[F22 - R9 Tailor] The Lion's Den (3.0 Ready!)

[Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0]

 

Greetings adventurer! If you're looking for this tailor shop, you're one of the few that knowns about the existence of one of the oldest player-run shops.
First thing you'll need to do is move past the confines of the floor 22nd's main settlement « Coral ». There is a sign with a crowned lion head pointing towards the exit you need to take, as well as others afterwards. You need to make way towards the « Forest of Memories » alongside the breathtaking views of the « Lake of Reflection ». On your small stroll you can even spot the « Home of the Weary Smith » in the distance, be sure to make time to take in the overall soothing atmosphere of this floor as you walk down the well-worn dirt path. Or if you're bold enough to try, on horseback to make haste. 

But if you want to take the scenic route, nothing beats walking and taking your time. Once you reach the forest, you will have to enter and follow the newly made path. Be sure to keep your eyes on the ground and white markings on the trees, as they can be easy to miss. A few minutes after, you should be in front of a modest yet somewhat modern red torii gate that marks the entrance to the lioness' domain, Shirajishi Valley.
There is also the option of renting a boat at the lake and following upstream, as the river serpentines into the forest. By far the fastest route, once you entered the forest, you're only a few rows away from a small dock on the right bank, near the entrance torii.

Once past the entrance the valley opens itself to you as a flat surface surrounded almost entirely by hills and mountains. 
On your right (south-west) you are greeted by a pink and white field of sakura (cherry blossoms) trees. One of the favorite pastime of the resident is hanami (flower watching), highly recommended by this guide to at least try it once.
In the middle of the domain lays a semi-open dojo at crossroads; one that lead north towards another exit leading to the Cathedral of the Forgotten where a certain powerful guild has its HQ. 
To the west, one with a sharp eyesight would notice the 'thousand' red torii gates shadowing an equally great number of stairs ascending up the mountain and leading up to a small yet well maintained, Inari Shrine.

Closer to the exit, next to the river bank east the main estate which hosts the Shirajishi-ryū. A beautiful wooden building with over twenty rooms distributed over two storeys. Now it was mostly desolated, having only three player residents but it was its owner's desire to accommodate those that would wish to join her school in the future.
Lastly, if you haven't forgotten the reason for your visit, you'd barely notice the annexes to the estate. One of them bore the old logo of a crowned lion head and the name of the tailor shop you seek. A word of caution, not to walk through the next door entrance of a Alchemy lab similarly named: « Lion's Share »

Once inside the tailor shop, in the absence of its owner most of the times, you are greeted by a redhead that appears to be in her early 20s, wearing a maid outfit.
"How can I be of service?" she asks politely, with a small bow, as someone walks through the entrance and heads towards the reception desk. The interior is pretty simple: a high bar table with a couple of chairs, a large display of already crafted items, next to the wall there's a chalk board that lists all the current Prices. Hanging to the side are several Commission forms for any who wish a personalized item. Of course there is also the reception desk behind which the owner or Claudia, the maid put in charge in her absence, greet their potential clients. Lastly windows cover almost the entirety of both sides of the entrance walls, letting players enjoy the picture like view outside.

[Faustein 0]

It had been some time since Faustein had worked with another, more experienced player named Lessa to finish the first part of the introductory questline series which was meant to ease newbie players like himself into the mechanics of the VRMMORPG world of SAO. Since then, Faustein had returned to the ongoing and ever-burgeoning research that he had been doing on the world of SAO and all the various elements therein as well as research on the various monsters and other entities that seemed to populate its plethora of floors. It was during one of these research trips that he found out about a certain, highly skilled Tailor PC who had set up shop all the way up on Floor 22. Since he figured he would need better equipment, specifically light armor this time around, in the long run; Faustein had messaged said Tailor PC named Ariel to put in a custom order for an upgraded version of his current Uncommon grade Light Armor suit which was basically just his physician-scientist's outfit. It took some time, but apparently Ariel was a fast worker since before too long Faustein received a message from her alerting him that his order had been filled and asking him to come pick it up in person. 

