《✓ QUIXOTIC | L. PARTRIDGE》Dress • Tewkesbury
Advertisement
i'm having major writers block 😅😅
imagine where like enola, you go to a dress store and pick out a beautiful dress for disguise while Tewkesbury buys the flower scene's suit. Tewkesbury has known you all your life, but since you lived in the country, you never wore dresses or corsets.

Your POV
"Alright Tewkesbury I found a suitable dress shop. I'm going to find something appropriate for our disguise. Now, go get some...cheaper clothes so you look less like you." I say, giving some of the money to him.
"Ok. I'll be fast. I already found a suit cover that well meets my needs. I'll meet you in the store. You're going to that one, correct?" He says, gesturing to the shop I had my eye on.
"Yes. Now hurry along, I'm going to try to be as quick as I can." I say, shoving him playfully down the sidewalk.
He stumbles and continues to walk, sending me a cheeky gin over his shoulder. I laugh and turn to the shop, walking in the direction a few doors down. I enter and the lady who works there is trimming a dress. "Hello dear! Do you need help finding anything?" She says with an accent that sounds like it comes from the countrysides.
"Thank you, ma'am, I'm just here to browse." I say with a slight nod. I make my way to the back and look through the selection of clothing.
I gasp as I find an elegant navy fabric and pull out the ensemble. I carry the think fabric to the back and fumble a bit with the corset, but figuring it out.
Once I have all the piece of the outfit arranged accordingly, I turn to the mirror.
I don't even look like myself.

I look like a lady.
The dark fabric fits on me just right, the skirt extending just at my waist and sprouting out around me.
I smile as I see the silky texture, spinning around. I check the amount of money I have and a satisfied grin is plastered into my face. I gather my other clothes and fold them neatly for transportation, and exit the dressing room.
I see Tewkesbury standing there with the seamstress as I step out, and I feel the heat rise to my cheeks as their eyes turn to me.
"Oh look at you. Aren't you a little beauty?" She says as she comes over to me. She examines the dress and awes. "Isn't she beautiful?" She says to Tewkesbury.
A deep blush sets on his cheeks, reaching the tips of his ears. "She is indeed." He says sincerely. My eyes drop to the floor, so many butterflies erupting and my smile growing. Tewkesbury clears his throat and I look back to him. "We should be going, right Y/n?"
I nod quickly. "Let me just pay this kind woman for her beautiful dress."
"No darling." She tuts, "Keep it. I've never seen a dress more right for someone."
"Are you sure?" I ask excitedly.
She nods, a smile on her lips. "It's yours."
I thank her quickly and I exit with Tewkesbury. An awkward silence fills the space between us as we walk back to the lodgings house. Every time I look at him, he's already looking at me. After five minutes, I cant take it anymore. "What are you looking at me like that for?"
His eyes shift to the floor as I cross my arms in annoyance. "You really do look beautiful." He mumbles.

"Oh."
Oh? Really? That's the best you could do? You're pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
"Y—Yeah. I mean, not that you're not always beautiful, it's just— I didn't—I didn't know you could look even more beautiful than before." He stumbles over his words.
My cheeks heat up and I look at him with a grin. He glances up at me and notices my expression. "What?" He asks.
"Nothing." I say, my smirk growing. "Nothing at all." I say, before walking towards our building, leaving a flustered Tewkesbury to chase after me.

Palus Somni
It is the final days after the end of the world and you only have one month left before the last sanctuary erupts into chaos. There's a dead body hanging from a tree and cadaverous giants watch you sleep at night. The end is already here, you just don't know it yet. Now rated in the top 3% of all novels on Royal Road! Palus Somni (‘Marsh of Sleep’) is a worldbuilding webnovel about what happens when your God forsakes you. Inspired by gothic horror and mingled with British myth and folklore, join the Alucinari nuns as they struggle with day-to-day life after the world has ended. Every night when the sun sets the monstrous Gol, colossal beings with too many teeth, awaken and roam the marshlands. Only those with a faithful heart will be spared. Young acolyte Wille has never seen the walls fail, but when a fellow nun is murdered within their sanctum the very safety of the monastery is thrown into question. Did the Gol find a way to breach their defences, or is there a human traitor amongst them? The answer lies both far in the past and deep beneath the earth, through the maze of ancient catacombs. With a cast of over thirty different characters, watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness at the hands of a callous and unforgiving world. Discover the secrets of Palus Somni through letters, diary entries and notes found scattered across the monastery. Uncover the mystery of the grotesque giants that stalk the night and bring your challenge to the Gods themselves. Each character has their own handmade pixel art, and every update includes a music recommendation for a dark atmospheric dungeon synth album that you can listen to while you read. Slice of life meets cosmic abomination: Palus Somni is a collection of intertwining stories, some chapters are stand-alone tales while others feed into the overarching narrative. It is an exploration into a community, and rather than focusing on any one character the story meanders through the convent, exposing the hopes and fears of its inhabitants. Story updates every full moon.

Training writing by randomly creating characters stories without screwing up some full-fledged story that I may or may not write in the future. There is a main story here; however, as I'm still bad at writing, I decided to just put a small part of it here. Leaving the full story for another book. Also, please notice that every single chapter can and will be edited at any time I think I'm ready to enhance this book's quality.
