First things first, let me introduce myself. My name is Juliet, I am a relatively recent arrival, and to those I have not met already, I extend a hello.

Before being spirited away to this tower, I worked as a tailor, and I'd rather my skills not fall into disuse. If you'd like someone to make you clothes-as I've noticed the lack of things provided-or if you'd like repair work, alterations, etc., talk to me. I'm sure we can work out an arrangement. If you require proof of my skill, I've made some pieces you can look at.

My room is on the first floor, number 17. I'm not averse to meeting elsewhere, if that suits you better. This offer will remain open for as long as I reside here.

Making clothes, huh... [Well, that certainly gives her an idea.] Can you do it from scratch? Or do you need something else to work off of?

[ex_depaysement502]

It's certainly possible to do it from scratch. Takes longer to get it right, though, so I don't recommend it for rush orders. Why do you ask?

[voice- private]

[doesnotgetit]

I have... a friend. A very good friend. Her birthday is next month, and... I'd really like to do something for it. I'm working on building my skills enough that I can make a cake for her, but she's done a lot for me. I want to sort of repay her, you know?

So I was thinking about taking you up on your offer, maybe. So I can give her a real present. Do you think that would be okay?

[after a moment]

More than alright. Find a way to get her measurements-borrowing clothes she's not wearing can do the trick if there's not another way-and think of what you want her to have, maybe sketching it out if you can or describing it when we meet. Tell me the day of her birthday, and I promise you I'll have it done before then. [Even if she has to pull late nights, she'll do it, because birthdays are important.] I swear I'll keep it secret.

[doesnotgetit]

Her birthday is December 15th. And I'd offer to bring you pictures, but... it seems the library doesn't have any books that I could use. Um... [Good thing this is private. She wouldn't want this big hint to get out, with all the other Servants around.] Are you familiar at all with... Roman history? Specifically how they dressed?

Also, how am I supposed to repay you?

Tailor, hm? I am glad to hear there is at least one that has such a gift.

[ex_depaysement502]

Surely people want something different apart from their suits.

[divinitysoiled]

I would certainly enjoy more than my single outfit.

[ex_depaysement502]

Got any ideas?

[justabignobody]

[...Repair work, huh?]

I have a coat that got a bit torn up a while ago. Would you be willing to take a look at it?

[ex_depaysement502]

Absolutely. What material is it?

[justabignobody]

Leather.

[And well. Some darkness protection woven in somehow.]

[ex_depaysement502]

Understood. I wouldn't want to bring too delicate of needles.

Making clothes, huh? Don't know where you'd scrounge up materials around here, but if you can, I wouldn't be averse to expanding my wardrobe a bit.

Of course, question is, what's your going rate?

[ex_depaysement502]

The workshop has more than you'd expect at first glance.

As for my rate-what are you willing to trade? Since I can't just ask for money anymore.

[dance_mypuppets]

Not quite my vocation, you might say, but I'm accounted a woodworker of some skill. I'd offer a trade of craft for craft, if there's anything you need.

[ex_depaysement502]

Would it be possible for you to make a comb? It's inconvenient to not have something of that nature-you can't carry a hairbrush in your pocket.

[forgetbeam]

Hello. Do you have anything for cleaning white clothing?

[ex_depaysement502]

Depends. What's the nature of the stain, and how bad is it?

[forgetbeam]

One is stained with blood. I think it is beyond fixing at this point. But in general, I am most concerned with the dirt and wrinkles in everything else.

[ex_depaysement502]

It's not that hard to handwash things to remove dirt, and as for wrinkles, one trick when lacking an iron is to place it by the shower when you go-the steam should help smooth them out.

[calculatedfire]

Hello. That is a useful talent to have here. I'm not sure that there is much that resembles money in this place however.

[ex_depaysement502]

No, but people are still willing to trade. Money isn't an issue.

[calculatedfire]

What do you take for trade?

[ex_depaysement502]

What do you offer?
