S T . J A M E S Clothery The outside of the charming building
Located in the bottom-most floor of this clean building is the St. James Clothery, a store that specializes in enchanted items made of textiles of cloth, and sparse leather. Everything for purchase inside the store is enchanted in some way, but the curious thing about the items is that they seem to pick the wearer.
One corner of the downstairs shop is dedicated to being a salon, a place where people can rest comfortably among sofas and genteel furniture and art. Often times when a well-to-do customer enters and wants a custom order from the proprietess of the shop, Genevieve (jon-vee-ev) St. James, they will discuss fashion, style, and necessary enchantments in that corner. There is always hot beverages and snacks available to drink or eat. The salon sitting area. The rest of the shop is also decorated in this Gauldish manner, meant to be tasteful and feminine. When coming upon St. James Clothery, those that are magic sensitive will sense that the building itself seems to be alive with magic, and a strong magic of protection. Once inside the building, there is a feeling of calm and security, as if all those that have walked through the door have walked into their own comfortable homes. The building is enchanted, however, and the doorway of the clothing story has a special handle that leads to Isra, Travere, and Fletcher, so far.
All those who enter will be greeted personally by the owner, an elegant widow by the name of Genevieve (jon-vee-ev) St. James, known to be the half-sister of the Queen of Gauldin and the aunt of Gauldin's crown prince. Although there is an air of distinguished sophistication about her, there is also a sense of true and genuine kindness... as well as a melancholy withing her gaze.
St. James Clothery is not a place to buy enchanted trinkets made of metal or leather, as almost all items within are items that were fatewoven by the enchantress who runs the building.
Location: The St. James Clothery permanent location is in Fletcher, Aozora. Through fateweaving and enchantments, there is a presence of the shop in Isra and in Travere, Gauldin. People who visit the store from these cities are actually stepping into a travel spell. The view outside of the windows is not that of Travere or Isra, but of Fletcher Aozora. Customers who enter from other cities will always exit to their city of origin, unless they approach the proprietess about leaving to other cities. |

Roxanne walked down the street, stopping as she noticed the shop. Peeking inside, she spotted the fine silks and clothing hanging on the racks. Having been something of a tomboy when she was younger, Roxanne had never really gotten into fancy dresses and pretty clothes until recently. Still, she'd grown to appreciate them, even if they weren't the most practical thing for her line of work. After all, when she wasn't working, there was no reason to limit herself to her sturdy monster-slaying and adventuring gear. Perhaps she'd splurge on something nice, as she'd recently completed a job and had a little bit of money to spend. Maybe she'd buy a fur coat, something warm and luxurious. She'd always been slightly jealous of fancy ladies in town with their fur-lined coats in the winter.
Stepping inside, she glanced about. It seemed like a nice shop, and she looked about for the proprietor. Turning back, she was startled to see that the view through the window was not at all the street she'd walked in from. Was it enchanted, perhaps?

The bell above the door of the handsome shop chimed lightly with Roxanne's entrance, and it caught the attention of the elegant and swan-lined owner who sat upon one of the sofa's, her golden head once bent over a piece she was currently sewing. The woman's golden hair was in a simple but sophisticated gathering off her neck, whisps of hair framing her beautiful face as kind -- but very sad -- eyes gazed upon the woman who entered. A smile tipped gently at the corner of Genevieve's lips as she rose, gowned in black velvet in a very sleek design that left her shoulders and collarbones naked. She wore no jewelry but for tear-drop pearls at her ears, and a very thin, delicate chain of gold that made a v down into the hint of cleavage above the bodice of her gown, its pendant hidden beneath the dark material.  " Bonjour," she said in a gentle voice, her Gauldish accent obvious as she came around the small table and approached Roxanne. " I am Genevieve St. James, the owner of this shop. How may I help you?" Indeed, she knew that the customer was from Travere, given the chime of the bell over Roxanne's head. The windows outside of her shop looked out into the frontier beauty of Fletcher, Aozora, where horse and buggies traveled over dirt roads. |

Roxanne smiled at the shopkeeper, glad to hear that she was speaking the common tongue. Most people did around here, thankfully enough. Roxanne's Gauldish wasn't very good, and she didn't like the embarrassment of trying to speak the language.
"Hello there! I'm Roxanne. I'm just browsing around, maybe looking for something for special occasions..."
She glanced around in awe at all the fine linens and silks. When she was a child, she would have scoffed at the mere thought of being in a store like this, but she'd come to appreciate the fact that it was necessary to look nice and fancy sometimes. Even more intriguing than the dresses, however, was the window. She didn't know much about magic, but she'd always found it interesting.
"What's going on with the windows, Ms. St. James? That's not where I walked in from."

