genessia | 6 Lanterns

[Rapunzel is sitting in her apartment. On her lap appeared to be a puppy that she had come across when the dogs had been let loose. Why she decided to take it home with her was really any ones guess, but it was currently relaxing while she was giving it a fuss.

As Rapunzel stroked it, she usual smile had been replaced with a small frown. She was pondering something.]

So... from the newspaper and learning something has made me think that... My mother wasn't full wrong in telling me of the dangers that exist. I mean she made it sound like everything was and.... she was wrong in that, but... I am not naive enough to think everything is okay. It's just really hard to tell.

[She paused for a moment, carefully moving the puppy off her lap and onto her bed.]

But I have a question. Is there a way to be able to tell if someone has bad intentions or not? Is it something that is even easy to tell? I ask because I am curious that is all.

[She looks over for a brief moment before remembering she had something else to add. So putting some stray strands of hair behind her ear she speaks.]

Also, I am still taking requests for paintings and clothing still as another job. So if you have something even a wall that needs painting let me know by this device or through the post and I will get to it as quickly as I can.

Time. Patience. And observation.

[ There's a pause. Then, with the same expression, the same tone of voice: ]

What sort of clothes do you make?

So...watching people for a really long time?

[That is what she got out of it.]

I make any kind of clothes. I mean I am still learning things like trousers, but it's not that hard.

Mostly.

[ ... She's not aware of how creepy that sounds. ]

Often I find you need to wait to form an opinion.

Do you mind working with the color black?

That actually makes sense, if I must admit.

[She soon nods slightly.]

I do not mind at all. I assume you like that colour?

Not really. It's a dress code.

So it's for work?

... It was.

[ It's only now occurred to her she could wear something different. ]

I don't really know what to wear, otherwise.

I think I can think of something to work with.

Do you have something in mind?

[ Faintly curious, maybe. ]

[She nodded slightly.]

yes, though do you want to see what I have in mind first drawing wise?

Yes.

[ A small pause ]

If you please.

Just give me a few minutes... or more because I have to actually grab a notepad and pencils.

[She puts the device down as she hurries off, she knew she had brought some it was just the case of getting them and then drawing, which to her really would not take all that long.

Once she returned she moved to sit down and simply started to draw. Looking up briefly.]

So double checking. You need it in black and it's for work? Is there a certain style. Shirt and trousers? Dress? Just what you prefer to wear.

[ Pauses, thinks. ]

... People associated with this individual wear black.

It isn't for my job here. I would like to be ready when I return home, at any time.

[ Another pause. ]

I haven't worn trousers before. I don't know if I like them or not.

Okay so...can you describe what you would normally wear so I can work around that, maybe?

[She was drawing some skirts at least she figured that was the style.]

[ Rather than a verbal description, Dorothy backs up, so her entire figure is caught by the camera's lens.

She does a slow turn, careful and measured.

Then, returns to the camera. ]

I would prefer if the fabric wasn't delicate. So I would not need to have it repaired very often.

So dresses. My bread and butter.

[She continues drawing, turning a page now and again as she does a couple notes or doodles of other designs for just in case. It wasn't long before she turned the notepad around and showing off the dress she designed.

It was black going just below the knees, ruffles around the wrists and the bottom of the skirt, as well as tiny details, woven into the dress itself. Details designs and the like.]

This is just the start of the design and you can make changes.

[ Eyes are a bit wider, now. Voice has a hint of awe. ]

... You came up with that very quickly.

You are very talented.

I know. I am used to making my own clothes, so designing and such don't take long.

[Way too much time trapped indoors.]

The actual making still does, however.

[ Expression returns to normal. Matter-of-fact: ]

That makes sense. You're only human.

Uh, yes that's right.

So is something like that okay with you, or was there more you wanted?

[ There's a long pause ]

Do you think I should try something with trousers?

It's really up to you, do you think you will like wearing them?

I won't know until I try.

Then I'll make one pair. Then you'll know afterwards.

Thank you.

Do you require any advance payment?
