[He looks like he could use a nap, and he sounds a bit, well, almost bored.]

I suppose introductions are in order. My name is Kirian Dawningsun, and I've met a handful of you already.

[He manages half of a smile. Look, he's attempting to be pleasant.]

Due to a more recent message on this network, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my skills as a tailor. I do not work for charity, but I am rather skilled in men's and women's garments.  I'm certain that you'll find any cost will be well worth it.  I can enchant garments, as well, though I'm afraid I do not have the materials to offer more than very simple ones at this time- fire resistance in the cloth, and the like.

I ask only that you contact me to negotiate the terms of the work, and allow me a bit of time to finish the garment. Payment is required in advance, to pay for the materials necessary.

Thank you.

...Fire-resistant cloth? You're speaking my language. How does that work?

[dawningsun]

There are several ways. The easiest, I have found, is to embroider a pattern into the cloth.

[blahblahblah]

That... sounds simple enough. If that's all it takes, why aren't there more things like that?

[ Xerxes Break is a strange, frilly man. And while he's got a lock on strange, the frills are starting to wear. There are tailors in the city, he's discovered, but they charge exorbitant rates. ]

How much?

[dawningsun]

[Frowns at the text typing.]

That entirely depends on what you're looking for. Enchantments and embellishments drive up the price of a garment, you see.

I don't need

[ He stops his dictation and pauses. "Scratch that" he murmurs to his tablet. ]

What enchantments do you offer?

I would like to get some kind of clothing made. Most of what I have is utilitarian in nature, and I would like to get something a bit more decorative. However, my eye for such things is not very good. I would gladly pay for both your crafting skills and your expertise in knowing what works with my particular build and coloring. Please let me know what is best for you, and I will make arrangements. As with such a commission, I understand that payment in advance would be required.

[Meliantha takes a deep breath. Not used to even asking this kind of thing.]

[dawningsun]

I would certainly be able to help with that. Is this for a man or a woman?

I would wish to meet with you, first, to obtain proper measurements and discuss what materials you would prefer.

Re: [text/private]

[demonbloodblade]

A woman. Although some have, sarcastically, asked if I really was one.

And that's fine - I can come to you when you're ready. I understand the need for measurements. Thank you.

You can enchant cloth? How?

what is with you people and text

[dawningsun]

Much the same as one might enchant any other object.

sorry this one's all paranoia

[lexiconning]

But I didn't know you could do that! Other people I mean.
It is [ paause ] like runes? Drawn or sewn.

You know, I often have trouble finding suitable human clothing. For obvious reasons! [She laughs, waving two of her four hands for the camera.]

I can sew a person together good as anything, but when it comes to cloth, I simply can't do it. I may have need for your services.

oh thank the nether it's video

[dawningsun]

Simply let me know if you do. I've never made garments for someone with multiple limbs such as your own, but I'm certain that it won't be too difficult to work my way around.

video forever!!

[xenophiliac]

I would be happy to provide you with instruction. I really am in need of warmer clothing! I'm not used to the temperatures here! Something like a shawl, that would be useful.

And you wouldn't have to worry about things like multiple arm holes! [Another sharp, happy laugh from her.]

[boundbyheart]

Do you know anything about kimonos? [Seeing as she would never wear anything else.

[dawningsun]

I do not, but if you had one that I could look at, I am certain I could work out a pattern for it.

[unholy_rebirth]

[Heyyyy more Hordies yeaaaaa. And a tailor to boot! Just what she was looking for!]

Kirian Dawningsun...well met. My name is Thereth. And I was wondering if you have ever made something for a tauren. [Smiles a little. She's been shopping with Duibhin enough to know that elf-clothes and tauren-clothes are very differently shaped, but might as well ask, right?]

[dawningsun]

I have, on occasion, yes. Though I would still wish to measure you, if you've interest in having me work for you.

Hello, Kirian! My name is Flora. It's nice to meet you. Fire resistance isn't anything to sniff at, so I have to wonder what other kinds of enchantments you could do if you had the right materials?

YAY Video

[dawningsun]

If I had the right materials, I can do a great many things. Largely, enchantments to provide extra vitality, or to augment someone's natural abilities. If I could obtain the proper materials, I would be able to powerfully enchant a weapon, as well.

Though, the raw materials I would need can be obtained mainly by destroying magical objects.

[fintastic]

Hello again! How is your cat doing?

Oh and if you're looking for work, I can think of a few things I would like to have! I can pay whatever you want.

[dawningsun]

[You again. He smirks a bit.]

She is...well enough. I will send her your regards.

What manner of things would you be looking for? Would they need to be enchanted, or are you looking for more mundane articles of clothing?

[bittertears]

Do you happen to work on clothing for those that aren't human as well?

[dawningsun]

Almost primarily, though I suppose that one might argue that elves are human enough for there not to be a great difference.
