[Open Log] Shopping at Yesterday's Magic
Characters: Lily Ivory, Kanji Tatsumi and Open
Location: Yesterday’s Magic
Rating: G
Time: June 11-13, 11AM-6PM
Description: With news of the Gala announced, it’s going to be a busy weekend at Yesterday’s Magic. Need a tux or gown for the gala? Have a tailoring request for Kanji? Just want to browse for everyday vintage clothes or try a different look? Searching for a part-time job involving clothes? Stop by and take a look!
With the gala being planned for next weekend, this weekend promised to be a busy one at Yesterday’s Magic. Lily had stayed late to rearrange the shop after hearing the news yesterday and now that she had completed her usual pre-opening salt water, sage, and candle ritual, she paused to survey her handiwork before unlocking the door.
On one side, the racks towards the front were now hung with suits, tuxedos, and the occasional tailcoat covering every decade from the 1890s to the 1980s. And on the other side, clouds of tulle, taffeta, lace, and chiffon enveloped the racks, some of the outfits pricey but generally cheaper than a new gown at a department store would be. Baskets of glittering costume jewelry, opera gloves, shawls, and bow ties waited, their contents soon to adorn partygoers’ arms and necks. Vintage heels, dress shoes, and even a few top hats lined the shelves next to the small curtained-off spaces that served as changing areas. The business suits, more casual everyday clothes, and frilly old-fashioned lingerie had been moved to the back and the whole shop was scented with fresh laundry and rosemary and sage.
Turning to the shop window, Lily adjusted a sign advertising that tailoring services were available and the smaller one next to it that read “Help Wanted.” Now that business had picked up somewhat, another clerk or two would be a help. With Kanji taking missions regularly—he would be out today but was scheduled to be in Saturday and Sunday—and her need to frequently go out in search of new inventory, Yuugi being left to watch the shop alone wasn’t uncommon. Satisfied that everything was in place, she unlocked the door and flipped the closed sign to open.

She fidgets a little, lacing her fingers together and looking down at her feat uncertainly.]
I've been told one is expected to go with a...partner. [She wasn't quite sure what word to use] If you do not already have someone. Perhaps. Perhaps we could go together?

But as to being asked by Mulan...well, that saved him the trouble of finding a woman and going through the motions, and in all honesty, she was a fine lady, talented, brave, yet very refined and respectful. Still, he takes a moment to decide. It wasn't as if they were going as a couple...but he did need someone to go with.]
...I would be honored to escort you to the gala.
