[The camera is not on Rhus, but instead on the two mannequins before him, dressed up in fancy garb. And that's what he'll be keeping the device's camera on for the rest of the video, with a bit of wobble here and there as he moves. Or breathes.]

The Ruby Bazaar is open now. 'Tis a tailoring store within the Tyr district-- [A pause, then a grumble. Despite sounding tired, he still has enough vitality in him to grumble low in his throat. Clearly someone doesn't know how to advertise. But he's trying.]

If you need clothing, or any kind of textile product like bedding and furnishings just come by. The building is of red brick, with a sign-- you cant miss it. These two coats on the mannequins will be gone by the end of this month, I shall be offering them off to Skadi and the other gods. But they are not cheap, and they certainly will not be available forever.

Lastly... if anyone knows how to animate objects, I've a fair number of questions for you.

[ ooc: come to the ruby bazaar! feel free to have your character place orders or requests here, or on the ooc page itself. any ic questions can also be placed in this post. ]

what do you take as payment.

[It's Jet's understanding that there's no money and no real economy here, so...is it debt? Favors? Bartering? Spill.]

good to know.
pricing?

[redarrowqueen]

Need anyone for ladies wear?

[verstoned]

Mmmn. What, a partner in business, or just someone to consult?

[prodigalmess]

Hey, do you do menswear at all? I've been talking with Thea about making some suits, but I'd potentially be interested in seeing what you have too.

[verstoned]

That is menswear. It's for everyone, despite the mannequins having female proportions.

[prodigalmess]

Oh. [ That is... not his taste at all. Too many ruffles and the high collar would drive him insane. ] Do you have anything more... traditional? Maybe that's not the right word, because what's traditional to you may not be traditional to me. I'm from Earth, New York Ciy, 2019.

[verstoned]

I have never heard of that world, so no, I haven't the foggiest what you would call traditional. [His tone is so, so dry.]

And this is tailoring, not a store with ready-made items save for what's on the mannequins. [Hint hint. He hopes he doesn't have to clarify any more.]

[prodigalmess]

Right. [ He gets the picture. ] Well, I know who to come to if I need tailoring. Thea's from my world, so she's more familiar with the type of clothing I'm used to wearing.

How are you at working with leather and fur?

[Very important for the fashionable Viking going about town to know.]

Video

[verstoned]

Take a look at the mannequins again. [Because the collars? That's fur. Dyed, but fur.]

[ragnarsson]

[He squints and looks closer when the camera focuses back on the mannequins. Ah, so they do have fur on them.]

Hmmm, I might have to you create something for me. I could use a nice fur coat.

[verstoned]

Well, you shall have to come in, and I shall tell you my price.

[ragnarsson]

Expect me there shortly then. I might as well take advantage of your skills.

[Also, if he thinks the price is too high, he might just compel Rhus into giving him the item for free. There were times having the power to convince anyone to do what he asked came in great handy.]

[Those jackets are far too elaborate for John himself, but he knows good structuring when he sees it.]

Do you work a commission, sir?

[Asks the fancy Olde Timey gentleman.]

video;

[verstoned]

Aye. That's the entire point of the shop. I've nothing ready-made. I tailor.

Have you something you need?

[iustise]

[Oh thank god. Finally someone who speaks John's language as far as clothes are concerned.]

I do, rather, yes. Indeed they are creature comforts, but I do enjoy being able to dress the way I did at home. Perhaps I might be able to commission you for a few more choices in attire?

[Something like these maybe? John is wearing an example of such craftsmanship even now.]

[verstoned]

If you come in, we can talk in more detail.

[yiling_laozu]

do you have any sheer, red silks?

video

[verstoned]

Aye. [Rhus turns his camera from the finished coats to a number of fabrics on the racks. Some yellow, some almost gold, but definitely many reds. More reds than other colours.

Someone clearly has a favourite.]

video

[yiling_laozu]

[Wei Wuxian grins.]

Master Bashe is a man of excellent taste. Can I commission something like this in that sheer, red silk?

[He steps back from the camera, showing the shape of his inner robes. If Lan Wangji knew, it would be a scandal, but Wei Wuxian doesn't mean to tell him.]

video

[verstoned]

[Oh, if he only knew what the Miqo'te is wearing behind the camera, it would be even more of a scandal.]

Ah, I'm familiar with that style of clothing. If you'll come to the shop, I shall be able to take your measurements and make it fit properly.
