Greetings, fellow Displaced. This is Garak, your resident tailor and clothier.

You may have noticed that your wardrobe or look is particularly lacking here when you’re used to wearing things that are a little more.. Fashionable Or perhaps you’d simply like your look to work for you instead of against you. Maybe, in fact, you know nothing about how to look your best and you would like some help.

Well. You’re in luck. Maisel happens to be an expert with cosmetics and together we’ve opened a shop. Please come by for a consultation, or simply ask questions here and we can give at least basic advice.

Finally, someone with a valuable service to provide here.

[ He's been living off clothes stolen from one-night stands and what he could find that wasn't absolutely atrocious. ]

[plainsimple]

Precisely. We may not be able to go back home, but we certainly don't need to look like we're cast adrift on the seas of the multiverse! We can take some care at the very least, have some pride!

[kinkprofessor]

That's what I've been saying. Just because we've been temporarily relocated doesn't mean we have to dress like lost, unfortunate plebians. [ FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO GETS IT ]

I'd be happy to support your business in whatever ways I can.

[plainsimple]

Please, do come by.

[He sends the shop's address through the chip.]

I would enjoy meeting another like-minded individual. I fear even the person I arrived with lacks in any taste; we're much too few and far in between.

[ofmyth]

i wish you both well, it is good to see that many of us are able to use our skills here

[ since you clearly can't fight if you're a tailor, sorry. it isn't your fault you decided to sew instead of stab ]

the clothes you make, are they the extravagant sort, or do you make the everyday kind as well

[plainsimple]

[If only Thor knew.]

I make practical clothing as well. I have a great deal of experience in practical clothing for humans, and I can make it fit well and look flattering, rather than a great deal of what people simply yank on around here.

Garak is an absolute dream, especially if what you want is unique.

[ Generally speaking, Maine doesn't give a single fuck about his wardrobe. But there's one question worth asking: ]

Can you help tall person blend in?

@torvan.garak

[plainsimple]

We can try paler shades, things that are inauspicious that work with your skin tone so as to make you less intimidating if that's the area of concern. Softer cuts can help as well.

@torvan.garak

[plainsimple]

Why thank you, my dear. I'll always appreciate your vote of confidence.

[bloodbathing]

[ Maine isn't surprised to find that he doesn't follow all of that. ]

"Softer cuts"?

[plainsimple]

The shape of an outfit, its profile, can make a significant difference on how the outfit itself and the person within is read. Please, come by. I can demonstrate.

[bloodbathing]

All right. When's good time?

[plainsimple]

Anytime today. No one has made an appointment, though we are getting a little foot traffic.

[ofmyth]

are we able to come and see examples of your work?

[ thor isn't really one for style, but he knows what he likes ]

[ofmyth]

i don't care so much for unique as for quality

[plainsimple]

Of course! I have several pieces on mannequins already, precisely for that reason. I would never expect someone to simply trust that my work is quality without seeing it.

[kinkprofessor]

Oh, how unfortunate. But of course, I'll stop by at my earliest convenience.

Is clothing your only artistic avenue or do you have other outlets?

[plainsimple]

I have been known to garden, and I enjoy literature. What of you?

[bloodbathing]

Roger.

[ He'll be there soon. ]

[ofmyth]

then i will come to visit your shop sometime and see what is on offer

[plainsimple]

I will eagerly await your visit.

[kinkprofessor]

I practice poetry.
I like to collect seashells, too. Is there a beach near here? I haven't had the chance to explore much outside the main city so far.

[plainsimple]

I believe there are a great many beaches on the planet. I'm not entirely certain whether or not we're near any. Earth geography is far from my strong suit.

[kinkprofessor]

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat.
It was never a plant of much interest to me.

[plainsimple]

You're also not from Earth?

[kinkprofessor]

Oh, heavens no!
I'm from Zenith. I realize though that might not mean anything to people here though.

[plainsimple]

As I'm not familiar with Zenith I'll assume Cardassia is unfamiliar to you as well.

[kinkprofessor]

Unfortunately, no.
I may have heard of it at some point but without Zenith's codex of information on other worlds, it isn't quite something I recognize off the top of my head.
But it's nice to meet a fellow alien here.

[plainsimple]

I'm not an alien. I'm Cardassian.

But it is nice to make your acquaintance as well.
