Theodoric of York: Wednesday afternoon

[iknowstuff]

Layla usually wasn't one for a beauty salon, manicures, pedicures, massages or the like but classes were now over for her and coming from her conversation with Karla the other day it seemed like the thing to do after a busy summer quarter

"There's no shame in enjoying it, darling," Emma called from where she was getting her facial, sprawled out and practically purring from happiness. "A girl deserves to be spoiled sometimes, that's all there is to it."

"Yeah, well when my nail polish flakes off in a couple of days I'll probably question it but right now I'm too distracted by-"

At that point one of the stylists started rubbing her temples.

"Mmmm. That."

[icecoldfrost]

"Yes, well, if you care for your hands properly and stop dressing like a color-blind homeless person, it will look nicer for longer. And then you just come in and have them do it again," Emma pointed out. "It's a wonderful system."

[iknowstuff]

"What do you suggest then?" Layla smirked. "That I wear all white and a push-up bra? Not sure how that'll help the nails though."

Karla had made a point of inviting Dinah along, and while it wasn't the same as say flying, Dinah was totally up for that. She was currently in one of the comfy, comfy chairs, getting a pedicure with shiny watermelon nail color, and sighing happily. "This was an awesome, awesome idea, guys. Thanks for thinking of it."

"Last week of school," Layla sighed happily from her chair. "Seemed like a pretty good idea."

[blondecanary]

"I didn't even know this place was on the Island. So cool." Dinah grinned over at Layla, then asked, "Did you really get bras for all the guys last Friday?"

Because that was kind of hilariously awesome.

"Underwear too," Layla chuckled. "It was worth it to watch the parade of transformed boys trying to figure out their cup size. Plus Emma got pictures."

Karla had decided to go for the full spa package, considering she'd never done this before. Though she seemed a little dubious now that the women were approaching her to wrap her in mud and seaweed. "This is supposed to do what for me?" she asked.

"Guys? Why am I beaing smeared with things? And--wait, I'm supposed to pick out a color for my toes?!"

[iknowstuff]

"The seaweed and mud are good for your skin," Layla snickered. "And the color thing is supposed to make your feet look pretty."

Layla wiggled her toes as if to emphasize that point.

[glacial_witch]

"Try telling that to the Court," Karla muttered, trying not to feel self-conscious as she stood, half-naked, and began getting plastered in mud and wrapped with seaweed. "Considering the number of times I got in trouble for coming home muddied head to toe."

The rainbow of colors presented to her for her nail selection was almost a bit daunting. "What colors should I pick?" she asked Layla. "What colors did you pick?"

[iknowstuff]

"I went with basic pink," Layla replied. "Just seemed like a nice color. Of course people aren't going to see my feet in my sneakers but I'll know if my toenails are pink or not. I'd say either go with pink or your favorite color."

"It's wonderful, isn't it?" Elena sighed. "I really need to come here more often."

Her nails looked amazing.

[blondecanary]

Dinah was getting hers shaped and buffed, and she grinned over at Elena. "Hi! I'm Dinah. I don't think I've met you yet, although maybe we had a class together?"

[findingelena]

Elena tilted her head slightly at that. Dinah? Unless there were two of them, she needed to talk to this girl.

"I think we have a friend in common," she said carefully, considering each word. "Zack?"

[blondecanary]

"Yes! You know Zack?" Dinah beamed at her, pleased. "Isn't he awesome? He's my eat-sugar-and-run-around buddy."
