one; a letter. ( un: sansastark )

[clothed]

[ sansa, when she finally understands the purpose of the strange, sleek brace she's been given, carefully taps out a letter for all that it might interest. ]

My heartfelt greetings to all that this letter may find.

My name is Sansa of House Stark, daughter of Eddard, Warden of The North. I write regarding the inclement weather that plagues the city now. The snow is harsh, and heavy, and to judge by the bite of the wind, it will be no less cruel.

I seek aid. I do not know how to hunt game, nor do I understand most of the meals sold in the glass-windowed shops found in this city. As well, I need cloths, and needle and thread, to fashion clothes that will stand the coming weather. I hope to sustain myself here, but know not how or where to begin. I can only offer my skills with needlework in exchange for any help.

I would be indebted for any kindness given.

Hello, and welcome to the city! These heavy snows have only recently begun, so I'm afraid you've arrived at a rather bad time. Do you still need assistance with anything? The idea of moonlacing can be difficult to get used to, but money can also be earned through traditional employment, if you wish to avoid too much of such contact. I can direct you to a few good craft shops as well, for cloth and the like.

I would be honored by your help, truly. Thank you. Would there be any places that accept seamstresses, untested as they are? I've yet to make clothes in the fashion the city prefers, but I'm more than willing to learn.

hello yes i'm here

[holycurse]

While I cannot say I've looked into that particular line of work myself, and so am unsure how many places are looking for seamstresses in particular, surely one would accept you so long as you showed a willingness to work. I've managed to get myself employed at quite a few different establishments myself, despite my lack of experience with the technology here.

[clothed]

I have a willingness to work. Understanding compensation, however - of that I have little skill. Everything I've wanted I've been handed freely my entire life.

What sorts of establishments have you worked with, if I may ask?

[holycurse]

I had a similar upbringing, to be honest! It can certainly be difficult to get used to the sudden change in lifestyle.

As for establishments...I've worked in restaurants, clothing stores, a weapon shop, a street stall or two, a children's daycare...it's difficult to keep track, after a certain point.

Are you perhaps a lord - or lady? One of the gentry, or the merchants of your land?

That's a peculiar history of work, if I may remark upon it. A weapons shop? As like a smithy, or armory? What led to it?

[holycurse]

Former nobility, yes.

In regards to the weapons shop, I've always had a great love of swords! I like to think I'm not too bad at smithing, either, rarely though I get the chance to try my hand at it. Sadly, there was an unfortunate accident that led to its closing for a time, and I found myself moving on to greener pastures, so to speak.
