Sixth Floor -- Late Friday Afternoon

[icecoldfrost]

Emma had handwavily sent out an email to her 'dates' on Thursday, detailing her nefarious plans. She'd taken over the sixth floor, setting-up spots for hair and make-up, as well as making sure there were lots of snacks to munch on while they got ready. If other people wandered in wanting help, or just to hang out before the dance, that was fine with her too, but Emma was anticipating needing to fuss over Karla and Beka, and probably Triela and Tara.

This was totally her good deed for the month, possibly for the year. After all, someone had to set a good example.

And she was pretty sure she could get Morton and Rosto to pay for pictures of this. Details. They still had a dance to get ready for.


[OOC: Post is open to all the girls in the dorms, although the dates already know who they are. Up early for timezone/SP awesome. ETA: No, no boys allowed. If you try to peek in the door, Emma will brain-zap your butt back downstairs, and you will hiccup uncontrollably for the rest of the night.]

Hang Out

[icecoldfrost]

Emma's got various snacks sitting out: apple slices, candy, chips... but nothing that would actually require cooking. Be thankful.

Rose had brought up her kick ass dress (http://pics.livejournal.com/guardianborn/pic/0000hazw) and makeup and stuff up to the 6th floor, but she wasn't really in a hurry to get dressed up.

Instead she was hanging out and eating apple slices and wanting to see everyone else's dress.

Tara hadn't really planned on going to the dance, but Emma scared her enough that when she got the email, she went shopping and found a dress that did not freak her out too badly.

She hung near the snack table, munching on apple slices.

Emma had brought her dress up earlier, and had it draped over the back of a chair as she snacked on some fruit. Food first, then getting pretty. She didn't want anything to ruin her gown.

With little else she cared to do besides shower, get dressed, and brush her hair, Kennedy was pretty much set to go for the dance by the time she made it up to the sixth floor, but she would be more than happy to help the others get ready.

These were 95% honorable intentions, but the girl had eyes, you know.

The upside to being pretty much ready meant more time to help herself to the snacks, too. Couldn't go wrong there.

Beka's brought her dress (http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=341496&CategoryID=22120), aught else she'd have to borrow. She'd never really thought of face paint or perfums afore. She'd a feeling that'd matter little with Emma around.

Dinah had her dress (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3065209/0~2376776~2374325~6004967?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6004967&P=1), she had her shoes, she had... no idea what to do with her hair.

Hmm, foooooood. Easier to deal with first!

Karla had bought not one but two dresses for others to decide on. It was easier than deciding which one she actually wanted to wear.

"Help me decide!" she called as she entered.

Gabrielle had never had trouble acquiring some ridiculously lush-looking gown when an insane mission called for it before. (Well, there had been the Morpheus incident, and she'd had nothing to do with that dress, but she Wasn't Talking About It, thanks.) Her sources back home, though, were not her sources here, and she was short on dinars.

Artemis help the girl -- she'd showed up with her Amazon leathers. Again.

"The snacks are a nice touch," Elena said, hanging her bagged dress on a convenient hook. "Or is that because no one's buying me dinner? I don't put out without dinner, you know."

That was a total lie.

Harper was definitely looking relaxed and cheerful as she laid out her dress (http://www.bluefly.com/Necessary-Objects-violet-watercolor-cotton-empire-dress/cat620100/304406701/detail.fly).

Leda was a bit late to the party, but she came equipped with a dress (http://www.sereneorder.com/ladies-2/dresses-33/buddhist-punk-dress-flower-14553-11610_zoom.jpg), and an open mind in case anyone had any suggestions. The green in her hair was starting to fade. It now sort of matched the muted shades of the dress.

Ball Pit

[icecoldfrost]

Because if you came all the way upstairs, you probably want to jump in it a few times before getting all pretty.

Hair!

[icecoldfrost]

Have someone help you futz with your hair, because it's always easier with two people working on it.

Re: Hair!

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper fussed with her hair, trying to decide if she should wear it up or down. She was totally undecided and would definitely appreciate someone else's opinion.

Make-up

[icecoldfrost]

For those who are not yet competent with cosmetics.

Re: Make-up

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Face paint. Beka eyed it warily. Mayhap it'd not be a good idea to try it on. The dress was overwhelming on its own.

Re: Make-up

[glacial_queen]

Karla was there, playing around with some of the powders. Someone should really go make her wash her face--unless she was intentionally going to the geisha look.

(She wasn't.)

Emergency Alterations

[icecoldfrost]

There's a sewing kit, but good luck fixing it. Emma's not domestic in the slightest.

Re: Emergency Alterations

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Beka knew how to sew. Anyone who lived in Lady Teodorie's house knew how to sew. She'd be glad to help if anyone needed it.

Re: Emergency Alterations

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper came prepared with her own sewing kit as well as a roll of duct tape.

Hey, it had worked for her last batch of last-minute costume alterations!

Corsages

[icecoldfrost]

For the Girldate Party of Awesome, plz.

Emma went out and got a variety of flowers. Because a girl always deserves flowers, darn it, and shouldn't have to wait on a guy to get some.

Re: Corsages

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"What kind of flowers do we have?" Elena asked, sliding a bobby pin into a stray lock of hair. "I didn't get any of you anything. I was hoping 'looking hot' counted as my contribution."

OOC

[icecoldfrost]

Yes, I'm totes skipping work today. NYAH. I'm around, but may run out for errands and such.

Re: OOC

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

EVIL WORK SKIPPER.

I totally requested two hours of vacation time this afternoon. >.>

WE SHALL SEE.
