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. ]

[Kel chokes and shoves a fist against her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. She's never quite sure of the Rules in these stores. Eyes dancing, she turns back to Lucy]

Well, corsets.. I don't blame you in the least.

[She wonders, but does not ask, if anyone won money off guessing when the young queen would come down]

[illuminescent]

[Edmund won money. Edmund always wins money for those things.]

You should imagine me only in the most stubborn way, claiming I could live in the apple tree forever.

[protects_the_small]

[So much for self-control, Kel DOES laugh out loud at that]

What did the apple tree have to say about that? Though I imagine you could hold quite a good court from there. The comfortable root as a seat for those you were well-disposed to, and the knobbly one for those you wanted to go away.

[illuminescent]

I shall have you know I am well-loved by apple trees. The nymphs that tend them are very fond of me.

[She holds her chin up, and thinks-]

I did last near a day.

[protects_the_small]

Right until dinner? Was there no one to sneak you anything?

[illuminescent]

Edmund was quite clear that he would not assist me.

[protects_the_small]

He was the one taking bets, then?

[Tentatively, Kel reaches out and pulls a skirt off the rack and holds it up so Lucy can see]

[illuminescent]

He is always the one-

Oh, this is delightful.

[She nods enthusiastically.]

I would be most pleased if you wore it.

[protects_the_small]

[Kel ducks her head again, grinning]

A good one for keeping the bets.

Here's a smaller one, you ought to try it at least.

[illuminescent]

Oh, but then we would match!

[Is it okay to match?]

[protects_the_small]

That seems much more acceptable here.

[Mass produced clothing and all]

It would be much more comfortable in the heat than another quilted tunic with lion rampant.

[Said with a teasing smile]

[illuminescent]

I should hope that is not a slight against my standard, Lady Knight.

[Said equally teasing.]

[protects_the_small]

Only as far as the material Kanaya used.

[She carries both skirts towards the dressing room, since that seems to be the rule here...]

[illuminescent]

Oh, but-

[She follows.]

You would insist, yes?

[protects_the_small]

If there's any chance someone is going to hit me while I'm wearing it, certainly.

[Kel hands the smaller skirt to her and collects her dressing room token]

But this is less...official. While still being clear.

[The smile on her face perhaps hints at what she's making clear]

[illuminescent]

I think I should make it illegal to hit you, were we in Narnia.

[She can't pass laws on a whim here.]

[protects_the_small]

[Kel huffs as she walks into the changing room]

Is dueling not allowed in Narnia either?

[She allows herself a brief moment of imagination where she is in armor with a rampant lion instead of an owl...perhaps Peachblossom really COULD talk there.
But no, shake it away, focus on this skirt, which does fit nicely for all it wasn't made for her.]

I'm quite good at hitting back, you know.

[illuminescent]

Of course dueling is allowed in Narnia.

[She shakes her head.]

It is not so common, if you should know.

[protects_the_small]

If most of your subjects aren't even the same species as each other, that can only be a good thing.

[Walking out of the stall, Kel allows herself ONE twirl.]

I think I shall get it.
