>>136362Amber leads the mare back to the counter to ring up the bill.
>>136363Before Amber can ring up the total, she brings out a small baggie with the old Equestrian coinage in it. It comes out to 23 bits, which she slides over.
>>136364Amber stares at the coinage, quickly thinking to herself.
Miss Sewn didn't mention customers using old coins, did she? Maybe I have to ask her... Also, is it numerically enough for the items?
>>136365High Sewn had previously mentioned something about items purchased with the old currency being secretly cheaper. It appears that the total cost of the items as listed is 25 bits.
>>136366Confident in her memory, then, Amber makes the transaction.
"Safe travels on your trip," she says with a smile.
>>136367She nods, not smiling nor saying anything, and takes the set of clothing, loading it into a paper bag and leaving
>>136368Amber secures the bits in the cash register, makes whatever notes are necessary and resumes waiting.

"Mr. Universe. Please, roll a death saving throw."
[1d20 = 10]
I might not have much time this week to play, but I hope that we can pick back up soon.
>>136372And it... looks like the Universe broke even
>>136373Hopes >>136326Silver, interested, leans forward in his seat.
"Tell me more!"
Can't play right now, finishing something urgent and on top of that I'm dizzy for no reason.
Every single one of you are cute ponies.
>>136531Yes, but just a visitor observing, not playing.
Sorry.
>>136532Take heart, the game will go on
>t. Not involved, but GM is known to me and I speak with assurancethat's more than disingenuous, and I apologize. Im also Brie's player, and let me assure you that GM pays very close attention, and caters to all in time >>136532>>136533Well, if you ever think maybe you wanna play you always can.
In any case, nice to see there are observers
>>136369The mare takes the items and leaves the store. High Sewn, watching the whole interaction, looks at the mare suspiciously.
One transaction down
>>136536Amber remembers to pick up the oversized clothing left behind and put it away on the right shelf.
>>136537The next mere to come in looks to be smaller, but also looks towards the sweaters and winter clothing. She has said nothing thus far.
>>136539Amber smiles happily and trots over to the mare.
"Hello! What are you looking for?" >>136540She turns around startled, and smiles awkwardly
“I was just... well, I wanted to get something for the winter, but...”
She looks around, then back to Amber
“I thought I’d get something
stylish”
She places a hoof forward as she emphasizes the last word
“You know, to celebrate my new job and all. Maybe find a stallion.”
>>136541Amber mulls this over for a second.
"Okay!" she says excitedly.
"What did you have in mind?" >>136542“I... don’t know”
She smiles widely, but very much awkwardly
“I’ve never been stylish before”
>>136543"I'm no expert, but I think stallions like colors that go with your mane, coat, or eyes, and clothes that fit you snugly. Or so I've read." A slight blush tints her cheeks.
>>136544“Uh”
She lifts her leg up, and peaks forward, as if into a closer and secret room
“What do you have?”
And she looks back to Amber, and smiles again in an awkward but less toothy smile
“In the lower price range, eh heh”
>>136545"Mmm, I think maybe a dress might be best. We have different ones for all sorts of occasions, but also some that can be worn in most weather. Like mine, but more current." She giggles quietly and leads the mare into the appropriate section.
>>136546Probably a majority of the space in the store is taken up by female formal attire; the fancier items are in the front, so that the two have to walk past them as they go. Some of the items looks as if they could be on the racks at the Carousel Boutique, or worn at the Opera House. The mare looks at them with awe, knowing she may never wear them. When they get to the back the items are almost disappointing after what came before, yet they still hold a sort of grandeur to them, with intricate lacing and soft colors, especially blues, that are usually simple but certainly effective.
>>136547gasps >>136548Amber looks to the dresses with a certain sense of longing herself, but she keeps her attention focused on the customer.
"Does anything catch your eye?" >>136549"Yes... This one"
She picks out a sky blue dress with green and dark blue frills at the bottom. It's not entirely clear that it's a cold weather dress, as it looks to be rather thin, more likely silk than wool.
>>136550"It looks very nice, but I think it's for warmer weather or indoor occasions." Amber touches the fabric with the frog of her hoof.
"Feel that?
It's silk: light and airy, but not warm at all." >>136551She lightly rubs her hoof against it, smiling, and looking mystified.
"Huh? Oh... Yeah"
>>136552Amber looks for a dress of a similar style but of different material.
"Let's see if there's one a bit warmer." >>136553There's a larger, fuller dress that curls in rather than out at the bottom with no frills. It's a slightly darker shade of blue. This one must be cotton or wool
>>136554Amber gestures the mare over.
"This one looks good! Want to try it on for size?" >>136555"Ooh" She looks down at it, then takes it out, placing it against her. It looks somewhat large against her body, but appropriately so. After a pause, she says
"Why not"
>>136556Amber leads the pony to the fitting room and waits patiently, looking toward the entrance in case there are any new customers.
>>136557High Sewn herself stands by at the counter. The mare comes out after some minutes, wearing the dark dress
"How do I look?" She says, smiling. The dress is not tailored for her specifically, and thus is perhaps a little large, but there is no doubt that it has at least some sense of style and formality to it.
>>136559"Oh, great! Well, no... I don't think so at least. Maybe it would be nice to have one for more regular use and one for more formal wear, you know. More special occasions" She smiles in a strange sort of way, like she thinks she is implying something
Fantasy Play craves and wants your attention. This is bad. She needs to learn that the world doesn't circle around her.
Discipline her!!!!1111
>>136574Oh, we can discipline her alright
