It had been sometime since Aria had opened her 'store' in the basement of Crimson's home. She had been thankful for him for allowing her to do so. She had finally earned enough to have her official store built and now it was built. It was two stories, the front looked much the same as the other stores. However, the front had a lovely latice design with roses painted along it and had a few snowflakes placed along the bottom, evenly spaced. The building was ice blue and white. A large window sat in the front, holding a few dress makers dummies, each one holding a lovely dress upon it. Also in the window were some musical instruments, to show both her trades. A sign rest in the front, reading 'Clothing fittings, repairs, and making. Musical instruments for sale and repair.'

When one walked in, they would be greeted with the soft sound of music from a player and record as well as a bell(from when the door opened or closed), but they would see racks of clothing. Dresses for women and girls as well as clothing for men and boys. A desk sat against the one side wall, towards the back there were dressing rooms and a fitting room so Aria could take measurements. There was also one area in the back that had a small circular platform about six inches high and three feet wide, three mirrors were set up as well. One would question though about the music.

Up a flight of stairs, one would enter the music room, finding violins, violas, cellos, guitars, small and medium sized harps, tamborines, and a few other types of intruments. There were also music books and different sheet music, plenty of each. She also had strings and bows.

The shop was set, the sign Crimson had made her was set above the door. She was now officially open...with the exception of one little thing. She put a sign on the door, saying she'd be back in about twenty minutes. with a glance at her shop and sparkles in her eyes, she made her way down the street towards the bakery, she wanted to get some sweet treats for any customers she might have on this first day.

Wolf began taking a casual stroll in town, watching the people about either looking for business or the usual pleasure about. As usual, some people looked at his black suit as he stuck out like a sore thumb in public and he only looked back at them with his usual stare as he kept by the sidewalk. All he did was just look at the stores, until he spotted one he hadn't noticed before.

-A clothes shop? I could get some new clothing.-

Walking over to it, he spotted the sign that sais she would be gone for about twenty minutes. With a sigh, he leaned on the wall, willing to wait those minutes, seeing as he had some spaare time.

-Better wait here then.-

Kyle was walking down the street when he saw the store. He headaded toerds it when he saw arianoelle put the back in twenty minute sign up. He quickly cought up with her "its a little earley for taking your first break isnt it ma'am?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 25 Nov 2009 Posts: 1640

Aria's ears flicked slightly and she looked towards Kyle for a moment, but chuckled softly. "First break? Oh! Not quite. This is my opening day, but I wanted to go pick up some sweet treats from the bakery before I officially opened the store. I figure if I offer something sweet for the customers, then perhaps I'll draw more in. I had already placed an order with the bakery for six dozen cookies. I got a little excited and when I had gotten back to my room it hit me and I thought I ordered too many, but figured I'd be fine."

Iris made her way through the town, making her way to Aria's new store to check it out. She stopped and frowned when she saw Wolf waiting out the front.

'I wonder why she hasn't opened yet.' Iris thought as she approached the wolf.

"Been waiting long?" The mighty cheetah asked Wolf.

"Its your openng day i bet you will do fine. In this town all you need for a succesfull buisness is a pretty face and a good attitude and you will do fine. The added sweets will only be a bonus. Besides you can never have to many cookies"

"Very true, very true. I know I'll have luck in that department," she chuckled and turned a corner to another street. "To be honest I am a little nervous, but i'm sure every store owner is nervous when they open their store for the first time."

Wolf only tilted his head to the side to look at Iris then looked back down as usual.

"No. A few minutes maybe. What are you doing here Iris?"

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

"I've come to see Aria's new store." Iris replied. She looked at the sign in the door then admired the dresses in the window before casually asking Wolf,

"How's Grim these days?"

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

Kyle continued to followed arianoelle "that is true you are very attractive I bet you will have a ton of business here. Besides everyone gets nervous sometimes it’s how you deal with it. All nervousness is a state of mind. Where my area of expertise lies since I am a psychologist and a shrink. Maybe a can give you a couple quick tips to help you deal with your nervousness?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Same here. I wanted to see if I could get a new set of clothes."

