2st Design [voice]

So, correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but these alterations - they weren't voluntary? You all just woke up with them? Because I've seen fads catch like wildfires before, but this seems a bit much.

[There's a pause that seems as if he's somewhere watching someone pass him by.] You need some color variation in the glint and glimmer, perhaps some subtle shading? People aren't meant to be alabaster-diamond statues, they do have facial features that need highlighting lest they start to look like sparkly lumps. Perhaps the Deities would like some advice for future alterations?

Which brings me to the point of this message...

For those I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Cinna. I'm a designer and stylist of some repute back home and am looking to build a portfolio here. Seeing as this appears to be the major venue of communication for this place I thought I'd ask if there are any shops available I can work out of. I'd like to come to some kind of arrangement as I haven't the supplies or equipment here to go into business for myself quite yet.

And on a more personal note, Peeta and Katniss, I've found a lovely apartment here in the City proper, with a pleasant view and easy access to a number of locations. It's also quite quiet as there seem to be a number of vacancies nearby... on the off chance you should be interested. Not that your current residence doesn't have its... charm, but the sand does get everywhere, doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure it's a curse, Cinna.

If you need any help setting up a place, I'd be really happy to help.

Curses don't usually tend to go the voluntary route. I think it's less fun if we can get all 'thanks but no thanks' on whatever stupid thing the deities have planned for the day.

[ and now the real reason dawn was pinged. ]

You're a fashion designer?

It doesn't get everywhere.

The less people there are around, the less--

I seriously don't think you'll have any trouble starting up your own store, if you can't find one to work in. There are plenty of girls here who like pretty outfits.

Oh, you're a fashion designer? How lovely! I once met one a long time ago, when she remade a dress for me that I'd ruined by mistake, but I haven't seen many others around since then. So I think there'll be plenty of demand for you, if you do manage to go into business for yourself!

People start their own shops all the time. When my brothers were here, they were working on opening a joke shop, and I helped a few other friends with selling sweets and potions, too. It's not too difficult.
