Today is a day of sweet and fickle fortunes! A day of providence of the highest degree! Lady Luck herself has smiled, so it would seem and allowed your eyes to befall a testament to grace and beauty; Rarity!
Oh, yes, she IS quite the sight to behold. Starting from the very top of her head is her horn- bright white like the rest of her coat and a symbol to the utter beauty and elegance that should describe every unicorn. Her mane is a delicate shade of indigo- bouncing and weaving with her motions and providing another distinct reason for most ponies to stare. It's magnificence is only matched by her tail- the lengthy appendage the same color as her mane, spiraling precariously down from her backside in a lush show of overt care and maintenance. Of course, her tail only works to compliment her eyes. They sparkle with a sapphire luster to them, alert for the ever present fashion disaster and always on the look out for the latest in trends and popularity.
She flaunts her looks with her movements- meandering from view with a distinct and direct roll of her hips, potentially drawing eyes to the three glittering diamonds adorning her flank: her cutie mark. She moves with a regal, and lady like air to her, taking slow, well practiced steps with a perfect underlying posture. There's no denying it- that's Rarity; owner of Carousel Boutique and element barer of Generosity. Go and say 'hi' and she might even grant you a fashion tip or two!

It features dress racks, fancy dressing screens, troves of gems, numerous ponyquins, and rolls of fabric on display.

Scarlet opens the door with a little jinga-ling. She peeks around at the selection. She hopes it's not too early, she'd hate to accidentally sneak in before the place is open.
Like usual, Rarity is up bright and early on this brisk, chilly morning! Winter is coming and with it; changes in the air, weather and warmth- but none to her habits! Yes, she's open everyday when most of the shops around town open, and she greets the customer entering her beautiful boutique with a cheerful smile. "Welcome to the Carousel Boutique; where all of our wears are chic, unique, and magnifique! I, am Rarity, and YES, there are still openings for Nightmare Night costumes! Just fill out the list near the desk, and I shall pencil you in for a fitting, hmmm?" She smiles brightly, giving the earth mare a once over
Scarlet smiles at the sight of Rarity. Something seems to tickle her about Rarity's appearance. "What a lovely welcome, sweetie, aren't you a dear? Oh no, no, I'm looking for something a little more formal than that. Do you have anything in a blue dress? Oh, and I would die for a new set of horse shoes! Love this place, by the way, are you the owner?"
Rarity nods her head thoughtfully. "Well, whilst I don't do shoes directly, you'll require the air of mister Irons, the smith down the street darling, he does the most wonderful shoes this side of Los Pegasus! Now, as far as coloring, and accessories, THAT is where I would come in, and I have the most gorgeous sapphire dress with YOUR name on it, darling! Hold right there, if you don't mind!" She announces, before dipping into a small side closet in the shop. A moment or so passes before she returns with a wide selection of dresses on a rolling rack. The one she selects, however, is deep blue in color, somewhat darker than the ocean, but not quiiiite navy. Along the ends are little blue and white ruffles that spill along the counter layer and disappear underneath with the barest hint of flickering silver- and eye catcher for sure. "Something like this, darling? I must say the shading would definitely accent your crimson locks most fabulously!"
Scarlet hmmms, and looks over the selection. She giggles a little with giddy excitement. "Oh it's absolutely lovely, honey! Wait! I need to compare. Hold on." She sets her small suitcase on a nearby stool, and opens it up, revealing a massive selection of makeup and beauty products. She digs around, and pulls out a small selection of lipsticks, some blue, some red, and one green. She holds them up to the dress. "Hmm... what do you think? If I got this one, would I be best to match, or contrast with a complimentary color? I do so love how it would work with my mane, you're right! But, hmm. Something inside is telling me to just go nuts and try it with the green."
Rarity winces at the idea of green, having watched this mare pull out a small beauty parlour out of a suitcase. She sheepishly shakes her head and glamours the room with a nervous, although bright and beautiful smile. "Ah-heh, I might go with red, as you currently have, darling. Wouldn't quite do to draw attention with a color that doesn't quite match the ensemble you know. Now, if I were you, A nice blue ribbon behind your left ear to make the dress complete, blue lipstick would be TOO much and take away from that beautiful mane of yours. You are going to WANT to keep the attraction on your face, which lets the creamy color pop, and the red from your mane really draw the eye. The blue just completes the set. "She explains with a sage nod.
Scarlet puts her lipstick back, and closes up her case, leaving three shades of red, and a hoof mirror. "Not the adventurous type, sweet pea? I can't say I disagree, though." She tries a rather muted color of lipstick first, applying it gently, pausing only for a moment to ask, "Can I try it on?"
