[OOC Post for Rules & Stuff]
I'm going to be a**l about this, but so be it.
If you're posting in the main RP stream (this acount will only post in that one ^.~) please put [MAIN: (Your Name Here)] at the start of your post.
If you're posting in a side RP (say you are having a private conversation, or there's a group talking) please put [SIDE: (Your Name Here), (Other Person's Name), (So on and so forth)] in the order that you're posting. For example: [SIDE: Remove, Ithiltari, Final_Crucible]
I'll try and keep track of post orders and side RP's in this post. ^^ You can drop in and out of side RP's and the main one at any time, just make sure to note which you're posting in. Thanks!
Also, please turn off your signature. They're lovely, but I think scrolling through them in RP is distracting. heart

[Shop Setting]
Hidden almost in an alley is a shop with a blacksmith sign hanging outside the door. No store name is given, only the word "blacksmith" and a picture of a hammer and anvil.
Inside it is dark, with wrought iron fixtures and metal shelves. There is no merchandise on display. A girl dressed in black sits behind the counter, or wanders around the back wall. Sometimes she ignores the people who walk in, but when she does answer, she says only that she is the Caretaker, and that merchandise will surely be arriving next week, yet week after week there is nothing for sale on the shelves. there is a small seating area with black couches and chairs clustered around a small wooden coffee table stained with soot. There is a broken coffee maker on the table.
A small room off the main shop area houses the forge, which is unlit and does not seem to have been used recently. There is a restroom, small and cramped, with a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling and casting a sickly yellow light.
A spiral staircase made of iron is situated in the back of the shop which leads to the second floor. Here there are more couches, colorful ones, and pillows in rainbow hues and a refrigerator and small kitchen. The bathroom up here is white and blue and green with little pink flowers in the wallpaper and very well-lit. This colorful upstairs area seems to have no relation to the downstairs, except for a single black curtain hanging in a doorway, beyond which is a tiny room featuring a bed with black sheets. The bed is never made and the sheets are always twisted differently but no one is ever seen sleeping there.
Sometimes the Caretaker comes upstairs and smiles mysteriously at visitors. Mostly she sits behind the front counter and ignores the world, sometimes with a book. She never stops anyone from entering to look around but she does not encourage them either and there is never anything for sale.
But maybe, just maybe, the Caretaker might give you an item...

[MAIN: The Avatar Forge]
A sneeze echoed throughout the building as the Caretaker looked around the main level of the Forge. "I think it's time to dust," she said quietly to herself, as there was no one else, and there hadn't been in quite some time. Humming softly to herself, the Caretaker opened the front door of the Forge to let in some air and sunlight as she cleaned. She stopped humming long enough to laugh at the thought that had crossed her mind. "I don't think anyone's going to stop by," she scolded her mental self, before resuming her humming and dusting.

((OMG I am a part of the example *squee*))
[Main: Final_Crucible]
As if to mock her thoughts, a figure moved slowly down the sidewalk, the toddler finally able to walk next to her. While Takiko moved at a leasurly pace, the baby beside her moved as fast as her body would alow, making it seem strange that the adult would not help one bit.
Takiko knew though, helping Sjestaia walk would just result in a massive hissy fit, which was not what she wanted.
Pausing a moment, the teen caught sight of the old door slamming open, and her eyes widened in result. Unbelieving that it could be alive after so long, she glanced to her 'daughter' before a light smile crossed her features.
"Taia...lets go in the store, hmm?" Seeing the small toddler almost contemplating herself, Takiko laughed at the nod, and picked up Sjestaia to head inside.

[Main: Remove]
It was a new place for a new start and she was happy to be here. It was strange though that she happened to find this strange dim shop to enter first but she saw some signs of life and that to her meant that she could meet people and buy some things maybe, who knows what could happen.
She went into the shop not long after the other with the baby had gone in, but she did not know any such person had entered she was far too lost in her own mind to think such things.
She wasn't a clean person but nor a dirty one, the dress she wore was torn and dirty in several places but then thats expected when someone has been sleeping rough. She had decided she would stay here and would look for somewhere to live, this was the reason for entering the shop, to ask for directions.
As she entered though, the thought of living somewhere seemed to not be so important anymore. She saw the woman and the baby and the strange shop keeper. She looked around at the shelves before she actually even thought of saying anything, her black hair was tied back in a ponytail with the ribbon which she was glad of, it seemed dirty in here and it took her years to clean her hair properly!

Nathaniel sighed as he walked into the store he'd seen a day or so before, walking slowly seeing more than one body inside. He wasn't sure how him being the only man would help.
Moving inside he looked at the Caretaker, Takiko, and the other lady. He frowned at the, one again, empty shelves. "Hello," he said to no one in particular, without moving his gaze.
Finally, he looked away, only to move his eye sight to the couch. He walked slowly, more gentle than most men, over to the couch. He sat himself down and mumbled lowly.

((I know you asked to keep order...but it has been two weeks...I think we need to keep this moving))
Joining Nathaniel on the couch, Takiko smiled brightly and settled Taia on her lap, a grin taking over her cheeks. It seemed that more were coming to the shop now a days, so she couldn't wait to meet all the new faces and help others believe, just as she did.
"Hello!" She responded cheerfully, shifting again to get more confortable and pulling a hand through her hair. It seemed the whole situation was taking control of her and causing her to become all giddy, "It is good to see more faces around her, usually it is just myself and Sjestaia all day, the town is almost deadly."

((S'fine; I am, was, and likely always shall be a bit of a spaz about things. Doesn't help that on my main, this guild is on the second page. ;; ))
Caught in the act! The Caretaker froze, arm outstretched as she reeeached for a shelf with a duster. "Um," she said, eyes slightly wild as she looked around. "Hello," she continued, gradually lowering her arm. Upon seeing Takiko and Taia, her eyes brightened and a smile flickered across her face. "Yes, the town is quiet," she added, bobbing her head in affirmation. The Caretaker canted her head to the side in question. "I know this will sound strange, but, why are you all here?"

"I apologize, I am new here, this is the first place I came to." The girl smiled and bowed her head at the shop keeper polietly.
She turned to the girl with the baby and bowed her head, "Your child is beautiful, may I hold her?" She was curious about children, always wanting one herself but never finding the right guy.
