[Action: inside Yuri & Hei's apartment]

[Yuri stares in surprise at the extremely odd outfit that he's discovered among his possessions. He would think it just an unusual kind of costume, but it appears to come with--a crossbow? He picks up and turns the weapon over in his hand. It is no mere prop. Why would he have something like this? He

[Upon entering the apartment for the first time, Hei stops at the threshold when he sees Yuri inside. He forces himself to give Yuri a somewhat doofy half smile, half look of surprise.]

You're, um… my roommate?

[Yuri gives a slight start at the unexpected entry, then offers a smile of his own. He rises from the chair where he'd been reading. He's not entirely surprised by this. He'd been expecting to be assigned a roommate sooner or later.]

Ah, yes. I suppose I am. My name is Yuri Petrov. Pleased to meet you. [He extends a hand.]

[starstrikes]

[He takes it and offers him a moderately weak shake.]

Li. I'm afraid I don't remember my last name yet, but at the lab they did tell me that was normal.

It's nice to meet you, too. I hope I won't be too much trouble.

[a_civil_service]

[Yuri gives a firm answering squeeze, then releases his hand.]

It is. I knew only my last name for more than a week, not knowing that it was my last rather than my first.

I'm sure you won't be, Li. I'm often out, so I won't be in your way too much. However, if there's anything I can do to help you, don't hesitate to let me know.

[Keith appears, smiling, in his usual plain white tee. Oh, Keith.]

You're a really talented person, Yuri. It's really kind of you to share your talents with everyone.
I don't think I need any clothes-- what kind of clothes do you like to make best?

[video]

[a_civil_service]

Ah, hello, Keith. Thank you, but it's just a hobby, really. I only remembered the fact that I like to sew, and how to do it, but not my preferences or what I've made in the past.

So far I like to make menswear, but I believe I have the technical knowledge to make most things, if I had the proper supplies.

Menswear, is that like suits? I wonder what I'd look like in a suit!
You must be making clothes for yourself. What are your favorite colors for clothes?

[video]

[a_civil_service]

Yes, like suits. I can make you one, if you'd like.

I do like gray, for suits. But green and blue are also favorites of mine, it seems. [He had felt drawn to those colors, and they remind him of the fire.]

[lifesmegassweet]

Really? Can you make dresses? I can make a few myself, but they all end up kinda simple.

[a_civil_service]

I can. If you were to describe what you wanted, I do believe I can create rather elaborate patterns based on ideas. [If he did make that costume he found, it's quite a complicated piece of work.]

[lifesmegassweet]

Oh, really? That's so awesome! How about a megas cute dress with just a bit of ruffle and a jacket? Oh, and in blue and green! I think it'd look swell!

[a_civil_service]

I can do that easily. I happen to have blue and green fabric already. [The colors green and blue, along with grey, seem to be his favorites.]

I will need to know your measurements, or at least your size--or you can provide me with some of your clothes to measure from, if you prefer.

[canthandleacape]

How much are you charging?

[video]

[a_civil_service]

Nothing at all. I find it rather meditative and relaxing. Yet there's only so much I need to make for myself, and I thought it would be an interesting challenge to design for others.

You can contribute to pay for materials, if you'd like.

[video]

[canthandleacape]

Free, really? That's pretty generous of you, Yur'. I might have to take you up on that.

[video]

[a_civil_service]

Do let me know. I'll simply need your measurements and a description of the garment you'd like. I appear to be able to make a wide range of apparel.
