Room 307, Wednesday

[heromaniac]

It was a good thing Momoko had no classes on Wednesday because her closet had obviously exploded all over her side of the room. And although it was because of something weird and it was due to her being at Fandom, it wasn't actual Fandom Weirdness, patent pending, that had her clothes flying in every direction. Her date with Warren was soon (!!)

There was a very chipper sort of knock. The type that implied there was bouncing, on the other side of the door. And possibly big sibs who brought helpful goodies.

[heromaniac]

"Hi! Come on in!!" Momoko called. She was examining something she'd found in the back of her closet. "It should be open!"

She had no idea where the skirt had come from, but it was definitely not in the running for tonight. Maybe not ever.

[the_merriest]

"Hey!" Rikku poked her head around the door with a huge grin. "Are you excited? Are you nervous? Don't be nervous, it's gonna be awesome. Do you need anything? I have stuff. If you need stuff."

She had a shoebox jammed full of a few assorted bits of make-up, hair clips, barrettes, a few stray perfume bottles, and bobby pins.

Rikku couldn't really do much with hair, but she certainly had all the necessary accessories handy.

[heromaniac]

Yay! Rikku! Rikku, Rikku, Rikku! Momoko beamed and tossed the skirt back in the closet to bounce the few steps to the door. "Ah! Excited, duh. But I can't figure out what to wear! Help me look? Please?" She spotted the shoebox. "Ooh...? What's in there?"

[the_merriest]

"Stuff!" Rikku said, holding it out. "I don't know what you had and you're probably way better at girly stuff than I am anyway? But there's, like, some lipstick and sparkly barrettes and stuff like that. In case you needed any. Do you have jewelry? Oh! And totally! That's why I'm here! Show me your options, lemme see!"

[heromaniac]

Momoko swept her arm out over the room as she stepped to the side and took a poke through the box. "Thank you! I'm not really sure what to consider as options, but there it is. Oooh! These are cute pins! I have some stuff, makeup and earrings. I don't wear much, usually. Ah! My belt?" She waved a hand at her power belt.

[the_merriest]

"Depends on what you wear it with," Rikku said, walking over to inspect the discarded clothes. "Sometimes I have to ditch my leg-pouch, you know? I hate that, I feel naked without it, but it really doesn't go with a nice dress."

She lifted a shirt at random. "This is pretty," she said. "How dressed up do you want to be? Do you know what he's wearing?"

[heromaniac]

"I actually wear it under my dress sometimes. Once I took it off to be in a fashion show and like clockwork, Mojo showed up. But I feel better about leaving it, now that I've been at Fandom for a while. There're plenty of heroes, if something happens." She grinned. "And I have no idea what he's wearing! I've never even been to the restaurant. Have you? Is it fancy? I don't have too many fancy dresses."

[the_merriest]

"Which restaurant?" Rikku asked. "I may have been there. First date, so you don't have to go too fancy but it never hurts to be a little dressed up. Wear something that, when you twirl around in it, you feel like you look awesome and it's comfortable enough to move around in. And not itchy or anything because it's so hard to pretend you care about what someone's saying when you're trying not to scratch your knees."

She smiled, reassuringly. "It's okay. Lots of heroes here. If you want me to watch your belt, in case bad guys show up, I can. Oooh! And if your date gets attacked with bad guys, you can give me a buzz and I'll swoop in with it!"

[heromaniac]

Momoko laughed. "Assuming Warren would need the help? The Compact on the belt is my only cell phone, now, so I wouldn't be able to call you. Would you? Watch it for me, I mean. That would be great! I don't really want to leave it just anywhere. It doesn't do anything by itself, but it's the only way I can transform on my own." She turned to the bed, sidestepping a candle. "And we're to meet at the Chinese restaurant in town. I don't remember the name."

She held up a skirt with an eager look. "With that blouse?"

[the_merriest]

"Try it on," Rikku bounced. "Oooh. And try it on with this blouse, too. Annnnd ..."

She was going to hand a few more items, to Momo. Look, this was important. It might take a while.

"Absolutely," she promised. "Do I need to keep it safe somewhere, or have it on me, or what? Can you slip the Compact into your purse? Do you have a purse?"

[heromaniac]

Momoko took the items. Well, all but one. "Not that, I think that's the one with a button I haven't replaced yet. There's one over here that's the same style, but a lighter shade." She lifted a jacket and found the blouse, then bounced into the bathroom to change. Yay, dress-up time!

The door left ajar, she called back to Rikku, "And you know? I don't know why I never thought to carry it in a purse. I could do that. Then I wouldn't have to bother you with it for the night!"

[the_merriest]

"You wouldn't be bothering me!" Rikku insisted. "I can watch it, I promise. I just meant, if you need it, or want it, so you have a phone and you can call someone if anything goes wrong. Which it won't. Do you have shoes? Do you need shoes? I have shoes."

She had no idea if they wore the same size, but her random little hiccups of thought didn't need logic behind them.

"I might have a purse," she mused. "But I don't know if it'd match what you're gonna be wearing. But, like, from dances and all that, when you get the pretty little clutch-ones and you throw your cell phone and a couple of potions in there?"

Just in case.

Rikku was weird like that.

[heromaniac]

"A black or white clutch would go with about anything, right? Not that I have one. At least, not here at school. And we don't have potions where I'm from, so it would be just keys, lipstick and phone in the bag. And maybe hairpins." A yo-yo always appeared with her costume if she didn't have one on her. How would Mr Beaubier explain that, she wondered briefly.

"Shoes I have. Did I ever show you the ones I got from Mister Deadpool? I love them!" She stepped from the bathroom, still adjusting the blouse. "I dunno. This looks nice, but it doesn't feel right."

[the_merriest]

"Then don't wear it," Rikku said emphatically. "I mean, you look beautiful, but it doesn't feel right, so that means it isn't. If you wear it, you'll worry all night that it's wrong."

She bounced up and inspected her little sib, anyway. "Oooh, I think I have a black one!" she added. "From prom last year. It's tiny but it'd totally hold that much. Should I go get it?"

[heromaniac]

"I can borrow it for the night? Really? Thank you!" She bounced in place as Rikku inspected. "Am I wrong? Do you think I should wear it anyway?" She smoothed the blouse against her side.
