Today was an exquisite day. The sky was as beautiful and bright as your wildest dreams. The sun was shining as bright as it could. The cotton candy clouds drifted slowly south, the weather was cold and dry with a tiny bit of wind blowing kindly through the streets on Londonium. The bit of warmth the sun gave to Mitsuru's face was pleasant and wonderfully enjoyable. Winter had started taking back its realm who would ever say no to a bit of natural warmth ? He was strolling through the town until he reached a riverside. Earlier, he had seen a Tailor request on a board in the city and decided to pick it up. The request itself wasn't fairly difficult because it was for a level 1 which suited perfectly his current situation. Since the start of this full immersion, young Mitsu' was worried, how would he get out ? How would he live in this world ? He stayed at an inn in the beginning but thought that wouldn't be the right way to live. Wouldn't it be a waste to just wait in sorrow while tons of other things can be done ? Wouldn't be a waste to not discover and adventure through the world ? He thought it would and decided to follow this path from now on.

"So, where do I need to go ? I think I'm going to be late..."

And so he decided to speed up his pace. The trees had lost every single leaf and had gone bold. The pathway near the river was nice and only a few people where walking. He slid his hand through the air and brought up the Area map. The dot of the rendez-vous area was bright orange on his map and he wasn't far.

He was finally in front of the door, he clenched his right fist and knocked gently on the door which opened upon the hit. He peeked through the small vertical opening before whispering "Hello ?", no one answered. Enthusiast and joyful as always he pushed the door and stepped in which a large smile and cheerfully spoke out.

"Is there anyone here ?! I'm here for the tailor request. I saw it on the board !"

He smiled and waited while starting to visit the entrance of the house. It was a little an cozy home and the setting was wonderful. Mitsu felt warmth engulf his entire body. This was indeed a nice place to live. He slid once again his finger through the air and checked out the recipe named "Vanity Clothing". As it was mentioned by pioneers you had to make it yourself and not just by using the system.

He then heard a noise and gently turned his head towards that direction with a smile.

“Greetings my dear chap, how was your journey? I hope you brought your own materials, as I don’t have any tailor equipment here.” Bailin welcomed the fellow into his house, opening the ‘admitted to the premises’- menu to let the chap in. “Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of moderate wealth and taste. My name is Bailin, pleased to make your acquaintance. Would you grace me with your name? “

“Anyway, welcome to my humble home, I know it’s rather empty but home is home. Just a warning: Try to avoid that room.” Bailin said as he pointed towards the laboratory. “It’s the lab where one of my friends does his alchemical stuff, so unless you want to get stuck in a genetic experiment… stay away from there.” Bailin winked.


“There’s the bathroom, that’s the bedroom, neither has much but it’s something I guess. The empty space we’re standing in is the living room and that over there is the kitchen.” Bailin pointed out to the individual rooms as he named them, making sure the tailor knew which room would be where, as to avoid him getting lost or in the worst case… caught up in one of Nostro’s experiments.


“Let us continue the tour, to make sure you won’t get lost too much or killed or appointed as a volunteer for experimentation.” Bailin winked, pointing towards the garage and smithy; “That door leads to the garage and smithy, it’s where I spend most of my time if not in the garden. Speaking of which: the garden is more like a trench with a hill of dirt. I think it wouldn’t be wise to enter the garden with the nice clothing you’re here to make.” Bailin laughed slightly at the image of fancy-pant-folk walking through his muddy trench.


“Alright then, now that you have a general idea of the premises, let’s get down to business, shall we? I require a set of fancy clothes for a party.” He stated grinning. “As for what I’d like: I love the Hussar clothing style, preferably a black cloth with black embroidery. The length would differ from the original though, as a normal Hussar jacket would be waist length, but I’d prefer it to be like my current coat, so about halfway to my calf. However the embroidery and closed bit would be waist length. As for the collar I’d like it to be a stiff collar, being able to open and close it would be mandatory, I think something simple like two hooks would be fine, as long as they don’t show or cut my throat and such.” Bailin smiled as he described what he wanted to wear to the fancy party.


“Next would be the embroidery, I don’t like too much so simple straight, grey lines running from each button point would do. But please be certain to make them really darkish grey, nearly as black as the cloth you will be making the coat off. As for the cuffs, I think some twisting lines would be nice. On the left collar, near the angle I’d like to have a little skull with a gold crown slightly tilted on its head, if possible. If possible, please be sure that the crown is still a bit dark and not flashing, I’d prefer it to be subtle and not an eye catcher, but more of a subtle addition.” Bailin continued as he pointed to each respective portion of the clothes as he occasionally closed his eyes to picture what he had in mind.


“Well now, that’s the hard part. As for the trousers, just plain black cloth trousers will do, nothing fancy, if I’m being honest. Boots I still have and shoes are not my thing, so there’s no need to worry about those. I also hope I didn’t scare you off with a tall or too though an order.” Bailin smiled as he tried to gauge the tailor’s reaction to his request. “So, what do you say? Oh lest I forget: I will of course pay you for your services, so there is no need to worry about that. If you require me to serve as a manequin, just say it.”

OC: Hints for the jacket.
 
Think this style but with black stripes instead of white and a straight collar instead of a rounded one.

It's really a pity I can't draw XD but I'd say enjoy ;)

[Mitsuru Kirishima]

His red eyes focused upon the newly present man in front of him. He was tall, with ocean blue eyes and long black hair. He was taller than Mitsuru and the way he talked make him giggle. He was one funny guy. He then started by presenting himself, he was called Bailin and lived in a pretty dangerous place. Anyway we'll come to talk about that later on.

