Genevieve's smile was gentle, unsurprised that these girls liked this gown. Odette would have liked it as well.
"I am so pleased you like it," Genevieve spoke.
She hesitated when the girls seemed to ask for a second one. She honestly knew it was coming, given that they were dressed identically now, but the thought of creating two dresses just like this one... it made Genevieve feel reluctant.
Still, if these girls were anything like Odette, Genevieve would have to make the second dress.
Or die.
"I can create another just like it, oui," the blonde widow spoke, nodding her head as she moved towards the long work table at the back of this front room, where Alden's bolt of dark fabric was still laid out on the table. "It may take me two days, however, if I am to get all of the... details... just right."
Genevieve glanced at the girls to see how they would react to the news.

Physical Description: Lorelei and Lucia are twins, with pink hair. They have sweet, innocent faces and identical clothing. Nobody could ever tell them apart, except for their parents. But they're long gone. They have a placid expression all the time, no matter what.
Clothes and Equipment: Lorelei and Lucia wear a selection of cute dresses and outdoor clothing, always completely identical. They both also carry matching knives. How cute. They also wear identical backpacks. Two living wooden mannequins follow them, dressed up exactly like them. They have sculpted and painted faces to look like copies of the twins. The twins also have a pet mockingbird named Eclair.

Two days?
That should be fine. Especially if it's just like the other one.
Oh boy, I can't wait.
The twins look up at her, smiling sweetly.
"Two days will be fine, as long as they're exactly identical. Down to the thread. How much will it be for the both of them?"
It certainly is pretty.
Yes, I hope the other one is just as good.

"Of course, of course! Down to the thread, oui, I assure you."
She opened up a small drawer where there was a pin cushion, some small scissors, a couple of a tumbles of thread, and a tailor's ruler, which she promptly took out and unrolled.
She named a figure for the dresses, which was a little on the pricey side. Not enough to insult, but it was enough that someone might think twice about spending that kind of money. The figure encompassed not just the dress she was going to sell them, but the second dress that she was going to make exactly identical, down to the thread, and the alterations to both to go with it.

The twins nod, counting out their coins.
That's not too bad.
No, not at all. Mr. Reese gave us enough.
He said it was our salary.
For what?
I dunno. Maybe for helping Mr. Hasdrubal.
They had over the cash, smiling brightly in anticipation.
"We'll be back in two days, Ms. St. James."
They walk out of the shop.

Genevieve took the coins from the girls and deposited them in a lock box.
"Yes, I will see you, then," she smiled at the small girls who spoke in unison. They misprounced her title as she had introduced herself as Mrs, but Genevieve was not about to correct them for the small mistake.
As soon as they were gone, she put a hand to her stomach to steady her nerves.
Shaking her head, she went back to decorating her store with boughs of holly, candles, pinecones, and yuletide figurines.
And just above the door, she hung a bough of mistletoe. A smile turned her lips as she stepped down and surveyed her shop, then got to tidying up. The sun would be setting soon, and Genevieve locked up for the night.

The store opened on time as it did every time, and just as usual, Genevieve's daughter, Odette, was no where to be seen. Genevieve herself looked as pretty as a picture in a dark navy gown, trimmed with paler blue. It's bodice was tight to her torso, accentuating her tiny waist and her full breasts, the sleeves ending at her elbows where pale blue lace flowed. Her golden hair was wrapped up in an elegant chignon, small diamond duds at each ear. The store was relatively busy, with people -- mostly women -- chiming her bell as they came inside. They complimented her on her festive decorations, and she served hot chocolate or cider from the tea set on the tray by the sofa, yuletide cookies near it. She had sold three dresses, a purse, a cloak, four pairs of gloves, two hats, and a pair of boots, all before noon, and had taken commissions on at least four items, penciling in their appointments for taking measurements into the little book she slid back into the pocket of her flowing skirts. Genevieve hummed a Yuletide carol to herself as she took out Alden's new cloak and put it on a dummy to give it a once-over. The old grey of his cloak had been laundered and used as a trimming on the inside, but the outside was with a dark charcoal grey color, trimmed in neat but elegant dark green thread around its edges. The cape had a detachable hood, just in case he'd need that, and as she'd made it with a careful touch, she had spoken to the fabric of how it would have to last for many, many long journeys. It would have to keep its wearer warm and cozy, no matter the weather, no matter the toil, and she mentioned how she hoped this cloak wouldn't tear as easy as others had in the past. The material had seemed to respond to her as Genevieve had spoken life into the garment, and she smiled to herself as she ran her hand over the material. Hopefully, Alden would be pleased whenever he showed up, and with that thought in mind, she went to find a bag and tissue paper to package the item as she did all clothing items that left the store.  |

