotton's not perfect, but it's better than nothing at all

i just picked an empty shop building i liked and brought my fabric from delight there. other people came and taught me how to make things, and i've kept working and getting better. it didn't make sense to have an entire bolt of cotton for just myself, and also, there's no way i'm wearing only one color while i'm here

so i told people about the deal. anyone who does it gets fabric and brings it to the shop. everyone gets better clothes, everyone's happier. delight wins, we win. that's like, as good as it gets. we get needles and scissors and stuff from the shops

[fourthsaken]

that's so cool. i already know how to sew and stuff. do you think i'd be able to use it?

[unfollowing]

yeah, it's here for anyone who wants to learn or teach or just sew

[fourthsaken]

dude, that's amazing. i'll definitely come by.

i'm jade, by the way. i should probably introduce myself before invading your space.

[Every time the sewing shop makes someone happy, Emily feels validated. She'd asked for fabric from Delight mainly for herself, but she hadn't been lying when she'd said a lot of people would find happiness in the prospect of wearing clothes that actually fit them, clothes they actually like.]

i'm emily, and the wolf's name is wolfie, in case he's here when you stop by

[fourthsaken]

got it. is he like, a pet wolf?

[unfollowing]

pretty much, yeah

[fourthsaken]

no offense, but that sounds really dangerous... how do you even train a wolf?

[unfollowing]

we sort of adopted him. he'd already been trained

[fourthsaken]

i should stop being surprised. people here have some weird pets.

[unfollowing]

literally anything can happen here, so yeah, get used to the unexpected

[Until you start expecting everything. Whatever.]

[fourthsaken]

don't worry, i learned that lesson pretty quickly.
