[Coughs, standing up very straight and proper for the camera.]

Good evening. I'm Arthur Kirkland, for those who have not met me directly, and I am looking for a few volunteers.

You see, I am looking to start a business venture in the reasonably new future, a tailor's shop for the fleet. For those of us who might want something to wear that's a little closer to home, and neither the fleet's offerings or whatever one finds when we settle in orbit.

So, in order to get started, I'll need a few models to work off of. Of course, I'm not asking for your time for free. I'd be willing to create one additional outfit free of charge for whoever works with me. Preferably, I would like four volunteers, in a reasonable mix of men and women.

Please contact me to inquire about volunteering or with questions. Thank you.

(While Alisaie is fond of her clothes, it is tiresome to wash the same stuff over and over again, especially when it's coated in oils from working on the ship. Becoming an engineer has created a new set of problems for her, and problems need solving. So while she doesn't know this guy, the prospect of getting free clothes just for standing around sounds a bit too ideal.)

Well met, Arthur. How would you like a volunteer that has an identical brother that she might be able coerce into helping out as well? (She didn't even ask Alphinaud about this. Hopefully he's not watching!

And if he is, then he better get her something nice to wear soon lest he ends up playing dress up alongside her.)

[Hm, it'd put him over his originally planned four, but... He does need another woman, and twins could make a very striking advertizing photo.]

I think that would work out very well, miss.

(Never to fear, it isn't as if he'll have to compensate the brother: the true payment is making his darling sister smile and look cute. It's his role as her brother to look out for her and if that means indulging in a little dress-up so that she can dress-up as a lady should, then well. Shouldn't he? That's what she'll say at least.)

Truly? (Alisaie is a bit surprised by this only because she thought she would have to really work her way in there. She's not the best at diplomacy (that's Alphinaud's forte), so she's quite pleased with herself.)

That's great!

[That is a proper reward, agrees. He's never had any sisters but can imagine it's not far off from dealing with the daughters of his leaders and his own female colonies.]

First, we'll need to pick a time that we can sit down and get a design sketch put together, as well as measurements.

(A time to meet up... That might be a bit harder to coordinate. It isn't as if she has a copy of her brother's agenda in hand at any given moment, but no matter! Whatever task it was he was busy with could be postponed, should he be occupied and all...)

Forgive me, I didn't mean to neglect the most basic of courtesies. I am Alisaie, and my brother--who you will meet soon enough--is Alphinaud. My schedule is fortunately light so if you have a time in mind, I will arrange for it.

Would the morning be fine with you? I keep having requests for the afternoon. Perhaps around nine?
