I'm going to take commissions for suits and dresses! I know we have a lot of people on campus who have unconventional body shapes, and that probably makes shopping in town pretty tough. But I think I can manage to sew something nice for anyone who needs it!

Mostly I just need the money to cover materials, so it shouldn't be too expensive unless you want really expensive fabric. The extra pocket money wouldn't hurt, of course, ha ha! Swaps are okay too if you can make something you think I'd need.

Let me know! I'll need at least a week or two of advanced notice so I have plenty of time to work on projects between classes and assignments.

If there really is going to be a ball, then I hope to see everyone there!

My apologies for the miscommunication- I’m unlikely to attend the event. I was just curious about it.

For reference, however, the latter.

[ Also it makes it harder to tell he’s a scrawny beanpole. ]

[leekspins]

Really? Why don't you want to go? It sounds like it's going to be fun, and the food is always good!

[heromedal]

I’m not one for parties.

[ He assumes, having never gone to one. ]

And the food here is already sufficient.

[leekspins]

[That doesn't really answer the question... But if he doesn't like parties, there's not much she can do to fix that.]

I suppose that's true. It's a shame! But I'll make you something nice just the same. I'll head into town this weekend to get materials, so if I can get your measurements before then, that would be great. You're also welcome to join me if you want to choose your materials personally!

[ There’s a longer wait between this reply and the others as Rex weighs up the pros and cons of accepting the offer. He does that with all sorts of things that don’t need strategic deliberation. Eventually- ]

I will consider your kind offer. I’d be interested in learning some of the process, in either case, if you wouldn’t mind explaining the differences and uses of materials if I accompany you.

[ He likes learning! Learning is the best. And since his current area of research is creating artificial spiritual life forms, knowing about clothes might be a good idea. Don’t want them running around nude. People might think he’s a perv. ]

[leekspins]

I don't mind one bit! Mostly it depends on what texture you prefer, and how good the quality is. Not everything should be fancy, since it takes a lot more effort to take care of it and whether you put it in the wash or have to bring the suit to the dry cleaners.

I should also mention that there's someone I spoke with can do a limited time spell if you want something temporary just for a special occasion, that's the most inexpensive option.

[heromedal]

Mostly I am just interested because it's a subject I haven't looked at before. Only necessary repairs of my old clothing. So I'd rather learn from the conventional process.

[ And despite its relatively mundane application, it will kick off his mad science mood. Crazy elaborate wizard outfits, activate! ]

[leekspins]

Oh, I see! It's a thirst for knowledge!

In that case, I'll do my best to pass on what I know.