"Ah! Enchante," Genevieve said, the soft smile on her mouth reaching the warmth of her blue eyes. For all that the woman seemed to be kind and friendly, she also seemed to be distant, in some way. And of course, a soft air of melancholy seemed to be around her, making her aura just a bit dim.
"I see, well, please feel free to browse about my shop," the blonde woman nodded, gesturing with a graceful hand to the tasteful display of clothes for men, women, and children. She would not find many accessories here, however -- at least, none of those that had to be made by heavy leather, lots of fur, or any metals. The enchantress worked mostly with cloth textiles.
"Hm? Oh, oui, this shop is my home away from home, but I live in Fletcher, Aozora," Genevieve explained as she moved toward the sofa and coffee table. "No need to worry, you will return back to the streets of Travere. Would you like something to eat or drink while you shop, Madamoiselle Roxanne?"

Roxanne nodded, glancing around the shop. To be honest, she didn't have much experience with fancy dresses or anything like that. She certainly wouldn't be finding anything practical for her line of work here, but perhaps that was a good thing. However, she didn't have much time to ponder before Genevieve mentioned where she was from.
"Hmm? What's that, Ma'am? Did you say you're from a town named Fletcher? Where is that? My family name is Fletcher, what a coincidence."
When the woman offered her something to eat or drink, she nodded and smiled. Was this how customers were treated in fancy shops? It was a far cry from the rough and businesslike adventurer's shops she was used to.
"Some tea would be nice, thank you."

"Oh? I believe the town was founded by the Fletcher family," Genevieve said conversationally as she poured Roxanne some tea from a spout that had recently poured a different type of tea into Genevieve's own cup. CLearly, the pot was enchanted in some way, but the exact enchantment had yet to be discovered.
"It is in the country of Aozora," the seamstress further illuminated. "Far located from Isra and... other countries." A small smile.
"Special occasions?" Genevieve asked, her accent making her voice sound artistocratic, but warm. "Have you a beau you are trying to impress, or other colleagues? Are you searching for something to wear to a ball, or something appropriate for a meeting with military officers? Forgive the prying questions, but it will help me figure out what it is you might be searching for..."

Roxanne's eyes widened with surprise. Her family had founded a town? This was news to her. She never had been able to keep track of all her relatives and what they did, there were just so many of them. Roy had always been able to remember all of them, but she'd never gotten the hang of it.
"I never knew that my family founded a town! I wonder who it was...maybe I should visit one of these days. I've never been to Aozora, after all."
When Genevieve asked about the purpose of the dress, Roxanne blushed.
"I haven't got anyone to impress, really. No boyfriend, and if I had colleagues to impress I'd wear something more...practical. I suppose it's for a ball or a fancy event, if I ever go to one. Really, I just want something pretty, fancier than what I usually wear. Just for me, to be honest. I never really got into the whole 'fancy dresses' thing when I was little, so I suppose I'm trying to make up for it now."

"Ah! Well, whenever you would like to visit, it is but a walk through my shop door," Genevieve smiled at Roxanne. "I am not sure that Fletcher has an established hotel yet, but you are more than welcome to stay in my home, should you choose to visit."
But they moved on! To the dress that Roxanne needed. Genevieve smiled at her. "Not to worry, we will find something beautiful for you. Perhaps no beau today, but tomorrow, oui?" The blonde woman smiled, then rose elegantly from the sofa to move deeper into her shop.
"Hm, hm, hm. Special occasions." She paused and looked back at Roxanne. "No princess gown, you would not appreciate the... fluff." She opened a wardrobe and began to sort through beautiful materials and glittering beads that she had hand-threaded into the gowns.
Roxanne would find, however, if she moved deeper into the shop with Genevieve that she was drawn to another wardrobe that was unlocked but not open...

