[ allumette's still on the moon base, looking a bit different to those who might know her regular dress. then again, if she's sewn something for you, you might know her like this very well. kneeling before her spinning wheel, she gives a little wave and smile to the camera. ]

Fellow transports, hello.

I've heard many a request for winter items as we return to Earth--as I am skilled in weaving and many other types of clothes-making, I offer my services to whomever should need it. We have many materials here. However, if we are short, I will have to ask that you find it.

I can be found on the moon base.

[ surly; ]

To be frank, a desert girl like myself could not survive well in winter. I would freeze to death even with warm clothes.

[phaseshifted]

And what would you want in return for your services, aside from materials?

[aheroipray]

A spot of food, perhaps, but nothing else.

[phaseshifted]

Then I'd like to ask for some clothing. A scarf and gloves would be perfect.

[She'd like to be able to feel her fingers for longer than a minute after she goes outside.]

[aheroipray]

Woolen, I'd imagine.

[phaseshifted]

Yes. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time outside, so that'd be best.

Do you like sandwiches?

[He is whispering into the mic and looking around a little awkwardly.]

Hey, uh, we got this holiday here coming up where you get presents for people, right? And it's kind of a romantic holiday where you gotta think real hard about your present for your like... boyfriend or whatever. And I got one and I'm wondering if I could make a deal with you.

Like, I wanna get him a nice blanket thing or like... a real warm robe? So he can wear it around and be comfortable even though he never takes a break or sits down. Maybe slippers? Ugh, I dunno, I had this great plan for Christmas from way back but it's messed up now cos of Exsilium being screwed up.

[aheroipray]

Oh, is this that 'kris-mahs' holiday I keep hearing so much about?

A robe and slippers would be quite easy to make. I wouldn't even need extra materials. The problem, of course, is measurements.

private video

[ringbeast]

Yeah, it is. Heh. I, uh, wasn't sure you'da heard of it. Um, so can I call you Allu, is that okay? Cos your name's pretty long.

[He shrugs up his shoulders and rubs his hair.]

Um, me and him are about the same size. Shoes and stuff I can measure for ya, slippers don't have to fit perfect anyway.

[aheroipray]

You're free to call me Allu. You've not heard of some of the names I come from, though--some are too long and complicated for myself to pronounce.

[ like merlwyb bloefhiswyn. yeah.

yeah. ]

I see. Then I would be happy to make it.

[ringbeast]

There are some long names where I come from, but I usually try to shorten them too. Ha ha.

[He went to school with a Kadenokouji, but nothing so consonanty as that.]

That'd be so great! I've been kinda freakin' out about it ever since Christmas talk started up. What can I do to pay you back?

[video]

[pauldron]

['sup, Allumete. There's a woman with equally pink hair tossed over one shoulder as she gives the camera a look. Unsure? Very...but also a bit needy. Her uniform's not meant for the cold and what she borrowed wasn't going to last long.]

And you don't want anything but the materials in exchange?

[video]

[aheroipray]

Some food would be nice, but not obligatory. I'm set here on the moon.

[ she gives a firm nod; that's her story and she's sticking to it. ]

[video]

[pauldron]

I'll see what I can find. [Food's easy enough, at least. Better than getting sent looking for some rare random material, anyway.] When would be a good time to bring it?

[video]

[aheroipray]

When I've gathered materials and after I've gotten measurements. Would you prefer to make the trip up here?

[video]

[pauldron]

Yeah. [It's not like it's hard. She could use time out of the cold anyway.] Where in the base are you?

[chosenfake]

[After a moment of consideration, he filters this message to Allu alone.]

Hey, um... Could I ask you a favor? I'll pay you however you want, if you want to do it.

video; filtered

[aheroipray]

Oh, hello, Luke!

[ she greets him cheerfully, a smile on her face. ]

What do you need?

video; filtered

[chosenfake]

[She seems to be feeling better. He's still cautious, but that's Luke's problem, not hers.]

Um... can you make dresses? And coats?

[aheroipray]

[ oh, well, huh. ]

I... can make both. What sort of dress would you like? [ looking at him, tilting her head. an empire waist would look good...? ]

voice

[encharrneered]

Yeah?

And if you aren't coming down here, how exactly do you expect folks to get any kind of material to you at all? 'Cause I was under the impression the base had a whole lot of nothing already up there.

voice

[aheroipray]

I have no inclination on staying down there, but I will visit to deliver wares, accept them and take measurements if need be.

Asides from that, while some resources are depleted, cloth and materials to make cloth are still stocked. I've done a few missions on my own to make sure that was the case.

voice

[encharrneered]

Even then, we don't even know how much fuel that ship they have still has. I'm not so sure they should waste it on clothes deliveries.

voice

[aheroipray]

Waste?

[ excuse you, we can't all have fur ]

I'd hardly say that shuttling resources is a waste. I don't mean to send it one by one.

[reassures]

Would you be able to alter an existing piece of clothing?

[ text ] sorry this is so late!

[aheroipray]

i am capable of doing so
