Clothing Options and perhaps some Curse Shenanigans.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Who: Kanaya Maryam, many others.
Where: Kanaya Maryams Storefront For Commissioned Ragripping And Seamstressing With Display Space For Artistic Clothing Creations
When: Throughout this week, literally any time of day or night.
Style: I can match, though I do like those fetching braces. ][
Status: Open!

The door states the posted hours of this fashion boutique, the odd choice of opening one hour after sunset and closing one hour before sunrise... And yet the shop has been open quite a bit more often than that. Some days it hardly even closes. Kanaya has been throwing herself into her work lately, perhaps overdoing it a little. Just about any time someone comes in, she'll be in the back, slaving away on some new dress, or suit, or maybe even a hat. She still hasn't quite mastered the art of haberdashery, but that hasn't dissuaded her from trying.

Here is a more or less updated description of this shop.

Monday, around 3am

[chosen_gigolo]

Knock knock!

[Out and about at late hours as always, the redhead gives his informal greeting to the shop at large as he enters, looking forward to seeing what Kanaya's been working on. They'd been trying to get together for quite awhile in order to play around with wardrobes and tonight Zelos was finally able to get away and pay Kanaya a visit.]

Your super ultra handsome model is here~!

Re: Monday, around 3am

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Oh?

[She comes out from the back room and theatrically takes a moment to look around, searching.]

Where'd you leave him, Zelos? Outside?

I know it's been forever, feel free to ignore and drop the thread x.x; sorry

[chosen_gigolo]

[He gives an indignant sputter, barely concealing the laugh behind it, and spins around for her to see.]

C'mon now~ You can't tell me this body isn't a magnificent stage to showcase your brilliant designs~ Not honestly, anyway!

[He gives her a bright grin, practically oozing with confidence.]

Besides, this was your idea, even if I'm a bit late.

NEVER

[sylphauxiliatrix]

A true designer can work with any canvas.

[She heads back into the workroom, stopping at the threshold to look back over her shoulder with a sly grin.]

Even yours. Come on.

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai's week has been pretty rough so he decides it is time to do something to get his mind off of..well..everything. He remembers the discussion about clothes before as he is passing by the clothing shop and decides that today is the best day for trying on new clothes.

He pushes the door open and looks around the shop.]

Hello~?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[A sewing machine can be heard whirring away in the back room.]

Just a moment, please.

[The machine stops at Kanaya finishes whatever stitch she was making, and she come out from the back room to greet her visitor.]

Oh, hello Fai. How have you been?

[behind_my_smile]

I've been..well. [that is a lie but then again Fai is a chronic liar and doesn't see any reason to worry her. His smile stays intact.]

I hope you have been as well. I also hope I am not interrupting anything important.

[Saturday]

[lawesome]

[So this is the place, hmmm?

To be honest, it hadn't been a challenge for Redglare to figure out Kanaya' whereabouts (disappointing really) once she had her sights set on meeting the girl. Kanaya was one of the few young trolls she hadn't met yet, and though she had received some information on her, she still thought it best to actually pay her a visit. With only so many trolls present here, it would be smart to know exactly what they were like, and how useful they could be to her in case of need. And what kind of legislacerator would she be if she didn't have some kind of network?

With those thoughts in mind, she pushes open the door, striding into the shop with the clack of her heels and a pointed sound when she brings down her cane in front of her, leaning on it.]

Miss Maryam, I presume?

[Saturday] it is, then!

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Yes, how may I...

[She cuts off as she gets a look at her visitor. Terezi? No... Her ancestor then? ]

Ahem. How may I help you, Miss Redglare?

[Safe enough. If this was some weird future/older Terezi, she surely wouldn't mind being called that name while wearing that outfit.]

[lawesome]

How indeed. I heard you make clothes. Maybe I came her for a new outfit.

[She shifts a little, her stance relaxing.]

Maybe I came here because I am curious and wanted to talk to you. I guess we don't know until it happens!

[aim_exorable]

[This is a Darkleer.]

[This is a Darkleer that has been forced out of his hive.]

[This is a Darkleer that is actually wearing the outfit Kanaya may recognize!]

