[pendantry]

I have new things for sale.

[Raven picks up the book, to turn it around and show off her new merchandise; some of it is jewelry, some of it is just her playing with metal - metal that came from stuff she took apart after finding it in the item shop. Then there is a row of decorative things. Kyle is visible on the other side of the counter, with a specific focus on the metal leaves and flowers of her potted "plants".]

Mmh, I shouldn't say "for sale". They don't cost anything. If you like them you can have one. [Most don't have any kind of attribute either, due to their just-plain-metal nature. The plants occasionally have gems and crystals as part of the flowers; there are a half-dozen birdnest objects, some with stone eggs inside and some with crystal eggs.

Raven's growing fear of being left alone makes her a clingier employee and, surprise surprise, a friendlier salesperson.]

[winds_voice]

Hmm... interesting. They are made of recycled material? Is this something that you are well-known for or are you able to... experiment in other ways?

[Voice]

[pendantry]

Usually I make accessories. [A nod that he can't see to her counter display full of rings, bracelets, and so forth.] There isn't...a lot to do. So I tried new things.

[Voice]

[winds_voice]

I see...

[He pauses, as if trying to decide whether or not to ask something. Whether he should try to bring this up again.]

I have been looking for someone to make me a unique piece of jewellery. However, it... will not be just any normal trinket. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to pay for something like that. Do you take requests? What exactly would you want in return?

[Voice]

[pendantry]

[Oh. Hm. Has he done this before?]

I don't need payment. There isn't any money here. What kind of accessory is it?

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

Those bird nests, how big are they?

[Voice]

[pendantry]

[Raven picks one up, realizes he cannot see her, and sighs.]

One fits in both of my hands. About that size.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

Hn... Could you make a bigger one? I could help with materials if needed.

[Voice]

[pendantry]

How much bigger? [After a certain size, it would be pretty heavy, and the likelihood of putting stone-eggs into it goes down.]

[ahappylie]

[Oh, those are interesting.

And shiny.

Shiny is good.

Souji turns his video on and points at the decorative things.]

Do you take commissions? They're very pretty.

[pendantry]

Yes. [Even difficult things, she will at least try. Making "stuff" that wasn't meant to be useful or useful-decorative reminds her of Hiccup and she likes doing it.] It might take a while.

video;

[ahappylie]

Oh, that's quite alright.

I was just wondering if you could make a little cat for me? Say... about this big? [He holds his index and thumb about two inches apart.] A little black cat?

I can pay you in something you like in return.

[pendantry]

I like pendants. [Which is no real answer for him; it's to convey that she can make what she likes for herself, so no payment is necessary. She also likes flowers, but good luck getting her to admit it.]

That's pretty small. Made of metal? [Shaping metal would be easier and more forgiving than trying to work a crystal or stone into that shape.]

action

[tokennonbender]

[Asami is working on one of her own projects, her book resting open on the counter next to her, when she notices the entry from Raven. She peers at it for a moment, then stands and pokes her head around into the next part of the building to look for the redhead. She still has her goggles on.]

Get any bites on your offer?

action

[pendantry]

Mmh. [It comes with a nod, to differentiate it from the dozen other things that sound could mean.] The people answering want other things, though.

[Then Raven looks up and her head tilts to the side in consideration of the things on Asami's face. She's seen them before, and they always look so odd.]

action

[tokennonbender]

[Asami can't help but smile at that, as she looks over what Raven had on display.]

Can't really ever make people completely happy, hmm?

[And then she looks up to see Raven's odd expression, and she frowns.]

What? Do I have something on my face?

action

[pendantry]

Yes.

[Bet Asami wasn't expecting that answer.]

[Video]

[heartofdragons]

Oh! Is that chain of gears still in stock?

I want one, I want one~! [Hands clasped, wide eyes sparkling. This would be a great gift!]

[Video]

[pendantry]

You can have this one. No one else has wanted it.

[Video]

[heartofdragons]

Sweet!

Thanks! Where do I grab it?

[voice]

[z_jay]

[Evidently, Raven's reputation precedes her and something akin to recognition compels him to ask]

Surely not everything's for free, right?

[voice]

[pendantry]

Yes. Everything. There's no money here to pay with.

[voice]

[z_jay]

Not exactly paper money, no. But we can offer favors and IOUs I guess?

Anyway, ah... my name's Eugene and I heard from a reliable source that you can do customized requests?

[Voice ]

[generalflirt]

Oh wow, those flowers are beautiful.

[Voice ]

[pendantry]

Thanks.

[Odd of him, to start with a genuine compliment.]

Do you want one?

[Voice ]

[generalflirt]

Ah I'm - not totally sure how that would fit with the decor here... How did you even make that though?