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 wanders into the shop at around noon, he looks a little more rumpled and disheveled than he did yesterday. In fact he looked like someone who slept in his clothing last night, mostly because he had on the roof of a building. Still his grin was undiminished and he didn't seem to be sore or even mildly put off by it. He wait until Genevieve is finished before he says chipper as always.
"Hello Genevieve! Is my cloak ready."
As he says this he opens his honey nut pouch and tosses a few in his mouth to snack on.

Unaware that it was she that had forced Alden to remain one more night in Isra, and in fact one more night homeless, she looked up and smiled as he entered.
"Bonjour!" she said brightly to him. She had a very faint hue of lavender beneath her eyes, as if she didn't have a good sleep, either, but her bonnie blue eyes were bright and her cheer infectious.
"Oui, here it is," she said and stood back away from it. "Come, come, look at it. Inspect!"

Alden picks up the cloak and looks at it with a clueless grin he doesn't really know if she did a good job. The cloak appeared completely fixed and wearable which was all that really counted in his books, though he was a little disconcerted to see it had magical residue on it now. Still it was what he had asked for and that made him happy so he handed over some coins about half of what he had on him.
"Looks great! Thank you very much."
He picks up the cloak and then throws it around his shoulders happy to have it back.

She accepted the coins and she glanced at the boots in the corner, the boots that were calling to Alden, that wanted to be worn by him.
"Wait!" Genevieve called, hopefully stopping him before he went through the door.
She turned and grabbed the boots, and then turned to him. Ironically enough-- or perhaps not very ironic at all -- the cloak and the boots seemed to be a matching set.
"Please, take these. It is a gift, non? For Yuletide. I insist. You should not be without these."
The cloak was charmed to always remain warm and dry, no matter the elements. It would not break, it would not tear, and it would last Alden for as long as he would need it. The cloak would also protect Alden from blunt trauma, including protecting him from great falls or terrible blows.
The boots were charmed to help him travel easier. The ground would not be hard for him to traverse, and, in fact, he'd find that if he had to travel a great distance, the boots would... help him travel there. Like seven league boots. Of course, it would have to be a great need and a great want for him, but they would work. And like the cloak, they would always be warm and comfortable, no matter the weather or terrain.

Alden looks at Genevieve massively confused by the gesture. He had never been given a gift before, he had never been introduced the concept before. He has no idea what to say or do he takes the boots because she more or less shoved them into his hands but he doesn't move. Alden stares at Genevieve mouth slightly open for a long moment and finally he says.
"Uhhhh What? Wait... thank you? No wait what? Why are you you handing me the boots? I only like 50 more golden coins, that not enough for the boots right?"

"Sh!" Genevieve said and stepped closer, putting a finger to his lips, forgetting his reaction yesterday when he had made sure he wasn't touched.
She glanced over her shoulder at the back door, as if expecting someone to come out. She turned back to Alden and lowered her hands.
"It is a gift," Genevieve said in a quiet voice. "These boots were made for you. Only you will be able to use them as you are able." She pushed his fingers so they curled around the coins in his hands.
"Keep your coins, and per'aps think of me fondly, non?"

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 stares at the women for another long moment he even forgets to move out of the way when she tries to touch him. Finally he simply says his voice filled with genuine gratitude.
"Thank you... No ones ever given me a gift before... Just thank you."
There actually seems to be tears forming in his eyes, but he doesn't stay long enough for it be confirmed. He takes the cloak and the boots and walks out.

She blinks, a little taken aback that he was surprised that she'd give him a gift... and she herself shocked that no one had even shown him that small act of kindness before.
"You're welcome," Genevieve said, and gave him a small wave as he left the shop.
She put a hand to her heart and then closed her eyes and took a breath. Then, clearing her throat and smoothing a hand over her hair, she went to put the money in the till and make sure that the hot chocolate and cookies were still hot.

