(In the streets of New Paris far from the cathedral stood two large turned over wooden crates stacked on top of each other with several rectangular holes cut out that act as windows, a longer rectangle at the bottom part that acts as a door, and a sign hanging above the door with "Fala's Tapestry Shop" painted on it. The curtains on a window by the door opens and shows a Taupe colored elderly female Stitchpunk wearing a grey bandanna with a golden ring hanging on the right, a jade green cotton shawl with suns on it, and a darker jade green skirt with big red roses on it. This is Fala Esma Higgins, the Tapestry shop owner. The shop owner ties the curtains to the sides and places a small sign that says "Open For Business" on it, then she turns away and walks to the staircase leading upstairs. Fala climbs the stairs and makes her way to the bedroom on the left and stands in front of the door.
On the other side of the door lays the bedroom of Fala's eldest child; 10 Rosalina Higgins.

10 is an adult light beige female Stitchpunk with deep auburn hair, three hook & eyes adorning her torso, and slate colored optics. The light beige female snores as she sleeps in the decorated jewelry box she used for a bed, unaware that her mother was just outside the door. Suddenly there's a loud pounding at her door.)

[Fala shouts:]
TEN ROSALINA HIGGINS!! WAKE UP, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK AGAIN!!

(10 lets out a loud yelp and shoots up in her bed. The young woman groans at the morning alarm that was her mother. She hunches over and glares at the door as the rapid knocking dies down.)

[10 groans in annoyance:]
Ugh really ma?.. Again with the shouting?

[Fala speaks:]Oh don't you give me that, missy

[Fala speaks:]
Oh don't you give me that, missy. You were the one who decided to go out drinking last night, now get up. We have work to do.

(10 slides herself out of her jewelry box bed and makes her way to the opened wooden jewelry box that contains her clothes. She pulls out her long sleeve white chemise, her lilac overdress, and her deep mahogany sash. After she gets dressed off screen, she waltzes over to the large mirror shard near her bed, picks up the wooden hairbrush with a rose painted on it and runs the brush through her wavey deep auburn hair to untangle any knots. Once all the knots are gone, 10 ties her hair back with a pine green ribbon, then she attaches a golden ring to the left side of the ribbon, then she leaves her room and makes her way downstairs.
Once she reaches the bottom floor, 10 spots a familiar person sitting at the table; a blonde hair, sand colored teenage Stitchpunk wearing a orange and yellow plaid shawl/shirt, a brown belt with a yellow button buckle, and a long black skirt decorated with red tulips; this is 11 Lucas Higgins, Fala's youngest son and 10's youngest brother. Sitting by the teenager's feet is Tinsy, the mechanical spy mouse the Higgins's keep as a pet.

10 sits at the table where Fala slides a sheet of paper over to the light beige female as she (Fala) makes her way to the wooden weaving loom. She looks at the paper to read the list of names and items to trade for whatever the shop needs. She takes the paper and places it into her satchel. 10 grabs the satchel and throws it over herself.)
