2; Video: In Which Tarvek Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

[Tarvek has not been enjoying the sudden man-eating addition to the local flora. It's nothing he can't handle, of course -- at least these aren't the kind from back home that drug you and eat you while you smile yourself to death -- but accidentally tripping into a patch of them on his way home from work today means that his clothes are completely ruined. And that... that will not stand. It's one thing to take a chunk out of his leg, quite another to rip up his coat.]

Hello, Cityzens.

[Anyone observant might notice something going on behind him on his MAC-provided desk. Parts from various electronics are moving about on their own, fitting themselves together and forming an evil, fiendish, maddeningly physics-defying... sewing machine.

Shut up. Every mad scientist has a hobby.]

If any among your number could point me to the place I would be the most likely to find fabric and sewing supplies of decent quality, I would be much obliged.

Why? What are you making?

Proper clothing. I find what this city provides to be sadly lacking in any substance or flair.

It's just clothes. The kind they sell here look fine.

[Wow no

Little girl are you blind or something

Polycotton blends are not 'fine']

Mm. Fine for you, perhaps. But I happen to consider clothing a statement of self, and I would rather not have that statement be 'I'm simply too lazy to even bother with proper tailoring'.

[It's her brother that lost an eye not her, thank you very much.]

Clothes don't say that much.

They most certainly do.

[You're talking to a fop, Gretel. You really cannot change his mind on this.]

Besides, there's some satisfaction to be found in being self-sufficient.

[A prince who does nothing for himself and is waited on hand and foot is liable to get his ass kicked six ways from Sunday if his support system ever cuts him loose, after all, and Tarvek isn't stupid.]
