It’s always extremely fun to have recent events that are going EXTREMELY DIFFERENTLY from different characters’ point of views. For the tailor:
They sent an advert to people inviting them to an upcoming fashion show for their work, basically.
Someone???? Sent the advert back to them????? With a whole note????? You know you need to…. Present this at the door???? But the note was like “I’m coming but my stuff is better :)”
Said person showed up in blinding white and proceeded to try to take the attention away from the show altogether. Okay.
Slightly insulted, the Tailor does the classic ‘accidental wine spill’ at a party. Provides a reference on where to get that cleaned, and makes sure the cleaners absolutely ruin the garment
Classic assassination game begins. And it is a literal game for them! “Spill and kill” is a time honored London tradition didn’t you know?
Their new rival responds in kind! Awesome! Game on!
I genuinely can’t emphasize enough that this sort of practice warms the Tailor to a person significantly. This is how they make friends.
Because they’re a disaster.
Little bit of back and forth going! Excellent excellent.
They discover the rival has fallen out the public eye entirely. This is hilarious.
Then they remember that it’s actually kind of boring at the top by themself. They try to talk to Slowcakes but the guy says that they need not involve themself in the individual’s aid.
Okay…..? Is the game still fine then? Unclear.
Oh. Report that their assassin did hit and did actual damage.
That wasn’t supposed to happen.
Let’s make sure there aren’t any hard feelings. This is a game after all. We are all aware it’s a game.
Sends a care package with meds and bandages and apologizes that the assassin actually managed to hit.
They nearly sent a sabotage attempt for the bit but unfortunately the Tailor isn’t rotten all the way down yet. Sad.
Gets told (not for the first time) “let’s go play Heart’s Game instead!”
So you know. They just think this is how friendship works. They have NO idea about the other stuff. Lol
