Hello.

[ ...

she clears her throat. ]

So this... is akin to a linkshell, is it? In a way. It doesn't seem to be very good at letting the other side speak until I've done, and that could be disastrous. The point being--it seems most can hear me, if they choose.

Like many, I was called here to help fight a war, and so my physical and magical abilities were called on. In light of our depleted and nonexisting stores, I offer my craftmanship and gathering ability, as well. Back on Hydaelyn, I've learned the beginning stages of all kinds of work--weaving light fabric is where I'm most talented at, but I've known to alchemize grimoires and make leather boots.

Gear shouldn't be overlooked when accepting a mission. I've lost a fight or two because my armor was worn and unbefitting my new abilities.

Which brings me to another point!

Should you need something restored, I should be able to do so. I've repaired most of my equipment for a while now--be it weapons or armor.

The hurdle to all of this--should I need to make something new, I would need the materials to do so. I can make cloth, thread, leather and other simplicities on my own, but finding plants and animal hide and ore to do that... that's another road altogether. I'll make whatever you'd like--as long as I'm given the materials to make them with, or at least a location to where I may find them.

[There's a pink (blonde??)-haired woman looking at the feed with keen interest, and she's leaning on her hand with a lopsided smile. If anything can cheer Sheryl up, if only for a bit, is the prospect of new clothes.]

Weaving light fabric, hmm? Now I'll have to add gorgeous cloth to my list of "must have" essentials.

[ responding forces her to switch to video, and allumette's blinking right back at sheryl's visage. it's strange. her hair is a bit like her own--well, really, the opposite. allu has pink hair with blond undertones, while sheryl has blond hair with pink-ish undertones. she shakes out of it after a moment. ]

That is, if you can find the materials. Cotton should not be so hard to find, but I wonder...

[One look at Allumette and Sheryl is instantly reminded of the Meltrandi with brightly colored hair. Heck, she could even pass off as Klan's relative! Still, Sheryl decides not to ask if the other person knows about space aliens and instead flicks a wrist daintily with a decisive nod.]

That's what the missions around here are for! To gather food and clothes, things like that. It shouldn't be too hard to find cotton.

You say that now! [ allumette scratches her cheek. ] You'd think maple branches would be easy to gather, but they're a hassle every time...

Your name?

that's pretty hardcore

[aheroipray]

what is hardcore

[lazyinlove]

like what does it mean?

uh. It means you probably kick ass.

[observesthings]

Umm... what's a linkshell?

[aheroipray]

[ excuse her as she tries to adjust the camera. ]

A linkshell is a small earpiece used to communicate over long distances. Once you're given a linkpearl from someone you would be able to communicate with them, no matter where they are. It was common in Eorzea... decidedly taking the place of these "tablets".

[observesthings]

Oh, we have those in my world! Only we called those 'bluetooth headsets.' I haven't really seen any here, though...

[ And this is why he should have played more video games growing up. ]

[She doesn't really like responding to these things, but... new clothes??? Abomination or not, she's still fashion savvy enough to feel the need to update her wardrobe every once in a while. Seeing as how they're on the moon with no stores in sights, this post is like the most beautiful thing ever.]

Any type of clothes you're especially good at making? Or materials you're good at working with? [Might as well check!!]

[aheroipray]

At this time, I'm only able to work with cotton, leather, hard leather and hempen as base cloth materials. Straw as well, but [ she half-laughs. ] that would be for hats, mainly.

I can give a list of things to acquire should you want something in particular. My crafting log seems to be intact.

[rewarded]

[Oh, man. She'll start by asking about some basic clothing, but heck if she isn't considering adding cute straw hats to her wardrobe sooner or later. You never know when you'll need one.]

Got any lists for dresses in that log of yours, then?

[Tsubomi is in the lab when the feed comes on, her focus on a radish plant for a moment before she lets the leaf in her fingertips go, and turns toward the camera.] Sorry. Hi! I'm Tsubomi Hanasaki. It's nice to meet you! [A quick, polite bow.] I have plenty of fabric, but I'm running out of thread. What should I be trying to collect, for you?

[A pause.] You can make boots? Do you--could you teach me?

video;

[aheroipray]

[ ah, a bow? she gives a little curtsy before continuing. ]

Cotton thread, cotton bolls. Little plants with puffy white fibers growing at the top. You've quite a collection of plants as it is, I'm sure you're familiar with it.

[ boots? she tilts her head, flustering, thinking of redolent rose, her guildmaster. ]

I-I... are you sure about that?

[buttpunch]

Ah, I wasn't sure if there was something different... from where you're from. I know what cotton looks like, certainly!

[She nods, eagerly.] I have experience with clothing, but footwear... If you can teach me, I'd love to learn!

[crocodilesmiles]

Do you think you'd be able to work with something preexisting to make it, I don't know, better adapted for heavy wear and tear?

[aheroipray]

[ hmm. she has to think about this. ]

Couldn't be too hard to do so. Depending on the garment, adding hard leather or metal should be easy to do, but I've never done it before. I'd be happy to experiment to see how it goes, however.

[crocodilesmiles]

I was thinking more of a skin tight suit... but I don't know if there's anything with it that would be easier to do. Hmm... though if it could be warmer, or just harder to tear, that would be nice.

[justgo]

That's a fair give and take.

Still, you really wouldn't mind being directed to looking for the material yourself? That kinda thing could be shady.

[aheroipray]

Shady? In what way?

[justgo]

I won't get into details but if someone doesn't like you, they could plan some kinda trap for you. [Pause as she shakes her head.]

Just be a little careful with your generosity, alright?

Can you make anything stab proof?

[aheroipray]

metal armor is for the most part stab proof
unless you would mean modifying a garment
that would be harder

[variates]

metal armour isn't exactly inconspicuous.

...harder, but still possible?
