[Curiousity gets the better of her, as Brietta timidly tries to sneak a peek at what Miss Kramer has to offer, the issue being the room is occupied. Turns on her heels, maybe she'll come back later. Hoping she hasn't already been heard in the hallway.]

[icestrikes]

[OHOHO, Edea didn't hear, but Arcas did, and he lets Edea know there's someone out there. She walks to the door and pokes her head out into the hallway.]

Did you want to come in?

[l33t_magician]

[Arcas is a snitch. At the sound of Edea's voice the girl halts and turns around sheepishly]

Oh.. I thought I might have been a bit early.

[Likes this cover]

Sure.

[icestrikes]

[He just wants to make friiieeeends.

Edea smiles because she is nice and smiley like that. She wants to make you feel welcome, tiny child!]

Any time is a good time. Please, come in. [She steps aside and motions Brietta toward the ROOM OF AWESOME DRESSES.]

[l33t_magician]

[Raphael plods along behind Brietta, stops and bristles at the sight of the bear.

She returns the smile, a little hesitantly, before entering the room]

Wow, you have so many. [A few of the pricier accessories catch her eye, but like a pro she doesn't allow herself to focus on them. The urge to "borrow-something permanently" was tempting. Feeling guilty she tried to squash that idea. Edea was being so nice.. but-- logistics helped to quell the idea more. Given Edea's position, it would be a higher profile case... too risky.. and exciting. Yes. She has issues.] Have many girls been in yet?

[icestrikes]

[The bear snuffles a little and goes to take a nap in the corner. He's lazy, and has no quarrel with the raccoon.]

They come from attending so many charity functions. I raise a lot of money for the Garden, and people make a fuss if you wear the same thing twice. [She rolls her eyes and throws up her hands as if to say SILLY PEOPLE, DON'T YOU KNOW I HAVE ORPHANS TO TAKE CARE OF?] Oh, about seven so far. They seemed happy when they left, and I'm glad to have helped. Would you like to try anything on?

[l33t_magician]

[Rafael eases up a bit, but won't stop staring at the big.bear.]

Even at a charity function? [That was a foriegn concept. You'd think any outfit would be fine at one of those. Must be one of those upper-class charity affairs, the ones where the rich flaunt their jewels and furs while pricey art pieces are auctioned off....] Whenever the next charity function is, you should let us know about it. I'm certain many students and staff members would be willing to donate [And it might be a great opportunity for her to borrow a few things permanently].

Seven is a pretty good turn out. Me-- Oh-- I'm just here to a assist. [I don't need any assistance myself.. dress wise or financially because I am poor, don't know who my parents are, and stubborn XD]

[icestrikes]

[Aw, he's small for a bear! About the size of a horse still, though, so intimidating for a raccoon. :B]

At the ones I go to, yes. [She sighs, clearly the frivolity of the upper-class is something she doesn't understand. She has to deal with it, though, and she's a pretty Classy Lady, so she's good at it.] It costs a great deal of money to house and feed orphaned children, and to supply them and send them to Hogwarts. If I have to wear a new dress to raise several hundred thousand pounds, then so be it. [She smiles.] I'll keep that in mind for next time, it's not a bad idea.

I expect a few more to come by, but for now it's just us. Are you sure? I have a few I think would look lovely on you. [SHE WANTS TO GIVE YOU A PRETTY DRESS, LET HERRRRRRRR B|]

[l33t_magician]

I would imagine that it does. How many children has this orphanage helped?[Oh gods, orphanage, is that not one of Bri's nightmare scenarios. She's been avoiding those things like the plague] Please do.

[MUST RESIST...] I'm sure I can manage, but thank you.

I hope some others will arrive soon... [Awkwardness]

I.. wonder what.. Hikaru will be wearing. [Instantly regrets thinking that outloud.. maybe Edea will think Hikaru Shidou and not Hikaru Hitachiin]

[icestrikes]

Hmm, The Garden is able to house about twenty-five at any given time, and since... our rebuilding after Ultimecia destroyed it, we've had about thirty-four, including the ones there now. Before that, something around seventy-five had gone through. [She looks all distant, but happy.] They often send me letters.

[She won't push, but OMG SHE WANTS TO LET YOU HAVE A PRETTY DRESSSS.] All right, if you're sure.

I'm sure they're on the way.

[Ohohoho is love in the air?] Hikaru? Which one?

[OOC: If you'd like, we can have a Random NPC student come in for a dress and they can help with that?]

[l33t_magician]

That's quite a few. It's remarkable really. [Disturbing/remarkable, same thing] Makes you wonder why someone would destroy an orphanage. I'm sure it is refreshing when you hear from them. [Okay.. didn't Ash stay in a foster home... or orphanage.... maybe they're not all bad... maybe.. but I never want to find out]

[Rofl pushing is the only way to get anything done XD Nods] They probably are.

[Love?! WHAT?! NO!?] Shidou. [Can not look at Edea while she's lying. After finding out her date is a pureblood... the girl feels like she should be dressed fancier than she was intending too. That's why what he's wearing is more or less v. important]

[ooc: Sweet, we can do that :D! In fact... here have a gaggle of npcs]

[A group of about three girls, could be heard in the corridor giggling amonst themselves. Selecting a spokeman for the group, a knock came at the door. They might as well see what Edea had to offer~ ooc:Feel free to do whatev with them XD. we can take turns with them too XDDD]

[icestrikes]

[Edea looks super sad for just a second. It was actually her under Ultimecia's imperious that destroyed the orphanage.] The wizarding world has been through a lot. [Her smile comes back, though it's a bit more muted.] I do like to know how they're doing.

[DISAPPOINTMENT AT LACK OF LOVE. OHO BUT SHE SEES WHAT YOU DO THERE. WITH YOUR NOT LOOKING. HER EYEBROW IS RAISED.] Hikaru Shidou, hmm? are you friends?

[Oh, look, interrupting NPCs! Edea lets them in and greets them, and shows them the dresses. They pick some out and she sends them to try them on. Adjustments need to be made on most of them, so they are split up! Some to Edea, some to Brietta!]

[l33t_magician]

[Omg. Brietta has no idea and would have felt horrendous for sticking her foot in her mouth again. Assumes the expression is just because it was a tragic event not from any sort of guilt. Allows the unpleasant topic to drop]

[YOU SEE NOTHING. COUGH COUGH. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain] Oh-- uh-- not really. She seems pleasant enough-- I think.

[Brietta nods to the other girls as her version of a subdued greeting. Having had to mend her own clothes for some time is coming in handy with the alterations]

[icestrikes]

[It's okay Brietta, Edea wouldn't hold it against you. The topic floats away on a breeze~]

[SHE SEES ALL.] I see. [Eyebrow. inching. higher.]

[Oh hey, Brietta's good at this. Edea sends her NPCs to pick accessories.] Do you do this kind of thing often?

[l33t_magician]

[As the eyebrow arches higher, Brietta feels even lower to the ground]

[Finishing up with one of her NPCs she looks toward Edea. Racing for a response she just says the first thing that comes to mind.] I wouldn't say often but over the years I've--

I've had experience with it.

[icestrikes]

[And some more eyebrow. WHEN WILL IT STOP? Nobody knooooows.]

Oh? Do you have siblings you do this for, or something like that?
