[For the SHOW! | Carly's Trailer]

[Something that Medli might have caught sight of on her first evening in the Carnival, before it eventually became covered in various piles of clothes, Carly's sewing dummy shows just a little bit of wear once it's cleared from the stash. It's pulled out relatively often now that she's a tailor, but the times she gets to really make use of it are slim even now.

Mostly because people are So. So much better.]

Alright! [It could be anyone that she's talking to. Her roommate. Her roommate's friends. Her own friends. Some combination of the three. Anyone!

But now that she's invited you in, it's time for just one thing.] So what kind of thing did you have in mind to try!

[It's on the Clock | Tailor's Work Room]

[As comfortable as she is with working in her trailer, Carly's workplace at the end of the day...is not her trailer. Instead it's back in the work room for the carnival's wardrobe crew, with rows and rows of costumes and fabrics and various supplies necessary to get from point A to point EYY. For the moment, she's working in silence; she's relatively alone when she works at things in this little corner, and it means things get done. Maybe she's working on your costume?

Or maybe you have a request...]

[...Sometimes | WILDCARD]

[...Or maybe, just maybe, she's not working at all. Whether in her trailer, in the work room, or even the dining hall, Carly seems to frantically be trying to weave string around a hoop while adding a few of her down feathers (shiny and glowing) to the mix.] Mmmnh...hmnnnn, that doesn't look right at all....

[The announcement to make dreamcatchers wasn't long ago at all though, was it?

What could possibly have her working at these so frantically?!]

For the SHOW! | Carly's Trailer

[swordfishtrombones]

[Brook waved his arms wildly in the air. It made him look like a lunatic.]

I want frills! MORE FRILLS!

[fortuneglass]

EH?!

[Seeing how they've just started, that's just a little confusing.] On what though?!

[swordfishtrombones]

[As a sort of answer, Brook waved his sleeves at her. The ends were... well, looking a little frayed, what with all the pirating and swordfighting he did, but he actually just sort of wanted more frills in general.]

On my show costume, of course! Don't you think this one could use some PIZZAZZ?

[jazz hands

more jazz hands]

[fortuneglass]

Oh! I see!! [No she doesn't. But she can guess!] I can definitely see where the sleeves need them...

But do you want them everywhere?! I need a lot more fabric for that you know!!

[She doesn't have enough in this trailer Brook!!]

work room!

[hoasen]

[Vietnam's finished off a costume and was putting it away. It will be some time until the performers come to inspect, so she can afford a bit of a break now.

Which is why she'll be coming over to take a look. She's silent at first as she watches.]

[fortuneglass]

[Silence means she doesn't even notice Vietnam is there. Which is good-it means she can work on this surprise garment for Medli without pause.

It also means that when she's got her foot off the sewing machine to turn around and grab something only to see Vietnam, she won't DESTROY EVERYTHING in panic.] HH-HAHAAAAUUH!!

W- How long were you there?!

[hoasen]

[And yes how eager! And since Vietnam is super patient, she doesn't even make a sound.

Until THIS HAPPENS.]

A-ah?! O-oh, I am sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

[fortuneglass]

AH- [Well!! She's still pretty shocked, but it's...not as if it was deliberate.] It's fine..! Ahaha...I guess I was just really working...

[Yeah that's it.] Um-! Did you want something then? [she asks, glancing around.] I brought a lot of fabric rolls back here so...

Wildcard

[linkedpenumbra]

[If none of them look right to Carly, then clearly she won't mind as one of her discarded dreamcatchers get nicked right through the use of magic, shadows collecting around it before zooming to the dark corner that the caster has himself secluded in.

Oh. It's the boy in the tunic.

How fun for her. Not that Shadow will care as he examines the thing carefully. Beforehand he's taken a good look at some others that people have submitted and they don't seem too difficult as long as he doesn't put much effort, such as only doing them by hand.

Carefully he starts unraveling back into its individual pieces with the same shadows that waver around it.]

[fortuneglass]

Hnn...mnhh...

[There is a hand in your shadows.] Maybe if I match it with-

HEH!?!? [She turns the minute something feels off, and OH BOY.] W-WHAT ON EARTH!?

[linkedpenumbra]

Hm, well you caught on faster than I thought you would.

[Shadow doesn't shift his gaze from the disassembled dreamcatcher though. Bit by but and yet also all at once, he uses his magic to resemble it into something that seems better if the ones he's seen for delivery to the Ringmaster were examples to go by.

What a cheater.]

[fortuneglass]

C-Caug-

HEY!! [Now hold on young man! She's gunning to snatch at him now!] You can't just steal my materials! At least ask first!!

[The fact that he's doing far more than that doesn't quite occur to her really.]

Work Room

[waitingforplayer2]

[ Chiaki figured there must be a wardrobe department at this Circus. Apparently, judging by the rows and rows of clothing, she's found it. She walks slowly towards the back, gazing around, until she sees --

Ahh, the harpy. She definitely saw Carly at some point during the karaoke "orientation," but they haven't talked yet. She carefully approaches the tailor. ]

Excuse me...?

