CLOSED AND EMPTY · CUSTOM DESIGN, TAILORING & ALTERATIONS ·  SOON TO BE DECORATED WITH PAPER HEARTS AND
LOVERS DAY DOILIES, WITH FRESH PINK AND WHITE
ROSE ARRANGEMENTS.
This quaint little shop in the Free City does not seem very different than many of the others. The gold lettering on the glass of the door seems elegant and hand painted, the blushing pink roses to either side very manicured in their pots. In one window, a handsome tailored outfit for a gentleman is paired with a lovely gown for a woman. In the other window, a display of hats, from pretty bonnets, to wide starlet brims, to masculine dusters.
Yes, this shop is well kept, but it is no different than anything you have seen before. Yet, you feel compelled to go inside. A little bell chimes above your head, and the inside of the shop seems just as clean and orderly as its outside. There is a small fireplace decorated with a lovely vase of fresh flowers, and a sofa with two chairs to either side and a coffee table, a tea set upon it. Several gowns, beautiful and well made are on headless dummies, and an arrangement of gloves and hats are laid out on a table.
Everything seems perfectly ordinary, but one piece of clothing... perhaps its a dress, perhaps its a hat, perhaps its a coat, seem to call to you. You feel as if your life just might change if you only make that one purchase.
And yes, if you are magic sensitive, it seems to be woven into the clothing items, but not to trick. No, no, there is always something in St. James Boutique that has been waiting for just the right owner. |

Through the charming box windows of the store, the pretty figure of Genevieve could be easily seen. In a gown of rich green velvet and trimmed with a snowfall of ivory lace at her elbows and around the edge of her square necked gown, she was a moving advertisement for her handsome creations.
She stood on a step stool and was reaching her graceful arms overhead, pinning boughs of holly around the upper edge of one window. Boxes behind her were open with more Yuletide decorations. It seemed the charming Widow St. James was giving her pretty shop a more festive air for the coming season.
Locals passed by on the street outside and paused to wave to her, happy smiles on their faces when she would halt her work to wave back at them. Yes, Mrs. St. James was new to Isra City, but already the locals had accepted her as one of their own without any trouble or questions.

Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden strolled in the tailors shop smiling happily, he had a good or at the least free dinner last night. He got some money and managed to clean himself up and get a haircut. He had even got his clothes cleaned, so all in all he looked more like a young adventurer then a homeless vagrant now. He still had one issue though he had torn his cloak to pieces and he needed to get it fixed. He looks around for the shop keeper and when he spots her he smiles and says.
"Hello do you do repairs?"
Holds out the tattered remains of his cloak.
"Because I would like to get this fixed."

"Bonjour," greeted the blonde from her place on the small step-ladder. She shot him a lovely smile, one dimple winking in her cheek. "Un moment," she said and tacked the holly in place.
She stepped down to the floor and wiped her hands on a small but clea apron that was tied at her svelte waist, then made her way over to the handsome man in her shop.
"Escuse moi," she said with a small laugh, gesturing to the small bit of Yuletide untidyness. "My daughter was supposed to help me, but I do not know where she has run off to!" Her French accent was charming, lending to the friendly air about Mrs. St. James.
In fact, it might even seem like Alden was in an even better mood now that he was in her presence. It would be so easy to trust Mrs. St. James with anything.
"But, oui, I do all manner of repair. Do you, per'aps, have the item in question with you, non?" She looked at him with a clear and open blue gaze, with her full attention on him.

Wrath bubbles to the surface at the sound of Genevieve's voice, luckily he was able to stop any sign of the rage he was feeling from showing on his face. It was stupid just because she was speaking with the same accent as Pride did not mean he should hold it against her. Still the young man felt slightly uncomfortable. None of this shows on his face though and his bright smile remains firmly and place. His voice takes on a joking tone as he shakes the tattered cloak he was already holding.
"Uh I guess it is a little far gone, but this is it. I was hoping you could patch it or something. I had to tear it up to make bandages."

"Oh, I see," she said and she took the cloak from him, holding it up to see just how threadbare and tattered it was. Of course, she had no idea about any Deadly Sin inside Alden, but the persuasive air about Genevieve was still there, warmly coaxing Alden to relax and trust in her presence.
"Hm. This is not so good. I will check to see if I have the appropriate material to replace what was lost. Un moment," she said with a smile, and she walked away from him to the back room.
Left alone in the shop, he would be able to see all the clothing wares she had available, artfully arranged, while on one small table she had beautiful leatherbound books of designs, should someone want something custom made.
On the far wall, however, were a pair of boots, plain, but for small and subtle detailing in black silk thread around the edges, giving them an only slightly elegant look, detracting not-at-all from their masculine form. These boots, though plain, seemed to call to Alden.
You have a long journey ahead of you, they seemed to say, and we are the boots you need for such an adventure.

