A very special commission

[clothes_make_the_man]

Who: Forrest, Sakura, Nephenee
When: July 11
Where: Lakshmi's temple
What: A special mission for Orihime

[It's been a few days since Tanabata, and Forrest is itching to get started on the special task Orihime set out for him in exchange for his first lesson in making enchanted clothing. His task is to make one or more pieces of clothing of sufficient quality to impress Fuujin. And since Orihime said he can recruit some help, he's decided to ask a few friends over to the temple to bounce some ideas around.]

Thank you both for coming. Normally I'm confident enough to handle commission work on my own, but this one is special. I have to make something that will impress Fuujin, and I've been told he doesn't like the new gods and shinki very much, so I want to make sure this one turns out well. And as long as I'm working for a difficult audience, I thought I might as well set my sights high: I'm going to try to make a new kimono for Amaterasu.

[Mercifully for Sakura, Forrest isn't gone long. When he comes back, he's carrying several reams of fabric in a variety of colors, styles, and materials. He's got all the staples - silk, linen, and satin - as well as the warm colors he'd generally associate with a sunrise. As he comes back in, he lays them out on the floor for everyone to look at.]

All right, that should do it.

[Smiling, he lets out a breath and wipes some sweat from his forehead. That was a lot to carry all at once.]

So, what did the kimono you remember from home look like, Sakura? Did you come up with any ideas for the accents?