[Two days later]
The twins walk in, smiling in anticipation.
We're getting the dresses today!
I can't wait.
Neither can I. I can hardly believe it's only been two days.
It's felt like two months.
Well, we're getting them now.
They wave at Genevieve.
"Hello, Ms. Genevieve. We're here to pick up the dresses."

The following day, Genevieve seems just a little more tired than she had been two days before. The girls come into the store, speaking in that synced way of theirs, and Genevieve almost feels sick to know that she had done just as was asked of her; she created an identical of the dress.
And yet, even knowing that she'd spoken to it the way she'd spoken to the first, a bit of Genevieve's reluctance was woven into the dress. Whichever twin wore it would be more reluctant to cause harm than the other, although it would not be by much and it would not be a perceptible difference were they sensing magic.
"Two dresses, just as ordered, with slits in the back for your wings," Genevieve smiled at them. She already had the dresses prettily arranged and folded into her neat boxes, tissue paper around them as if they were gifts. She lifted the lids so that they could see.
The dresses were enchanted to cause the person wearing them to be even more mischievous, and even more malevolent, than the wearer intended to be. Their ability to be stealthy and to be tricky would be heightened, granting them almost an unfair advantage over people that did not have a strong will. And on top of it all, these gowns were almost hypnotic and charming, persuading those who looked upon the wearers to think of them as completely innocent, even if they were caught red-handed.
It would take someone of insanely strong will to fight the persuasion of the gowns.

The twins take the gowns, almost giddy with glee. This is very unlike them indeed.
"Thank you, Ms. Genevieve!"
They're perfect.
I can't wait to try them on.
Neither can I.
Let's go back to the Sun.
Yes, let's.
The twins leave, grinning with satisfaction and the anticipation of trying on the dresses.

One day, the gloomy vampire wanders around the free city some more to discover more things. As usual she had her parasol to protect her from the sun. She came across the St. James Boutique, it looked like somewhere clothes could be bought. Hmm, maybe I could use another outfit
DING-A-LING
"Hello?" Skarlet closed her parasol and entered, setting it aside as she looked around.

The black-haired, blue-eyed foreigner had managed to avoid bumping into anyone as she was furiously inscribing runes into her notebook. Everything from descriptions of people to the dimensions of the buildings was being magically inscribed, her bright, blue, almost supernaturally glowing eyes gleaming at her own meticulousness. She could do this for hours, but alas she needed to accomplish some social interaction, as her tribe so often prescribed to her.
"Ok, clearly I'm not nervous. Why should I be nervous after all I'm in perfect health the sun is shining there's no giant red-headed humanoid attacking our allies and all is right with the world..." Intaja blinked and looked up and down at the boutique... slowly. She then looked at her own rags and what few coins she had traded her precious stones for. She assumed it was substantial, since the Expanse didn't use coins. She took a deep breath and walked into the store, each step measured.
"Umm, hello, friend!" She seemed much happier than she should have been and was politely waving. "I um, wish to use this facility to acquire new garments of some kind and would like your assistance!" She didn't cease to politely wave. She also turned to Skarlet. "Hello fellow customer. Are you using this facility as well?" She did not stop politely waving.

The front of the shop was all very artfully arranged, darling provincial furniture displaying handsomely made clothes while simple chandeliers above provided light, decorated with holly. Towards of the back of the store was a small counter, a long table, and a small dais with a mirror near it, and near that was a dummy with a very simple dress upon it, yet sleeveless, the bodice still just pinned, but the very pretty shop owner was on the floor near the hem, sewing on a strip of dark amethyst silk.
"Oui! I am back here!" Called Genevieve's voice to Skarlet. She pinned the fabric into place, then pushed up to stand, she herself in a handsome dark bottle green dress lined with blue plaid around its square neck, a broad plaid bow around her waist to accentuate its tinyness.
"Welcome to St. James Boutique," Genevieve welcomed warmly, the very air aroud her inviting and welcoming and coaxing others to relax.
When Intaja enterred, Genevieve turned curious eyes onto her. Then she smiled. "Yes, I think I have something for ze both of you. Come! Sit by the fire." She gestured to the sofa, two chairs, and coffee table in front of a quaint, christmas decorated hearth. A tea set and biscuits were already on the table.
"What is it you lovely ladies are searching for??" She reached for the kettle. "Hot chocolat?"
