Commissions: Open (Netbook)

[neckromancy]

Alright, given the state of how things have transpired rather recently enough, I suppose it wouldn't hurt for me to do my part in bringing back a bit of levity.

No offense, darlings, but quite a few of you have been looking a bit... Questionably rough in not the most flattering of ways. Therefore, out of the kindness of my heart, I come to you all with an offer; I happen to be quite well versed in the ways of a couturier, and have found myself with a bit too much free time in the rare moments the world is not going to pure and utter shit around here.

Should you find yourself wanting fresh, less worn clothing, I have some materials I wouldn't mind putting to use. Feel free to jot down such requests here, or draw out a design for me to glance over. Applications will be completed from the order of what I find most interesting to work on to the ones I find the most boring, so do try to have at least a little creativity concerning said designs.

And, of course, should you find yourself in need of repairs rather than a new wardrobe, I am quite capable of handling that as well. Payment in the form of valuables is preferred, although I am willing to accept the promise of a favor or two should you find your pockets too empty to meet such requirements.

I expect that your insults to the Grove and its collective fashion sense will either generate enough of an enraged stir to get you the business you need, or put them off of you entirely.

I truly look forward to seeing what will happen.

[neckromancy]

Oh, the intent was not quite to insult, I'm merely stating facts. I don't think anyone present has come out the other side of hoofing it in the wilds this month without several questionable stains or tears, and that's without taking into account all the battle wear from the abominations that unleashed themselves upon us with reckless abandon.

My point here being, people tend to feel better when they retain some manner of control of their overall appearance. It won't fix everything, of course, but it's something.

[unheiring]

That makes far more sense, though there is something to be said for your tonal implications. Nevertheless, I'm not one to harp on social faux pas. Not when I am far more interested in what you have to offer. It would not do me particularly well to berate you when I may or may not have requests.

[neckromancy]

I wouldn't quite consider it a faux pas personally; my flippant abrasiveness tends to add to my overall charm. It's how I show affection, or so I've been told.

I am, however, quite happy to put a pin on said banter for the time being in the interest of hearing what you may - or may not - have in mind.

[unheiring]

Oh, I'm quite sure of that.

In any case. Would you be able to craft something that both looks adequately presentable whilst also flattening the bust?

[neckromancy]

Hm... Possibly, yes. Are you looking for suitable outerwear? Or would you prefer something more in the vein of undergarments?

[unheiring]

I have... adequate undergarments. But as you can imagine there are limitations and discomforts. Outerwear that could at least veil such things a bit better would be preferable.

[neckromancy]

In that case, it should be quite easily doable, yes. The materials I have on hand are better suited for such things, so I shouldn't need to do much when it comes to procuring more. I'd imagine you'd prefer a variety rather than just the single article, yes? A batch of a few pieces at once wouldn't be terribly difficult to breeze through, and I'd be able to better equip you for more than just one or two situations.

Do you have a preferred style of choice when it comes to your overall wardrobe?

[unheiring]

Whatever you have the time for. If they are beating your doors down desperate for your creations, then I won't ask for more than one or two. Should you have time for more, however, you will be adequately compensated. I assume the currency of the realm should suffice?

As for my personal tastes... perhaps we can split it down the middle. In my off-time, I do prefer clothes of a more... refined palette. However. I do need attire that suits training, or at least won't be ruined by any swordplay.

[neckromancy]

That will do just fine, darling. We can discuss the intricacies of remuneration once I have the necessary patterns in line. For now, I think this serves rather well enough as a recording that there remain goods to be paid for.

Naturally, as the two of us seem to be... Kindred spirits when it comes to said refined taste in clothing, I can also guarantee any final product will certainly be beyond your wildest desires and expectations. On that, you have my word. Durability is also rather high on my list of priorities, given the lengths I have had to go to in order to keep my own attire in working order for as long as it has been, so that is also not something I expect you need to worry about.

[unheiring]

I appreciate your... understanding in this matter. Both matters, truly — that of style and that of expectations. With that in mind, I place full trust in your skills.

I look forward to seeing what you craft.
