She's Tailor Maid

Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

It's a good life in the land of Yamato. Shiruba has been on a venture across several of the Ninetails Dominon's trade routes, helping to drum up labor to send down to Shibuya. Seems like even amongst the Landers there are people who don't want to spend their entire life doing the same thing and were willing to put their skills to use on a bigger project in gratitude for all the help the Adventurers have given them. Plus a few equinox events where she could get them in.

But that was neither here or there. She still had friends that spent most of their time around the earlier areas, so she felt a need to check in on them as well. "Hellooo-oooo~" Shiruba calls as she ambles into the store, letting it trail off into a small howl-like call so they'd know it's her. This is pretty much her adopted family by this point, after all.

Life is good here, Earth is as rapidly fading memory for Gwen and one she misses less and less every day. she's in good spirits as she ses of all people Shiruba enter her shop. Gwen is currently in a french maid outfit and beams at Shiruba.

"It's good to see you I have food and my summer plans have been going well. I have to ask? Green or blue?"
Shiruba

"It's good to see you too! I've been off and away and busy, while you have both of your ventures here close to the starting point." The wolfgirl bounds over to give the taller elven woman a hug, though her ears perk up at the mention of food. "It's like you knew I was coming." Then lets go and puts a hand to her chin thoughtfully. "Well green goes with most of my stuff in general. But blue would be closer to my hair and eyes, and match my storm thematic because it's the color of the sky." Pause. Tail flick. "... Why you asking?"
Gwen

Gwen leans on the counter for a moment "I know that's true but we will expand out eventually, right? For now we're are a newbie helper guild but with no new players we'll eventually have to become something else. For now though we're doing good. I'm making something for you for later, Uta, and so many others." Gwen is in the candy shop here she can get so much more in the way of materials here...than back where they came from. "So how is it not having your life dominated anymore?"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

"Technically. But there's a lot of people that only started playing just before what happened, so there's no shortage of them." Shiruba leans on the countertop, though she gives her friend a sidelong look. ".. Not like the outfit she was trudging around the desert in, hopefully." That's typical Gwen, especially now. She folds her hands behind her head. "Dominated is such a harsh term.. I mean, it's not like my parents weren't trying to look out for me... just they wanted everything -their- way, what they thought was best." Pauses to sigh. "I do miss Hinoke though."
Gwen

Gwen says "Oh I made one of those for myself and one for you too!" She beams at this very proud of herself. "Trust me I tested my own! As for that we'll you see in a few months say around june." She beams again that means summer and that hints to what she's working on.

"Too bad we couldna't have had them playing on New Years..."
Shiruba

Shiruba sighs and rolls her eyes. "Of course you already did." She really should of realized that. "Eh... It's probably better this way. We don't know what's happened to the original us, at least I know Hinoke will keep my parents from doing anything... brash."

Then shakes her head sharply to dismiss the thoughts. "But enough about that!"
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "Yeah best to focus on the here and now humm?" If they are copies there were new idenities waiting there for them after all. If that was the case was it not owed to the orginals to live this life out in full? Or if they were the orginals? Either way Gwen is Gwen in her head. "Yeah like trying to take it off and frying your brain."
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba turns enough to shake a finger jokingly at Gwen. "I said enough about that!" Even if that is precisely what she meant.

She leans back against the counter again, tilting her head a bit to look skyward. "I just need to figure out what to do next. Still quite haven't gotten the levels back to go out into the more dangerous places to explore."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "I was at cap, I'm slowly climbing back up. Damn it I miss grand cross." She makes a face at that, given she'd often have Shiruba kite mass groups of moms to then hit with that ability. "It seems most people other than Scale are settling in to our new home."
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

"Yeah." Shiruba shrugs. "I mean, investigating the tower is important.... but I don't buy that it's the way to 'solve' this problem." She makes a face. "Or if this is even a 'problem'... But it's easier to just keep an eye on them, and be prepared to clean up after them, than start a massive fissure between the Alliances trying to stop them. We know a Calamity Wave is going to happen after every boss fight, so we just need to know where and minimalized the harm they do."
Gwen

Gwen says "If I was making it, this would be a big time gate and recall what the old man said. Someone or someones was using this power for ill ends. They might want the tower to be conquired. Look what happens every time we clear a floor." She notes with a concerned look on her face. "Look who knows what's going to happen, there's still the matter of Glass when she shows up. She's a lander with an Adventurer Icon. Is the world trying to push back against the Scale and what they are doing?"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

