A store on the mainland- Saturday evening

[throughaphase]

Last week Kitty and Allie had made shopping plans. That was before this week happened. And as much as Kitty wanted to be at home with Clint right now, by the end of the week you needed little breaks, to remember that the outside world was there, and to like, hydrate and stuff.

"Raise your hand if you're wondering how fast we can do this in order to get back," Kitty said as they stepped into the store.

[For the friendly neighborhood vampire!]

"That's one way of looking at it. Or you can consider it a meat market for the desperate and horny." She was only kidding.

"So, what are we looking for here? Sequins are definitely out. Vampires are not supposed to sparkle."

[throughaphase]

"Is a little black dress too simple?" Kitty checked. "Or do you want to go out of your comfort zone?"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Maybe a tiny step out," Allie said. "This much."

This much was a three inch gap between the fingers of the hand she held up.

"It depends on how persuasive you can be."

[throughaphase]

"Okay that sounded dirty," Kitty said. "Also be warned that we're doing this during the week that I'd throw red low-cut stuff at you."

Allie looked down at her chest. Or at least what there was of it.

"You can throw all you want, I'm not sure how well it's going to work."

[throughaphase]

"That sounds like a challenge," she said, and immediately set to looking through racks.

...Not those kind.

"Besides, that's why god invented push-up bras."

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Now that sounds like a torture device," Allie teased. "But I'll suffer for friendship's sake."

[throughaphase]

"This is why I keep you around," Kitty grinned. "Hmm. Is this too sparkly?"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"I feel like if I wore that I'd have a sudden desire to creep after you and watch you sleep." Yes, she'd hate read those books.

[throughaphase]

"That just... puts weird images in my head," Kitty said. "Yes or no on the color, at least?"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"I know right? But it's supposed to be romantic. Go figure." Allie pulled a dress off the rack and frowned at it. "I do like the color. But I think I'm too short to pull something like this off."

[throughaphase]

Kitty tilted her head at it. "It's not full length, so maybe it'll look longer on you?"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking about something a little shorter," she admitted. "If I'm going to wear heels, I might as well show off my legs."

[throughaphase]

"We're getting you in heels? I'm flattered," she teased.

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"I'm making great sacrifices for you," Allie laughed. "Besides, maybe I want to be tall for a night."

Only if you wore stilts Allie...

[throughaphase]

"I'm so going to have the photographer follow you around all night." She would not.

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Didn't I ever tell you? You can't take pictures of me. Weird vamp thing."

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

[throughaphase]

"Won't stop me from trying," Kitty sing-songed, brandishing a dress. "Look, legs!"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Possible," Allie agreed. "Or maybe something like this? It's not quite as clingy."

[throughaphase]

"This is the wrong week to dismiss clingy," Kitty said, tilting her head at it. "But when I'm not all hopped up on hormones, I'm gonna love that."

She reached out for the dress Kitty was holding. "Let me try them on and see how they look."

[throughaphase]

She handed the dress over. "Do you need my input? Or should I just find something slutty I can bring home while you're trying that on?"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't mind some input. I'm kind of new at this," Allie replied, slipping into one of the fitting rooms. "But do you want a dress or do you think something lingerie like would be more appropriate for this week?"

[throughaphase]

"Hmm. You know, I've never really done the lingerie thing much," she said thoughtfully, leaning against the wall outside the fitting room. "But what's this kind of week for if not to try new things?"

This was how she'd ended up in a threesome last year.

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Neither have I," she called over the door. "Maybe I should consider some. Somebody at some point would probably appreciate it."

"Hmmmmm..." Opening the door Allie stood wearing the dress Kitty had picked out. "I like it. But it's kind of straight."

That's because she had no curves whatsoever.

[throughaphase]

"A little." Kitty was still going to check her out a little anyway. Sorry, Allie, that kind of week. "You look pretty, though."

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

She did a slow twirl so Kitty could check out the dress from all angles, then closed the door to change dresses. "Thanks. It's a weird feeling."

"This...has possibilities," Allie said when she opened the door.

The cut of the dress almost made it seem like she had hips.

[throughaphase]

"First, you're always pretty. Second, oh, yes, this one," Kitty said approvingly.
