That would be me! Though you can just call me Rhyme. [A light giggle] What can I help you with?

[Shifting her weight to one side]

[Okay. Fairly friendly. Pretty young. That helped him choose which script to go with. Because no way was he just going to work here because someone told him to. ...Really, the place didn't look too bad. Under other circumstances, it might have been a good way to jumpstart his career. But not after he'd been told he would work there.]

Someone told me I might be able to find a sewing machine here. [But this was a business. He wouldn't act like he expected to set the terms.] I could come in after hours, when it's not being used. Haven't found anything new in the one store that I like, so...

Gonna make my own, and hand-stitching can be such a pain.

[There's a blink but she's quick to smile again. The question was a bit out of the blue, but it makes her happy. A lot of people recently have started to step forward and show their skills with sewing. She's missed being surrounded by it. But even though none of them work here, working with them on a group project taught her a lot too for when she gets the use of her hands back!]

You were told right, we do have a sewing machine here. You're free to come by and use it whenever you'd like! I can't use it right now so it's not really being used for much, even during the day. [It's a good thing Shiki had left enough clothes from last years seasonal lines to put out this year.] Oh, and you're welcome to use any of the supplies we have in the back too.

It's nice to know that there are other people here that like to make their own clothes. [Reminds her of Shiki, to be honest]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Great. I'll bring over my fabric and designs and get to work. Probably tomorrow.

[And. Well. A Hitachiin is nothing if not a bit bit vengeful.]

The girl who told me about you -- I didn't catch her name, but you should really talk to her. [A small frown, like he's a bit upset. A good mimicry of uncertainty.] She basically told me -- after she mentioned you -- that if I wanted to use the sewing machine, I'd have to work here. No choice about it, just "If you want to use it, you'll be working there."

Really off-putting. I almost didn't come. I mean -- maybe she was just having a bad day, but I can't imagine that kind of advertisement is very good, you know?

[ ...A-aha Rhyme is pretty sure she knows who this guy is talking about. There's only one girl and person who knows Rhyme who would say something like that. She said something a little off-putting when she first started looking for volunteers to work at the shop too.

She sighs a bit and shakes her head] I think I know who you talked to. I'm so sorry, I've told her before not to act that way. I'll talk to her about it again. [Here's to hoping Haruhi hasn't scared anyone else away. Offering a small smile] But don't worry, you don't have to work here to use the sewing machine. I'd rather someone use it for something than let it just sit in the back to collect dust!
