The Sixth Floor, Friday Afternoon (Pre-Dance)

[icecoldfrost]

Once again, Emma had 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 people got ready. She was 'helped' in all this by a terrier puppy who was running around, supervising all the details.

After all, so many of the people at Fandom were completely hopeless when it came to things like this. It was her civic duty to try and at least prevent people from embarrassing themselves.


[OOC: Post is open to all the girls in the dorms! No, no boys allowed (EXCEPT THE AUTHORIZED CRASHER WHO KNOWS WHO HE IS). If you seriously annoy Emma, she will brain-zap your butt back downstairs, and you will hiccup uncontrollably for the rest of the night. ETA: UP. FINALLY. I'm around on SP until 6CST, and then AFK until 11ish.]

Hanging Out/Snacking

[icecoldfrost]

Eat BEFORE you get in your dress, or Emma will give you a sadface!

Rose didn't feel she was anywhere near needing help getting ready, but she couldn't deny it was way more fun to get ready with a bunch of friends.

...and it distracted her from how much she missed Lissa on days like this.

Still, she was in a generally amazing mood as she snacked on some food - okay, a lot of food, but her training hadn't exactly been cut short so she was starving - and looked around for people to be girly with.

Elle had her dress (http://www.bluefly.com/Badgley-Mischka-Platinum-Label-black-beaded-strapless-sash-detail-gown/cat20110/306969901/detail.fly) in a garment bag draped over one arm.

Her hands were busy balancing a plate and putting stuff on it.

"Hiii!" she said with way too much cheer.

Okay, one good thing about not having to get ready for prom? Karla was free to snack all she wanted. Of course, she was being careful and keeping her hands free so that she could help her friends with their dresses and things, but their were plenty of carrots and apple pieces and the like that she could eat and not worry.

In some ways, she felt like a little girl again, watching the ladies of her mother's Court get ready for a function before being sent off to bed. This didn't help with the slight melancholy she was feeling. Not because she couldn't go to prom, but because she could feel graduation looming over them.

Still, she did her best to remain cheerful and excited. It was their day, and Karla wasn't going to be all gloomy about it.

"You know, we could still do your hair," Emma said, leaning over Karla's shoulder to steal an apple slice. "There's no reason for you to sit about on your hands."

Effy didn't need help dressing herself up, but that wouldn't stop her from pausing to observe the flurry of girly activity on her way down from a quick pre-dance smoke break.

"Helping those less fortunate," she noted. "Very sweet."

Leia wasn't hopeless! She was a princess after all, she knew all about getting dressed up all fancy like, and doing horrible things to her hair. Which she did not intend to do tonight. She'd put it up, but keep it relatively simple.

Snacks. Snacks were good. And so was being girly. Kate kept forgetting that, lately; for some reason she was always hanging out with guys, nowadays.

So, the company of other girls was a welcome change, and she was in a very good mood. ...Although that might've also had something to do with having a date, too.

Hey. Kennedy didn't need help getting dressed, thanks; she was really just here to hang around. And enjoy the scenery, because come on, it would be criminal to let all this go unappreciated.

She was, like she tended to, rocking a pair of snazzy suspenders and her jacket was still on its hanger and dangling from the nearest curtain rod forcibly pressed into service for the occasion. Kennedy herself was lounging in one of the chairs, looking far too cheerful as she fiddled with her collar and debated whether to leave just the top button of her shirt undone, or go for two. Going for two was most likely going to win, because really, why do things half-assed?

"I think you've thought of everything," Elena said appreciatively as she bustled in, dress (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/elena/9004_fe.jpg) in tow. "Except now my hot date's going to see me get ready. Isn't that against the rules?"

Jill nibbled nervously at some of the snacks. Ahh, senior prom! It was here!

She was not going to freak out, she kept telling herself. Everything was going to be just fine.

A glance in the room said that, while she knew most everybody there, none of them were particularly close friends of hers. ... Ino silently acknowledged that she was kinda fail at socializing lately. Boo.

... But if you thought that was going to stop Ino from entering then you had the wrong girl in mind, yeah. She was indoors! For longer than it took to shower and scramble into clothing for the first time in almost a week. Ino was allowed to want to hang around other girls, yes.

And see what sorts of dresses the others had. She was curious. Okay, the snacks were a draw too. Did she really need to keep mentally justifying herself here? Ino told herself to cut it out.

Morgana had gotten used to having to dress herself, but years of dressing with Gwen made her realize that it wasn't just the assistance that was nice, but having someone to talk to while getting ready. "I didn't think there would be so many people here," she said as she came in.

Dinah was still trying to decide on her dress. She had three choices, three colors, and no idea what she wanted to wear.

Doomed. So doomed.

HELP!

[icecoldfrost]

For those in-need of hair or cosmetic assistance. Emma's brought up her box of styling supplies, and some of her extra/cast-off make-up, that anyone can use.

Re: HELP!

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela showed up a bit early. Her dress (http://www.edressme.com/scala-prom-12002w.html) wasn't a problem by now. The skirt was long enough to cover a thigh holster and short enough to be easy to move in.

Which helped offset the fact that she was showing so much leg.

Anyway, the dress was fine. But she knew she needed help with hair and make-up, and Emma was one of the few people she trusted on that front.

Re: HELP!

Given Rose's hair, it probably wasn't surprising she had a pretty big collection of hair stuff, and she'd brought it all up with her to share.

For herself, her hair was just being blown out and maybe curled a little. Possibly there'd be silver clips in it but it was definitely hanging loose.

Re: HELP!

[iamnotallgirl]

Okay, so Jill didn't know most of these girls, but that was her own fault, and God knew she needed help with her hair. At least it was long enough to do something with by now.

Not that she actually voiced this, at least at first; she just sort of sat there and fiddled with her hair self-consciously. Possibly she was still a little nervous about her dress. She loved it, she just was worried it was too bold. Or something. Worrying was pretty much what Jill did.

Re: HELP!

[life_inshadow]

Tara's dress was simple and classic enough that she was comfortable with it, but she'd be endlessly fiddling with her hair.

Braid? Updo? Wacky dual buns like Leia?

And then there were the six pairs of earrings she was considering. It was a trial.

Taking Pictures!

[icecoldfrost]

Because there always needs to be the flurry of pre-dance posing and giggling.

Re: Taking Pictures!

[glacial_queen]

Karla was there with a camera, snapping pictures of people getting ready--with permission of course. And occasionally handing the camera off to someone else to get a picture with her friends. Smile!

The Ball Pit

[icecoldfrost]

In case you are FIVE and want to jump around and throw balls at each other while all dressed up. Again, it will cause sadfacing from Emma.

OOC

[icecoldfrost]
