5th Dress

[Phone; unfiltered]

Good evening, Mayfield! Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Rarity, and I'm living at 836 Hastings Boulevard with the Liebert family. They've given me quite a warm welcome, and Mayfield has shown itself to be possessed of some rather... quaint charms of its own when it's not playing bad jokes on us. Unfortunately, there is one rather distressing thing I've noticed about this town that I intend to do my part to correct - the utter lack of proper fashion sense. Why, I've never seen such atrocious designs in my life! It's a travesty, and I refuse to allow it to continue any longer!

As such, since Mayfield has been so kind as to return my sewing supplies, I am proud to have the opportunity to announce the official grand opening of Carousel Boutique, home of the finest couture fashion! Feel free to stop by and browse some of the designs I've already completed for my first few customers, or simply to be measured for a commission you may be considering. I personally guarantee all of my work, and I simply will not allow a customer to walk away anything less than fully satisfied with the finished product.

...Well, I've gone on quite long enough.  Please do consider stopping by at your leisure.  Thank you very much for your time, and I hope to see you all soon!

[And of course she obliges. Always polite this one. But she's all smiles when she turns back around.]

Oh, it fits you perfectly! The cut is rather striking, wouldn't you say? I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. Not bad for a first pass, if I do say so myself!

I can only imagine what you may be able to accomplish with some more experience. Now... how much to compensate you for your efforts?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

The sky's the limit! I do hope you will continue to patronize this shop in the future, Mr. Grimsley. As for payment...

[blah blah she quotes some sort of reasonable amount that will enable her to replace the supplies she used, etc.]

How does that sound?

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

I would suggest an exquisite dinner and a glass of champagne instead, but I suspect that wouldn't do in this case.

[The money is handed over.]

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Why Mr. Grimsley, you certainly do know how to talk to a lady. I certainly wouldn't be averse to such an arrangement either.

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

But of course. The members of the fairer sex must be... suitably admired. But are you certain you wish to partake of human food?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

A nice garden salad should be fine, I would think.

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

As you please. Then, shall we say... Sunday at noon?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Yes, that sounds lovely. I'll be looking forward to it!

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

Certainly not as much as I to have the company of such a lady as yourself.

Let us meet again this weekend, then.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I shall see you then.

[And with a last bow, Grimsley exits stage left with his new set of clothing. Cue video game jingle.]
