[today on the network, there's a video of a purple-haired woman, looking impeccably styled and made up as usual. she'll clear her throat and wave to the camera before speaking up]

Hello, Asgard! If we haven't met already, my name is Rarity, and I do hope we'll all get along nicely! I hope all of you are settling in nicely since your arrival.

However, today I am not just here to introduce myself. I have a very important question!

Might anyone be familiar with the process of acquiring some real estate outside of the rooms we are given in our Houses? I am familiar with how to do so in Ponyville, but I assume acquiring any sort of establishment here may be a bit different! You see, I would rather like to open my boutique here, if possible ... !

[she sighs, wistfully recalling the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville, where everything had been set up just the way she liked -- her studio, her shelves, the counter, the fitting room ... but she'll shake it off, and clasp her hands together with a smile]

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Well, assuming I could acquire a location for it! I would prefer not to run a shop out of my own bedroom, it's rather unprofessional ...

[audio forever *A*]

[occulthymns]

Mm! I see!

I'm not sure how you'd find a place, but I think you might be able to get a discount if you open it in the same district your house is in.

Do you think so? I think such a store would be most appreciated within Freyr as it is, but that does sound promising!

[occulthymns]

[And Freyr is right next to Freya which means it'd be easy for her to walk over *A*~]

Yeah! And I know a few people who have opened their own businesses, so it can't be that hard.

[shares]

Really? Would you happen to know the names of any of them so that I might contact them directly?

[occulthymns]

Yuri Petrov runs a tea shop, and Lucifer is going to be opening a lounge in a day or two.

[shares]

All right, thank you very much, Euri! I will be sure to contact them personally.

[occulthymns]

No problem! And you have to make a big announcement when you're going to open.~ [She'll have to start ordering things, and she's definitely going to take Vanitas for a style makeover B)]

[shares]

Oh, yes, of course! I think I shall see if I can't find a printer to make me a flyer.

[occulthymns]

Good idea! - Hey, you can design guy's clothes too, right?

[shares]

I admit, it is not my specialty, but yes, I can! I have already made Kaz a suit, and Cheriour an ensemble.

[occulthymns]

That's gr -

[Wait, what. Did she hear that right?]

... Kaz? Did he ask you, or did he offer?

[shares]

Oh, I offered! It was to thank him for his kindness when I had just arrived.

[occulthymns]

What did he do?

[shares]

I fell in the mud when I was still learning to walk properly, and he helped me up.

[occulthymns]

... That was pretty nice of him. [She's surprised.]

Do you know if he's worn it yet?

[shares]

Well, I saw him put it on in order to try it on for a fitting; I am not sure if he has worn it anywhere else.

[occulthymns]

How did he look in it??

[shares]

Oh, he looked quite dapper! You ought to ask him to show it to you.

[Filtered]

[occulthymns]

[Ohmygod dapper. Euri isn't sure if she'll end up making fun of him or making out with him.]

I should make him wear it to the Lux opening! That place is definitely suit-worthy.

[Filtered]

[shares]

Oh, is that soon? I had heard about it briefly ...

[Filtered forever]

[occulthymns]

It's tomorrow evening, actually. You should go! It's going to be really classy and I'm going to be singing.

[shares]

Oh, I would love to attend, then!

[occulthymns]

Great! I'm sure Kaz is coming, since he likes my singing, and I invited a couple other people I know.

[shares]

Wonderful! I'm sure it will be quite lovely. I would offer to make you something to wear, but I'm afraid there might not be enough time to make something suitable ...