"Maybe? Maybe the follow-up events were part of the new content but the catastrophe corrupted them? We don't know." Shiruba doesn't really have anything else she can add to that train of thought at the moment. SHe drums her fingertips on the counter. "So business is going good for you here? And the resturant?"
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "Its doing well here I need to hire some people to produce some of the more basic things I keep in stock at this point so I can focus on more major projects that require more work and attention, right? Or I'll be the sock queen forever."
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba laughs a bit. "Well you know who to ask when it comes to finding materials, but I can't help much with the actual crafting. But that's good. Some familiar things in this world will help people to cope with the situation."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "I couldn't stand medival Japanese undergarments after a week of it myself." She smirks and pauses pushing a plat of dumpling out on the counter. "That's what I'm helping on some basics and maybe we can get the Landers interested as well."
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

"As long as chainmail bikini is just the -name-," Shiruba emphasizes. "And they seem to take to the resturants as much as Adventurers do. Clothing might just take longer for them to realize it's better?" There is no 'if they do'. Shiruba is already convinced by this point that they're more than simple automated programs. They may not be completely self aware the way Adventurers are, but they... do things that are more than just a script of code. Like that rat training merchant, who finally just left town (thank the Goddesses!).

Idly she takes a dumpling and starts munching on it. It's probably the start of a bribe but we've just come to expect that from Little Miss Elder Tailor.
Gwen

Gwen says "Oh I'll be waring that when I hire someone to do the new sign I got to model for it. As for the restruant it's doing pretty well it's drawing a lot of people sick of menu cooking who are more than willing to pay. We're also helping to train more people in how to actually cook.":
Shiruba

"As long as you're doing it yourself." Shiruba keeps munching on dumplings in between comments. "By the way, thanks again for the coat. It was handy to have before spring started to roll in here."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen pauses for a moment and will pull out a package she'll hand to Shiruba and grins. "Glad it's working out and with all the deserts we're crawling through as of late I think you might need this." Oh no she was waiting for this very moment to give this outfit to Shiruba.
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba stops mid-bite and just eyes the package. Then rolls her eyes the other way. "Can I finish eating so I don't get it all dirty first?"
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "Yes you can wait I just wanted to make sure you got it!"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba shoves the rest of the dumpling in her mouth. And helps herself to one more just to make sure this is worth it, before she licks her fingers clean. Then takes the package and starts to open it. "And to make sure you get to see me in it at least once." She pauses in unwrapping to waggle a finger. "I know how you work by this point." Yet keeps letting herself get talked into these things. Go figure.
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "If you didn't like it on some level, you'd not even accept the food." She grins as she sits back to wait. "If you like I could costume chage myself into my own version if you like. We should show Uta at some point too!"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba huffs, her cheeks puffing out cutely for a moment. Her tail does a better job of expressing the moment as it swats back and forth a few times. "Don't try to make it sound like you're not taking advantage of my soft spot for proper food." But with that she gets the package open. And knowing she's not going to get out until she does so, opens the menu to try it on.
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen for a moment smiles. "Maybe I am but you could just walk away." Gwen sounds like she's quoting some western movie of some sort with how she says that last bit. She then looks for a moment to get her menus. "I'll be a moment would you like somewhere private to change?"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba snorts softly. Waggles a finger as if about to hit a command, which she probably is on the menu. "It's not like I have to actually get naked."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen smirks for a moment and Gwen grins. "All right then." Shell move to make ready to hit a command and will trigger the outfit change the moment Shiruba does it. "HENSIN!"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba laughs a bit, and joins in on the geekery. "HENSHIN!" Really it's not far off from an anime costume change since the menu commands do swap one for the other, and after a brief flicker in view as it does so Shiruba is standing in a very Arabian Knights inspired outfit. "... Not as bad off as I was worried you'd make it."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen grins as she's in a green themed version of the outfit. "Hey it works, right." She twirls about in the ouftit as she changes into her own Arabian Knights outfit. "Just all the outfits I can play with here ona whim and I can pull most of them off!"
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba gives the top a tug to adjust it even though it's not really necessary. She's just being a little self-concious. "I'm still not use to actually having the kind of figure to make an outfit like this... attractive."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "Well maybe we can work on that a bit if you like? Nothing wrong with being confient in yourseldf my dear wolf!" She hopps over the counter and rises up to join her friend. "At least Morri isn't around..."
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba stops fussing with her outfit to peer at Gwen. "Work on that -how-?" Though yes, they're both fortunate Morri hasn't wandered into this situation.
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "Take some pride in who and what you are." She would be very afraid if her mother showed up with them like this. She'd get more ideas ons that would make Gwen flee like Shiruba would.
Shiruba
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Shiruba turns and waggles a finger at Gwen with a bit of a smirk. "That's what, not how."
Gwen
Alne - Chain Mail Bikini + 1

Gwen says "Well maybe be slightly more darring in how you dress normally or wear my creations more trust me I want you to feel and look awesome!" Gwen is being totally honest here with her motives it seems.