Wolf sighed and stood up normally, looking foward.

"Grimm? You don't want to know."

Haskell was walking absentmindedly through the town when he spotted a new clothe store he hadn't seen before. he also noticed two people chatting in front of it and decides to check it out.

"Greetings"

does a humble bow to both Wolf and Iris

"I'm guessing the owner of the store is out?"

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

"That she is." Iris replied, nodding her head gently in response to the bow.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Wolf turned to face both Iris and the newcomer.

"The signs says about 20 minutes. We've been here for about three. Who might you be?"

He asked, training his sights on the other.

Ah forgive my rudeness my name is Haskell Yong I recently moved here. I was wandering about when this shop attracted me, along with you two standing in front of it.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Hmm....Wolf Stride."

He tilted his head towards Haskell, in a way to show hello.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

"And I am Iris Chesler." Iris said.

Rank: Rookie Joined: 25 Jan 2010 Posts: 52

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance Wolf Stride and Iris Chesler."

"so what can i expect from the store owner?'

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Wolf tilts his head and leans back on the wall, bored.

"Can't say anything for myself. The store is barely new."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

"Friendly service if nothing else." Iris said with a smile. "Aria is a lovely young lady and very attractive. She is also somewhat skilled with both clothing and instruments."

The cheetah lowered her voice a little. "But if it's clothing of a more exotic nature you are after, perhaps you will seek out 'Chesler's'."

Rank: Rookie Joined: 25 Jan 2010 Posts: 52

"That would depend on your definition of the word but at the moment I'm looking for clothes of a more work nature along with a possible request."

(gah! Sorry sorry! Evil forum didn't want to log me in for some strange reason*glares at it*)

Aria blushed softly as she listened, but nodded softly. "Merci," she said gently as she spotted the bakery. "Please, any advice would be helpful." She opened the door to the bakery and stepped inside, the aroma of fresh baked goods drifting to her nose. The woman behind the counter looked up and with a smile, hurried into the back, knowing what was to be gotten.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

(That is weird. Kyle has an extremely strong sense of smell)
Kyle fallowed Arionoelle into the bakery the smells of the baked goods overwhelmed Kyle sense of smell. It caused Kyle to steps few steps back “wow I haven’t been in a bakery in a while." Kyle watched as the baker ran to the bake to get the baked goods. “But I’ll be happy to help you out. So here’s the advice. To deal with nervousness. The first thing you should do is to have a mental team meeting with yourself. Just sit down in a room by yourself preferably with a mirror look yourself in the eye and start pep talking yourself. It will seem weird at first but it works I occasionally do this myself when I get nervous." Kyle looked at the young feline and waited for a response before he continued.

Aria waited for a moment as the baker went for her order, but she turned her attention of course to Kyle as he spoke, her ears forward so she could show she was listening. "Interesting. I'll have to try that when I get back to my shop," she said and chuckled. "I've done something like that before actually, but it was just within my mind."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

Kyle smiled as he heard this"well then your on your way to becoming less nervous then." kyle looked at arianoelle and a thouught had merged inside of his head"Now lets discuss your fee. How about you let me take you to dinner tonight after you close shop, Ill take you to anyplace you wish to go?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 25 Nov 2009 Posts: 1640

Aria chuckled softly as she reached towards her purse, hearing the baker coming back. "Well any advice is helpful monsieur," she said and glanced to the baker as she placed the boxes of cookies on the counter and stated the price. She pulled out the amount and payed for them, then took the boxes from the counter. She turned though towards Kyle as he mentioned his fee and she tilted her head slightly. "Dinner?" Her tail flicked softly behind her, but she chuckled softly. "Well I think that a fair fee. I close around eight tonight." She made her way for the door after a quick 'thank you' to the baker.

Wolf's ears perked up as he heard the name and sighed.

"Hmm, that store belongs to you? Grimm asked me some time ago if I could go there to place an order for him."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

"Yes, 'Chesler's' is my store." Iris replied.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Wolf only grined a bit before returning to his usual stare.

"Now I know why he asked me to place the order. He said he wouldn't go near that store but didn't tell me why."
