Red is Open and In Today

[http://users.livejournal.com/_red_xiii_/]

Red wandered down the stairs to open his shop. Most administrative things were done for the Town and he welcomed the sanity of his shop.

The flyer he had picked up during his lunch yesterday was ready to put up and he very carefully taped it up in the window.

A Halloween Party. Red had no idea what that was but it sounded fun and he would be judging too.

Back to his spot at the counter, he picked up his mouthstick pen and started writing on his to do list.

Distribute flyers
Reserve Town Hall for meeting on Thursday
Order desserts
Order coffee
Assemble agenda items

Sliding his to do list out of the way, Red started back to work on his agenda for the meeting.

Aayla walks into the shop and sees a busy Red at the counter.

When the door chinged, Red looked up and grinned around his mouthstick, setting it down. "Good morning!"

Bowing politely, Aayla approaches Red, giving a salutatory nod to Duce as well. "Good morning, sir. Duce had mentioned that you were the person to come to concerning jewelry?"

"I would be him," Red said pleasantly. "What can I do for you?"

((ooc: no prob. I will be uber slow too))

Reaching into a secret pocket, she gently reveals a beautiful blue crystal. To the untrained eyes, it's merely an dazzling and exquisite piece. Yet to those attuned to The Force, it is radiating with energy.
"I am hoping that you could make this into a necklace for me."

Duce nods to Aayla from her station at the henna area.

HENNA

After classes, Duce walks in, looking exhausted but happy. She begins setting up things for henna. Noticing Red is with a customer, she shoots him a wave and keeps the babies distracted.

Tonks walked into the shop quietly, though she could not hide her natural inquisitiveness.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_red_xiii_/]

"Hello there," Red said, popping up from behind the counter when he heard the door.

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

Tonks looked slightly nervous, though she managed to grin. "I...I'm kind of interested in getting a tattoo." She admitted.

"This is the place!" Red reclined over the top of his counter. "What did you have in mind? I have flash up on the walls," his nose gestured to them. "And I have a book of stuff I've done so you can see my work."

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Could I see the book please?"

As she waited, she drifted into a slight tangent, "I was kinda thinking something like maybe a lily. But..." A sudden idea occured to her that caused her eyes to flash.

"But?" Red asked, sliding his notebook over to her.

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Do you think you could do a dog on my shoulder for me?" She asked suddenly, her eyes and voice intense.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_red_xiii_/]

Feeling a bit full of himself, Red nodded. "I can do most anything you ask. Do you have a particular image in mind?"

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"A kind of gangly black dog. It's a little bit bear-like..." She tried explain, "A bit of a black lab, only slightly bigger."

Red ducked beneath the counter and pulled out his drawing pad. He picked up his mouthstick and started some preliminary sketches.

After a few minutes, he turned the pad and put his pencil down. On the page in front of her are several concept drawings of a shoulder and some ideas he had about how to ink the dog.

"That's perfect," Tonks said, her mood lightening as she gestured to one. "This one looks almost exactly like him."

She still had a picture of herself and 'Snuffles' that had been taken almost sixth months ago inside Grimmauld Place. He had her floppy purple beret in his mouth, and she had her arm around his neck, fingers buried in his scruff. Remus had taken the picture, and she'd been broadly grinning at him, gesturing for him to give the camera to Molly and come join them.

"Let me work on it a bit and I'll have something more complete in a few days," Red said, cocking his head to the side and studying the picture in how he wanted to color it.

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Tonks nodded, letting herself smile, "Thank you!"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_red_xiii_/]

"Hm." Red got halfway up on the counter and peered at the crystal closely with his one eye. He could feel the energy radiating off of it. Definitely wouldn't want this pretty piece marred by drilling.

"Will you need it to be unimpeded by wires holding it in place?"

"I would like it to be possible to remove it from any casing it is in. I don't anticipate the need too often, but I do require the possibility." She fondly holds the crystal, a somewhat sad smile crossing her face.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_red_xiii_/]

((Sorry. I know I hit reply. It's happened to me several times today))

"Well," Red said, sitting up. "If you give me a few days, I can have some concept drawings for the mounting. Monday."

Replacing the crystal to its special pocket, she nods gratefully. "Thank you, sir. I will return then." She smiles and bows gracefully in departure, acknowledging Duce as well on her way out.
