Room 406, Friday Afternoon

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo was actually surprised to find out just how much make-up she owned. When she'd first come to Fandom, her tiny collection of lip glosses plus her one eye shadow and blush (neither of which got much use) had fit in a single little bag. Now her collection spread out over most of her desk. Sure, most of it had gotten tried once and then stuffed into the back of drawers as not quite her color or too much work to get just right, but she still hadn't realized just how much of the stuff she'd picked up over the course of two years.

She shook her head and grinned as she grabbed a cookie from the box that occupied one of the spare corners of the desk. Apparently she should clean up more often. She'd found a couple of unopened boxes of Girl Scout cookies stashed with some of her unused make-up. Ringo wasn't sure how she'd lost track of cookies, but she couldn't really complain right that moment because, well, cookies!

And now it was going to be a race between Ringo's appetite and her expected guests arriving. She wondered how many cookies would be left!

[ooc: Expecting a couple, but open if anyone else wants to swing by and talk to Ringo beforehand.]

"Your closet?" Kathy said, pointing to the small space on the rack where it had been. "It was smushed between two other ones and looks like it's been there awhile." She frowned at it. "If you end up wearing it, we'll probably need to iron it."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Huh." Ringo shrugged. It was probably fine to put it on since it was from her closet, right? Even if she wasn't sure how it had gotten there?

"Well, I guess we better see how it looks, huh?" Ringo turned the dress around in her hands a couple of times looking it over, then shrugged again and began pulling it on.

"It's actually pretty comfortable," she said after a moment. Then she did a little twirl. "I'm not totally sure about the color, but what do you think?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"I think the fit is spectacular," Kathy told her with a proud nod. "And that anyone who is into girls is gonna give you at least a double-take."

She kinda thought it would be fun to see Dante's reaction to a hot Ringo.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Yeah?" Ringo sounded hesitant, but also hopeful at the same time. "You really think so?"

She didn't dislike the idea of making people do a double-take. She was used to being just kind of there, so being noticed actually sounded fun.

[spin_kick_snap]

"I really do," Kathy said firmly. "Everyone here thinks they know you, Ringo. So you gotta shake 'em up a bit, let them know there are facets of you that they've never seen before."

She booped Ringo's nose. "You've gotta learn there are facets of you to explore, too."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo wrinkled her nose and let out a little giggle. "Oh, yeah, senpai? Like what?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"Like being a hot girl," Kathy said, heading back to the bed for more chocolate. "Like wanting to flirt and be noticed."

She gestured for Ringo to put that dress in the maybe pile.

"Maybe for a little more than flirting and being noticed if you feel ready for it."

Honestly, right around junior prom was when Kathy had blossomed.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Hey, I can flirt."

No you couldn't, Ringo. You never practiced!

She ducked her head. "I don't know if you should get your hopes up for anything else, though."

Ringo clearly needed more friends to notice and flirt with.

[spin_kick_snap]

"I don't have high hopes for anything specific," Kathy said, giving Ringo an understanding smile. She'd lucked out and had an Ezra to practice on, not everyone had. And Dante, even if he hadn't taken a turn for fidelity, hadn't been much for flirting. Unless Nice shoes wanna fuck was counted as flirting now. "Other than you having fun at your prom. Everything else can come later."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo nodded and smiled. "I promise to have fun, then."

"Though it won't be as much fun without you there."

[spin_kick_snap]

"What are you talking about?" Kathy laughed, pointing at her red gown. "I'll be there tonight. It's Dante's senior prom, too."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Oh!

Ringo perked up, then smirked slightly. "I hope he doesn't mind of I steal his date, then."

[spin_kick_snap]

"You'll have to work out some negotiation with him and Anders both, but I have faith you three can come to terms," Kathy said with a laugh. "But yeah, I figured you, Alluka, and I can catch a rickshaw to the community center together and everything."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"You always have the best ideas," Ringo declared happily, moving in for another hug.

"Now we just have to finish picking dresses. Then make-up and hair. And... more snacks!"

[spin_kick_snap]

"And your present," Kathy said, gleefully. "Which you don't get until you're ready!"

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Awww, I want it noooow," Ringo fake-whined like a brat.

"You're such a bully, senpai."

[spin_kick_snap]

"No, you're just spoiled," Kathy declared, nose in the air. "In my day, we were just grateful to be given presents, we didn't demand to receive them on our own schedules."

Yup. Back in Kathy's day, so long ago.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"So what you're saying is that it's okay if I miss your birthday?" Ringo teased.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy snorted. "Already did, sweetheart."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo stuck out her tongue.

"So does that mean you don't want a present?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"You saying you have one?" Kathy asked, laughing.