Roxanne smiled at Genevieve's suggestion that she may have a suitor soon. Who knew, perhaps she would. It might be more satisfying than the brief nights in taverns and inns, or the witch in the swamp hut. She'd had briefly had a boyfriend recently, but he'd vanished into the mist like all the others. It probably had something to do with the fact that he wasn't fully anchored to this world, but still.
"You're right, I was never really one for the fluff...maybe something more subdued."
As Genevieve rummaged through the wardrobe, something caught her eye across the shop. She wandered over, noticing that a wardrobe wasn't locked up. Perhaps there was something in here? She glanced back at Genevieve, but she was still rummaging. A sudden wave of curiosity overcame her, and she opened up the wardrobe. Immediately, a particular item caught her eye, standing out from all the others. She pulled it out, revealing a long blue dress with a design of birds and trees.
"Um...Ms. St. James? How about this one here?"

Genevieve looked up from a pale yellow gown she had been looking at to peer over at what Roxanne had found. It put a smile on her mouth. "Ah, oui, I should have known."    She turned, her velvet gown whispering quietly and moved toward Roxanne, taking the beautiful and delicate dress from her. "This is a one of a kind item, of course," the seamstress spoke, her Gauldish accent almost as lovely as the gown she was holding. "The enchantments upon this one are to keep one in the bloom of health. It is nurturing, you see?" She gently caressed the birds and the leaves and the branches that were threaded into the super-fine material. "You will never be poisoned in this gown, and although you may be wounded, you will always return to the health of spring when wear it. It also helps to put a faint blush in your cheeks," Genevieve laughed. |

Roxanne listened closely as Genevieve detailed the enchantments of the dress. It sounded perfect, and looked amazing. For some reason that she couldn't quite explain, Roxanne needed that dress more than she'd ever wanted anything else. What had come over her? Usually she didn't get this excited over any sort of clothes, much less something so impractical. Still, it almost felt as though it had been made for her. It also looked very expensive, but she had a bit of money to burn.
"Yes, that sounds perfect. It's so nice, so silky and smooth...how did you make it? Did you enchant it yourself? I've never had enchanted clothes before, or any sort of enchanted item. Um...how much is it?"
She prayed that it was within her price range. It would kill her to leave without it, and know that it was just sitting in that wardrobe.

Genevieve could see how taken Roxanne was with the gown and smiled gently because of it. They were both touching it, Genevieve holding it gently by its hanger, and Roxanne running her hands over the intricate threading and its light, beaded material.
"Oui, I did enchant it myself. It is my craft. All the items within this shoppe are so," Genevieve explained to Roxanne. Then, she questioned price and Genevieve herself blushed a little. The enchantress was no businesswoman, truly. She wasn't sure how to price the items that she herself made -- made if only to get away from the feelings of loss she still fought on a semi-daily basis.
"Let us try it on first, hm?" She reached out and put a gentle hand at Roxanne's back. There was a small room off the back to be used for changing, and Genevieve helped her over there. "Then, we can discuss price."
Hanging the dress up on the hook in the room, she offered Roxanne another soft, reassuring smile, and swept away to leave Roxanne to the business.

"Try it on? Are you sure?"
Roxanne stood in the changing room, hesitating. She certainly wanted to try it on, but she knew that if she did, there was no way she'd ever be able to leave without it. If anybody had told her ten years ago that she'd want any dress so badly, she would have laughed in their face...and yet, here she was. Deciding that she couldn't wait any longer, she changed hurriedly into the dress, fumbling with the long skirt. She wasn't used to wearing long skirts like this, but once she looked in the mirror, she knew that she had been right. There was no way she'd ever be able to leave without it. Stepping out of the changing room, she walked over to Genevieve, doing her best not to trip.
"It's so nice, Ms. St. James. So soft and light, and the fabric is so smooth..."

