Sixth Floor Common Room, Saturday evening

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

There was a sign that said "NO BOYS ALLOWED" on the entrance, but how harshly that would be enforced would probably be dependent on how tolerant said Boys were of manicures, rom-coms, make-up, hairstyle fun, and jumping into the ball pit.

After a week like the last one, a little girl-bonding seemed needed.

[ooc: open like an open thing, and really, anyone welcome who's in the spirit of the girliness of this post.]

For someone who could literally change her entire physical appearance at will, Raven had managed to acquire a really ridiculous amount of make-up. Some of it was from home, stuff she carried around just in case someone started to suspect she wasn't just your average 1950s teenager. Most of it was from her and Hanna's shopping trip a few weeks ago.

Most of that was eyebrow pencil.

"We don't want to go too dark," Raven said thoughtfully, picking through the colors. "It'd clash with your coloring."

"What's 'too dark'?" Hanna was examining the pencils and lipsticks with interest. And the nail options-- she was kind of thinking of filing her nails to sharp, menacing points. "I don't really know what I want to look like?"

[tigerundercover]

"You don't want to look like a cartoon character," Raven said. "Maybe a dark gold?"

She didn't actually know. She almost never actually used any make-up. "We should play a game or something, too. Girls on sleepovers in movies always play some sort of silly game."

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

"Like the Spin the Bottle game?" Hanna giggled under her breath. "Or something else?"

She'd put on some blush. It made her look less pale!

[tigerundercover]

Or possibly more like a porcelain doll!

Raven sighed. "That was definitely fun," she said. "But I'm thinking more like . . . Truth or Dare. Or maybe a board game?"

The common rooms had to have some board games, right?

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

"I haven't played many of those. But I'd like to," Hanna admitted. "But what is the pit of all those colored balls for?"

Okay, porcelain doll was good, right?

Okay, the sign on the door had Jalian curious. She peeked her head in.

"I was beginning to think no place here was sensible enough to forbid males!"

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

Hanna looked up with a snicker, one half of her face made-up, the other as it always was. "We are doing them a favor. Unless they want to wear make-up as well." Then they were more than welcome! "Would you like some popcorn?"

[kenselvren]

"Thank you," Jalian said, coming in and taking a bit. "Why makeup?" She cocked her head at Hanna curiously.

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

"Mostly because I have never tried it before," Hanna admitted. "I like the colors. And I want to see how different I can look." She held out her blue nails with happiness. "Look! They look like claws!"

[kenselvren]

Jalian grinned at them. "They're pretty! Are they strong enough to cut someone?"

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

"I don't know." Hmmm! Hanna tried it on herself, first, and drew a little blood on her arm. "... yes. Ow. Brilliant!"

[tigerundercover]

"It's a long, proud tradition," Raven declared. "We're having a proper girl party."

[kenselvren]

"Knife-throwing games and archery contests and wrestling, with lots of boasting?" Jalian asked. She grinned; she knew enough about this time to know that wasn't going to be it, but hey - her timeline had its own notion of girl parties!

[tigerundercover]

"This time more like make-up and movies and doing our hair. And boasting. But those sound like fun, too."

[kenselvren]

Jalian frowned. "I haven't ever worn makeup. And I can braid my hair?"

Cecil peeked his head just barely in the door. "No boys? Really?"

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

Hanna looked up with a snicker, all dark eyes and no lipstick now. "You can come in if you don't mind make-up and popcorn. And watching a girl's sports movie," she said, a little shy. "I'm Hanna."

[voiceoverdue]

"Hi!" Cecil grinned and came in, relieved. "That sounds like fun. I'm Cecil." He stuck out his hand. "Oh! You've just done your nails; never mind!"

[hexentotchen.livejournal.com]

"They are pretty wet right now," Hanna agreed with a small laugh. "And sharp. I didn't think about that, when I was filing them to points. I may have to practice handshakes once they're dry."

[voiceoverdue]

"Oh, that would be helpful," Cecil agreed. "You wouldn't want to accidentally stab someone. I wonder how people with claws do it?"

[tigerundercover]

"It's a rule!" Raven declared. "We're having a proper girl party." She tilted her head. "But you could be an honorary girl, I guess."

[voiceoverdue]

"I have a very pretty dress, which some people think is girly?" Cecil shrugged. "But I don't mind being an honorary one! It's much less confusing than being a real one. Oh, not for you!" he hastily corrected. "I'm sure it's awesome if you are a girl, but when you're not expecting it? It's really confusing."

Because boobs. Cecil had no idea what to do with boobs!

[tigerundercover]

Raven remembered. "I like being a girl," she said. "I actually have fun as a boy sometimes, too. But I think I'm kind of an exception."

[voiceoverdue]

"Maybe? But it sounds like fun!" Cecil grinned at her.
