1st Tea Party: Party of One

[suicidoll]

(After waking up and meeting her not!husband, Kreutzer left the house on her own to venture through Mayfield and learn about what kind of place it is. Since she died at the end of the game she's from, she's convinced that Mayfield is some sort of afterlife; what kind of afterlife has yet to be specified.)

Action A: Around town

(After learning that she apparently has a job as a seamstress, Kreutzer actually attends and completes the work as normal. It's far too easy for her and she quickly gets bored enough to decide and use the day to make a dress of her own. Mayfield's clothes are terrible.

So now that she's done for the day, she's casually walking through the streets in a very fabulous and formal dress and matching red hair bow, though she's clearly new to Mayfield and looks like a lost princess. Will anyone try and save this confused damsel?)

Action B: 2239 Stevens; open to all

(She's been gone for most of the day, but this home's new mother has returned! Kreutzer's still wearing the very same dress she made, but this time she's sitting on the grass and lost in thought. Anyone who wishes to approach her might need to make several attempts at grabbing her attention.)

[Hajime returns home after making an exploratory venture into his own job as a butcher. He's forgotten he's still wearing the butcher's apron, so he's got quite a bit of blood oh him.

He sees Kreutzer outside and figures he ought to make a stab at being polite if they're going to be stuck in the same house. Plus, he's found out a few things about the town she might be interested in.]

I have a job, apparently.

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer would normally need more than that to be brought back to reality, but the smell of Hajime's apron does the job. She casually looks over at him.)

As do I, apparently...blood strangely suits you.

[chalicejoker]

[Hajime's eyes narrow. He's really been trying not to give in to his more homicidal instincts for quite some time now even before coming to Mayfield, and then she goes and unwittingly insults that.]

You don't even want to know what I did back in my world...besides photography.

[He realizes the apron really is pretty nasty and starts to remove it before going inside.]

So what did you wind up with?

[suicidoll]

You say that as if you're the only one with a dark past. Perhaps we can exchange memories over tea sometime.

(It's a good thing he's taking that thing off; she's not going to clean that. She gestures towards her dress.)

I'm a seamstress. If you visit, perhaps I can make you some proper clothing.

[chalicejoker]

[And if she's not going to clean it, it's...it's probably going to sleep outside after he forgets about it. Here's hoping it doesn't attract any weird animals.

He looks down at what he's wearing. He'd be insulted at that, too, if he weren't painfully aware that the stuff he's wearing is pretty horrible.]

I'd appreciate that.

[Hey, maybe she's like some news!]

While I was out, I ran into a...colleague. He's been here a while, apparently. Says he can get me some literature on this place.

[suicidoll]

(She won't touch that thing until she gets her powers back. Otherwise, it's going in the trash.

Whoever made these clothes was clearly blind; Kreutzer can make you look like a real man, Hajime. She's interested at this mention of a colleague.)

Something that explains what kind of place this is?

[eternalfuture]

[There's a girl with long pigtails eyeing that dress.]

Uwaaah, that's so pretty! Where did you find such a pretty dress?

[suicidoll]

(And in return, she's admiring that hairstyle.)

I made it myself. The selection available here is terrible, so took matters into my own hands.

...I must admit, your hair is lovely. How do you manage to keep it like that?

[eternalfuture]

That's amazing! You must be really talented, to make something like that. It's lovely!

My hair? It takes some work, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's all in making sure I don't sleep with it up and I'm careful about conditioning it.

I always forget names! I'm sorry. I'm Usagi!

[suicidoll]

Thank you; I've had a lot of practice. If you like, I can make you a dress one day.

Hair styling is as much of an art as dress making. That level of dedication can help a girl look like a true lady.

That's not a problem; I've only woken up here this morning. I'm Kreutzer.

[lil_tanuki]

Now tha' is something. I'm gonna go out on a limb an' say you made it?

[Hayate's standing there with a grocery bag, and looking over Kreutzer with a appraising eye.]

[suicidoll]

(Quite an eye you have there! Then again, anyone who isn't blind can see that Kreutzer's totally overdressed.)

That's right. The collection in my closet was completely distasteful; it's one thing to wake up in a mysterious place, but it's another to make me look bad...literally.

[lil_tanuki]

Don't I know it. Ah can make some nice sundresses an' stuff but that's a bit much even for this place. But I ain't complain'.

Hayate Yagami. I'd offer to shake your hand but I've got full hands.

[suicidoll]

Anything's better than the polka-dot dresses that litter my closet.

Kreutzer Wilhelm XIII. Would you like some assistance?

[lil_tanuki]

I wouldn't mind it. My place is just up the road. It's a bit of a walk from the market and all.

[suicidoll]

That's quite alright; it's why I prefer letting servants do this sort of work.

(She'll just take a few of those bags now.)

What kind of place is this, exactly?

Action A

[bravabarber]

[Is he impressed or what?]

Signorina, that is a very beautiful dress, where did you find it~?♪

[suicidoll]

(That seems to be the general consensus.)

I sewed it myself; despite whatever brought me to this town, the true criminal is the poor sense of fashion all of these lifeless people seem to enjoy.

Sorry this is so late, I went on a hiatus.

[bravabarber]

I have to admit, I do not understand the fashion that this town pushes to us. It is rather...bland.

But if you ever feel that you need someone to help you with a little sewing or tailoring, feel free to call for me signorina~! As the factotum of this town, it is part of my services to offer some needlework help~♪

[prissy_hooves]

Oh my, what a lovely dress! Did you make it yourself?

[Maybe no help on the other stuff, but Rarity is always willing to trade fashion tips.]

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer should probably have a more surprised reaction to meeting a talking unicorn, but making living and talking dolls for a living kind of helps her stay mellow.)

I did, actually; I woke up this morning with a terrible arrangement in my closet and could barely leave home with them. I just simply couldn't abide by those fashion accidents.

[prissy_hooves]

Oh, I agree! This town's idea of fashion is simply horrid! I've been doing what I can to fix the problem, but it's been quite an uphill climb.

[suicidoll]

That is far too much for one person to handle...so to speak. There must be no distinction between anyone brought here if they would do this to royalty...

[prissy_hooves]

Did you say royalty?

[suicidoll]

I did. I am Empress Kreutzer Wilhelm XIII. It's a pleasure to meet you.

(She even follows that up with a proper curtsy. It's etiquette, after all.)

I must admit, I've never seen a horse with a lovely mane as yours before. How do you treat it?
