Pride Meeting, First Floor Rec Room, Wednesday After Classes

[wasthecuteone]

There were the usual moddable snacks and the jar for funds for future snacks on a table, but also, there was a bin of assorted trims and sewing notions, and even a few pieces of fabric, with a sign on it that read 'Free to a Good Home.'

"Hey, guys!" Petra said, sounding super-excited. "Next week is Halloween and we have the mixer with the frat and the sorority, so we'll be working on costumes this week so we'll all look fabulous." Which probably explained why she was sewing silver fringe onto a shirt. "I know everyone isn't as crafty as me, so I brought some stuff I'm not going to use and you can take anything that looks like it might be useful for your costume. And if you can't sew, you know, there's hem tape and superglue and safety pins, it's really just a matter of creativity and making do with what you have and your skillset." Petra sounded completely blase about this because, well, she was. In the absence of any better materials, by God she'd rip someone's ballgown apart and make thread out of it. "But if you hit a roadblock I'm here to help, and if you need second opinions I'm sure we'll all be happy to help you."

Before the Meeting

[wasthecuteone]

Mingle, nibble at snacks, poke through the free stuff. There's a high sparkle quotient.

Raven had some fruit as she eyed the sewing notions. She had absolutely no idea how to use any of them.

Hanna glanced at some of the fabric, contemplating taking a piece. She couldn't sew or anything, she just thought it was pretty.

Mercy could sew. If only she could figure out what to be!

Kenzi was already playing with a bright red piece of fabric with bugle beads, tying it around her head, her neck, her wrist, her waist, trying to see where it would look best.

Fabric. Wow. George was ... entirely out of her element.

Like, amazingly. Ask her to do an interpretive dance or something and she'd be about as fucking lost.

Marshall was humming a bit as he grabbed a drink from the snack table, kinda vaguely content. He'd told another person about the whole, uh, liking boys thing! And it had gone well! Maybe some day he'd actually tell, like, everyone.

During the Meeting

"So what's everyone going as for Halloween?" Petra wanted to know. "I'm thinking space cowgirl, but that could change to Holly Golightly at any time."

"I have not decided," Raven admitted, "though if my boyfriend is going to be here, I wish to wear something with leather pants."

And nothing with wings like she'd worn in a Halloween past.

"Go Raven!" Kenzi cheered for her.

Re: During the Meeting

[wasthecuteone]

Petra, unlike Kenzi, found this kind of...worrisome. "So your entire costume inspiration is 'look hot for my boyfriend?'"

"I don't know, yet," Hanna said honestly. "I should really start thinking about that."

She was not going to dress up as any pop singers, though. That was so three years ago.

Re: During the Meeting

[wasthecuteone]

"You really should," Petra told her. "It's less than a week away!"

Re: During the Meeting

"Maybe a butterfly," Tara mused. "I just think it would be fun to have wings."

Re: During the Meeting

[wasthecuteone]

"Wings are pretty easy to make, too," Petra said enthusiastically. "All you need is some wire hangers and some tights. And paint and trimmings, and then the sky's the limit." Sky's the limit, wings. That pun was totally unintentional but she realized it was there.

"Space cowgirl is cool," Kenzi had to admit, flopping down, thinking hard. "Vampire is overdone. And you just know the vampires around the island would laugh. Hmmmmm..." She started nibbling a cookie, considering.

Re: During the Meeting

[wasthecuteone]

"I would not in a million years go as a vampire," Petra said. "Ew. No."

Re: During the Meeting

"Last year I had a mask," George offered.

Yup.

"Most years I just go trick-or-treating so I can see into people's houses."

Help? Someone? Anyone?

Re: During the Meeting

[wasthecuteone]

"Okay, we have to do something about this, because that's kind of sad." And the second part was creepy.

Marshall frowned. "Y'know, I hadn't really thought about it," he admitted. "Any suggestions? Anything other than hockey player."

Yea~ah. He wasn't going there.

Club Business

[wasthecuteone]

"Do we have any club business we need to take care of? Related to the mixer or anything else?"

Talk to the Club Leader

[wasthecuteone]

She's still working on that shirt, but that doesn't mean she's not eminently distractable.

Talk to the Faculty Advisor

[wasthecuteone]

He's always in costume.

Re: Talk to the Faculty Advisor

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

IT WAS CULTURAL.

But Deadpool was there. And looking amazing in his costume.

OOC

[wasthecuteone]

FAIL, LJ. FAIL SO HARD.
