Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening - Sewing Party

[holy-daughter.livejournal.com]

Lucrezia wasn't certain how time passing here affected time's passage back home. If the ratio were a simple one-to-one, then today would be her sixteenth birthday. But she had not been gone nearly so long in reality, which meant it seemed false to claim it as such, even if she had perhaps lived the days necessary.

What was required for today was an alternative to the increasingly aggravating costumes the guests had insisted upon. Lucrezia had many old dresses that she did not mind sacrificing to this cause; there simply had to be a way to extend her dress such that it fell to the floor as dresses ought to do. And perhaps some petticoats underneath?

She had enlisted Petra's assistance, and the two had decided that this should be open to any who wished to change their garb -- or, even more simply, to come and spend time and gossip about their odious benefactors.

The sign outside the common room simply read, SEWING PARTY. Snacks and drinks provided, as well as copious amounts of needles and thread -- bring only yourself and, should you like, the atrocity known as your school uniform.

(wasthecuteone modded with permission. Sewing party! All are welcome! Come if you want tweaks to your outfit, or if you just want to hang out.)

Petra had not carted all her stuff to the common room this time because, for one thing, her sewing machine was heavy and there were a lot of stairs between here and her floor. So she had some basics and supplies, and could go back upstairs to work on any major projects anyone brought her.

"Hey, people." Kenzi wandered in from one door down, sucking on a lollipop, and watching the proceedings. "Do you think I could get away with making my skirt even shorter, if I was wearing hose?"

"Ladies," Hank said with a nod as he pretended to tip a had to the people sewing. "Just what are we celebrating?"

Stacey was showing up here wearing a tank top and lounge pants and it was all because she had her uniform in one hand declaring, "I need this made decent."

Stupid school board here all stupid week.

Seifer was dressed in track pants and a tank top when he made his way to the sewing group. His uniform had more than a few tears in the lower legs and sleeves.

"Can anyone patch this thing up? I don't care what you use."