Well well, now that is rather impressive...but then with a Tailor of her caliber, I suppose it is only to be expected...Well, time to go collect my order...

Musing silently thus, Faustein readied himself in his current Light Armor suit aka his physician-scientist's outfit which he had christened with the name << Fabrication Designation - Svalinn MK1>> swiftly and after strapping his Uncommon grade Assault Spear which he had dubbed as <<Fabrication Designation - Gungnir MK1>> into its holster slung across his back, he headed out to the Teleport Gate of the <<Town of Beginnings>>. Upon reaching there, he stood on the pedestal and uttered the prescribed command phrase to activate the gate's function 

"Teleport, Floor 22 - <<Coral>>."

With that said, he was instantly teleported to Floor 22 and appeared at the corresponding receiver Teleport Gate located in the settlement named <<Coral>> on Floor 22. Then, he wasted no time in following the signs directing him towards the shop in question and after what seemed like many hours of relentless traversing of the landscape outside the safe zone of <<Coral>>, Faustein eventually made it all the way to his intended destination, aka Ariel's shop named <<The Lion's Den>>, and headed inside. Once there, he was greeted by not only a maid named <<Claudia>>, but also Ariel who was her PC employer and owner of <<The Lion's Den>>. So, Faustein began, revealing his voice to be a rich, powerful baritone but melodious one which was often seen as unusual to be present in a man of such a slight frame and build as his

"Greetings, I am Faustein, the one who had put in the order for a custom-made, full-body Light Armor suit some time back. I received a message alerting me that the order has been filled successfully, so I am here to pick it up and transfer over the payment for services rendered."

After that the conversation proceeded to its end in short order and once that was done, Faustein was handed his brand new and upgraded, full-body, Light Armor suit which was again just his physician-scientist's outfit, but this time it had been given the codename <<Fabrication Designation - Svalinn MK2>>. 

 In return, he thanked both Ariel and her maid <<Claudia for their help as per the usual societal custom and handed over 6 Mats which was the requested payment for services rendered. Then, he took his leave after storing his hot off the press upgraded, full-body, Light Armor suit in his inventory and headed back to <<Coral>>, the safe zone of Floor 22, and then teleported back to Floor 1 and its designated safe zone aka the <<Town of Beginnings>>, intent on returning back to his ongoing and ever-burgeoning research. 

[FAUSTEIN'S EXIT]

OOC:

Summary: 

- Acquired 1x Perfect grade T1 Light Armor named <<Fabrication Designation - Svalinn MK2>> from Ariel, R9 Tailor.

- Handed over 6/10 Mats to Ariel as payment for serviced rendered.

[Yona 0]

So much to do, so little time.

Yona would need the proper preparations before going out, and yet she had heard of a Tailor who lived somewhere on what was apparently a peaceful floor? Well, it was better to take the quick route, as Yona had nothing to keep her alive from any hostile encounters, nothing but a weapon and the weakest stats ever.

The trip would be a bit longer than anticipated, but in the end, She managed to get to the tailor's property(albeit she had a horse's help), for she had made an order for something that could actually help her out. If there was anything she knew about RPGs that had players start out with some money, it was best to use said money to get better equipment as to survive the lower levels...but of course, she also had materials she could trade, as she had no idea what to do with them.

Unlike most players, it seemed that this particular one had a...large plot of land. "I can't wait to get my own one day..." She thought, remembering her original home, which was like a comfortable prison...but if she was to get one of her own, it would truly be a home to her. But for now, she would make her way through the land and reach the tailor shop, which was currently being watched by a redheaded maid. 

"I had placed an order earlier, so I'm now here to pick it up, as well as pay for it, of course." Yona answered to the maid's politely asked question. "I'm Yona, by the way." She added, for identification purposes. Upon handing over a material payment, Yona would receive the custom made item, and from there, she would thank the maid(and the shop's owner if she ever showed up during the transaction), take the item and leave, for there was something else she needed before taking on Aincrad...
