Second Parasol [Video]

[Amelia frowns severely into the camera as she leans lightly on her parasol. ]

I have located an apartment in this town of Discedo.  If one can apply that term to such a place.

Good Gad!  I have lived in tombs that were more suited for human habitation than this!

I have no intention of allowing this state of affairs to continue.  If someone can

Mm...I'm not a seamstress, but I-I'm able to mend rips and tears.

[onthesandbank]

I have no talent for it, myself. Rips and tears I can mend. The number of shirts my husband and son have ruined...

But I digress. I find I have need for more clothing than what I arrived with and little idea of how to go about remedying the problem.

[verdantventure]

You have a husband and son...?

Ah, well there may be some things in the shops around town. I haven't been out to look myself, but...if there are places with food, then there must be places with clothing as well.

[Amelia comes from 1901. Ready-made clothing isn't something common.

[onthesandbank]

I do. I am married to Radcliffe Emerson, the greatest egyptologist of this or any other age.

Some cloth would be helpful. If necessary I suppose I can use my current clothing as a pattern.

Giving into fear isn't very productive.

[onthesandbank]

Perhaps by that time I will have a presentable place to visit.

You make clothes Amelia-san?

[Video]

[onthesandbank]

Very badly, I'm afraid. I can sew on buttons and mend small tears. My husband and son have given me more than enough practice in that area.

But if no one here has any talent in that area, then it seems I must make the attempt.

I think there's some clothing stores in Discedo so there's less worry.

[onthesandbank]

I'm sorry. Clothing stores?

[She pronounces the phrase like she had never heard it before.]

[fragrancy]

Good luck with that.

[video]

[onthesandbank]

I don't put much stock in luck.

[fragrancy]

This might not be a bad place to start.

[onthesandbank]

Luck is the last refuge of the foolish.

[crotchroses]

[In French:] I have talent with sewing, mademoiselle!

[onthesandbank]

[Amelia swiftly replies in accented French.]

It is good to see that somewhere here has that skill.

[crotchroses]

We would surely be in a sorry state more than we already were if none of us had any proper skills.

What is it you need assistance with?

[onthesandbank]

There are many people in this world with no skills of any kind.

I arrived in this place with only one set of clothing. I should like to bargain for additional sets.
