As promised, he's in a dress when he travels onward to pick up the girls. Tights, shoes, and long black gloves. Low and behold you can see the ink that splashes over his skin even if he remains masked. Not like he cared with the ladies he was keeping company. First, in to town. Gather up a few samples and such, then - girl time ~

[ooc:IS OKAY ♥]

If Säde is at all displaying any amusement at the situation, it's at Shishi's outift, because being dragged out under false pretences? This Ace is Not A Happy Camper.

[shiwashiwa]

(And sleep!)

Don't you even give him that attitude, girlfriend. No one lied to you. They are talking festival needs after a bit of shopping and over, you know, doing other stuff.

Hand meet hip. "I dyed my hair purple just to match this dress. Do you know how hard it is to bleach asian hair? It's ridiculous. I did this for you, Sade." A pause. "Tell me I'm beautiful."

You love him, just admit it.

[uncutclarity]

Avery bites her lip, her eyes sparkling as she tosses blonde hair out of her eyes. "You're fabulous, Shishi, you know that." She has a list. Mostly she has a list because it makes this whole thing look more official than dragging Säde out for a party.

Not that that isn't the worthiest of causes.

[falseflourish]

Wren's here, of course. Wouldn't miss it. She'll leave the wheedling of the Diamond Ace to Shishi for now, because who could resist that gorgeous little creature? No-one, that's who. Wren's already thinking of dancing, pageants, staged and rehearsed events. It must be a spectacle.

But perhaps first they can focus on their own outfits, yes no?

[ishineon]

Säde can huff with the best of them, but somehow Shishi never fails to make that displeased expression waver. "You're a vision in violet, Shishi, absolutely lovely."

But there's still a tiny cranky twist to her mouth as she turns her attention to the racks of clothes.

[shiwashiwa]

He's quite glad when Avery and Wren stroll on in with them. Yes, they aught to focus on their outfits first but they can multitask can't they? He looks back at the other two with a cheeky tip of his head. "Thank you, darling. It's my favorite colour."

"Now!" His hands clasp as he wanders the rows of clothing and accessories. Small shop and full of unique things. "Since I know there's been a bit of drama llama with Dafydd I thought he could use the distraction and asked if he would like to help with little pastries which he said yes, of course. We need to make a list of absolute musts! Also, we have a Novak bartending." Hands come to his lips as he peeks around a row of clothing.

[uncutclarity]

"A Novak bartending? Jordan, I assume." Although Hadyn behind a bar would be adorable. Also hilarious. "You ought to get Hadyn to do something. Isn't he in the Heart acting troupe?" She pulls out a blue silk dress and gives it a considering look before draping it over her arm and digging back into the racks.

"That reminds me, perhaps our new Two would be interesting. Grace is an actress."

[falseflourish]

"Hadyn's acting's slipped by the wayside for a while now, what with his medical training and... other training." She's dimly aware of that stuff with Julien. "But he'd probably enjoy the chance to get back into it."

And now to the real question: food. Wren's always been a slave to her figure. "All the usual sugar, spice and everything nice, of course... but we should make sure there's at least a few dishes that won't make me explode out of my dress, mm? Veggie hors d'oeuvres."

[ishineon]

"It's restraint more than anything else that will serve there," Säde says absently as she sifts through the variety of clothes. "Or perhaps a great deal more training to burn it all off, afterwards. Since Grace is new, it would probably have to be a bit part in whatever the Hearts come up with to perform- that is, unless you have something in mind, Shishi?" There's a mildly dissatisfied noise as she tugs one dress out in a flattering shade of pink and an equally unflattering neckline, and puts it back in again. "Oh- and what about music?"

[shiwashiwa]

"Other training, yes Jordon. I wooed him with flattery." he pulls out that classic shishishilaugh. Oh, Avery. You're a little behind on the 'what Hayden's been up to' gossip. No worry, between Shishi and Wren you'll be all caught up by the end of the night. He's looking more for things he can modify. There's this terribly cute sundress in sunshine yellow and bright pink, mmh. But it needs a little more flair.

"That's what detox days are for darling, or just encourage everyone else to eat more so at the end of the night it balances out. Huuu~"

"Well, Garette's doing a thing but at midnight, mon cheries, there's going to be a masquerade and we absolutely must, must, must have the best live musicians without question. As for Grace, I fear I know so little of our new card. Do we know her spotlights yet?"

[uncutclarity]

"I'm sure we can come up with some crudite, Wren." She pulls out a spring green dress and wrinkles her nose before putting it back. Really, who thought ruffles that big were a good idea?

"Grace? Not yet. I sent her to Paola earlier today to audition, so I imagine we'll have a full report soon." Likely early next week, which reminded her - her birthday was Tuesday. Wonder what they'd be coming up with this years. "Ah, a masquerade," she says, smiling. "I missed the one at Halloween."

[falseflourish]

"Restraint's all well and good, but it is a festival. Morning training with the Baby Ten should help, but don't lead me onto the path to temptation."

Wren's more excited about the dance than anything. Which is why she needs a bangin' dress. Legs out, she thinks, this time. So she's only looking at the short ones. Puffball? Crushed silk?

"Masquerades are fantastic. But this one isn't fancy dress but general glamour masks, is that right?" She prefers them, anyway.

sorry for holding everyone up!

[ishineon]

"I don't believe we've the time to prepare proper costumes." By Diamond standards, anyway. Säde tugs a bright red dress out, wrinkling her nose at the asymmetrical hem before shoving it back in. "Masks of any kind are much easier to procure on short notice."

Out comes another dress, pretty enough, but a size too small for her. Beyond that, quite a suitable colour for any of them, so she waves the hanger a bit. "Would any of you prefer this? It's lovely, I'd hate to see it go to waste."

Don't even worry your bum

[shiwashiwa]

He'd have to meet the new card. Certainly.

And from the corner of some large clothing pile you'll see a hand and hear a 'yoohoo' as it points downward. "Many masks, darlings. Alas our lovely Ace is correct. To prepare something up to standard might be less than easy." -- "Hurram, perhaps? I think she'd look darling in that."

He's shuffling through the yellows. One gasp. Two gasp. Three. "Oh my!" Comes the exclamation as he pushes the clothing aside to showcase these three dresses

"Ladies, a moment of your precious time please!"

[uncutclarity]

Avery turns from her perusal of the blue and lavender and pink and raises an eyebrow. Yellow? It makes her look almost all yellow, unless it's a bright enough shade. Hmm. Maybe the second one. She likes the belt. "Are we going with a matching theme for all of us?"
