an aid to laundry troubles
[At some handwave-y time shortly after the closing of the Story, a note in an workmanlike cursive hand goes up on the bulletin board:]
If you need a change of clothing, I can make simple tunics and trousers that won't disappear.
Find me:
[A simple doodle of Illarion's face follows: Pointy ears, long hair, blindfold (or veil), malar stripes. Enough to go on when most of the Library is human.
It is signed below the doodle with an eye-and-feather symbol. No name.]
IC UPDATE:
[A few hours after the initial post goes up, an additional sheet of paper is appended to it:]
Payment is not necessary but if you're one of those who can make or find permanent items, you can bring one of the following:
- Fabric
- Thread or gut
- Head/round knife
- Awl
- Leathering needle
- Raising hammer
- Pliers
- Portable anvil
- Hides or leather
NO glitter. We have plenty.

Received. Will find out if there's anyone out there who can get those for you.
How are you on materials?
[He hasn't seen anything yet in the Library that could be repurposed into raw material for a blacksmith or leatherworker the same way he could steal the sheets.]
Good thing that we're on our own, too.
I'm going to need more sheets.

I think it's likely a good thing as well. I do know people who can pull things from the books but their quality is somewhat lacking. Honey only tastes half as sweet as it should be, for example.

Might just be a matter of practice. It took me long enough to figure out the trick of finishing things.
Half-good leather and cloth are enough for everyday wear, at least, even if I wouldn't rate them for armor.
no subject
Either way I can at least keep stuff covered for people.

[That's all Illarion sends for a long while -- maybe an hour or two.
Then an addendum appears:]
Sanguinius can get us materials.

I'll be glad to make whatever you need out of whatever we can cobble together.

[There's something a little ragged about his handwriting now. Weird.]
Let me know when you find the door.
no subject
I just got it.
[And indeed, he walks into the crafting room, tucking his journal away.]
