Warnings: None at the moment


Dreambucks
(It has been a while since she visited Dreambucks and Anya thinks that it is a good time to visit it and check out the new offerings for the season. After going through the menu, she settles on a cup of Cranberry Cheer and slowly sips it while Pooka takes a nap beside her seat.

As she takes in the drink, she is starting to feel rather festive for the Russian Orthodox Christmas and the memories she once had with her family: snow falling down, playing in the snow with her sisters and brother, the quiet moments of prayers, and the beautiful sight of the Christmas tree decorated in the palace. Her crystal lantern pendant glows vibrantly as she enjoys her drink and relives the memories.

Granted, this is still very early for Christmas, but hey, a Grand Duchess can dream, right?)

Madame Blackbird’s
(It did take some time for her to find a job, but she has found employment in Madame Blackbird’s shop: assisting her in sewing and preparing materials for the clothing that needs to be made for the day. This is the best thing she can do to help the seamstress after she and Tenn found the threads for her shop.

You can find her either getting the shop ready to open for the day, sweeping the floors, or assisting Madame Blackbird in sewing a dress or a coat on the mannequin.)

Harvest Time
Hello! Do you need some help with the harvest?

(Anya just joined the harvest and she is going to assist in gathering up fruits and vegetables at the farmlands and picking up seeds for everyone to have something to eat for the winter. She is also pushing a wheelbarrow onto the fields and is checking around for any crops that she can find.

Pooka may or may not help if he isn’t seen chasing any wild animals that catch his attention.)

Wildcard
(Got another prompt in mind? Feel free to comment down below or contact me on mariscorner or on Discord (Mariposa21 #4257).)

[ There's going to be a large, armored figure standing just outside the door-- too large to enter, in fact, given that the typical ceiling height of buildings is a whole foot less than how tall he stands.

And so there's a hefty knock upon the doorframe just outside, calling to whomever may be within the shoppe. ] Hail, Seamstress.

We require your services.

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh hello there, just wait over there, I’m going outside to meet you.

(Anya soon stops her current tasks inside to attend to a fully armored person outside. Her eyes aren’t joking around: the suit the person is wearing is really that tall and imposing. Judging from the suit’s appearance, she has taken in the fact that her new customer might have been in battle before coming to Reverein.)

Why yes, you have come to the right place. I can see that you are looking for some stuff in this shop. Do you have anything in mind to look for? I can even bring some of the clothes for you to choose from.

[luciing]

[ His hand lifts, slowly, in a silent gesture for her to pause-- or, perhaps, in a dismissal of the offer of clothes. When his hand lowers, he speaks again. ]

Leather belts, ropes, and bridles for creatures that are horse-sized. Do you make them?

[ It's a seamstress' place, not a hunter's, but seeing as there are very few other places to shop, this is a good as place as any to check. ]

[grandduchess_anya]

(Now Anya is well aware that Madame Blackbird doesn’t sell ropes or horse bridles in the store, but maybe she can try to make belts and bridles the man is looking for to the best of her ability. She might be new to making belts and horse bridles, but it doesn’t mean that she won’t try to help a customer out.

Besides, she hasn’t checked if there is a hunting supplies shop in the town to begin with.)

Hm, I don’t know if we usually sell them in the store, but I can try to make some belts and bridles if you want to, Sir. It might take a while to get made them and I haven’t tried making them before I started working in here, but I’ll do my best to accommodate your request. And I do think that there is also an unopened box of ropes in the backroom.

[luciing]

[ There is a slight lift of his head. ]

I would see the ropes.

[ Anything would be useful at this point. ]

[grandduchess_anya]

(Anya clearly wastes no time as she heads back inside the store and into the back room, she then begins to pry open the box to grab the ropes, which didn’t take too long as she is able to use a crowbar to get that thing to open.

Once that was done, she gathers up all the ropes with her hands and arms before she returns outside to bring the ropes to the armored man as requested.)

Here you go, hopefully these ropes should do the trick.

[luciing]

[ He crouches, leaning forward and raising a metal-clad hand towards the selection she provides. In silence, he appraises the materials, grasping one within his palms. When he's done, he stands. ] Ten of these shall do.

What would you have as payment?

[grandduchess_anya]

Right now, we don’t have a concrete currency system, but I can accept anything as payment for the time being. I’ll even accept some food for my dog as well.

(Granted, it will take a long time for a better currency system to take root in Reverein, but Anya is willing to accept anything right now as she gives him ten ropes, even scrap materials she can use for making clothing or dog food for Pooka.)

[luciing]

[ He appears to consider her request, and then his hand lifts. Somnus brings out a small, glass vial-- appearing like this. ]

I offer you a healing concoction.

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh, why thank you. I’ll take it. I do think that this could be very handy to use someday.

(She happily takes the healing concoction vial from him and carefully puts it into her pocket, she’ll put it in her satchel once she gets back into the store later.)

[luciing]

[ Once the exchange is over, he takes his leave. ]
