[ Normally, she would address the ship with both her name and face. A bow of her head, her most polite smile — means by which to garner favor and convince those she would entreat for help. (See how how guilelessly I ask, says her look. Truly, I am a soul worth helping. But gone are those days, for there are those aboard the ship who would readily look upon Alayne's face and say: behold, Sansa Stark or Lady Lannister or I knew Petyr Baelish; of bastards, he had none. Though she needs the assistance others, Alayne knows she must be careful now in what she offers too readily. Even if the other Westerosi still struggle with their devices, she must not rely solely upon their ignorances to keep her shielded and her secrets hidden.

So: some caution, at least at the very surface. A request made through text; an offer with a name but no face. A bastard from the Vale in search of cloth, that is all.

Good people of the Tranquility.
I am in search of a passenger, intrepid and strong-legged, to assist me in my endeavors.
Already once I have offered my services to the ship,
those of sewing, mending and embroidery,
and I hope to continue to do so, though I am hindered by a certain lack.
Although thread has come readily to me with the jumps,
fabric proves a much rarer commodity.
My aim is to enlist aid in the collection and dyeing of cloth.
The ship is vast and many of its quarters stand empty,
and I would look to gather some portion of those unused linens,
to give that fabric greater purpose.

But the vastness of the Tranquility is no place for a young woman to venture alone.
Especially when her arms alone promise to return such a meager bounty.

I offer recompense by way of trade or exchange of service.
The ship has been generous with me by way of worldly possession,
though I fear most of what I own is rather delicate and will only appeal to certain tastes.

Thank you.


[ The message is posted and remains as is for an hour, maybe two. Then later an amendment comes, one that Alayne debates over including. ]

I am also in search of the person
who thought it fit to slip a note beneath my door last night.
You are not in trouble by any means, whomever you are.
I look only to thank you for your endeavors.

Might I inquire what sort of fabric you seek?

[He debates for a while. Finally:]

I can offer you a bit of silk. Not a great deal, but I came here with several handkerchiefs. One has been ruined, and I've promised another to someone else, but there are two remaining which I could easily pass along to you.

O doth you be so troubleth maiden faire. I can helpeth you like in a ye olde buddy cop film.

[ he's being absolutely honest about helping alayne that ren faire speaks just intimidating. ]

It is kind of you to offer, Ms. Alayne, but I fear that such adornment upon this foolish jumpsuit would be quite wasted.

[Sticking to video anyway, because that's how Jesse rolls.]

So... Wait. You're asking for cloth?

[There's so many big words there.]
unheroic: (come at me bro)

A cop. It is like a knight in quieter garments, my lady. Hath you still be in need of assistance?

[A fetch quest, you say?]

I'd be glad to offer my assistance, in the hope - though not obligation - you might tailor some proper mage's robes for me. This blighted 'jumpsuit' doesn't breathe.

No. I am not jesting. I could help.

[He hesitates - ]

But by your confession you've limited resources.
jurisimpudent: (irritable)

[personal profile] jurisimpudent 2012-08-25 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Scarcely at all. If you were to make something, it would constitute a net loss to your materials.

Many of them are enchanted, but it's not at all a requirement. And there's no ignorance at all--I'm just pleased you're not telling me mages don't exist, which as you can imagine is disconcerting for me. I rather think I exist.

And forgive my manners. I'm Garrett Hawke of Lothering. Nowhere you've ever heard of.

[It's just like Lord of the Rings!!!]

I could go down the hall and grab some from the empty rooms... I also got some stuff I picked up on Strela, if you want it. Ain't doing me much good since I can't like sew it into anything.

Then I would wish to make recompense in some other way.
