_{[When the feed connects there's nothing to be seen other than a standard sized, wooden chair in the middle of a meagerly furnished dorm room. Soon however a rather petite figure comes into view, one with a cute face and rather large, pointy ears. She can't be more than three feet tall by the looks of it and once she's clambered atop the chair she's left standing on it, only to thrust her arms dramatically in the air for a big wave, a high pitched voice following the action.]}

Hullo! I'm Tataru Taru but just Tataru will do. Twenty one summers old and at your service!

_{[That's right, she's just fun sized. Her arms drop to her sides as she continues.]}

Now I know I haven't been here for very long, but I realized rather quickly that not many here have heard of Lalafell. No I am not a Fae, nor am I anything but a fully grown lady - we Lalafell are simply a small, youthful race - and quite successful might I add, especially when it comes to trade and magic.

_{[She gestures to herself, pointing to her chest.]}

So, for those curious Monsters and Witches out there, not only am I a Lalafell lady but I'm almost a whole Yalm in height. Quite tall!

_{[And she's proud of it too. Now that that's out of the way...it's time for The Hustle.]}

Anyroad, since I've to make a home for myself here and have only found part time work...I wanted to offer my services! Surly tax season is creeping up on everyone, yes? Keeping track of finances and spending, either business or personal, is my specialty! I'm also a very skilled seamstress. If there's something you need made I can sew it! Cooking? Cleaning? Mining? Juggling? Entertainment in the form of song and dance? I can do it all!

If you've any questions don't be shy! Send me a message or come say hello when I'm working at Precogstitchin' or The Sly Seadog! Hope to hear from you all!

_{[With a smile and big wave she's hopping off the chair, only for the feed to cease a moment later.]}

...How could you be a person's ornament?

_{[The logistics of strapping a full person bigger than a Lalafell to another person as an accessory...cue math lady meme.]}

[mirrortide]

[It's OKAY Lapis. CALM DOWN. ]

Like I said, my physical form used to be made of solid light. There's a gem in my back, that's the actual piece of Lapis that's normally me. My physical form was destabilized, and so others came along and put me on the back of a mirror. For about 5,000 years, give or take a few hundred.

[seemstressed]

_{[This is fine.
This is not fine.
But honestly though? Knowing how wack FFXIV is? This weird tale is par for the course. Tataru's heard weirder shit.]}

I see...I'm sorry you had to endure such a thing.

[mirrortide]

Yeah, kinda sucked.

[She pauses, takes a moment, and:]

As for clothes... I mean, I'm pretty partial to the pants I've got now, but I've worn dresses and skirts. I know you said you can't do it for free, but I've only really got magic here? I guess if you need help with heavy lifting or something I can do it, since my form is still pretty strong.

[seemstressed]

Heavy lifting, heavy lifting...

_{[She taps her chin thoughtfully before snapping to attention.]}

Ah! I know! One of the men who takes care of receiving food and drink for The Sly Seadog is off for a week to tend to his sick daughter. It's short notice and clearly a temporary position, but picking up the slack while he's gone will pay more than enough for me to make you something!

[mirrortide]

So I just have to move some boxes around for a few days?

[This will Surely Work, and Not End Up A Disaster At All.]

[seemstressed]

More or less. You have to do so carefully though. You can't damage the products.

[mirrortide]

Well that... shouldn't be too hard. I think.

[Even if Lapis Lazuli's are made for Sheer Destructive Powers. At least she doesn't have those anymore!]

[seemstressed]

As long as you can listen, follow directions and can be mindful you will be fine.

[mirrortide]

Well, I'll do my best. Like I said, I don't think it should be too difficult, so... If I do get this "Money" then I just give it to you for clothes, right?

[Thats... how it works, right?]

[seemstressed]

_{[Yes that's exactly how it works.]}

Right. However I'll have to take your measurements to make sure what I make you fits.

[mirrortide]

Measurements? Like... My facet and cabochon number?

[seemstressed]

Oh no, no. More like how long your legs are, how thin your waste is - that sort of stuff.

[mirrortide]

Oh.

[What the fuck. Being unable to just phase on your own clothing is a nightmare?]

I'm... regular human sized? I think?

[Lapis is Dying.]

[seemstressed]

Unfortunately that isn't specific enough. Don't worry though, I can take your measurements.
