19th Dress

[prissy_hooves]

[Action; 7135 Brooks; outside]

[There's a bit of a belated package arriving today for Rarity.  Of course, never having gotten back anything terribly debilitating or depressing yet, she gently unwraps it right away to see what's inside.  A small photograph of her live-in dress shop in Ponyville, Carousel Boutique, floats up out of the package propelled by her magic before disappearing in a flash.  At the same time, behind Rarity, there is now a large circus tent top situated on top of the Kadoya household, forming a new top floor to the structure.  Surprised, she whirls around and silently regards the new addition to the house for a moment before breaking into a smile.]

My goodness, what a generous offering!  I wonder what I did to deserve something like this!

[Action; 7135 Brooks; inside]

[Housemates will notice Rarity busybodying around the house all day long, moving things from the small spare bedroom she's been afforded to sleep and work in up until now and floating them upstairs to the house's new third story.  There's much more space up there, after all, and it's much closer to the sort of lodgings she's used to.  She'll be in and out and back and forth all day, periodically leaving the house to come back with curtains and small pieces of furniture and all sorts of things.]

Oh, so much to do!  Busy busy busy!

(Thankfully, Asagi's not too surprised by the talking unicorn. Talking penguins, dragons, cats, zombies and all of that good stuff gave her a resistance to it.)

Well yes, but my appearances are usually when I try to steal the title of main character by beating one in a fight.

(She tilts her head to the side, giving this scenario some thought.)

The design in this game looks incredibly dull and boring; the developers better not have gotten lazy and started releasing crap titles before my game, but I guess I have to work up the ladder. Do you know where I can find the main character?

[prissy_hooves]

Design? Game? I'm afraid you may have the wrong idea as to what's going on in this town...

[eternalcameo]

But that's what this is, isn't it? Some sort of game for middle-aged men to play through during their free time from work?

I don't know if this is some other trend I'm missing out on, but secret characters aren't supposed to start out at level one! I mean, I don't even have my guns! Is this supposed to be some sort of slice of life RPG?

[prissy_hooves]

No, it's not a game. This is all unfortunately very real.

[eternalcameo]

So then what is it and where the hell are the developers? Getting robbed shitless wasn't part of my contract and they're going to get themselves shot if they think they can breach the agreements!

(Yeah, sorry about her, Rarity; she's not letting go of that mindset.)

[prissy_hooves]

You're no different from anypony else in that regard, unfortunately. We all come here without any of our possessions from home or any of the things that make us special or different.

[eternalcameo]

And not even our clothes...if I find they took my virginity too, I'm going to blow up the entire town!

(And she was just about to call in an orbital strike...but nope; the signal's gone, too. This totally sucks...but back at the matter at hand, Asagi gives the floating objects attention. Looks like she barged right into something...)

Are you moving out or something?

[prissy_hooves]

No, just rearranging things a bit. I'll be moving onto the third floor of this house starting today. I'm converting it into a bedroom and sewing studio for my work.

[eternalcameo]

So unicorns can sew...? (Yes Asagi, they can. Just like how other monsters can run stores and be senators.) You know what? That's pretty damn cool. So you can probably make something for a beautiful lady like myself, right?

[prissy_hooves]

Of course they can, darling! And I'd be happy to make something for you - after all, we're going to be living together for the foreseeable future.

[eternalcameo]

Epic. Now when I challenge people to fights and kick their asses, I'll be able to look as sexy and beautiful as a lady should be!

[prissy_hooves]

I suppose I should use something rather durable, then.

[eternalcameo]

To ensure the look survives the battle, then yes! Now all I need to do is get my hands on some guns...

...oh right! My name is Asagi, Queen of Games and soon-to-be main character of her own game!

(No, she's not an actual queen; that's just her ego getting the best of her.)

[prissy_hooves]

I'm afraid I can't help you with that, but perhaps you could try asking Tsukasa. He's one of our other housemates.

[Rarity nods, sweeping a hoof out to the side in a small curtsy like gesture.]

A pleasure to meet you, Asagi. My name is Rarity, up-and-coming fashion designer of Equestria.

[eternalcameo]

I'll prod him about it when I get the chance.

(It's almost strange to see a unicorn be so polite, but at the same time, really damn cool.)

Fashion designer, huh? It's gotta be a hell of a job, making clothes for everyone. I never sew properly; my fingers are more for triggers than needles.

[prissy_hooves]

It certainly does keep me busy. But the results are well worth the effort when I see others sparkling at their brightest while wearing my fashions.

[eternalcameo]

And you can manage all of that without hands?

[prissy_hooves]

You wouldn't believe how often I get asked that very question. But the answer is yes, I can.

[Rarity demonstrates her magic for Asagi by way of explanation.]

[eternalcameo]

(Ah, well that certainly explains a lot. Asagi nods in approval.)

Well that sure as hell balances it out. Clothes made by a magical unicorn's an epic selling point, too; I can't imagine anyone else being more of a seller than that.

(And it's dramatic pose time to emphasize the point!)

You could smack down everyone else here with that. "Magical Unicorn Clothing!" I dunno about the male market, but girls would be all over that!

[prissy_hooves]

Actually, the business already has a name. It's Carousel Boutique. And surprisingly, I have plenty of male and female customers!

[eternalcameo]

Well I guess that's not too bad, either. Cutesy enough for a unicorn, at least.

So how good are you, anyway?

[prissy_hooves]

If you'd care to follow me upstairs, I can show you.

[eternalcameo]

Sure thing.

(Totally following Rarity now.)

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity leads Asagi up to her half-filled new workshop. Most of her sewing equipment is there already, along with some of her works in progress.]

The rest of it is still downstairs, but this should give you a good idea of the sorts of things I create.

[eternalcameo]

(She'll just casually stroll around the room, observing everything as she does so. This is...really organized.)

...well shit, I wasn't expecting this. It's not half bad.
