QUESTS

A) L'Amourtentia (NSFW possible!)

A sample...huh.

[She stared at the bottle in her hand. Here she thought that brewing would be enough, but Kiss from a Rose was promoting this...she knew that it was a thing, but still. Still, she had no idea what to do with this. Maybe it'd be funny if she spiked someone drink with it? Or would it be a not good prank? She had no idea.

Hearing someone come close, her head came up and her ears twitched.]

Mm?

B) Research Request

[Every so often she did a slow tour, just to see how things were going. Which meant...going to various libraries and shops in the city, and going up to the help desk, and talking quietly to whoever was there. She couldn't just butt in, thinking that they were doing something for her.

But she did look around. Eye contact? Could certainly happen!]

C) Sweet Chimera

[She had been hoping things would go well here. But...she wasn't sure. She was basically inviting a bunch of unknowns into what had been a personal project of hers. Still...she had to let go of some things sometime.

So while she was cloaked-covering up some of her more obvious injuries on her back-her gaze was alert, and she went over with a slight wave to catch their attention.]

Good day. Everything is going well so far?

[Nothing exploded? Please don't make anything explode.]

D) Desmodus Mori

[Thank goodness for the vampire bar. She had no idea if she was doing this right, if she should have gone to the Coven with it but...she knew vampires, and she wanted to make sure this was doing this right.

She slid in during the evenings, and at the bar she ordered a small drink, sipping it. Waiting to see what may arise, with or without her meddling.]

E) Continuing Conquests

[She needed to take it easier then she would have liked-mostly because she wasn't used to the hard labor. But she could and would be a good guard for those that were building their outposts.

Hearing footsteps, her ears twitched, and she glanced to the side, where she heard it.]

Hello?

[Are you coming to try and give her a reason to use her sword??? because her hand is on it!]

Aefenglom

B: Clothing Alteration

[She didn't work as many hours as she used to in Knit Wit, but she still went in on a semi regular basis, mending and altering, not seemingly having any trouble with the needle and thread. When she heard the bell tinkle above the door, her ears twitched forward, and she moved to come to the front, more curious then weary.]

Welcome to Knit Wit. What can I assist you with?

Wildcard

Aka hit me with whatever! But if you want to know of her usual to find spots:

-Outside tending her garden at the Monster mansion
-In the market, looking for meal things and Prim/sphnix treats
- At a cafe, people watching
-On the roofs (I'm serious, it's a chimera thing)
-Inside her home

If you want to plot, you can find me at

nammah !

Very well.

[ Saber takes her chosen dress and vanishes behind the folding screen. There's a bit of time while she works on getting it on (and getting out of her old outfit) and she finally emerges a few minutes later, smoothin the skirt with her hands. ]

I must admit that I'm not used to this.

[Caren took a few moments to fuss and bring out a few other things, before preparing herself a cup of coffee. Ah...that did take awhile didn't it. Poor Saber.

It really doesn't suit her, does it.

Caren stood up, and slowly circled her, tail swishing slowly.]

It can take some time to get used to it. However...I don't think the style may work for you. You like more mobility, yes?

[ Saber resists the urge to fidget and instead holds her head high. This is fine. She'll be fine. ]

Yes; something I can move in. And... it does not need to be quite as fancy.

Mm, and this isn't formal but...

This isn't suitable, stylewise. It feels as if you're getting lost in the material.

[She shook her head, before moving to the clothing pile and picking up a set that was achingly familiar, and offering it.]

This is a little more streamlined, and far less fancy.

[ Saber shows no signs of recognition. She holds the outfit up to examine it with a little frown. ]

That would serve, yes. It isn't over the top.

[She didn't think so, else...ah, that'd be nice wouldn't it.]

It's demure while having plenty of room to run and fight. Feel free to try it on. I've a few other options you may be interested in.

I will.

[ She pauses and glances at Ortensia as she ducks behind the screen again. ]

Do you have anything with trousers?

I do. Casual trousers, suits, things of that ilk.

Would you like me to pull those out?

[Thanks to Oz, she's prepared!]

If you would.

[ There's the sounds of rustling fabric as Saber works on getting undressed and dressed again. ]

I'd like to see what's available.

There's a large variety, mostly in the city's style, which is considered...Victorian or Steampunk, from what I've heard.

[But somehow, she has a variety of dark business suits that she's getting out and laying on the table for trying on.]

But I've been able to alter some of them to a more modern style. And, too, I also do commissions for sweatshirts.

