[Action] buy stuff.

[distantbird]

[Raven has been crafting again, and this time she's made enough to share. Or, rather, sell.

Today, she's brought a small table to the Quad, and placed her projects all over it. There's two knitted hats, because the middle of summer is the perfect time to be selling woolen accessories, but it's mostly jewellery. Most of them are pendants, but there's a couple of rings, earrings and bracelets as well. Each has a little label on them stating the price, which could be anything from 500 gil to 5000.

However, Raven's not always been the best of salespeople, even if that is her job at home. She stands there, silently, all wrapped up in her heavy coat and scarf regardless of the warm weather, watching her fellow cadets. Nobody even gets as much as a smile from her - if anything, she seems to be frowning.]

Comments

[fierybluebird]

Wow! They are really great, eh! You must have spent forever on it.

[Glancing everything over and especially overtaken by blue things, though he's clearly trying to remind himself that his wife likes red.]

[distantbird]

Thanks.

[A small nod, as she watches Marco looking over them. After a moment, a hand dips into her pocket, and she brings out two things. The first, a large red feather. The second, a bird-shaped pendant only with a blue stone. The feather goes back in her pocket, but the pendant gets held out.

It's a gift. For being pleasant to her, and stuff. The whole chocobo and bird-talking thing.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh... [He's super touched by this. Like a shade away from watery eyes emotion. Super touched.]

Oh I couldn't... it's too lovely... at least let me pay you for it.

[distantbird]

No. This was made specifically.

There's no chain. You can attach it to whatever you want...

[Or... buy a chain.]

...but the stone gives defense against water.

[Because you are a BIRD ON FIRE, Marco. You must be weak to water.]

[incinerare]

[He pauses upon seeing the table with its wares and approaches to study both the items on the table as well as their seller. They're rather impressive actually, to consider that the girl actually made them by hand.]

Do you happen to take commissions?

[distantbird]

[Her expression doesn't really change, and her answer seems practically monotonous.]

Yes.

I can use most materials you bring me. Some materials, such as certain crystals and m-stone pieces, will allow me to give the item elemental or status defense properties.

[incinerare]

[He offers her a smile as he considers the items once again and nods in acknowledgment of her words.]

I'll keep that in mind and see about getting some materials together for you to work with.

[distantbird]

[Nod.]

I also make and customise weapons.

[paintedred]

[Asuka is just out for some fresh air today. When she sees Raven, she instantly decides that there's something weird about her because of how she's dressed, but when she notices the table, she becomes curious. As she approaches, her judgemental expression changes to one of surprise.]

You're selling these?

[distantbird]

[A nod.]

Yes.

[paintedred]

They're so pretty... [She didn't wear much jewelry, usually, but they were so well-made! Especially that red pendant there, hmm... She reaches out to pick it up.]

[distantbird]

The main stone on that item absorbs heat - it improves your defence against fire.

[ Raven doesn't seem to respond to the compliment at all.]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[BLING IS CALLING HER NAME

[Sharpay runs her fingers over the table just below or above the jewellery, trying to figure out what in her wardrobe would go with them.

[... not a lot. This stuff isn't her usual style. But it's pretty.]

What are they made out of?

[RAVEN WHY SHE IS TRYING TO SAVE MONEY NOT SPEND IT]

[distantbird]

Silver jewellery wire, and various stones, gems, beads and crystals. Chains are also silver - cords, leather.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[She nods. Not up to her usual standards for jewellery, but pretty all the same.]

I wish I wore more clothes that would work with them.

[distantbird]

I make custom items, too.

[justnotthesame]

[Antisocial, meet antisocial. Though that just means the frown doesn't scare him off. Once no one else is browsing, he sidles over to have a look himself.]

You make a lot of nice stuff.

[distantbird]

[A small nod, and Raven watches the unfamiliar student carefully.]

[crockshot]

[Artemis might not seem the jewelry sort, but even she likes pretty stuff sometimes. So when she catches sight of the table, she naturally comes over to take a look. It doesn't even take her long to decide, in fact she hones in on one straight away.]

Does this come in green?

[An arrow shaped pendant for an archer, it's pretty much made for her. Now if only it were the right color.]

[distantbird]

Not at the moment. I could make one like it with glass. Or a green stone, like jade, adventurine, malachite, or peridot.

[crockshot]

Whatever you think will look better's fine. How much do I owe you?

[rebellingheart]

[Rinoa loves pretty things, and she's not the sort to deny it either. She also has fairly deep pockets which help in acquiring pretty things.]

It's been a while.

[She leans over, examining a necklace closely.]

I didn't realize you made more than hats.

[She still has hers, of course, and quite cherishes it too.]

You're really talented. [She leans forward and picks up a few items. Then an idea strikes and she practically beams at Raven.]

Do you do commissions?

[Matching small, cute things for her pets to wear on their collars? Yes please.]

[distantbird]

Thanks.

[Hello again. Raven tilts her head in greeting.]

I do. I can use either materials from my current supply, or you can provide a gem or crystal you like. I specialise in accessories, but with the appropriate tools, I can also make weapons.

I... worked with the village blacksmith.

[rebellingheart]

I wish I could make stuff like this, but it'd just come out looking like a mess.

[She looks at the pendant in her hands thoughtfully.]

Something like a pendant, but smaller? I was thinking maybe something that could go on a pet collar? I've got two cats and a dog, and it'd be cute if they had something matching I think.

[And she's got more than enough money to pay for it certainly.]

[thumbsize]

[Thumbelina blinks at all the beautiful wares and, having never seen such sparkling jewels before, besides her mother's treasured brooches and the ring Cornelius gave her.]

You made all of these?
