two grand gestures

What a fine day for announcements! And what luck that it has arrived just in time, for I can hold the news back no longer! It appears that the City has anticipated my arrival and provided me with my shop! Only minor preparations are needed before we will be open once more to the general public

[This is Emma. See Emma see announcement. And look down at her dress. And think "I don't have much money, but the same dress every day is just ridiculous." See Emma leave to go shopping.]

[Emma hesitantly checks the coin in her purse, hoping that she has enough, before entering Ayame's shop. It's such a strange thing, to be concerned about money. She has never had to worry about expense before, and she hopes she can go home soon and never worry about expense again.

She looks around the shop, a little nervous despite herself.]

Hello?

[ There are a few people shuffling around, unpacking things and dusting and cleaning up in general. They aren't wearing uniforms, and they look like incredibly bemused sheep being herded by the most enthusiastic hound ever. Except, at the ring of the door, Ayame breaks from his store clerks and turns to Emma, all smiles. ]

Ah! May I help you?

[Emma smiles.]

You may indeed. I was hoping that I might commission a dress from you. I am afraid I came to the City sans wardrobe.

[She very discretely gestures to her outfit, which is beginning to show the wear of daily washings.]

A client already! Really, this network is very convenient. Did you have any particulars in mind?

(ooc: Sorry, unexpected deadline hit me from behind, I'll backtag from Monday? :/)

How familiar are you with fashions from England? In the 1800's.

[ooc: DENIED! fft no worries. Backtagging = teh awesome.]
