Hedwig Robinson, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"

[hedwigrobinson]

A slender, slightly-built woman staggered into the Sorting Room on high-heeled boots, emerging from a cloud of smoke, the kind a fog machine might make, stage-smoke. Wild eyes peered from garish pools of makeup, darting confused glances here and there. Hedwig Robinson tugged at the hems of her cutoffs and smoothed sweaty palms along her gleaming

((*fangirls MADLY* She is perfect!))

"You sing?" Lola smiled a bit. "Neat! We could sing together some time. Or if you're offering makeovers... I haven't had one in a while. It could be fun!"

[hedwigrobinson]

(( Oh, I'm so glad! She's hard to nail. Well, Hedwig wouldn't say she's hard to nail... ))

"Sing? Oh, I sing, all right. I'll never be silenced," she declared with bravado. "I could use a backup singer. Someone with whom to harmonize." Yitzhak apparently hadn't followed her to .. wherever this was.

Hedwig sized up the girl. Pretty, enthusiastic, didn't seem about to ask Hedwig whether she had accepted Jesus Christ as her personal lord and savior -- she hoped. When was the last time someone was genuinely friendly to Hedwig, who didn't want something from her?

"You have lovely natural hair," she said. "We could tease that into something truly formidable."

[nicknamegirl]

((Hur hur. I considered apping her myself once upon a time. Now I'm glad I didn't. =D))

"No one should ever be silenced," said Lola serenely, a smile still quirking up one corner of her mouth. "I haven't sung with anyone for some time, so I'd love to harmonize with you sometime. There's a place around here with a karaoke machine, you know."

She was an angel, but she wasn't, like, religious or anything, so Lola had no plans on trying to introduce any sort of holy person whatsoever to Hedwig. You handed your religion on your own, in her opinion. She looked delighted at the compliment, and her smile turned broader as her hand automatically went up to pat her hair.

"Oh, thank you! Do you have anything in mind?"

[hedwigrobinson]

"Karaoke, hmm?" Hedwig could rock karaoke if she had to. She preferred a live band.

It seemed a live band did not prefer Hedwig, however. Maybe they'd gotten tired of her holding their passports as hostage? Whatever the case, a veritable storm of wigs abruptly began flying out of the same cloud of smoke from which Hedwig had emerged. All of them were blonde. Most of them were rather ... dramatic.

Hedwig teetered back amid an onslaught of wigs. "Well!" She drew up her chin, deliberately composing herself, and with a taut smile picked up one of the wigs, a long razor-cut shag, very '70s.

"A look like this you would be able to pull off very well."

Charmed, Lady Heather gave a half-smile at Hedwig's application.

"I'll take the kiss, if you don't mind," she purred.

((Up for some hawt transvestite-on-dominatrix action? XD))

[hedwigrobinson]

Hedwig wasn't used to that kind of attention from women, especially women like this one, who carried herself rather like Hedwig's Mutti. A little suspicious, but game, she steadied herself and with a few long strides had closed in.

"Give me some sugar," she cooed.

She was mindful of the woman's hands. She'd be ready to dodge if claws went for her eyes!

[lady_h3ath3r]

((Reposting for pronoun gender, gaaah))

"You got it."

It was one hand, and it was going for the back of the neck to draw Hedwig down into kissing range. She leaned up and put her mouth to Hedwig's, and kissed her quite thoroughly before stepping away.

"Now that was a fine bribe," she purred. "What vote would you like me to give you, dear?"

[hedwigrobinson]

(( Well, not like Hedwig is living stealth, what with performing songs about her botched sex change operation, though she hasn't treated Hogwarts to any of that ... yet. XD So I wouldn't quibble with the pronouns either way ))

Hedwig, no mean kisser herself, only hoped her lipstick hadn't been too badly smudged. Thankfully, her cosmetics case had just clattered through whatever portal she and then her wigs had been flung. She could do a few quick repairs if she needed.

"I grew up in East Berlin. Democracy does not come naturally to me." Hmm, did she still have all her band members' passports on her? "Vote, schmote, put me up wherever there's a soft bed and a softer touch."

"Oh. My. Gosh." Right then, Kelly was the epitome of the word 'squee'. It came off of her in high-pitched, lip-glossed waves. "You are fabulous."

Finally, someone was bringing the sparkle!

[hedwigrobinson]

Hedwig was all about the high pitch and the lip gloss. "Why, thank you, darling," she said, pleased. "Fabulous is as fabulous does."

[anythingawesome]

"Do you do weddings?" Tinky-Winky was being Bridezilla to the max, but Kelly knew it was absolutely necessary to have Hedwig involved in the wedding. It didn’t even matter what exactly she was involved in. They just needed her presence! She would totally bring the fabulous!

[hedwigrobinson]

"Do I do weddings? That depends what needs doing, honey."

((Repost because I can close my tags, really))

Delirium watched Hedwig, curious. "Um. I like your stockings," she said, with an almost childlike grin. "Is Cher the cheese after love?"

[hedwigrobinson]

"Cher is the cheese that never stands alone," Hedwig shot back.

[endless_del]

((All right, once more, with feeling...I lose at html))

“Cher-cheese could have company, then.” The thought made her happy, and when she was happy the butterflies flew out of her hair again, swooping and vaguely sparkly. “I wouldn’t want to bartend in a wall, thought.”

[hedwigrobinson]

Hedwig watched the butterflies emerge from the girl's hair. This had to be a bad, bad trip. "Did someone spike my drink?" she muttered. "All they needed to do was buy me a drink, they didn't have to go this far."

Jack liked the Gryffindor answer, well specificially the finding someone and not letting them go. He gave a big grin as he offered a hand. "Cap'n Jack Harkness. Where'd you want go then, don't have to bribe me."

[hedwigrobinson]

"So nice to meet you, Captain. I always have had a weakness for men in uniform." Hedwig took the offered hand and shook it limply. "Where do I want to go? To the top, baby. Where I am going is a different story. I'm getting there in a handbasket."
