Who: Ilde Decima, Jules Grumley, Hasi Ozcelik
What: Girls Night Out
Where: Hasi's apartment, then Gutters.
When: The same evening as this and this.
Notes: part of an episodic story arc! Also, OUTFIT REFERENCE, because you all care as much as we do.
Warnings: Incidental violence, frank discussion of sexual situations. Ding me if I've missed something.

Ilde leaves Ivan's flat shortly after texting Jules, leaving a note behind (out for the evening, call you later) and heading back to the villa to change into something that doesn't say 'I sat around my boyfriend's apartment painting my toenails all evening'. (Is it really necessary to leave her perfume on everything he owns? Likely not.) It's a while before she's expecting Jules, which leaves her time for all the parts of evening preparation that she isn't going to handle with illusion (cuts her make up budget by about two thirds, that); large parts of this involve pushing Orion off the end of her bed before he can sit on the dress she just took off and trying not to speculate about exactly what's going on with Hasi and Mitchell.

She's aware (has long been aware) that she's not exactly ideal to be anyone else's sounding board or anything like emotional support, but at least she can provide alcohol, diversions and in at least the figurative sense a sympathetic ear. Maybe if it's like gifts, the thought that counts, it'll be something just that she tries. The sentiment feels too Disney to solidify and she discards it along with something feather-trimmed and probably too much for clubbing; they'll have a few drinks and do something stupid (there are tunnels deeper into Gutters that she hasn't seen the inside of and would like to) and it'll be fine.

Jules, who she gives a quick opportunity to pick through her shoe collection before they leave for Hasi's, is probably right to be slightly concerned. All things considered.

Comments

From Hasi's corner when Jules changes there is only this comment, lacking (unsurprisingly) in scandal: "Oh, you are wearing underwear!"

Look, sometimes this one doesn't; she assumes this also applies to other people. Hasi moves to obtain the fishnets, glancing over her shoulder to study the dress's sit on Jules' frame. Package of dark-purple stockings acquired, she drops them on the bed as an offering. "That looks really good. Something in the way of accessories next, and you should be set."

"A necklace," Ilde opines, opting to let Gutters ultimately speak for itself when they get there; Jules will probably figure out more or less what she meant at that point. "I think something...I don't know, something bright."

Jules chuckles a bit as she turns, rolling her eyes and grabbing the stocking to prepare herself for battle. "Only for special occasions and changing in public."

Of course, she pauses midway through her heroic struggle with the fishnets to tilt her head at Ilde, eyebrow arched. "That sounds very likely to draw attention to my neck. Do you want me to get bitten?" Playful, of course, although she can't help but wonder what would happen if she got bitten. Not anything good for the vampire in question, she imagines.

"What do you girls need to do before we go?"
