I'm reppin' for the girls who taking over the world (semi-closed)

[rathercommon]

WHO: Kitty Jones, Keladry of Mindelan, Tej Stuffgoeshere Vorpatril, Lucy Pevensie, Blue Sargent, maybe Aerith???? other women they would have invited along???? all participants are welcome to bring more people
WHERE: A Capitalist Hellscape a.k.a. the De Chima mall
WHEN: The evening of August 17th
WHAT: Girls' night out!!! Semi-ironically engaging in shopping and other similar activities like a bunch of hipsters/people who secretly enjoy this sort of thing
WARNINGS: Consumerism...?


[ RESOLVED: That men are sometimes irritating and the company of other women is very frequently much, much better.
RESOLVED: That the night of August 17th is therefore to be given over to women going out and having fun together not in the company of men.
THEREFORE: Kel and Kitty put together fun things to do for some women, no boys allowed. These fun things take place at the De Chima Mall, and they include:

Going shopping (or, possibly, criticizing the capitalism that drives the need for these shallow, worthless consumer goods, if you're Kitty or Blue).
Getting mani/pedis.
Stopping by the arcade and shooting things/dominating at Dance Dance Revolution (if you're Tej).
Sitting and drinking coffee drinks in the mall Coffee Hut.
Staring in horror at the price tags on the cookware in the Willem-Soneema.
Having a delicious/terrible dinner at the Oregon Pizza Kitchen.

Go forth. Enjoy the pleasures of this terrible place. ]

[Lucy is late, because Lucy is the Ambassador and she had to squeeze this outing in at the last moment by politicking her way through a bad meeting with a guy who comes once a week to talk about how his cat is an imPort. So she's rounding the corner when she sits at the table at the end, and looks at Blue.]

Oh-

[She looks alarmed.]

But your nails are so colorful!

[The words would be passive aggressive out of any other mouth. Out of Lucy's, they're genuine. A furious thread of light is winding it's way around Blue's fingers.

If Blue looks closely, she'll notice that Lucy's earrings are not really earrings, but tiny beads of red light, pulsing there like tiny stars.]

[ Blue has just about decided she's comfortable in this group of girls. It's strange! It's weird.

But it's fun.

She's thinking about it a little when Lucy appears and it takes a second for her to react to the comment, spreading her fingers in front of her, which gives both of them a better view of the veritable rainbow of colors. ]

Oh. [ Use your words, Blue. ] Do you like them? [ Lame.

Blue Sargent doesn't know how to talk to girls who aren't related to her.

Lame. ]

[illuminescent]

Yes, I quite do.

[She reaches for Blue's hand, to take it, to admire more closely.]

I should think I would like such a thing, but my hands are so mistreated by me, it would last but a few moments before the colors chipped. But it is lovely on you.

[oceiteres]

[ Blue almost jerks her hand back, but she manages to relax at the last second. It's okay. That's fine.

It's okay here. ]

I'm not exactly nice to my hands either. [ Lots of crafting type stuff and yard work and the like. ] There's polish that's almost impossible to remove now though.

[illuminescent]

There's no polish at all, in my own world.

[Really, manicures are just not a thing in Narnia. Or Susan would have one twice a day.]

[oceiteres]

[ There's a moment where Blue opens her mouth and then shuts it again. Be in awe as you witness a rare moment where Blue Sargent thinks twice about saying something. ]

Are there a lot of things that are different here from your world?

[illuminescent]

Oh yes, near to all is different here.

[She isn't touching Blue anymore.]

I have been told even that my speech is plainly odd.

[oceiteres]

[ Thank you, smol Lynch sibling for letting her practice her power to keep it under better control. She wouldn't have wanted to blind everyone in the mall with Lucy's earrings and the light all around her hand.

The former of which she is kind of eyeballing intermittently. ]

It's a little different, but I don't think I'd call it odd. [ Her nose wrinkles a little. ] Seems kind of silly to give someone grief about that.

[illuminescent]

Grief is not something I have been given over it. Well.

Not as of the time I was voted ambassador, certainly.
