Foolproof plan.

All of it.

The recent invigorated Erika was transforming her shop that she shared with Tsubomi. Her employees were running at full capacity.

And now, it was time.

Clad in a butler outfit, she threw the doors open and hoisted a megaphone which was basically just a rolled up paper. "Come one, come all, the Fairy Drop is having a sale! Now until the end of the month, we are having a sale on Butler and Maid outfits! Each one tailored to your own specifications if need be! Come shop the Fairy Drop!"

Whoop, customers. Who would have thought that there was tons of people who wanted an awesome outfit?

Comments

"Fashion is always permissible for a date!" Exclaimed Erika cheerfully as she places the one that looked like a tiara on.

It fits Erika, all too startlingly well. Like she was born for it honestly.

"Wow, miss, you look positively dazzling!" Lailah commented, admiring how Erika wore the tiara. "Perhaps you were royalty in a past life! What do you think, Edna?"

[terrorfirma]

"You'll need more of a deterrent than that," was her only comment about a date with Zaveid. Averting that crisis would be her next project, probably. And as she looked over the two of them, she considered Lailah's comment about the shopkeep, tilting her head to the side.

"I guess anything's possible." Like queen of the frivolous lace. Or princess of the pleats. Dutchess of the megaphone maybe?

"Hey," it was back to business, "don't you have anything that looks like those two together? Hers doesn't have the same tiara shape, but yours could use more flair. And ribbon. I don't want this person thinking I cheaped out."

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Of course, I can make the adjustments right now."

Erika picked up the nearby tiara-types and started to adjust them, adding ribbon and frill with gentle work with sewing needle. It was a really creative art in motion.

"This is a marvelous shop, I have to say." Lailah mused aloud. "Have you been in business for long?" May as well try to strike up some polite conversation. "Maybe after we're done here we can invite her to eat some sweets with us, Edna!"

[terrorfirma]

Edna peered over Erika's shoulder, watching as she worked, finally easing off when she thought the task was just about finished.

"I guess her taste isn't that bad," it was as close as she would probably come to a compliment, as well as endorsing Lailah's suggestion.

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"I've been in business for myself for about three months now," said Erika, working at the alterations with a deft hand and needle, addressing Lailah. "Though I've helped run a fashion boutique and made my own clothing since I was seven."

"And thanks," said Erika honestly to Edna. "I try. And there we go!" She held up the adjusted crown-like tiaras.

[ranoutofbugs]

"Wow, how beautiful!" Lailah chuckled, holding one up for Edna to see. "All I could do back in Glennwood was do equipment fusion! And it doesn't work here. Though I do have that Blacksmith job now..." She mused, more to herself than anyone else.

[terrorfirma]

Letting Lailah yammer on, Edna stood back and examined the handiwork, and after awhile... actually smiled. Maybe it was at the mental image she was conjuring of Mikleo's face when she made him put it on.

Yeah. This was gonna be good.

"I'll take it."

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Great! I'll go fold and bag these for you, wait right there! Coffret will help you at the till."

Coffret waved at the pair.

Michael the Moogle, Lailah's companion, was off doing his own thing and wound up getting tangled in some random fabrics. Luckily none of them seemed like they were actual clothes. "Oh, you naughty thing," Lailah chuckled. Turning to Edna, she continued her thought. "Moogles seem a bit similar to normin, don't they?"

good place to conclude??

[terrorfirma]

There was a nod from Edna, her business concluded, as she turned to leave and mad a gesture for Lailah to follow. She was quite proud of her acquisition, and would pay in mostly... change that was obviously picked up from the ground by the time she reached the till.

With her items in hand, she finally acknowledged her companion's comment, leaving the store with her words trailing off into the distance. Maybe there were similarities between the two, but she apparently felt the need to point out— "Their eyes don't bulge as much when they're squeezed, though. And so far I've only noted 25 transgressions, 12 areas to improve upon, and..."

Edna continued on her way out of the door, ready to get home and reveal her surprise.
