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!

[After a suitable amount of time, ding-dong~ The doorbell rings.]

[And here's Rarity to answer the door~]

Oh, Mr. Grimsley! Please, come in!

Miss Rarity.

[Much less surprised by talking horses this time, Grimsley sweeps into a bow and procures a small posy of flowers from behind his back.]

A gesture of my appreciation for the lovely lady.

[Rarity graciously bows her head in return, appreciating the polite gesture. She does look a little surprised about the flowers, but also quite pleased.]

Oh, they're beautiful, thank you! Just a moment, let me get these in some water.

[Her horn glows, and there's the noise of running water from the other room. In a few moments, a vase filled halfway with water comes floating into the entranceway. Rarity lifts the flowers from Grimsley's hand, depositing them in the vase and setting it on an endtable.]

There! Those will make a lovely after-dinner snack. Thank you again.

[Grimsley had been basking in the glow of the appreciation up until the word 'snack', at which point he blinks rapidly a few times.]

Ah. Of course. Lilies are quite high in Vitamin J, or so I hear.

[A short cough.]

You've settled in well enough to open shop, then? I'm accustomed to having my clothes personally tailored, you see, and I'd really hate to do without.

[Rarity smiles as she daintily leads him back to her studio, nodding along the way.]

Yes, I think I'll be fine for a while. The town returned most of my supplies from home.

Charming. Let's see the finished goods, then.

[And into the studio he goes.]

[Rarity leads Grimsley back into the studio. Hanging in the corner is a modified tuxedo looking piece. It looks reasonably like what he's used to wearing, except it's done in mostly darker shades of blue and without the red accents, as she didn't have that color fabric when she was originally working on this one. And true to her usual style, it's also tastefully embellished with rhinestones.]

Well! What do you think?

[Grimsley thoughtfully examines the design, rubbing the fabric between his fingers, examining the stitching, casting a dubious eye at the embellishments. He'll make his pronouncement after a moment or two.]

Perhaps a little lighter on the gemstones. I like to aim more for brooding aristocrat than belle of the ball.

Otherwise. Good.

Ah, I see. Hmm...

[Rarity thinks for a moment as her horn begins to glow, lifting several of the gems off the outfit but leaving a few around the wrists. They essentially look like fancy cufflinks at this point.]

There! How's that, then? I would have used darker stones, but I'm afraid Mayfield didn't include them with my fabric.

[Grimsley will flash a smile in appreciation.]

Charming.

For a first time effort for a different species, it's more than adequate. At least... to the eyes. Do you mind terribly if I try it for a fit?

Date: 2011-09-07 10:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] frilly-filly.livejournal.com
Not at all! Feel free!

[Rarity proudly steps aside, gesturing with one foreleg toward the suit. She's nothing if not meticulous, so he should find it a rather good fit even for her first attempt at human clothing.]

[Eh-hem. Grimsley waits for Rarity to avert her eyes before he removes his current (somewhat stodgy) suit to try on the new one. Though it takes him a few minutes, it's quite clear that this is much more to his liking.]

Hmm... I've waited a quarter of a year for this. Most satisfactory.

[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?

Date: 2011-09-10 07:21 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 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?

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.]

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

Date: 2011-09-10 08:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 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?

From: [identity profile] frilly-filly.livejournal.com
A nice garden salad should be fine, I would think.

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

Date: 2011-09-12 01:12 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] frilly-filly.livejournal.com
Yes, that sounds lovely. I'll be looking forward to it!

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

Let us meet again this weekend, then.

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