Genevieve turned when Roxanne stepped out, and her somber eyes lit up. "Oh, Roxanne, tres magnifique," the Gauldish woman said as she came toward the younger woman.
Indeed, she did walk awkwardly in the gown which was a little distracting from the prettiness of the gown, but Genevieve figured that she'd grow into it. Or, she hoped, anyway. "Come, come," Genevieve said, coming to the white-haired warrioress.
She led her toward a set of three mirrors, wings on either side so that Roxanne could see it from every angle. Gently, Genevieve corrected the way the woman stood. "You are very used to being in armor," Genevieve said with a small laugh as her soft and cool hands lifted her chin a bit, and helped to put an elegant slope to Roxanne's shoulders.

Roxanne nodded, somewhat embarrassed. It was true, she was much more used to armor than pretty dresses. Still, she'd never thought that it would be so tricky to walk like this. How did ladies dance in these, with heels? Still, she figured that it wouldn't take long to get used to the long skirt. She allowed Genevieve to lead her to the mirrors and admired the whole outfit. It was surprising how well it fitted her, almost as though it was made for her. People sometimes told her she was pretty, but this was something else entirely.
"Wow, Ms. St. James...this really is perfect. It fits so well, it's like it was tailored."

Genevieve's smile was soft but short as she stood behind Roxanne and looked over her shoulder at Roxanne's beautiful reflection. "Oui, it was. That is how my magic works. I crafted this dress, knowing that it was meant for one person in all the world, and that one person is you."
She stepped off the dais where Roxanne was admiring her reflection and moved over to her cashier stand, trying to tally up how much it would cost her. Bracing herself, she turned. "Now... the hard part." Genevieve named a sum. It was pricey, yes, but what could be expected from a gown that looked like that and with enchantments such as it had?
It wouldn't bankrupt Roxanne's purse (if indeed she had gold to spend), but it would definitely not be a purchase made lightly.

Roxanne sighed. She hadn't planned to spend so much today, but she couldn't very well leave without it. Not after trying it on, and having it fit her flawlessly. Not after learning that it was made for her, and only her.
"Well...that's not too bad, I suppose. I've seen much more expensive dresses that weren't enchanted. And it really is nice..."
She paid the cost, resigning herself to a few weeks of low-end taverns and inns. Sacrifices had to be made, she supposed. Besides, this was quality. It would last for years and years, much longer than the money would have lasted.
"So...how did you do that? I've never met you. How did you tailor a dress to me, just like that?"

Clothes and Equipment: Genevieve is always clothed handsomely, although not ornately, and uses good fabrics for her well-fit and well-made clothes. She wears a long necklace, the thin golden chain easily visible but the pendant itself is usually tucked beneath her bodice, unseen. In the well-hidden pockets of the full skirts of her gowns, she usually has odds and ends hidden away.
Allegiances: Isra, Aozora, Gauldin

Genevieve took a breath. The questions reminded her of Odette, and she felt a low thrum at her temple of a coming headache, which always happened whenever she thought of Odette, her loss, and the darkness that had followed it. But Genevieve was an adult, and she could soldier through this. She smiled at Roxanne. "I'm not sure if they have a word for my magic yet. I enchant items as I work them, but the enchantments come as I speak and as I... feel. Somehow, my emotions must be tied to the cosmos, because each item here seems to call to those that come through my store. I'm not sure how I knew it, but I knew that I had to create this gown for you, and give it the enchantments it has because you will one day need them." Then, she laughed softly and gestured at Roxanne's beautiful visage as Roxanne handed over the gold for Genevieve to put in the cashier's box. "I feel a little guilty at the price. Perhaps I can throw in some trousers, a blouse and a tunic for you?"  |

Roxanne nodded. She'd never really understood magic, so Genevieve's explanation made as much sense as any other. All she really understood was that the dress really was made for her. When she offered to throw in the other items, however, Roxanne's face lit up.
"Yes, that would be lovely. Thank you very much, you're very kind!"
The addition would make her feel a little less guilty about spending so much money in one day. Besides, that would be a bit more practical, and would see more use.
