19th Dress

[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!

Comments

[prissy_hooves]

Oh yes, it's much roomier! This will make it far easier to get things done around here.

[suicidoll]

I'm glad to hear it. Will you need any help moving things up there? An entire floor could take some time to organize and I'll gladly offer my assistance.

[prissy_hooves]

Well, I certainly wouldn't want to impose...

[suicidoll]

Nonsense, darling; what are friends for?

(With a few claps of her hands, Kreutzer summons several of her dolls.)

Girls, we're helping Rarity move some things around. She's in charge today, so mind your manners and follow her directions as if they were mine.

(The dolls begin examining the things that need to be brought inside, but they're ready for commands!)

[prissy_hooves]

Good idea! Just a moment...

[Rarity trots toward the door, cupping a hoof over her mouth.]

Empress! Come out and help your sisters, won't you?

[And just as quickly as called, Rarity's own personal doll comes flapping out of the top window to help out too.]

There. With all of this help, we should be done in no time at all.

[suicidoll]

Exactly; there's plenty of manpower make this a fluent and efficient move.

...oh, right! While they're taking care of a few things, I was hoping I could run a few ideas past you. I have a few designs sketched out and I would like your input on them...

(While the dolls get to moving things up to the top floor, Kreutzer readies her portfolio and shows Rarity the sketches she prepared.)

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity uses her magic to float all of the various sketches around her in a circular pattern, rotating them in front of her eyes in turn to give each one a good look.]

Oh, yes, these are simply marvelous, Kreutzer! You certainly have quite an eye for design!

[suicidoll]

(Oh, that's definitely great to hear. Kreutzer looks relieved and satisfied with Rarity's response.)

Oh thank you, Rarity; fashion was one of the things I studied back home. Then again, I'm from roughly 200 years ago, so my preferences might be considered classical by now...

(And now Kreutzer's seriously considering this...)

[prissy_hooves]

There's nothing wrong with that at all. Sometimes a classic look is just what's called for. And if you'd like, I can show you how to update some of your designs to a more modern sort of feel. I'm certain it would make for a very visually stunning effect! Sort of a harmonious fusion of different fashion styles, you might say.

[suicidoll]

I would love that very much, Rarity. You're much more familiar with modern trends than I am; do you think you'd be able to spruce up these designs with your own style? I think it would be a great start for the merger, don't you?

[prissy_hooves]

Oh, yes, it would be a wonderful beginning to our new partnership! Just leave it to me - I promise you won't be disappointed!

[suicidoll]

Oh thank you so very much, Rarity. I look forward to your wonderful additions.

[prissy_hooves]

We're going to make quite a team, Kreutzer!

[suicidoll]

We shall take all of Mayfield by storm!

[prissy_hooves]

To the beginning of a wonderful partnership!

[Rarity sticks out a hoof for a shake.]

[suicidoll]

May all of Mayfield bask in our glory!

(And Kreutzer holds out her hand to shake Rarity's hoof. The partnership is totally official now!)