Left alone in the shop Alden begins to poke around curiously everything in the shop carries the tell tale glow of residual magic. In particular he can sense a strange calling coming from a pair of boots. He walks over to the boots and feels a strange compulsion to purchase them, since he is aware of what is happening he is able to resist it but he is now curious. If the magic could make him want to but something why didn't it make him want to buy everything in the shop? That would be better for business right? He speaks up loud enough to be heard in the back.
"Excuse my lady... oh sorry I didn't ask your name. Mine is Alden if you were curious by the way. Anyway question, why do I want to buy these boots and only these boots? Also what is your name?"

"Oh!" He could hear her voice from the back of the shop, and she came through the curtained doorway, carrying a bolt of dark fabric. She set it down on a wide table and lifted a hand to tuck a curl of golden hair behind her ear, a ring on her wedding finger faintly gleaming.
"I am Genevieve St. James," she introduced herself, and walked the distance to him to shake his hand, that warm smile still on her face, happiness in her eyes.
She then looked at the boots. "Mas oui! I was wondering when they would choose an owner." She laughed and turned to him. "The items in this store are enchanted," she explained. "They will work adequately for most, but they are truly fated to one person. Like mmm... a soulmate, non?"
She bent over to take the boots off the shelf and hold them. "When I was making these boots, oh, mm, many years ago, I imagined that they would belong to un homme that would travel far and wide, and create ah, hm, how to put it. He would be a trailblazer? A man that would create the roads while others walk in his footsteps."
It didn't explain the enchantment, or really how her powers worked or what she was, but it at least explained how the spell came to be, and why it spoke to him.

The twins have found their dresses to have grown rather tattered, and wander into the shop. They're perfectly identical in dress, gait, and manner. Strangely enough, they both sport a pair of fluffy white wings on their backs, like little angels. They stare unnervingly at Alden and Genevieve.
Wasn't that man at the midnight sun?
I guess. I don't remember.
Yes, he was. What a coincidence.
Oh, there's the shopkeeper.
She looks friendly.
Yes, maybe she'll have some clothes in our size.
Mr. Reese gave us some money. I hope it's enough.
They walk up to the shop owner and stare at her quietly, waiting for her to finish with Alden. When she turns to them, they speak in perfect synchronized chorus.
"Do you have any clothes in our size? They'd need to be modified. Thank you."

Alden stares at the women blankly her answer hand't really answered anything. Well other than the fact he now knows she is the one making all the magic stuff. He tried to decide if this concerned him or not, but like with most things he found it impossible to actually be worried the personality he had now would not allow for it. Instead he smiles at the woman again and says simply.
"That's interesting but I don't think I have enough money for magic boots, I would imagine they are pretty expensive. Also will you be able to save my cloak?"
When the twins he had seen last knight at the Midnight Sun enter Alden eyes them curiously. Like everyone with the sun there was traces of magic on them though theirs was odd very faint almost not there. They also kept talking at the same time which was kind of interesting, he wondered how they pulled that off. He gives them a friendly nod and a grin, and indicates they should ask their question no need to worry about him.

"How sad," she said with a small frown, placing the boots back on their low shelf. "I am not sure that they will ever find another, but they will be here if you change your mind."
It was true that everything in the store was magic, but Genevieve could not create something with out it. Alden did not seem interested in the boots beyond the inquiry of how, and Genevieve was not a good saleswoman. The merchandise usually literally sold itself.
"Ah, the cloak! Oui, yes, I can fix it." She turned to show him the material she had chosen to repair the cloak when the door chimed and two young girls entered the shop.
"Bonjour," Genevieve called to them, and for a moment, she was reminded of Odette. "Yes, I am sure I have something for the both of you, but please wait a moment."
She turned back to Alden and gestured that he come closer to the pretty seamstress. "Much of the cloak will have to be remade, but I can use the material of your old cloak for lining, which will cut down the expense considerably. Is there a length you prefer?"
She glanced at the children, and with Alden so near, perhaps he sensed that she seemed... uncomfortable about the girls. How strange! Wasn't she a mother herself?

