A New Character Has Come!

[feedtherain]

Because Beth clearly didn't have her hands full enough with Gabe, this means she needed to add a new member to the crazy farm.

Everybody, meet Eileen!

Eileen has lived in Underwood ALL HER LIFE and is convinced nothing exciting has ever happened there until fairly recently. (Sorry, Alison, but the riots and people destroying your shop are probably the most exciting things to ever happen in Underwood and she's sorry she missed it. >>) She currently lives with three housemates, all of whom probably have a reputation for being a little strange as they're all LARPers (and, yes, so is Eileen). They also run an online shop called Swords and Stitches, which is full of all the boffer weapons, costumes, and chainmail you could probably ever want. Eileen herself heads up garb-related things, so if you ever want a pretty dress for a ren faire or something, go talk to her. However, be warned that she has a cat (there are usually pictures of him up on the shop-related blog), so if you have pet allergies, you probably don't want to buy from her.

If you've only met her online, she's calm, confident, and will basically tell you what you might need to hear, though she doesn't want to upset anybody. So if she's upset you or something, she'll immediately apologize for it. Offline, though, she is the quietest thing ever. It takes her a bit to warm up to people offline, but, once she does, she's really very sweet.

CR? Please?

Oh, actually, Mal may have bought things from Eileen's shop online, before he knew where it was located, and then possibly gone in himself. He does a lot of costuming and has his own online shop too, does comissions for fancier Victorian-era stuff and a lot of steampunk stuff so uh THERE'S THAT

[feedtherain]

Haha oh god, Mal showing up would kind of make her want to die a little and she'd turn into this complete nervous ball around him. She thinks he's awesome and he's the sort of person she wants to be, so him buying stuff from her would make her the flailiest thing ever.

No don't flail Eileen you do great work too!

He doesn't do faires, but he does do conventions, and buys a lot of the accessories (hats, canes, pocket watches, etc, possibly some swords), either for specific costumes or just because they're cool. He does a lot of cosplay on top of the steampunk stuff, but mostly makes those himself, however they could possibly discuss fabric and suppliers and stuff? :3 Just. Doing an RP scene and then randomly break into a convo about 'man I have this fabric from x and it frays too easily, what would you do with it :|'

Would she read his comic at all?

[feedtherain]

Hahahaha oh god yes. Shop talk Eileen can definitely do and not feel like a complete spaz around someone that awesome.

Probably, but I can see her being ridiculously behind on it, too (between shop stuff and Zen and the LARP and the cat taking over her computer mouse). Steampunk isn't really her thing, but the clothes are pretty!
