Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

Petra wanted to do an orange and black half-moon manicure for Halloween, so she carted her supplies down to the common room and started flipping through channels on the TV, looking for something to provide background noise while she worked and entertainment while she waited for her nails to dry. She found...crazytown.

After a few moments of jawdropped amazement, she concluded, "I don't know who this drunk lady is but I appreciate her commitment to insanity."

"I think I'd have to go agree with both," Rilla decided. "Oooh, what are you doing to your nails? Is this for the mixer?"
wasthecuteone: (big (genuine) smile)

"Both is probably accurate," Petra agreed. "It's for Halloween in general, so I guess yes. It's a half-moon manicure, or will be once I let the black dry and can do the orange," she explained. "That's what the binder stickers are for. It's one of your more foolproof forms of nail art."

"I've never painted mine anything other than clear," Rilla admitted.
wasthecuteone: (wide-eyed with alarm)

Petra stared at her for a moment before concluding, "That's tragic."

"Well, my last manicure was rather...sticky," Rilla replied. "But it also wasn't paint."
wasthecuteone: (say what now?)

[personal profile] wasthecuteone 2011-10-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that was confusing. "If it wasn't paint, what was it?"

Rilla looked embarrassed. "Maple syrup," she murmured. "It seemed like a very good idea at the dance..."
wasthecuteone: (Petra looks wry)

"Rilla," Petra said in the sort of gentle, teasing tone she usually reserved for, say, Tiara. "Did you get into the spiked punch?"

"I didn't know it was spiked!" Rilla replied.
wasthecuteone: (Petra looks wry)

"Uh-huh," Petra teased. "Of course you didn't." Then she laughed and said, "No, I totally believe you, it took me a few sips to be sure." Of course, then she just shrugged and finished her glass, but she certainly hadn't gone back for seconds.

"Who puts alcohol in punch?" Rilla demanded.

Rilla was from a special, special time.
wasthecuteone: (why do they always ask me that?)

[personal profile] wasthecuteone 2011-10-30 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
"...lots of people?" Petra guessed. "Lots of punch recipes have alcohol, I mean. But at a high school dance it's just some brat snuck in a bottle of something to dump in there." Probably Jenny Sparks, not that Petra knew that.

"No one ever does that at home," Rilla said. "Alcohol is for medicine."

Rilla was a little sheltered, maybe.
wasthecuteone: (we both know better don't we?)

[personal profile] wasthecuteone 2011-10-30 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, times are different now," Petra told her. And she was willing to bet not everyone just used alcohol for medicine where Rilla came from, either. "It's still not cool to get people drunk when they don't know the punch is spiked, though."

"I definitely wouldn't have dunked my fingers in a fountain otherwise," Rilla replied hastily.
wasthecuteone: (being pretty and thinky)

"Well," Petra said thoughtfully, "it was a maple syrup fountain..."

"And it was really good with those mini donuts," Rilla admitted. "I ate an indecent number of them."