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden smiles on hearing his cloak can be salvaged, he does picks up that she is tense at seeing the twins though can't fathom why they seemed nice enough. Probably dangerous, but most people he had met in Isra seemed to be dangerous in one way or another. She seemed a bit sad that he wasn't going to take the boots which he felt a little bad about. The simple reality was though he didn't have a whole lot of money... Or well maybe he did he had about 100 of the gold coins now but he still had no idea what they were worth. Still he smiles at Genevieve and says happily.
"That's great news! How long will it take to fix? Oh and like to about my knees is preferable any longer and it would get in the way."

The twins wait patiently, standing off to one side and looking for all the world like oversized dolls.
She makes pretty clothes.
Yes, I hope she sells matched pairs.

"Would tomorrow be too late?" She asked him, reaching out to take his arm and guide him towards the door. She named a reasonable sum for a price, then took the warm touch of her hand from him as she turned with a smile to the girls.
"Hello, I am Mrs. St. James," she introduced herself, pushing her uncomfortable feelings aside. A part of her knew that it was because they reminded her of Odette. "What are your names?"

"Tomorrow's fine, I guess I was going to go to Stonewall keep soon but I have some things I can do in Isra probably."
He allows himself to be lead to the door though he does not allow himself to be touched. He simply starts moving in the direction she wanted him to move before she touched him. It is an unconscious move on his part years of training taking hold. Once outside Alden wonders into the city, despite being much cleaner he still had a lot of problems. Like figuring out where he was going to sleep, but hey at least he would get his cloak back soon that was nice.

The twins smile up at her.
"I'm Lorelei."
"I'm Lucia."
Not even the most careful observer would be able to tell the two of them apart. After introducing themselves, they speak in chorus once more.
"Do you have any clothes in our size? In matched pairs? And would you be able to put holes in them for our wings?"
They stare at her, unblinking.

Genevieve waved good-bye to Alden, and then fixed her attention on the girls, asking their names. She smiled and nodded her head as they introduced themselves.
"Tres belle," Genevieve said, the aura about Genevieve warm and inviting, coaxing the twin girls to relax and trust in her. "What lovely names for lovely young ladies, hm?"
They spoke of their needs, and Genevieve nodded her pretty blonde head, loose curls around her face swaying with the gesture. Her own golden hair was up in a simple yet elegant chignon, pinned with a mother-of-pearl comb. Widow St. James smile was very simple, but almost timeless, lending her as more of a wholesome attractiveness than an exotic or show-stopping one.
"Yes, of course. My daughter is about your size, and the holes at the back of the dress will not be a problem. Do you have a preference in color?" She asked, as she guided them to a small white boudoir. It's dainty doors were open, scarfs arranged to be hung on the inside of its open doors, and an array of delicate, small-sized dresses hung inside.

The twins follow her, their steps perfectly in sync.
Color?
That white one over here looks nice.
We tried white, remember? Stains too easily.
Oh yeah. Black, then.
Black is boring. We got black clothes last time.
It blends in in the dark, though.
How about dark red? That'll blend in and hide bloodstains.
Alright. Dark red.
They look up at the kindly shopkeeper, smiling politely.
"Do you have anything in dark red? Black is fine too, if you don't have that."

"Dark Red?" Genevieve repeated, although she didn't miss a step as she led them to the boudoir. "That would be a beautiful color on you two." She looked at them once more, then nodded her head. "Oui, it would compliment the unique color of your hair." She stepped forward, her back to the girls as she pushed through the dresses hanging there and brought out a dress. It was short, falling to just below their knees, but it was dark red in color. The bodice was decorated with black, grey and white threading, and a black apron accompanied the dress, tied around the waist with a bow to the side. When Genevieve had been creating the dress, and had seen how it was taking form under her hands, she was sure that it was a gown fit for a mischievous miscreant, a girl child that would truly be up to no good, but who would look too charming in this gown. In short, it would be a gown for a lovely young girl that could get away with, well, murder. She had debated on even putting the gown out for sale, given her thoughts and the words she had spoken while she had made it. Ultimately, she had decided that it wasn't up to her to decide what should and shouldn't be up for sale. St. James Boutique was a unique location where magical items were made for someone. Whether that someone was twelve or fifty, alive now, or yet to be born, a man or a woman or beast, Genevieve's creations were woven into their fate and meant for one special person. "Will this do?" Genevieve asked. The magic enchantment of the gown would call to both girls, a dress that was perfect for both. And yet, only one would be able to wear the dress.  |

The twins admire the dress.
It's very nice.
Very nice? It's perfect.
The right color, loose enough to move around, looks super innocent and sweet...
I love it.
But...there's only one.
This is a clothing shop. I'm sure there's a second.
Looking up at the shopkeeper, the twins chorus:
"It's just what we were looking for. Is there another one just like it? We'd like a pair."
