I was thinking of something like "Gothic cupcake Jillian is still searching for a time machine and a personal assistant". What do you folks think?
Seems like it could be steampunkier.
Jillian is still searching for aviatrix goggles in pink and black striped satin. You may reach her via pneumatic tube.
Hmmm. I'm not going to mention goggles, because I kind of snark about them in the course of the story.
"Cupcake Goth Jillian is still searching for a time machine, thus allowing her to shop for boots throughout the ages."
Yes? No?
illian is still searching for aviatrix goggles in pink and black striped satin. You may reach her via pneumatic tube.
...before she leaves on her Zeppelin escapades.
Pete's suggestion:
"Cupcake Goth Jillian is still searching for a time machine from a reputable vendor".
Can 'time machine' be made steampunkier? Like, say, "chronological locomotive'?
The alt-text made me laugh and laugh.
I KNOW!
Jilli, how about Mechanical Personal Assistant?
Maybe call it Personal Assistant Automaton?
Jilli, how about Mechanical Personal Assistant?
Er ... no. Because WOW, could that be mis-interpreted.
Oh yeah! Chronocomotive!
I do like that.
"Cupcake Goth Jillian is still searching for a Chronocomotive from a reputable vendor".
Er ... no. Because WOW, could that be mis-interpreted.

I was just too lazy and undercoffeed to remember how to spell Personal Assistant Automaton as Tommyrot suggested.
Though now I want steampunk versions of Real Dolls.
