Who: Makie and you?
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Windrose
When: 27th April.

[It's her first time on the network since she got here months ago. She's not much for being sociable, but hey. Makie has a couple of needs to be met.]

I'm looking to hire a seamstress. If you have experience with Japanese attire, that would be better, but I can provide my own clothing for reference. [She's from the 18th century and there's a distinct dearth of kimono out here in the middle of space, okay. Her one outfit can only go so far and it's already had to survive one dimensional hellhole.]

I'm also curious as to whether there are any swordsmiths or equivalent among us. If so, I'd like to discuss a commission.

Thank you.

[Speaking of said kimono, it's washing day. She's clad only in the patterned red hiyoku usually worn under her purple kimono, and while she washes it in the privacy of the bathroom by hand, she can be found hanging it out to try in the cargo bay. It's not as voluminous as some as her sleeves are kept very short, but it's nice to have the extra space. Makie will stay nearby, looking hopefully for any answers on the network and drinking her tea. As always.]

[Diiid somebody say sweets and baking? Because somepony's pretty hungry after figuring out the engine and the comm all day.]

La lala la la-- [Oh, hey it's Qing and-- HEY it's Makie!] Hey, Makie!!! When'd you get here, nice to meet you in person! Qing, you didn't tell me she was coming over, OR that you and Makie were friends!

[Pinkie, it JUST happened, why would he tell any of that?]

[Any answer she was about to give-- she'll happily take a sweet bun, if only becuase it balances out the tea-- is derailed at the appearance of Pinkie Pie by the door. UHH...]

Oh, we've... only met today. [That disconcerted rabbit look is back again. Dealing with a pony in person is a whole new adjustment.]

...hello, Pinkie Pie. [Manners.]

[Ah. Qing looks up and offers a smile, waving a hand.]

We just met, that's true. Makie asked me to create a kimono for her. I was meeting her here to take her measurements.

[He sets down the two cups, then. Sorry Makie, this is my new normal.]

Oh nice! Well, that's great! I tried to see if I could make her her weapon, but it's REALLY complicated!

[She's just rolling with all the weird these days.]

I appreciate that you tried, though.

I spoke to Pinky Pie earlier today as well. [She picks up the two cups and tilts her head, glancing back.] Do you also drink tea?

[Ponies apparently eat candy, so...]

[Weird is the new normal, orange is the new black, etc.]

Ah, it seems fairly common for such things to happen. Usually shared meetings less so. [He looks amused, and still stands, prepared to grab another cup for Pinkie.]
