I understand that there are new people that are among us. To that, I must say: welcome.

[She pulls the watch back from her face. Before, one could see her face; pulling back now...one could see she's not entirely human, least from the wings curled around her form. They twitch every so often as she speaks, as if trying to make herself comfortable.]

It's going to be an interesting time while you're with us. While we may come from different worlds and different times-and indeed, states of life-we're now comrades in this place. Hence, I'd like to make a few offers-for a fee of course.

[She holds up a hand. They appear to be clawed, but hey-at least they're the length of normal finger nails!]

I happen to live in a mansion and can offer beds and food. Room and board if you will. If new comers, or those who desire someone to make your food, I will be happy to accommodate you. This can be an exchange of monies, goods, or services.

I may also be able to teach skills in cleaning and cooking, including pizza if you so desire. Lastly...

[She brings up something carefully from her lap. It's...a hoodie?]

Animal earred hoodies may be made on commission, if you so desire. For other mending and commissions, you can find me at the Knit Wit.

Please feel free to ask questions here, or contact me via my inbox.

[Oh... that hoodie seems comfortable. He doesn’t really need it as such, but...]

Would you do one with dog ears?

[And maybe not cropped like that. He isn’t sure that would suit him.]

[showsnopiety]

I most certainly can, with any alterations and sizes you may prefer.

[It's for you Connor so it doesn't have to be a crop top.]

Did you want the ears to be floppy or upright?

[plasticasshole]

[He thinks of Sumo.]

Floppy. Something oversized seems like it would be more comfortable, too.

[And it’s something to wear at home so he doesn’t get his shirts dirty.]

[showsnopiety]

[There's a rustle of paper, and Caren writes it down. Perfect.]

All right. I'll have to visit you some time to get the correct measurements but...one more question.

Would you like a tail on the back of the sweatshirt too? It'd be extra but-I could fill it so it'd be soft to lean against.

[Or a minor bothering people tool.]

[ua_duibhne]

[... he can't resist. He really can't.]

I didn't have you pegged for a seamstress, Miss Ortensia. Perhaps I'll take you up on that.

[Actually, he has something in mind for Caster but maybe he'll indulge in something a little undignified foolish too after the tension of the events in Dorchacht.]

Out of interest, what kind of animal would you choose for me?

<video>

[showsnopiety]

I've been working at Knit Wit since my arrival; it's been helpful in expanding my skills in mending to actual clothing creation.

[Some of the fancier stuff would take longer, but a hoodie...not so much. She makes a quiet noise, considering as she looks him over, slowly.]

Certainly not a hamster...perhaps a kitten? No...maybe a dog. A loyal dog may suit you best, Lancer.

Though you would make an adorable rabbit.

[ua_duibhne]

Someone we both know has priority on the dog metaphors but the sentiment is welcome.

[He chuckles, tickled but, deep down, flattered too. Not so much by the kitten but he certainly takes pride in his loyalty- and it doesn't hurt that he loves dogs too. A part of him still deeply misses his own greyhounds.]

A rabbit, though...? I'm going to interpret that as a hare.

[they're slightly more badass ok]

Yours was chosen for you, it seems.

[Elliot lets out an audible gasp at the hoodie]

Aww! Those are adorable, Caren!

[showsnopiety]

[She smells a commission!]

My thanks. I'm hopeful Prompto may model his own soon-he has a dog eared hoodie.

Video

[fiddlestick]

Haha, that sounds perfect for him.

Is there a limit to hoodies you'll make?

[psychotronics]

Thank god someone's stepping up to fill the pizza gap.

[ Lord knows she wasn't gonna do it. ]

Video;

[showsnopiety]

Someone has to.

Archer, thankfully, does know some recipes at decent prices, but he may be too shy to speak of it on the network.

[Yeah tossing him under the bus. Sorry Archer!]

Video;

[psychotronics]

Heh. So, you got a delivery service set up yet, then?

video

[clerically]

I don't think Naga herself could teach me to cook and clean.

video

[showsnopiety]

And why is that?

[clerically]

I'm looking for a word that's the opposite of talent...

Okay! I'm totally cursed at it.

[Justine smiles at the familiar person and the adorable side project. She doesn't really need Caren to make her anything but she'd love to support her friend and maybe Caren can make her something really cute.]

I'd love one.

Maybe you can help me pick colors that will suit me?

Video

[showsnopiety]

Justine...that is a difficult question. So many colors will suit you.

I think we may have to take some time to narrow down what may suit you for the moment.

Video

[ishisstrength]

You're too kind Caren.

[But the compliment makes her smile.]

I wish I could say that I have a favorite color but I like a lot of colors. I wear a lot of white but maybe for this a peach or pink color? Or maybe something to match my dragon friend. I don't know. As you can see, I'm having trouble making up my mind.

[beariot]

You know how to make pizza?

[showsnopiety]

Yes? I even made some before the trip last month to go with catmint tea.

[beariot]

I guess I was so per-occupied, I missed it entirely.

I haven't had pizza in ages.

[juzubeads]

As in, hoodies with the hoods to accommodate the ears? I guess I could see how that might be useful.

[He is still unsure what Mary's thing is with his hoodie, but, well. With the whole monster thing comes needing to alter clothes to accommodate for the changes. Annoyingly. So naturally this is what gets Kyo's attention. Since he does have his cat ears.]

[showsnopiety]

I can do those too. That's partially why I've been practicing-but that can be actual holes, parts of the hood being car ear shaped, or having it shaped so it won't flatten your ears unduly.

The latter may take more experimentation and consolation, which means a slightly higher price.

[Now she's done her business spiel...]

Hello Kyo. It's been some time.

[juzubeads]

Yeah, I'd need to figure it with my ears. I guess Momiji's would be more of a pain with his being a rabbit.

[But, well. What she says makes sense. So he doesn't argue on the price. He's aware that sewing takes skill and time, and he isn't sure if they even have actual sewing machines around here or not for that matter.]

Hey. Guess it has been a bit.