- "Would you grace me with your name ?" the man asked.

- "I'm Mitsuru ! Mitsuru Kirishima, but you can call me Mitsu' !" he looked pleased to meet someone and smiled. He then continued

- "The road to get here was peaceful and pretty. You live near a wonderful place, the river is calm and relaxing !"

The boy was silent while being introduced to the home, it was like Bailin was intending to sell the whole place to him or invite him more often. It didn't seem natural for someone to give so much detail just for a tailor to fill in a request. However, it was nice of him to do so and Mitsu felt more at home then fulfilling a request. His red eyes checked his HUD to get more information on the man his was talking to. He was a level 1 Human Warden. Mitsu didn't know much about the world yet but he had read about wardens disliking Heretics. Hopefully it wouldn't trigger any problems at the moment.

Anyhow, he was carefully listening to the person speaking. The details were sharp and Bailin was a man of taste. He knew exactly what he wanted and Mitsu could already picture him in such a disguise. As he was speaking, Mitsu took out a pencil from his pocket and a notepad and started drawing how he understood the outfit Bailin needed. As the details were given he continued sketching what he visualized. It wasn't as in real life, he couldn't do that in the true world, but someone in this game with this crafting class which he toke up he was able to lay out his mind on a paper. Mitsu was always that kind of kid extremely motivated and always trying to do his best.

When Bailin was finished explaining and finally asked him what he thought he answer honestly :

- "It's going to be fun ! What party are you attending if it's not a private matter ? I think you gave explicit details on what you wanted and I think I got the general idea of what you are waiting on."

He handed the notepad on which he sketched the ideas he had on the details given by Bailin. Hoping what he drew was going to satisfy Bailin's desires. Mitsu ran his fingers through his white hair to move a lock of hair which was in his vision. He was always smiling, he found a nice player apparently. Hopefully everything would go right, Mitsu added joyfully :

- "If possible while you check out the sketch I just gave you, I'd like to take measurements to get a good fit for you on the costume. Are you ok with me doing so ?"

He took out one of those flexible tailor rulers and showed it to Bailin with a childish smile.

“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mitsu. It’s nice to hear you enjoyed your trip to my humble home. Thank you, it is indeed a nice and relaxing place to be, though you should avoid the lab and garden for those are not so relaxing, like I said.” Bailin said, agreeing with the compliment and thanking Mitsu for it.


“What party, my dear Mitsu, it’s the Winter ball! Surely you are going, I’m pretty certain you could get a year worth of orders from there once you tell people you’re a tailor. If you were unaware of the party, why don’t you join me?” Bailin proposed, starting to assume he was one of those newcomers Kitty had mentioned when he himself was a newcomer. ‘So I guess she was right, people could still be dragged into this without us even knowing. It’s an interesting concept but it’s something for later and smarter folk than me to discuss.’ He thought to himself.


Taking the sketches Mitsu handed him, Bailin started to inspect the drawn designs. “The trousers are fine, thank you. The coat… I have my doubts, I like the style but the collar is too rounded on the outer jacket, but perhaps if you take the collar from the shirt… that would be great. Same goes for the embroidery running from the buttons, however I’d still prefer the stripes, they should also be easier to make.” Bailin said smiling. “Lastly I love the design on the arms, so that’s a yes it can definably stay.”


Giving back the notepad Bailin looked at the ruler and slightly shocked he asked: “What are you planning on doing with that? I don’t mind if you take my measurements, but please lose that creepy smile while you’re holding that ruler… it’s more or less freaking me out.”

After hearing Bailin he stop smiling, he was the kind of person who disliked putting other people bad at ease. He bowed and asked for pardon which seemed to be given straight away. He then incorporated the ideas of Bailin into his sketches after a few quick modifications. He glanced at the final sketch and smiled .

- "This is going to look great. You have good taste sir !"

He started taking measurement with the tailoring ruler even though he felt unease because of the previous situation which was misunderstood. While noting down every single measurement he added melancholy :

- "A winter ball ? That reminds me of a lot of things on the other side... I'll give it a thought, thank you for your invitation. It could be tons of fun !"

Even though the tone in his voice seemed sad he kept a solid smile while writing on the notepad. He then turned his head towards Bailin after approximately 30 minutes of measurements. His red pupils stared at his blues eyes and then looked away.

-"I' ll start making the outfit. It will be ready soon. Please feel free to do what ever you want. I'll leave it on the table when it's finished !"

Tailoring in this world was much easier but you still had to do it hand, but it was kind of like knowing how to do so already. It was much faster than in real life. He started doing his work peacefully while humming a song he had heard earlier. Slowly but surely it was starting to look like an outfit. He added the collar which was intended and then started to add the embroidery which he had drawn earlier. He then incorporated the crowns as well as the buttons and stripes to be able to close the jacket. He finished by sewing everything together tightly. The trousers were the easy part and required almost no time. Just black clothing put together. Everything was looking pretty nice and neat. Mitsu added the little details to the outfit.

He finally jump up in joy "Ahhhhh ! It's finished ! I'm sooo happy ..! It's time for ice cream !"
He left a little piece of paper saying :"Enjoy your outfit. See you at the Winter Ball maybe. ^-^"
Mitsu then proceeded to quit the house and run to the city center and go buy an ice cream. It was cold outside. But something felt warm, was it meeting someone in this world and being able to be helpful ? He didn't know but felt satisfied of this day. The cold was blowing right in his face but he still just wanted an ice cream. Isn't that strange ? He thought Bailin was a strange but nice folk, he spoke in a funny manner. He giggle and continued running through the streets.
