George's experience with slumber parties is limited, partly because she was never popular and partly because she tended to hate the sorts of girls who held slumber parties. Still, she doesn't mind so much staying up late, especially post-mortem. And she's got more nail polish than she can use on her own...

So she's sitting on her blanket and painting her toenails yellow. Maybe it'll make her seem more friendly.

[misspouncellor]

Having obtained her own bottles of nail polish, Nepeta was looking forward to how exactly the polish was applied, even though it seemed obvious enough. The idea of adding a bit of color to her hands sounded like fun. She bet that Kanaya would love something like this...if she were here with them.

She shyly advanced towards George, but smiled brightly upon reaching her. "So that's how you do it."

[akapeanut]

George looked up, momentarily confused. "You...don't know how?"

Well, she was an alien or something, right? Maybe they don't have nail polish where she comes from. Her nails were already yellow anyway. Or were they claws?

"Uh...yeah, this is basically it. Do you...want me to do yours?"

[misspouncellor]

Rest assured, she had nails a lot like George. Just very grey in color. "Nope! But it looks easy enough! You just flick'em a bit with this little brush and-" Nepeta flung a dot of red nail polish on her nose. Trolls and fashion aren't a common combination.

[akapeanut]

George couldn't hold back the amused smile this brought out of her. "Um, not flicking so much as, uh, brushing. Like if you were painting a house or something?" Maybe she doesn't live in a house, though. These grey kids are weird.

[misspouncellor]

"Oh! I think I get it. It's like updating the-" She paused, then stopped to giggle. "Nefurmind!" The second approach was much more focused and controlled. Sticking her tongue out probably didn't provide as much extra focus as she thought it did.

[akapeanut]

Wow, what a goofy...well, she looked like a kid. "How old are you, again?"

Not that she probably asked a first time.

Rei just watches from a little ways away. She doesn't see the point of this exercise but...well. Maybe that's just her inexperience with all things normal?

Anyway, she remembers her classmates having painted fingernails, and it's something to at least know how it was done.

[akapeanut]

George is pretty meticulous about her nail polishing. She rarely has to do any clean-up, but it's always kind of hard to reach her toes. She's just reaching for her bottom of nail polish remover when she is suddenly struck by the feeling that someone's watching her.

...Oh, hey. Someone is watching her.

"Um. Hi." She can't help but straighten up a little, uncomfortable. How long was this chick just staring? Geez. "Do you...want me to do your nails or...something?"

[second_first]

"Why?" The question is more broadly applicable than just asking why she would want her nails done. She doesn't understand the appeal of painting one's nails in the first place.

[akapeanut]

George crinkles her brow. "Uh...well I can let you do them yourself to. I just...thought it's more fun to do each others. Maybe a little easier too. But uh, if you'd rather just borrow some...."

[second_first]

Rei moves a little closer. That didn't answer her question, but maybe she can figure it out for herself if she participates.

"I don't know how."

[akapeanut]

"Um, then I can show you, if you want." Man, what is it about this place? Did everyone here come from places where nail polish was never invented?

"Do you...know what color you want? We could do blue to match your, um, hair."

[second_first]

"Okay." Rei moves over to sit within arms length of George. Looking at George's yellow toenails, she remembers the whole "introducing yourself" thing and somewhat awkwardly adds, "I am Rei."

[akapeanut]

"I'm George. Uh, give me your hand."

George settles Rei's left hand on her own thigh and opens the bottle of polish, starting on her index finger first. Hm, she better explain it some, huh?

"See you just kind of, um, wipe off the excess on the bottle and then...start in the middle of the nail..." Brush brush brush. "Such a pretty color, um, right?"

[second_first]

Rei nods slightly, watching George's motions. Blue is her favorite.

"Why do you do it?"
