 Who: Hamlet and Evie
What: Clothing designing
Where: Evie's place
When: June 9th
Warnings: Talk of dead parents


Hamlet has a heavy black gown draped over her arm as she knocks at Evie's door. It's a little dusty from being carried down the street, but still in quite good condition. Especially for something so old looking. Evie had promised she could turn the dress into something wearable in this heat, as well as make some other clothes for Hamlet. And Hamlet is very much looking forward to having new clothes. She'd found some during a scavenging adventure, but none quite suit her tastes. As it is, she has on a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans, along with her boots from home.

Evie's excited to meet Hamlet, and excited to work with her to make her something suitable for this environment. It was hot and fairly stark, not to mention a very rough place to be in. And Evie grew up where having durable clothes that lasted a while was a necessity.

So she's happy to help anyone that needs it.

She's set out a few snack foods for herself and Hamlet. Nothing too exciting. Just a couple of things from the market and stuff from her own pantry. There were bottles of cold water, too, Evie knowing full well just how oppressive this heat was.

It was her wolf, Alaric that alerted her to the knocking, Evie busying herself setting out her sketchbooks and pencils when Hamlet arrives. Giving the creature a simple command to go lie down, Evie watches the wolf leave the room and head to his giant dog bed before the blue haired princess turns and opens the door, greeting Hamlet with a grin.

"Hello! Come on in. That dress is certainly something, isn't it?" Don't worry. She likes the dress. Tilting her head towards the living room where she'd set stuff up, Evie motions for Hamlet to follow.

"Would you like a tour of the castle before talking about clothes?" It's just a small starter castle, but Evie bought it herself and is so very proud of it.

"I would wear it, were the weather more cooperative. But alas, it is far too warm and I wish only to honour my father, not to join him." Very carefully, she lays the dress over the the back of a chair, to stay until Evie is ready to do something with it.

"I thank you for your hospitality, for I see you've laid out refreshments. A kindly thing to do. But please, yes, do show me your castle. I sorely miss Elsinore and would take great joy in seeing your home."

"Oh, you'll positively melt if you wore this. Or, at the very least, make yourself sick from heat exhaustion," Evie states, looking the dress over with a small smile. She has so many ideas already, that much is evident in the way she studies the fabric and the colors.

"If you miss home, please feel free to come visit. I work out of my house, so I'm home more often than not." Evie tilts her head a bit, a gesture for Hamlet to follow, and she gives the best tour she can. The kitchen is first, an island in the middle, complete with a basket of various fruits and a coffee maker. It's the right size for guests. The whole castle seems to have that in mind, making sure people are comfortable. There are four bedrooms, two large bathrooms. And a room that Evie's set aside just for sewing projects, of which there are many.

"Tell me about your home."
