003 💗 Keeping warm [video]

[ishisstrength]

Name: Justine
Date: July 9th
Format: Video

[Justine appears on the network with a pristine white scarf circling her throat and a pinky rosy hue brushing the tip of her nose. Her dark eyes are lovely and those who look close enough might see a brilliant dark emerald green circling her iris. Snow falls around her, thick fluffy flurries catching in her dark lashes. Her midnight hair is covered by a matching hat that's been woven with runes that Justine has yet to perfect.

She hadn't expected snow when she'd been feeling the onset of summer only a week or so before.]

Hello. [Her voice is soft and delicately sweet.] I would like to offer handmade scarfs and hats to those who need them. Mitten as well. None-cursed. I promise. [She has already had an awkward moment with an enchanted scarfs.] For purchase or borrowing.

Please let me know if you would like any. I can try and accommodate for claws and hooves as well.


CLOSE CR
(i.e. if she has spoken to you more than twice.)

I have a gift for you.

[Her voice is sweet though more excited than it had been during her announcement.]

Can you stop by?

Comments

(audio) let's combine this with the quest?

[justbeingknife]

Of course. I'll swing by now, if that's all right.

There's somethin' I need to ask your help with.

(audio) yes! Did you put it up on the quest page for both of them?

[ishisstrength]

Right now is alright.

The front door is unlocked, so please just come in.

[ Invitation or not (and Bond or not), Majima knocked on Justine's door before he stepped inside, ducking his head out of habit as he stepped inside. ]

Hi.

[ He had a thicker overcoat on over his usual clothes, and he was careful to loose the snow off his boots before he came into the house. ]

Enjoyin' the snow?

[lonewanderer]

Ones for claws would be nice.

[ Lex waves a hand in front of the camera, her fingernails clearly developing into full talons. ]

I'm not used to snow.

[ishisstrength]

Do you mind stopping by so I can measure your hands?

I've found that those with claws come in all sizes.

[She pauses as if to consider and then speaks again.]

It shouldn't take me more than an afternoon to make them.

[lonewanderer]

I can definitely do that. Mine have been growing more into talons, so... definitely not your average claws.

[ Adjusting to them has been interesting, but at least she gives a killer scratch now. ]

A gift?

[Connor tilts his head slightly as he replies.]

I'll be over right away.

[And he is, though it takes him a little while to get there since he'd been underwater searching for valuables. He has an oyster with a large pearl in his hand when he arrives, and though he's not sure it'll mean much to Justine it's the nicest thing he's found in the water so far.

He knocks on the door and waits, and smiles warmly when Justine opens the door.]

Hello Justine. I have something for you.

[He holds out the oyster.]

I know it isn't much, but I found it today and I wanted you to have it.

[He opens it to show her the pearl inside.]

[ishisstrength]

[She opens the door with a smile and a thick warm blanket wrapped around her slender figure. Justine quickly ushers Connor inside and closes the door, fighting off the cold of the snow filled air.]

For me?

[She isn't sure how to react since he had come here to receive a gift from her.

Her eyes drop to the shell and she looks very confused before he opens it to reveal the shimmering white milky pearl inside. Justine's breath catches and her eyes widen in pleasant surprise.] It's beautiful Connor.

[She likes pretty things.]

I'm not sure what I have for you can compare.

[plasticasshole]

[Connor is pleased that she likes it, and walks further inside to set it down on a table.]

It'll compare just because it's from you.

[He does look curious, though.]

What is it?

text, after much fussing and granny pecking at keys.

[fieryimpulse]

A gift?

Yes. Where do you live?

text <3

[ishisstrength]

I live in the first cottage along the road in Haven.

It is easy to find.

O-J

[reborningreen]

Making fun things, huh?

O-J

[ishisstrength]

Yes.

If you'd like yours you only need to stop by though I imagine the cold doesn't bother you with all that fur, does it?

[audio]

[oceanschild]

Ah-- really? [why would you get him a gift this is weird and new how does he deal with this.] I-I, um. You really d-didn't need to...

[audio]

[ishisstrength]

I know I don't need too. That's what makes it a gift.

[There is a warm hint of laughter in her voice. She knows of all people that Paris would be a little uncomfortable with her offering.]

So, are you going to come by?

[lovebiter]

Could you make fingerless gloves?

Willing to pay.

This is, uh, real nice of you.

text

[ishisstrength]

It's really no trouble. This is something I enjoy.

Do you have a color preference?

[loadme]

Oh. Um... sure!

I'd love to!

[She's honestly surprised.]

[ishisstrength]

Good.

I hope you don't mind the color pink.

[Justine likes girly things... and she hopes that Monika does as well.]

[wylderrant]

I suppose I could. I do love gifts...

[ishisstrength]

They were specially made.

They won't fit anyone else if you don't come and get them.

[She's teasing, just a little bit.]

[definingfuture]

Were you working on cursed mittens?

Just kidding. What exactly do claw mittens look like, anyway?

video

[ishisstrength]

It depends on the claws. Mostly they have holes in them so that talons can slide through without ripping the fabric. I also have put rings around the different layers so that one tear won't unravel the whole glove.

[She doesn't know if he knows a lot about crotchet but it's sometimes easy to unravel.]

[Voice]

[spaghettimonster]

[He's been listening to some of the other replies, but he has to know.]

I know you're saying you put holes for the claws, but... Is there any way you could make big enough mittens to hide the claws???

[Voice]

[ishisstrength]

I can but over time they will fray and rip. There isn't a yarn strong enough to withstand without magic and I'm afraid I haven't perfected a spell for that just yet.

This snow was rather sudden.
