shiftingwinds | [7rings] catchall for grell

You really meant it? [Is what comes out of Grell's mouth. She didn't mean to say that, but here we are.]

Huh? Of course I did. I don't say things I don't mean.

Thank you. [She says, and that's sincere.]

I so rarely have the chance for anything like this, with other women.

[onward they go, then!]

Well, now you have the chance for it. So! Let's take a look at your closet, shall we? We can mix and match some pieces from the costumes with your regular clothes...

What sort of costumes did you receive? Mine were... a bit indecent...

Mine were a bit like that as well, but we can pick some of the more presentable pieces from each of them and combine them into something better.

Are you wearing anything from them now? [She's curious, because she hasn't found a way to incorporate anything (well, anything visible) from her extra costumes into her outfit yet.]

[she holds out her hands - peeking out under the hem of her sleeves, grell will be able to see a pair of lace fingerless gloves.]

These are nice, aren't they? The costume they came with was more revealing than I'd like, but they look nice with the rest of my outfit.

Well, those are revealing enough on their own, aren't they. [A little improper to say that, but this is girl talk time, it's fine.]

Ahaha, they're certainly more revealing than full gloves! But they're less revealing than not wearing any gloves at all!

Well, it's certainly more...

After all, if one leaves the house without gloves, it may be that one has simply forgotten them in haste. But those..... [HAND LINGERIE]

Ahaha, it's a bit more intentional, I suppose!

Where I'm from, women wear gloves whenever they leave the house. So something like that is very... intentional.

I see! We don't really wear gloves where I come from, so I didn't really think about it. I just liked the way they look, so I wore them!

They're very pretty, on you.

Thank you! [she smiles] I'm sure we'll find something to bring out your beauty.

[executive decision they're at grell's room now]

All right, let's see what we've got to work with!

[There are the two additional versions of her normal outfit, one with a brown coat, one with a red trench coat. A few pretty, lacy sets of red lingerie.

And then the costumes. There's a bunnygirl costume with high cut leotard and fishnet tights, some kind of... sexy cheshire cat look?? (it's pink and purple striped, not Grell's colors at all), a steampunk look with lots of brass gear accessories...]

It's really rather unfortunate.

Some of this could work, though.

[she separates out a few things - the black fishnights from the bunny girl costume and some brass-geared boots from the steampunk getup.]

These would look great together, I think. And it'd tie in well together with the brown on your vest and neck ribbon... [she hums] Something in black for a skirt, I think, and if we can find a black ribbon to tie up your hair with, or some darker ornaments if we wanted to style it...

I didn't receive any skirts I would wear. [She admits.] I've always worn trousers, and the clothing that many of the people here wear is... a bit unusual for women in the time that I'm from.

[But there are some assorted Mall Goth black accessories, necklaces with skulls, black ribbon chokers, and things like that, and Grell sifts through them, looking for things that will work for hair accessories.]

Hmm... well, maybe then we can forgo the tights, and tuck your black trousers into the boots...

[that could also work! it'd be a shame not to use the fishnets, but if they don't have anything they can use, their options are limited...

she peeks through the accessories, then points at a ribbon.]

What about that? It could tie in well with the boots.

Like this? [She asks, pulling her hair into a half ponytail and clipping the ribbon in.]

Yes, exactly! Ooh, that looks adorable on you, Grell!

[She does a little bit of a twirl, showing off her hair and the ribbon just a little bit more.]

You should wear these. [She says, picking up the fishnet tights and handing them over.]

Ahaha, who will see them?

[well, anyone who looks under her robes, anyway... she'll put them on, because why not]

Do you have a lover here?

...my, what a bold question!

[she looks flustered]

It is, but this is the sort of thing a lover would see, isn't it?

Ahaha, I suppose it is... but I don't have one.

How unfortunate. I don't have one either, but everyone else seems to be partnering up...

Still looking for tall, dark, and handsome?

I suppose so... But, you don't need to hear about that, we should finish this so we can get started on your outfit. [She's going to gather up the clothes to get changed in the bathroom.]

I'll be right back.

Oh, of course.

[she'll wait for her then!!]

[Grell's back pretty quickly, dressed up (though she could probably use some more help with her hair).

She spins, to show off the full outfit.]

What do you think?

[beaming!!]

You look great! Come here, come here, I'll do your hair for you.

I'll have to do yours afterwards. [Grell says, sitting so that it's easier to do. Her hair is long, aside from the bangs that fall across her face, and a spot in the back that's cut a few good inches shorter than the rest (thanks Vlad).]

[hmmm. she can work with that!

to cover up that spot in the back, she brushes most of her hair out and then braids the longer strands of her hair, pulling them back to tie them off with the ribbon in a cute style.]

What do you think?

[She blushes, a little, and brings up her hands to gently pat at the braid (her gloves are off right now, because there's no point in wearing them in her room).]

It's beautiful. Thank you.

You're quite welcome!

[me, sad that we can't have girltalk in the graveyard]

[Please die this week.]

Ann's hair was so short, I could never do anything to it. You'll have to let me do yours.

Oh, sure!

[just. agreeing immediately. does she know who ann is? no. is she assuming that's just a friend of grell's from home? yes.]

Go ahead, make me pretty.

[Sometimes your girlfriend has an unfashionably short bob and you can't make it look pretty.

So Grell's going to take a while on Shi Qingxuan's hair, twisting and braiding and pinning it into place. It's going to take a while, and they can talk as they work.]

I don't think you need anyone to make you pretty.

Aww, thank you! That's very sweet of you to say.

[just relaxing and letting grell style her hair... don't murder her please...]
