[ OPTION ONE ]

Ask and you shall receive. It's been months ago that Cinna has requested an area to work in. The hotel has given him a space on the first floor near the cafe. Supplies have been gathered and the space redone to accommodate Cinna and his craft. That's right, there's officially a clothier's shop in the hotel. Cinna is indeed in his element.

Upon first entry to the shop it looks very unassuming and casual. There's the mixed aroma of freshly brewed tea and coffee as well as some pastries brought over from the cafe. The front half of the shop holds everyday clothes that seem to be the norm of what most of the people in the hotel wear, things like tees and sweaters and jeans and shorts. In the middle of the shop there's a round dark mahogany table with three high-backed plush armchairs around it. The armchairs are cushioned black with golden embellishments. Toward the back is where Cinna's influence shows through more prominently; clothing, both everyday and formal with unique and futuristic flares and touches. It's Couture at its finest. There are tall, large mirrors in the back as well as dressing rooms.

It should also be noted that as he has befriended both Milady and Aramis, there is attire befitting both men and women from their time period in Paris. Beautiful gowns and carefully stitched shirtsleeves and doublets. Cinna is always accommodating and will take special orders all day every day.

Outside of the space is a bracket with a swinging sign placard bearing the shop's name in an elegant golden script: Design by Cinna.

Cinna can almost always be found at the mahogany table in the center of the shop, sitting in one of the chairs with material draped over his lap and needle and thread in hand. He'll welcome anyone to his new shop. Please feel free to stop by!


[ OPTION TWO ]

Oftentimes Cinna can be found in the conservatory, sitting among the plant life and sketching new designs. It's peaceful in there. He'll greet and chit chat with most anyone who happens upon him.

However, one day he opens a door that he thinks goes to his hotel room but finds himself in the outdoors instead. The environment is boisterous and loud, crowds walking through fairways and strange music in the air. The sky is blue overhead, with the occasional cloud here and there. There are shops and tents and big contraptions with some kind of transport on them that has people screaming as they zip over rails.

Cinna, coming from Panem, has never seen anything like it. A man comes by and offers him a stick with a ball of pink cotton on top of it. What is it? He sees someone else with something similar eating the cotton. So he pinches some off and puts it in his mouth. The sugary sweetness surprisingly melts in his mouth.

Certainly, a place such as this can't be anything bad, right? Cinna is off to explore the amusement park.

"How about - " Chiana hesitates, which isn't very like her, but it's not like she's held a decent job for more than two weeks in her life. "Would you need someone? Here?" She means in the shop, and not in his bed, for once; she thinks Nerri would like the thought of her leaving all that behind. And she finds that maybe she wouldn't mind it herself, either. But asking after something she's realised she really wants makes her feel self-conscious, and this time the shift of her hips from side to side is a sign of hesitation.

Chiana laughs again, because it's so odd, the thought of having a real job, proper work, nothing like what she's used to. There's something exhilarating about the thought. "What kind of eccentricities?" she asks after a beat, half flirting, half really wanting to know.

Not exciting eccentricities. Not even very eccentric at all. Chiana sways on the spot, and tilts her head to the side. "Let's find out?"

Chiana laughs again, because that's not a line she usually hears about her sewing skills. "When do I start?"

"I've always been a bigger fan of right now," Chiana answers with a small, nervous chuckle; she might be pushing her luck.

Chiana was about to ask how exactly you manned a shop - she could pretend pretty well, she was sure, but she figured he'd want more than pretend - but then she was distracted by his next words. "My - my own ideas?"
