[OPEN] Start with Goodbye

Who: Annabel Lee Whitlock ([personal profile] witheredpeonies) & You!
What: Arrival and CR-building opportunities
When: Early June
Where: All over the place!
Warning(s): None yet, comment titles will indicate any that arise.

1. Never a hand hardly to hold [Downtown]
A new arrival has...well, arrived! Annabel Lee Whitlock, a pale blonde wisp of a woman with clever eyes and an easy smile spends her first couple of days exploring her new surroundings. Today, it's the downtown. Walking with a dainty gait and curious glances into the shops, weighing her desire for better clothing against the limited amount of brass in her pocket. Clearly, she's going to need to find work for herself. Nothing nearly so nasty as hard labor, fishing or farming, of course. It's good work, but nothing she'll set her hands to.

When she sees a thimble in the window of a general store, an idea starts to form. Implementation may take effort and aid, but she has time to work it all out. Right?

Feel free to encounter her anywhere in the downtown, looking every bit the tourist.


2. Big city sway, move with the day [Bulletin Board/Workshop]
A message written in an elegant script, on cheap paper:

Now Open, with the Support of the Artisan Guild!
Whitlock Needleworks
Embroidery and Mending at Fair Prices; Braiding, Tasselwork and other Embellishment also Available.
See Annabel Lee Whitlock for More Information.
[Address]


Should someone come seeking the workshop where Annabel's set herself up, they'll find her working on a display piece of embroidery meant to show off her skills. Peonies, of course.

"Welcome in. Was there something particular you were looking for, today?"


3. Wanting it bad, ever-returning home [Wildcard]

Gerry shrugged awkwardly. "My mum ran a book store when I was a kid," he said vaguely. "It's the devil I know. But I'm making some blank leather-bound journals and making reprints of old manuscripts for that Leeds woman, so it's steady work."

"Fine by me," Gerry readily agreed. "Black cover stamped with a floral pattern?"

He seems to believe he has her type pinned down already.

Oh, she's got a brainy angle under there, does she? Color him interested.

"Sure," he agreed. "I can even add a little gold detail to the outline of the piece, if that's your style."

"Oh, of course, how silly of me," he joked. "I'll get to work when I get back. Thanks."
