[ it smells like dirt.

barnaby isn't particularly fond of dirt. or grass. or nature. oh sure, it can be nice to take a stroll in the park, or even maybe, i dunno, have a picnic out in a meadow or something, but other than that he's not much of an outdoor guy. trees and forests, what do. he is not okay with this.

but more importantly, this

...a tailor? I guess that depends on what you need fixed up.

[Voice]

[mindgooshed]

My jacket. It's good leather, and vintage. I'm not about to rip holes into the back of it.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Wings are in your way huh? I've worked with leather before...I could make some hardly noticeable slits to fix that.

[Voice]

[mindgooshed]

Have you? Hmm. [ PONDERS. ] I don't suppose you have any available samples of your work?

[ seriously this jacket is his baby he is srsbsns about it. ]

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Do you have a map? Come by All Passions...it's building L. There's a whole shop of samples waiting.

[Voice]

[mindgooshed]

[ oh she runs a shop, or is at least good enough to make clothing for one. that's a plus. ]

Right, someone mentioned it earlier; I'll be by shortly, thank you.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

[Someone else mentioned it? That's a good sign.] Sure thing, I'll see you in a little bit. Door's open and everything.

[Voice]

[mindgooshed]

Right, thank you very much.

[ LMAO AND ON TO ACTION I SUPPOSE. ]

[Action]

[so_shik]

[TO ACTION WE GO.

And to make this action A Thing, Shiki will as promised have the door to All Passions propped open as a sign of which building is correct. She's not entirely sure what to be looking out for in terms of the man she was just speaking to, but she's used to people just wandering in and out. Take your time, Barnaby. Take. Your. Time.]

[ HE WON'T KEEP YOU WAITING FOR LONG, just long enough. after an hour or so he finally arrives, jacket still draped over his forearm.

and he doesn't approach anyone directly because he's got to snoop around first, check all the clothing racks, inspect labels and seams and overall handiwork because fashion is serious business. ]

[Action]

[so_shik]

[She's going to let him snoop, even if she's watching from the corner of her eye. She's sitting behind the counter in the middle of the room with Mr. Mew the stuffed cat, working on repairing the sleeve of something. Currently the shop is a mixture of her fall clothing and her winter clothing, so it's a mash-up of long-sleeve shirts, pants, leggings, jackets, etc. Three years of practice helps.

She can't keep quiet for too long though, so after about five or ten minutes of snooping she'll look up and address him.]

...can I help you?

[Action]

[mindgooshed]

[ ten minutes is more than enough time for him to do a thorough enough check so he smiles politely and steps up to the counter. ]

Yes, actually - I believe we spoke over the journals.

[Action]

[so_shik]

Oh, you're the one with the leather. Nice to meet you...I'm Shiki. [She gestures to the shop.] Up to your standards?

[Action]

[mindgooshed]

[ he smiles pleasantly. ]

Yes, they're very good. Are all of them yours? [ gesturing to all the racks behind him. ]

[Action]

[so_shik]

Yeah, definitely. I've had a few years of practice thanks to this place...I didn't have a lot of designing experience before coming here, but sewing was an old trick by then.

[Action]

[mindgooshed]

[ barnaby nods, then smooths his jacket down onto the counter. ]

Do you think you could alter this for me?
