VIDEO / ACTION FOR GOLDENROD

[ Rarity is standing in front of a display of clothing. If you've spoken with her about commissions recently, you may see your item up there. ]

I'm happy to report that the Mobile Carousel Boutique is open for business! I've spent some time getting materials, constructing commissioned pieces, designing new pieces, and just generally being very busy, but I've done just about everything I can think of to prepare for the Grand Opening! If you have any specific fashion desires, do not hesitate to ask!

Oh, and there are a few people I already need to speak to, of course. Shaun? Pinkie?...


[ Rarity may be found in the streets of Goldenrod, getting new supplies, eating at an outdoor cafe, or just generally schmoozing with the social life. She belongs in the city, after all. ]

[Shaun greets his friend with a smile.]

Hi, Miss Rarity!

Are you opening a whole clothing store yourself?

[mayushiii]

So I take you're a seamstress too? How nice!

(Video)

[bestofthebest]

(She's grinning, mostly due to the first half of Rarity's conversaion. Mobile? Never thought that day would come!)

Sweet! So, when is the grand opening for the Boutique anyway?

_{[Ralph seems really wore out, but he's still happy for Rarity.]}

Hey, congrats on the shop.

[Note to self: this is who to ask if his Robin costume gets raggedy.]

How mobile is mobile? Confined to the cities, or...?

_{[Rarity, it's your lucky day! Because this tall elderly man walking down the street is ~royalty~. Jack is taking a break from working on his house and taking his Houndour, One, out for a walk. When he passes by the cafe Rarity is currently at, he decides to stop. One instantly wraps his leash around Jack's legs. He tries to ignore it.]}

Excuse me! Would you recommend this place? I don't think I've tried this cafe before.

[If ever there was a reason to get to Goldenrod faster, this is it. Perona's eyes light up like jack-o-lanterns when she sees the luxurious and details garments on display. Most of them weren't her style, yes, but she cant argue this lady has true talent when it comes to sewing and designing clothes. And, best of all, she takes commissions! It'd mean spending some money, but uuugh, so worth it if the price was right! Perona needs better traveling clothes.]

Weeeh~! What beautiful clothes! Will you be staying where you are for some time? Oh, I'd love to have some new clothes in my own style, but I wouldn't be able to pick them up for quite some time...

Oh wow! Those look amazing, Rarity! [Chances are, John probably caught a glimpse of some of them as works in progress when he oh so rudely poofed in on Rarity a couple months ago, but actually seeing the finished products? So much better.]

[Also did you know it's possible to go from looking like you're twelve to looking like you're sixteen in a matter of two months? Because apparently it is, since John is a little taller and much less chubbier than he was when he and Rarity first met. His face doesn't have the same childish look to it that it once did, but those teeth and those glasses are unmistakable.]

And congratulations on the shop, as well!

[artofthestress]

Why, yes! Carousel Boutique two point oh, if you will.

Are you still in Goldenrod, dear?

video

[artofthestress]

I am much more than a simple seamstress, darling. I am an artist!

(Video)

[artofthestress]

This... is the opening, actually. Ah... since it's mobile, I can't exactly cut a ribbon.

[video]

[artofthestress]

Why, thank you, Ralph! I would really like to get your measurements next time we...

[ She peers at his image. ] Ah... are you feeling all right, dear?

[artofthestress]

Johto's and Kanto's convenient mail delivery system means that the Boutique has no confines. Unless what you want is, ah. Particularly big. But even then I believe I'll manage somehow!

[ Rarity is daintily sipping a cup of coffee when the man approaches. Goodness, but he looks important! She rises and curtsies. ]

Oh, I quite enjoy it here. The coffee is above average, but the ambience is superb. Would you care to join me?

[Video]

[artofthestress]

I've spent some time here, and may be rejoining my friends at some point. But I can have items delivered to you if you like! If you'll come in for measurements and a consultation... I do have quite a bit of time in my schedule...

(Video)

[bestofthebest]

(She blinks in confusion, figuring for a brief moment that she could use her powers to find one and cut it. And then it hits her.)

Eheh, nothing's stoppin' you from buying one and cutting it. Sorry I can't be there for the big opening.

(At least Spike's with her.)

[Video]

[neededlassie]

That's so cool! Do you have lots of customers yet?

Yeah, I am.

video;

[artofthestress]

Why thank you, John! Perhaps you'd like to -

[ Stops. This is the same time in as many hours when she's had to take a second look at who she's talking to, to realize they're not quite how she expected. ]

Oh! Pardon me, sir. I thought I was speaking with your brother. Those teeth must run in the family.

[action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Here's your first in-person customer.]

[A little after seeing the video go out, it so happens that Blake runs into Rarity as he's walking down the street, trailed by his Snubbull. His shirt is torn and singed at the cuff, and there's a streak of mud across his torso, drying in the sun.]

Hey.

I could, uh, use a shirt.

[video]

[rocketralph]

It's been a crummy couple a' days. Where'd you decide to set up shop?

[action]

[quickattackjack]

Delighted! One would you please--ONE!

_{[The Houndour lurches forward to put his paws up on Rarity in a happy greeting and jerks Jack's feet out from under him. There are reasons he's never bothered evolving the dog. Jack quickly picks himself up and resigns to calling One back to his poke'ball before sitting down.]}

I'm very sorry. He's just...excitable. I thought walking him more often would spend some of that energy but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

[mayushiii]

Oooh, so you paint and stuff too?

[Yeah that went way over her head.]

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Congratulations, Rarity. It looks like all your hard work has paid off.

[Though she really does have to wonder about one thing.]

How did you manage to make an entire mobile boutique, though?

Video

[naive_nature]

Rarity, congratulations! Um, you wouldn't happen to sell disguises, would you? Something that would make me unrecognizable?

[Awesome, awesome. He knows enough about his own specifics that he'd be able to inform her well ahead of time, and with Hatshepsut to supplement trainer battles, if he just gets started on the Gym challenge, he'd be happy to offer extra compensation.

He switches tactics, taking on more of the genial, questioning tone Clark Kent likes to use for news interviews.]

So I can imagine you're really excited by the prospect of reaching the ever-more widespread potential clientele of the Johto-Kanto area. Are you hoping for any kind of challenge?
