Room 227, Friday Afternoon

Natalie's week had not been the best. She didn't like feeling off-balance, and that was the only thing she'd been feeling since the break had ended. Or maybe even before that. So, she really hadn't been thinking of going to the homecoming dance. She'd not even talked to Sam about it. Sam being at the heart of why she felt so off her game lately and all.

But she'd just opened her closet door to dump a box of random crap in there, and instead she'd found a teal dress just laying there on her closet floor. (Upon closer examination, she would have noticed that the dress Joan had helped her buy for her birthday this year was gone. But she was too busy boggling over the new one to notice.) Putting the box aside, she picked the dress up gingerly, as if half expecting it to attack her or something.

Who knew it with randomly appearing dresses, right? This was Fandom.

When it didn't prove immediately dangerous, she held it up in front of herself. It was in her size, too, but... "How is this even supposed to stay up?"

"That's what double-sided tape for," Jace said, proud of himself for his awesome ability to show up in time for a quip.
whenshewasnice: (Don't feel like it.)

Natalie suppressed the random urge to stuff the dress behind her back or something. Because that wouldn't have been ridiculous at all.

"Yeah, well, is that something I'm supposed to own, too?"

She was used to her clothes staying up on their own.

[SP warning courtesy of random-ass social RL, wtf.]

"My sister keeps it," Jace said with a shrug. "Why get the dress if you didn't know how to keep it up?"
whenshewasnice: (Laziest of my words.)

"Because I didn't. I found it in my closet just now."

In most other places, that would have sounded so much like a desperate lie.

"Huh." Well that was weird. Not surprising though. "Think it was the island's doing or is it a secret admirer who wants to see your cleavage?"
whenshewasnice: (Considerable I guess.)

Natalie rolled her eyes. "Island, I'm sure." Because she didn't even want to consider the other option, okay? "Adding the tape might not have hurt, though, but what can you expect from a giant sentient hunk of rock?"

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-10-19 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"That hunk of rock knew you well enough to get a dress your size." Which was mildly horrifying. "Guess it really wants you to go to the dance."
whenshewasnice: (Flick of fingers.)

"Well, I'm not sure I want to," Natalie said, because she thought that should count more than the island's whims.

She examined the dress again, holding it up, then shook her head. "And it clearly doesn't want it enough if it wants me to work to wear this."

"What do you mean you don't want to?" Jace asked. "It's your last Homecoming, isn't it? Where else are you gonna wear that dress?"
whenshewasnice: (Not impressed.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-10-19 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's a dance," she replied, like that should have been reason enough. "I hate to be cliche but when you've seen one, you've seen them all. And this look like my kind of a dress, anyway?"

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-10-19 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is any dress your kind of dress?" Jace asked.
whenshewasnice: (Hide in plain sight.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-10-19 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure they exist," Natalie said. Mildly. "I'm yet to see one."

But, she considered the dress again, wrinkling her nose.

"The colour is okay, though."

"If you want me to go out and get you boob tape, I will," Jace offered. "It's what little brothers do."
whenshewasnice: (That's a stupid plan.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-10-19 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"... If you promise never to call it that again."

Natalie was just the most gracious ever at accepting friendly offers.

"Double sided tape doesn't have the same flair," Jace said with a shrug. "But I'll go get some if it means you'll go to the dance instead of...what were you going to do in here?"
whenshewasnice: ([neu] If you must.)

Independent study, mostly. Maybe also catching up on some manga scanlations?

"You know, let's just skip the answer to that so that you can save your comments about me wasting my time for another occasion," Natalie told him. "If you get the tape, I'll go to the dance."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-10-19 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's a deal," he said with a nod. "One roll of boob tape, coming up."

Yeah he wasn't gonna stop calling it that.
whenshewasnice: (How very stupid.)

"Ha ha, little brother," she drawled. "Just run along now, on your very important quest."
