(Budding Thorns) Gala Prep

[Mhairi Ankaa]

"The Blue Note will hire you for sure. Sasha always has a place for one if hers, but you might also want to check out Funderland Amusemebt Park." she says taking a sip of pop to try and cool her burning mouth, "It's basically the place for us to hang out." Mhairi days, it wasn't hidden. There were signs everywhere leading to the Park.

The anecdote causes the Wisp to giggle, "Oh...wow. And. five hundred?!" Mhairi shakes her head amazement plain. "Good for you, but why didn't they google it?" again she shakes her head, whipping her hands with a napkin, "No, don't answer they were probably drunk still, and panicking. But how in the heck did they break their toilet?" it might not be good topic when they were eating but Mhairi couldn't think of how frat guys broke it, even if they were drunk and partying.

[Seraphina]

Eagerly nodding, “Sasha was wonderful and gave me a job when I first arrived.” She had to admit, the Winter was a sweetheart, always looking to help.

Smirking, “Though I won’t lie, I’ll keep you in mind if something at my coffee shop breaks. I’d much rather give the money to a friend than some stranger.” A nod.

The Nix giggles as well, hers musical in tone, “That’s quite inventive of you. Though don’t they say duct tape can fix anything?” she was pretty sure she’d heard that somewhere.

“And yeah, five hundred?! Maybe I should change professions and learn to fix things.” She says with a lopsided grin.

Looking to Mhairi, “Maybe some things are better off unanswered.” Learning how drunk frat guys broke a toilet wasn’t high on her list.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

More nodding and laughter from the wisp. "Oh my. Was he really that scared of a spider or was there more then acohol involved...?" another head shake. "No. Don't a see that. I really don't want to know."

Cleaning up the remains if her meal and collecting all trash to save the cleaning staff the haste of cleaning up after them, as a former maid, she knew their pain and tossed everything in the trash.

"Hey, Sera and I need to hunt for some dresses, would you like to hang around and offer another opinion? Or are you wanting to head out and find Sasha?"

[Seraphina]

His laughter was contagious, she laughs as well, “Oh, I would have paid money to hear a banshee wail coming from a big linebacker!” she laughing.

“But in all fairness, screaming and becoming a ninja when you see a spider is an acceptable response.” She tries to nod seriously, but was still laughing. “Cause you would have been lucky if I didn’t burn the house down.” She did not do spiders. Nope, no way.

“And drunk frat boys trying triage, classic!” she loved stories that made her laugh. And his was a good one.

Sera see’s what Mhairi did and copied. She’d waited tables many times to know how helpful it could be.

“Oh, well I was thinking of looking for more of a power suit type thing. I usually always do dresses so I wanted to see if I could pull off a different look.” A nice tailored pair of pants and jacket could send a powerful message.

“But yeah, you’re more than welcome to join us. I always welcome second opinions.”

[Mhairi Ankaa]

"Oh. Uhhh. Sorry." Mhairi blinks, motes of green fire wick away, burning into nothing the farther they drift. "I just assumed. But yeah. A suit could look amazing in you. All business, or relaxed or sexy?" Mhairi asks, thoughts realigning.

"Might do a bit of window shopping too. Can't really afford to much." the wisp admits as they begin heading in the direction of the first store. "But we need to go to this party...hey John? Have you heard of someone called Robert Page?" Mhairi asks wondering if it had just been her and Sera to find the glamour touched graffiti and discovered its probable connection to the...artist.

[Seraphina]

Snorting, “Yup, that would probably be my house.” She just did not do spiders. Nope. No way.

Looking to John, “1920’s attire?” thoughtful for a moment, “That could actually be fun. Would make for a great convo starter too.” Commenting on others clothes, or getting them yourself, were great ice breakers.

A grin and a dismissive wave of her hand, “No worries. I usually go the path of a nice skirt with a heel, but I want to try something different.” Yup, nod. “How about a mixture of business and sexy? Technically I am a business owner, so it wouldn’t be too far off. But nothing too stiff, need to look approachable.” Cause that was key to playing a room.

Walking beside the Wisp, “Are you going dress, skirt or pants?” she asks, “And you could always try and find a signature piece. Like an amazing shirt that fits just right. Or a skirt that can highlight some killer heels. Play off what you already have.” She’d done it numerous times. Used the same black skirt but with different shirts.

And then she asks the new guy about Page. The Nix wasn’t sure if she would have been so bold herself. They did just see the sign and all.