[...It's the one suitable for public. The... The other one we don't talk about. Yep.]

[He enters the shop quietly, and raps his knuckles gently on the counter.]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Kanaya hears the soft noise in her display room, and comes to greet the visitor. She's pleasantly surprised to find that the soft noises were not, in fact being caused by some small child or intelligent mouse trying to get her attention, but that of one of the largest and certainly the strongest of the trolls. It would be an amusing juxtaposition of expectation and result, if one didn't know of his habitual preference for remaining unnoticed.]

Darkleer! It's good to see you. Did the Disciple force you out into the open again?

[aim_exorable]

No.

[Please Kanaya! Think better of him.]

Equius and Gamzee did. At any rate, I was hoping I could commission you for other items, possibly. Do you have the time?

[oceanbreasts]

[ She had heard, once upon a time, about a nice place to go and get some fancy ass clothes made. And Roxy, being a classy lady, wanted some new fancy ass clothes. Or at least one fancy ass dress beyond just the masquerade dress she still had in her closet (and may or may not occasionally bring out to wear around her room for shits and giggles shut up don't judge her).

She spends far longer reading the sign than is really necessary before she finally pushes the door open to peek in. ]

Helloooooooo~

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[She's just putting the finishing touches on one of her displays, making sure the suit is sitting correctly on the model.]

Oh! Hello. Welcome to my shop. You're Roxy, right?

[She's seen this girl around on the network, but they've never really had a chance to meet, have they? Kanaya doesn't know exactly what's going on with the alpha kids in general, but the seeing the name Lalonde around has her a bit intrigued.]

[oceanbreasts]

One 'n only!

[ Didn't she see this classy dame at the masquerade? She's pretty sure she did. And that she got mistaken for Rose (which is totally awesome and a-okay in her book). Roxy was pretty gone that night, though; it's hard to remember much. ]

This is your place, huh? Swanky as hell.

[spacecase]

[Ding ding ding! Did somebody order a fellow Space player? Jade doesn't usually have a reason to pop on into Kanaya's shop besides saying hello, but for once she actually has an agenda!]

Kanaya! Helloooooo?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Jade!

[She did not, in fact, order another space player, but she's certainly not disappointed. Agenda or no, she's always happy to see her spacesister! Kanaya comes running up from the back room to greet her fellow frog wrangler, forge stoker, and over all awesome lady, starting with a quick friendly hug.]

How have you been?

[spacecase]

Pretty good, pretty good. What about you? I know you are keeping busy, at least!

[Hugs are awesome!]

[crabbygenius]

[It's a late hour but it seems to Washu that doesn't matter around this particular shop. So to settle her curiosity, she has a possible request for the seamstress if she's in.]

Hello~? You're not to busy for a potential customer are you?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Kanaya comes out from her work room.]

No, not at all, Miss Washu. Thanks again for your assistance the other day.

[crabbygenius]

Not a problem. I'm happy I could help.

Actually, helping you the other day got me thinking about something. Usually creating my own clothes isn't a problem. But, I was thinking perhaps I could let someone else do the designing and creating for a change.

That is, if you're up to the challenge.

Current day, now that the snow is falling.

[feralfanatic]

[The door at the front of the shop opens as a familiar oliveblood makes her way into the shop. The Disciple seems to be hefting a large bundle of what could only be animal pelts. her voice calls out once the door has closed.]

Kanaya, do you happen to be here?

Re: Current day, now that the snow is falling.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[ Naturally, she is. She's been in the shop far more often than out of it, spending so much time working. One eyebrow raises up as she notices Disciples burden.]

Hello Disciple. What's all this?

[feralfanatic]

[Her eyes light with recognition and a smile hits her lips the moment Kanaya appears. She was a good friend, and her strong resemblance to the Dolorosa only brought her good memories. Still she was here on a mission.]

Furs, from my hunts up on the island. I was hoping, if you were not too busy, that I could commission you to turn them into something that could keep me warm up on the island. It is unfortunately getting quite cold out and I find myself without proper attire.

If there is enough material, I would also like to commission a second set fitted for Nepeta.