Rarity's ears fold back ever so slightly at the continued pet names and she flashes that bright smile again. "Ahh, heh, yes, there's adventurous, and then there's...Aheh, oh, YES! Yes, you certainly can, darling! "She exclaims, and a cobalt burst of magic rattles the dress from the rack, hovering it into the air and holding it aloft in front of the other pony with a nods. From the same room Rarity fetched her dresses, comes a smaller extending curtain, circular in shape and- AHH a mobile dressing room. "Just be careful darling, any accidental rips in the fabric and the repairs will come out of pocket. "She warns cheerfully.
Scarlet's tickled expression starts to fade. She looks a little hurt when you mention the repair fee. "I'll be careful," she says with a furrowed brow. "But.. then, I guess I'd better know how much it costs, first?"
Rarity nods her head slowly. "Sorry darling, policy of the boutique! Tis a business, after all! Now, for THIS particular dress, I believe the cost is one hundred eighty bits, marked down from two hundred twenty! "She says crispy trotting about the other mare with a quiet grin tickling at her lips. " If you like darling, we CAN pencil in a time to get your measurements taken and we can go from there, if you think that might be an alternative route you should like to take!"
Scarlet blinks down at it, "Oh... oh dear... Maybe I shouldn't try it on, then. Do you have anything under one hundred?"
Scarlet hugs the dress. "I wouldn't want to get too attached to it."
Rarity ponders thoughtfully, reaching up to tap her chin. Tactfully tactfully how shall she put this. "...I...believe we can work something out, dear. Surely, yes. Now, lets see..."She says whisking the dress from in front of the other mare and returning to the racks, where she wheels it back into the side room. Not EVERY pony can be from Canterlot, of course. She pulls free another rack of dresses, and pulls one free- blue, darker and softer, with quality stitch work, just the same, although this one lacks the ruffles along the bottom. It does have more poofy shoulders, so it might be akin to the type of dress a pony might were to a dance. "A red belt with this one, gold around the trim with a golden buckle, shall we say sixty five bits, darling?" She asks, flashing that perfected smile of hers once more.
Scarlet grins and says, "That would be lovely, sugarcube! I can't wait to try it on.. but.. hm.. one second." She changes her lipstick to a darker shade, first.
Rarity waves a hoof, drawing the dress from the rack with her movements, and sliding it towards Scarlet with that same burst of magical energy she used upon the first one. She hovers it towards the earth pony and flickers a gentle smile. "There we are! Oh, darling, this shall look absolutely SMASHING on you, you WILL take it won't you? You'll be the belle of the ball with something like this!
Scarlet says "A ball? If only! No, I just wanted something nice for my date. I'm meeting a soft spoken deer for lunch. She's such a sweetheart. I have to look my best and I think I came to the right place! But let's not count our chicks before they hatch." she giggles as she slips into the change 'room'"
Rarity sits quietly, glancing casually at her hooves; shiny and reflected after having them done recently. "Oh, I'm sure they won't be able to keep their eyes off you. If she's soft spoken, she'll be speechless with such an outfit, you'll look utterly incredible!" She announces!
Scarlet hopes she's still a deer, at least, by the time the date comes around. She said it was temporary. She emerges from the dressing room with a flourish, and giggles, looking around for a body mirror. She practically bounces.
Rarity claps her hooves together when Scarlet pours out from the curtin. "Oh, look at Yoooooou darling! You look absolutely fabulous! You're quite lovely, the red does wonders for the blue! "She says trotting over to examine the mare in her handiwork. "Absolutely lovely, if I do say so myself...but what do YOU think, darling?
Scarlet gasps and rears up to cover her muzzle with both hooves. "And this is your discounted dress? Oh my. You don't mess around do you? Everything you make must be gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!" She spins in front of the mirror.
Rarity nods her head smugly. "Well not EVERYpony is rich beyond measure, darling. This isn't Canterlot. "She grins. "So lets say...seventy five. The belt, the dress AND a pretty blue mane ribbon to go along with it. What do you think, darling? My work is my pride, tis what I live for- fashion is my passion. "She grins. "And in THIS you will leave the poor dear...speechless!"
Scarlet frowns at the price tag. She's knows she shouldn't. She knows she can't afford such an extravagant dress. She shouldn't have even come in to such a high class establishment.
Scarlet says "I'll take it!"
Scarlet pulls a week's profits from her cosmetics case.
Rarity tsks softly. "Darling, think of it this way, you aren't buying a dress, you're putting a small investment into romance. "She says softly. "What kind of price can you put on such a investment...think of what it could blossom into...and at only seventy bits, thats quite the steal...considering I think it would be an utter CRIME to go without the bow...and a CRIME to go without dessert, too. "She grins warmly.
Scarlet says "You're right. You're absolutely right. Fluttershy is going to love it."
Scarlet pays Rarity.
Rarity's mouth drops open immediately at the words Fluttershy, before her lips slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, SLOWLY turn into a wicked little grin. Fluttershy indeed. Now is THAT the most juicy gossip...but no, no she could nev- YES SHE COULD! WAHAHAHAHAHA! This day is about to get MUCH more interesting!!
