Small Business Owner - Please Wipe Your Shoes Before Entering ((An AU for Kanaya and Co. in a place you could describe as 'Sideways of Skaia.' NSFW themes acceptable but rarely public facing.))
It Seems There Is An Awful Lot Of Democracy Going Around Today I Think I Only Recently Qualified To Vote In Elections Here But I Don't See Anyone Unseating The Mayor Democratically - Not That Other Options Aren't Worryingly Present
Damn It Would Seem To Allow File Uploads To A Form It Would Require Revealing Rather Private Information From The Sender And I Wouldn't Wish To Discourage Still If My Opinion Or Merely Showcase Of Your Style Is Sought I Suppose You Could Just Send The Link To The Image Within The Text Ask Box And Ill Figure It Out
I Should Figure Out How To Allow Images On The Form I Could Allow People To Send Me Their Outfits For My Observations Or Simply For Fun
'Anon' Asks: "What do you mean by the 'usual' dead ones? Shadowdroppers in the city or something?" Thankfully None Of Those - The City Has A Dubious Connection To A Session From What I Gather And Thus A Dubious Connection To The Bubbles Of The Dreaming Dead Much Like Here It Is Not Easy For Them To Stay Long On Average As They Tend To Forget Where They Are And Vanish Or Get Caught Up In Other Memories And Again Vanish - From What I Know The Economy Used To Crash About Once A Week Before A Completely New Currency System Was Established Besides The Usual Boonbucks Or Grist Which Players Dead Or Otherwise Tend To Be Loaded With
Its Rather Traditionally Gaudy But I Always Find Myself At Least A Little Captivated By Sinclairs Whenever I Pass By It On Errands There Doesnt Seem To Be Much Doubt That It Is Named After The Man Buried Underneath It And His Ghost Is A Lot Less Of A Tourist Than The Usual Dead Ones We Get Out Here
They Never Tell You How Much Worse It Is To Be On Your Feet Standing Still Presentably By The Displays All Night Instead Of Moving Around Making Quiet Or Loud Hivecalls Ow
Oh I Received A Question From Anonymous How Nostalgic - I Do Support Anonymity In Its Many Useful Forms Now Quote: "You say your place is a clothing store essentially right? Can you say more about what it's actually like in there?" Well I Could Just Show You As Well There Are Three Floors - The Main Floor The Upper Floor I Live On And A Basement Not Worth Mentioning - My Workspace Is In The Back As You Can Almost See And Down The Halls Are A Few Supplementary Sales Floors And The Changing Rooms
These Seem Popular As A Way To Take Requests Around Here And Id Rather Not Dwell On The Past Of The Other One Id Had Anyways To New Beginnings
Thought I Might Post Some Aesthetic Material While Transparently Marketing Anyways
That Was Such A Busy Opening So Many Skirts To Shorten - Just How Many Nurses Were There In The City Anyway Totally Sold Out Of Thigh Highs As Well I Guess Advertising Works
I Do Wonder What Kinds Of Devices Others Are Using To Access This Place I Have A Computational Device Of A Sort And I Do Choose That Term Over Husktop Or Computer Being That It Is Kind Of A Piece Of Shit
Mine Used To Be A Very Happening District I Am Told But It Was Caught In The Friction Zone Between Rival Factions Which Tends To Resort In A Lot Of Open Power Plays And Claim Staking Still One Can Get Away With A Lot More This Way If The Right People Are Avoided Or Paid Off - Gray Zones Tend To Be Respected For Their Role In Greasing Commerce's Wheels But This Tends TO Result In Times Of Very High Activity Followed By Quickly Empty Streets When True Night Rolls In And Citizens Would Rather Be In Clearly Affiliated Establishments Instead Of Disputed Streets - I Recommend Mine
Oh That Can't Be Right This Is Going To Be A Busy Opening Indeed
Big Day Today Opening I Just Wish I Had A Little More Control Over The Street Ambiance
My What A Contentious Time But One Must Plug Where They Can Should You Have Need Of New Attire Be It Freshly Bought Or Designed Freshly - Or To Refit Old Attire - Do Find Your Way Here To The Tinkering Tailor Also Small Engine Repair If You Ask Politely Maybe More
I See A Few Potential Clientele Out There Surely There Will Be A Grand Opening Discount For You Perhaps On The Next Celestial Rotation Though As The Hour Draws Late And The Sun Will Rise Soon Not That I've Never Worked Late But It Does Make Everything A Truly Disconcerting Pink Hue
I Never Thought I Would Become The Shut In Type But I Confess I Overestimated How Quickly I Would Become Used To The Garish New View At Least The Questionable Computation Device Works - Hello

//Greetings and Askbox: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHrBCpilxcp5XjyMABrIkrkrrIJHch26-5GsxZnyaNnRgwNQ/viewform?usp=dialog If you've encountered me before you can consider this a reboot. Would be a shame to waste the assets! Pinned information: -Kanaya is in her late 20's-early 30's, whatever that would look like for her caste. -She lives in a HIGHLY stylized and distinct Midnight City that operates under many of its own confusing rules. She cannot simply leave it for long. -The trolls did play SGRUB but did not make it to the Black King. Most made it to the City, not all lasted. - She has lived in Midnight City for sweeps at this point, equal to or longer than she did on Alternia. Enough that starting from nothing she's gone on to purchase real estate and start her own seamstressing business. -Her knowledge of the humans and greater Homestuck canon is spotty at best. Usually, she will have heard of a version of that person but only as the most notable one exists in the City. -I take a few liberties with her quirk as it pertains to longer form conversations. Mostly just by using - to break up longer blocks of text. #OOC #pinned
Your name is KANAYA MARYAM and you really need to bribe somebody to get the streetlamp outside fixed. It makes your REPUTABLE ESTABLISHMENT look like someone fooled around with the brightness and contrast settings on the whole block. You would have purchased a location in a less foreboding looking area, but real estate isn't cheap! Had to get on that PROPERTY LADDER some time instead of peddling your wares on risky house calls to strange carapacians and stranger drifters. Sometimes Sgrub was less stressful. Besides. As the protection money some call property taxes go up, the locales only get better lit by dint of being WRETCHEDLY GARISH. And you, aforementioned Maryam, have some class. At least in some parts of you. The real question is: What will you do with it? #narration #halfIC