[fortuneglass]

[Chiaki's calm pays off-she pauses in her sewing efforts, turns, and-]

Um- Yes?

[hello who dis] Is there something I can help with? [She starts, looking around a bit as if to wonder if there were someone better suited for any questions and requests.]

[waitingforplayer2]

[ She hesitates and looks around the room again. ]

Do you fix things? [ She uneasily shifts a bunch of fabric draped over one arm. ]

[fortuneglass]

Fixing... [Her eyes move toward the fabric, before she brightens.] Oh! Costume mending!

Of course! What do you have there..?

I activate the trap card Ear Modifyer!

[toogoodtoopure]

[He wasn't really sure about this. For one thing, his jackal ears - and Yuugi was certain they were jackal, recalling a picture of an Egyptian jackal that his grandfather had shown him once when trying to explain the Egyptian gods - were slightly on the sensitive side when they were touched. In fact, they flick back when he goes to scratch at the base, almost like a dog. It's strange how they've almost got a mind of their own sometimes.

The question makes him hesitate a little before his hand falls back and he scratches the back of his neck, looking a mite sheepish.]

Ah...I just realized I, um, don't really have any clothes other than my school uniform.

[He swallows, Adam's apple bobbing behind his collar.]

And...I was kind of wondering if you had anything for these?

[He gestures to his ears, which twitch forward.]

NOT THE TRAP CARD-

[fortuneglass]

Ah-

[Oh dear.] Y-You mean you didn't get anything while we were at the crossroads?! [Carly asks, only to hurriedly realize why with an audible 'ulp'.] Ehhhh...that's right, you wouldn't have been working then...

...so you wouldn't have the vacation allowance... [She crosses her arms, frowning.] Well, we'll have to get a few things done then...you can't just wear your uniform all the time after all, you need-

[Rather abruptly her train of thought cuts short to stare at the ears that Yugi has drawn attention toward, and she blinks.

And then beams.] For those~?

Ahhhh...well! I was making some designs for a few things...so many people have different ears here, and it's encouraged to try new things in the wardrobe department, so...

yes the trap card!!

[toogoodtoopure]

Crossroads?

[He blinks before he understands, realization dawning before he lets out a slightly nervous giggle. Yuugi doesn't think too much about it, instead choosing to shake his head before pausing.]

Well I guess everyone here would know my age so...there's no point in wearing my uniform.

[Or at least he hoped they would. It was impossible, but he had grown a few inches before Atem left. Who knew? Maybe if he got dog ears here, the carnival would grant a few more extra inches. His ears perk forward when she says that, though, brightening.]

Ah, that's good. For a moment I was worried that I might be a bit out of place...

WORKROOM

[starseedling]

[Carly will just be doing her thing in the wardrobe area, when suddenly Steven is there, emerging from in between the rows of costumes excitedly, his eyes full of stars.]

CARLY, THEY'RE SO PRETTY!

[He announces it like his mere presence isn't its own surprise. He'd wandered in when Carly was preoccupied, and immediately gotten distracted with the whole thing. Most of this stuff wouldn't actually fit him, but that's not really the point. There's glitter.]

[fortuneglass]

HHHIIAAAAAHHHH-!

[WHY ALL THE SHOUTING

WHY ALL THE SURPRISES-

you're lucky you're small and adorable Carly does more than just jump, of course-heck, for a moment it almost looks like she's on fire, but the moment quickly passes as she looks to Steven.] A-Ahhhhahahaaa... Th-Thank you! I do my best...!

...you should probably be more careful though, I could have hurt you...maybe...

[It's up for debate.]

[starseedling]

[Steven blushes sheepishly, realizing his mistake. He bats a hand to dismiss the idea.]

Sorry - it's okay, though, I'm pretty tough!

[He lifts his hands to his sides. He's so jacked.]

I just came to get fitted for some costumes!

work room!

[otokogi]

[ Once he's run his idea past Joker and gotten the all clear from the Ringmaster, it's time for Mitsuki to start pulling the pieces of his show together. There are a lot of things he can do himself but wardrobe is not one of them. He does have a few ideas, though, and more importantly he knows where to go to do something with them. (Or he thinks he does, anyway.)

It's so quiet when he comes in that Mitsuki makes a point of finding a hard surface among the soft and beautiful things around him to knock on as a way of announcing himself. ]

Hello?

[fortuneglass]

[Ahhhh, quiet interruptions...

So rare...so rare. Carly looks up from her work from the far end of the room to look for the source of the new voice, and eventually she manages to catch Mitsuki in her eyes.] Ummm...

Hello? Are you looking for someone?

[otokogi]

[ Don't get too used to it, Mitsuki's not usually a quiet guy, but he knows it sucks to get interrupted in the middle of your work.

He's startled, a little, by the appearance of the person that answers him, but he's fast getting used to the unusual appearances of his new co-workers. ]

I am. I think I might be looking for you, really! I need to talk to someone about my costume...?
