Location: Promenade, SB332
Timeline: Current

Kemara moved quickly across the station's Promenade. While owning a business, especially a Clothing Design company, was a far cry from her days in Diplomacy, Kemara was ready for the challenge. After settling in to her apartments, and gathering a slew of her staff she decided to get a head start on setting up her atelier.

They crossed the Main Promenade and saw the glorious sign, emblazoned with her House name and sigil. Her excitement grew in her. She watched a moment as passers stopped to look at the new sign, and peer through the windows at the unopened crates inside.

With an interternalized roar of Klingon ferociy she surged forward and keyed her access to the shop front. As the doors closed behind her, she looked around. She immediately made her way over to the stacks of furniture that had been delivered. It was all large and ornate, very Betazoid. Along with the furniture there were mannequins, paintings and banners for the showroom.

The unit it's self was ideal, three split levels in a stair formation near the Promenade lifts. The Entrance level would be her showroom, the second her workrrom and fitting area, and the uppermost her private office. The first two levels were open to eachother, save for a half wall. The office area however was completely private, just how Kemara wanted it.

The slender Betazoid woman began to coordinate people in moving furniture about. Tables, shelves, racks, and mannequins found their spot in the showroom. With one room for the most part ready to be stocked, Kemara moved on to the next level. A large workstation and shelves had already been moved into place, so she had crates of material and equipment brought into to the area and began to organize them.

Opening another crate Kemara came across the pieces for her dressing area. It was fairly straightforward to assemble, but the aging woman had no intentions of doing that herself. She waved over one of her staff to take care of the entire assembly.

Taking a moment, the Betazoid woman decided to take some air. As she exited the shop, a Human woman approached. She had short white hair, and looked as though she may be a part of the Starfleet crew off-duty.

"Are you open?" the woman asked, as Kemara turned to face the shop.

Shaking her head Kemara said. "Not for two days. I'm just getting it all set up."

The woman nodded and smiled at Kemara. "Thanks."

Kemara re-entered the shop. She looked around, trying to decide what to do next. Her workroom and fitting area were completed, she opted to stock her showroom and leave her office for the following day. In the center of the room was a stack of stock crates. She opened all of them and began to sort.

As she pulled a dress onto a mannequin she took a good look around her, and was proud of what she had accomplished. "I think I've found my place." She said to herself before returning to her work.
