[04] action/video

[is_offlimits]

 [Chel can be quite the worker-bee when it comes to appearances. Sitting at her desk, she holds what she had been working on for the last week up to her chest. Her jewels are spread across the dresser. Or what's left of them. She's not sure what she thinks about it yet.]

What is appropriate?

[She smiles to herself. Why is it so hard to fit in here?

[hoooly_ship]

I'm just the man for the job!

[kiiiinda irritated that she was inviting all the boys in on this, but maybe she was still mad. or playing a game to make him jealous. because it was working.]

[is_offlimits]

[Chel intentionally make Tulio jealous? Never.]

What if I want it to be a surprise? [soft smile]

[video]

[hoooly_ship]

Ohhh? Am I your date for the dance?

[is_offlimits]

[she licks her lips]

[action] ITS GIRL TEIM.

[nocorsetsplease]

[After seeing the video, Elizabeth walks down the hall of Joe West and knocks on Chel's door. Liz was all for helping with dresses.]

Miss Chel? It's Elizabeth Swann. Allow me to assist you?

BRING IT

[is_offlimits]

[Chel opens the door and is pleasantly surprised. She missed you, Lizzie.]

Thanks, I need it.

[she steps out of the way to let her through]

I made a dress, but I'm not really sure what these girls really dress like at formal events.

[nocorsetsplease]

[She missed you too, Chel]

Formal events have rules, but mostly, you want to be comfortable with the way you feel in a dress. [By comfortable, she doesn't mean physically. Poor Liz is going to be wearing that bloody effin painful apparatus under her dress.] You want to feel beautiful.

I'd love to see this dress of yours.

[Chel loves having a fellow woman's opinion. They usually respond beyond a vacant, perverted expression.]

Well, then I'll try it on then. [giddy, she throws off her clothes, completley oblivious to the fact that Elizabeth might be uncomfortable.

Chel assumes everyone has seen/wants to see her naked.]

[paraffinhead]

Unsure? Darling, what wouldn't you look good in?

[video]

[is_offlimits]

[Chel is talking to a candlestick.

But he complimented her, so she doesn't care. She just flashes him a smile.]

Thank you. And who are you?

[video]

[paraffinhead]

Je m'appelle Lumiere, but my friends call me...Lumiere! And what may I call you, madam?

[video]

[is_offlimits]

A pleasure, Lumiere.

My name's Chel. How is it that I haven't seen you around here?

You are quite noticeable.

Action!

[kissoftruelove]

[Rose is on her way back to her room when she stops at Chel's bedroom. She 's received the video and wants to see what her friend is wearing. She knocks at the door, hoping that she isn't disturbing Chel.]

Chel? [Oh, she'll just have to be direct. Rose giggles before continuing.] I want to see this dress of yours, ma'am!

[is_offlimits]

[Chel whips the door open and smiles at her guest. Lucky you, she's already wearing this in red.]

Hey Rose - how are you?

[she gestures for her to come inside, pining for a compliment like a desert pines for rain]

[kissoftruelove]

[A gasp. Chel's dress shouldn't have come as a surprise to Rose, but still, this might take some getting used to. However, Chel looks so beautiful, as usual! Rose steps inside the room and sits on the end of Chel's bed.]

Oh, you look absolutely lovely, Chel! You made this? It's wonderful on you! [No need to worry about a lack of compliments. As a matter of fact, Chel's dress has Rose thinking about what she's going to wear, as well. Rose doesn't know if her gowns are suitable for a...Casino theme?]

I'm doing very well, thank you. [She smiles at her friend.] I wasn't certain at first, but I'm going to the dance now!

[is_offlimits]

Really? [shallow Chel is shallow and loves Aurora because she gives really good compliments] Oh, thanks - I had my doubts, y'know? Didn't take very long, though. [liar.]

You are? Who are you taking?

[Frollo's lip curls and he promptly shuts off the video.]