I could do sweatpants too, if that is your desire.

[ Saber emerges again, still adjusting the cuffs and collar a little. It's not quite what she's used to, but it actually suits her rather well, she thinks. ]

This will work well, I think. Although it may need to be tailored slightly.

[ She pauses as she glances at the business suits. They remind her of the clothing that she'd received from Irisviel and her expression flickers for half a moment. ]

Something like that would also work well for me. Although...

[ She frowns. ]

Sweatshirts and sweatpants might actually be useful as well. [ Another pause. ]

I have little money at this time, unfortunately.

[She pauses for a moment in what she's doing to look at her. Ah...that does bring her back. Caren manages not to give more of an indication with her face but-her tail does swish once.]

Is it too loose?

[Or maybe too tight. She hadn't measured and taken in account Saber's muscle definition. Oops.]

Perhaps...if I may offer a suggestion? If you don't have much in the way of material goods to trade, why don't you buy the one outfit you'd want outright, and do the rest on layaway?

Perhaps a little. And maybe the hem could be taken up slightly.

[ She raises the skirt slightly with her hands to illustrate. Her own tail is twitching slightly as she thinks. ]

I... could. But I feel as if I might be taking advantage of your generosity.

I could measure the hem, and we can agree to what works for you. And too, make a better pocket for your tail.

[It's not really a pocket, more of a hole, but it sounds far more polite. As for the rest...Caren raised her eyebrows, looking up at her face.]

It's only taking advantage is if you dally on the payments. And we'd do fair payments, for you and I.

Besides, it's to your benefit. It may be too soon to get a full wardrobe.

Well, in that case... I will accept your proposal.

[ She'll have to earn money, honestly. She doesn't rightfully know what else to do. One must live, after all. ]

I am mainly looking for clothing - I cannot keep wearing the same thing over and over. It will wear out and become filthy.

Good.

[She nods. It'll just have to be a matter of what Arthur chooses first then.]

Not to mention, they cannot be maintained with mana. How many pieces of clothing would you like to pay for?

Or...if you know how to mend...you could work here. That's how I received many of my first clothes.

I think... three or four outfits to begin with? Would be sufficient?

[ She has what she came in and a few other odds and ends she's picked up. ]

I know the basics of sewing, so I can at least patch things. Beyond that, my knowledge of clothing is limited.

For a start, I believe so. But I would include under things which-you could get here, or other places for less expense.

[She's going to be fair! But that...she made a soft noise.]

We always need menders. I, or other employees, could teach you more if you want a part time job here. It's quiet, and the hours are varied.

[Also unlikely Gilgamesh would set foot in here, that's something.]

It hardly seems suitable for a knight... but I suppose that there is not much call for a king here.

[ She smiles, just a little, at her own joke. ]

So I suppose I will accept, if you will have me.

Maybe not a knight, but pages and squires did repairs for knights, did they not?

[Caren smiles back. She's done a good deed today. Two good deeds, so she can be a gremlin for the rest of the week!]

Of course. Just let me know when you want to start and your schedule, and I'll tell the owner. In the meantime- why don't you try more things on, see what you want to work towards?

We did, at that...

[ She was a squire, once. The thought summons up a slightly fond smile and then she comes back to the present. ]

I can start when ever you have need of me. My time is mostly my own, here. And... yes. I'll look around.

[ Time to see what else there is. ]

Excellent. I'll check the scheduling then.

[She gestured to the racks, the clothing she'd laid out as well as the coffee table.]

I'll be back in a moment. Everything on the floor-help yourself.

[Saber can marvel at the Fae and Dragon samples they have, among other things.]

[ Huh. Saber stands up to browse. She filters through the racks of clothing, pausing here and there to examine something that catches her attention. It's strange - when she was king, she never worried about clothes. Nor had she needed to worry when she was a Heroic Spirit. But now... how different.

She pulls a dress off of the rack that's (mostly) backless to accommodate someone with wings. She's examining it when Caren gets back. ]

[There was some paper filing she had to do, some notes she had to write, just some things she had to arrange to make sure that Saber could come in on her own and her and the staff wouldn't be overwhelmed.

Thankfully, Caren is a quick writer, and when she comes out, she makes a soft noise at what Saber has in hand.]

Ah, I see you found the winged section. What do you think?

They're... interesting. But I don't know if I'll ever need them.

[ She's reasonably sure she's turning into something more landbound. Tails and stuff. ]

It seems to expose quite a bit of skin.
