[PM/Action for the Quad] [02]

[PM to Grell]

Hey Grell? Do you possibly maybe want to go shopping with me? I need help figuring out what's in style here and, y'know, a second pair of eyes is always good! And maybe you can help me figure out what the heck to wear to Homecoming.

[Action]

[Rikku really likes the quad. It's open, it's busy, and there are plenty of distractions from her stupid lousy Accounting and Stats homework. Ugh. Numbers yes. Stupid ways of computing numbers? Not so much.

And no, she's not in the bikini. Some wonderfully awesome NPC person gave Rikku a change of clothing.]

[Grins at Rikku. Oh, this will be an excellent shopping trip.]

This is as much as I'm willing to show outside of the beach. [Meaning: she wishes she could wear shorts. Too much skin being shown on her own body makes her uneasy. Go figure.] I think we just need to find the right dress!

[Rikku glances at her own hips]

Good luck. I got nothing here, just bone. [She smiles] Anyway, how do we get to the town from here?

[redcinemareel]

[Grell, being...not a girl, has no birthing hips. Stop complaining!]

You just need a belt.

[And she walks in a direction with confidence. She goes into town so often, she can walk there blindfolded!]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

[Rikku follows, bouncing]

So, any idea what you wear to homecoming?

[redcinemareel]

Dear Fates, when I found out about it, I purchased my dress a DAY later! It's quite an eye catching little dress~!

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

So we don't have to wear clunky old fashioned dresses or anything?

[redcinemareel]

The short answer: NO. The long answer: why not? Perhaps it would depend on how they appeared, I'd consider it.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad I can wear something cute. Are we almost there?

[redcinemareel]

Impatient, are we?

[There is a bit further to go, but the eventually make it to the town. Grell keeps walking in a direction, not even bothering to look around. She's been there so many times.]

Ah, here we are~! [A small boutique with nice clothing in Grell's opinion. The clothes can be easily mixed and matched, and the accessories aren't bad either. Opens the door and steps inside, instantly greeted by the saleswoman. Grell is their best customer.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[Duh. Rikku just follows, getting a little distracted by all the awesome stuff in town a few times.

When they get to the boutique, Rikku whistles, impressed by the service]

You must come here a lot.

[redcinemareel]

I was here last week. [Waves casually to the saleswoman before looking over Rikku's form.] Hmmm~...petite to small. Nicely shaped...

THIS WAY. [Walks over to a section for Rikku's size.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Yes, ma'am!

[More following]

What's petite mean?

[redcinemareel]

Meaning you have a small frame. Small sized clothing would not sit right on your body. [Rummages through some racks.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

That might explain why people keep having to take in any clothes I get...

[Rikku starts going through some shelves. She holds up a fairly plain blue dress]

This, maybe?

[redcinemareel]

[Looks over at the dress and analyzes it.]

You'll need some accessories for that plain dress.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Like a belt?

[Rikku's very simple when it comes to clothing, okay?]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell begins to list things she needs on her fingers.]

Belt, shoes, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, purse, hair accessories...

[Pauses and SIGHS.]

Something like... [Goes through a small rack on a counter, picking out some earrings.] These.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[Happy gasp]

I have three pairs of feather earrings back home! I love those things!

[redcinemareel]

They do scream RIKKU, don't they?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

I think so!

[She takes them from Grell and holds them up to one side of her head]

See?

[redcinemareel]

Lovely! Now, you just need a belt to make it all come TOGETHER! [Excited! Grell clasps her hands in front of her.] The masterpiece is forming right before my eyes!

HURRY before the muse leaves us!

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

The what?

[But Rikku is looking eagerly for a belt, pulling out a belt (http://resources.shopstyle.com/sim/c0/87/c0870a629cb9ad7be896d609b33c3836/melamed-bluefly-belts-black-leather-dna-studded-hip-belt.jpg) and holding it up]

[redcinemareel]

The muses. The INSPIRATION!

That's a good start. Hold onto that. [Shows her a more elaborate belt. There is a trend in Grell's fashion, sometimes.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[Sometimes? It's a good thing Rikku likes flashy. She takes the belt]

So...one outfit? [A quick look at her boots] And I don't think my boots're gonna go with this, either.

[redcinemareel]

It depends on how much gil you have. You can get as much as you'd like.
