Land Shark Common Area, Tuesday Night: Impromptu Girls' Slumber Party

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa's BFF Ariel was having a rough week. That was no fun. And -- inspired by the fact that most of her cabinmates were female (seven of the eight of them, in fact) -- Rinoa had had an Idea.

Which was: a completely disgustingly girly party. Pajamas, make-overs, gossip, and really bad romantic comedies.

Rinoa had her jammies on already, and had made Ariel help her set up. Munchies, make-up, and movies. What more could they want?

She had even posted a few so very handwavey signs outside, in front of their cabin and places where the other cabins might see, with the important points: Girl Party, exactly how girly it was going to be, and NO BOYS ALLOWED.

Except Jono, since he was the eighth boy in the cabin and all. He could be an honorary girl for the night!! Wouldn't he be thrilled?

Especially if someone tried braiding his hair.

(OKAY SO: whore4trash and furnace_face modded with permission, and they totally rock for jointly inspiring this post. This is in the landshark common room but is totally open tooooooo:

- anybody who lives in Landshark, naturally!
- any girl student who wants to come hang out and be nauseated by the frou-frou-ness of it all
- despite the poster, any BOY student who wants to come can totally either (a) run screaming in terror or (b) stay and be girly. Fair warning: staying means you WILL be forced to endure horrific romcoms and probably get your nails painted.

Wait for the OCD The OCD has been up for hours zomg I hope no one was still waiting!!)

Oh my gosh. This was just what Ariel needed right now, something to get her mind off curses and ki--- well, probably not kissing, but definitely curses! Although she worked in a store with plenty of other cuter PJs, Ariel was still very attached to her comfortable pink nightgown (http://www.fanpop.com/spots/the-little-mermaid/images/1874081/title/little-mermaid-screencap) and was ready to stuff her face and just relax!

Who'd have thought after sixteen years of a palace full of estrogen she'd actually miss things like this after only a month or so?

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

Rinoa was bouncing on her toes. "That nightgown is adorable," she said. "Look, we match!"

In that they were both wearing pink, albeit very, very different shades. Shut up, that could count as matching if Rinoa wanted it to.

"Think we'll get a lot of takers?"

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Different shades and Rinoa's hardly kept anything to the imagination, but that didn't matter, since it as all girls (and Jono). Ariel did a slight twirl in her gown, because it was seriously a twirling gown, and then shrugged. She was also wearing a smirk, the kind that said that, if they didn't? Oh, well, more snacks for them!

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[angelo_wings]

"It's already a fun party just with two of us," Rinoa grinned. "We can throw popcorn at anybody who pokes their head in."

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Oooh. Clearly, Ariel liked this idea, bobbing her head in appreciation for Rinoa's clever thinking. And....She looked around before snatching up a pillow and brandishing for great 'foreshadowing' goodness.

And pillows, too!

...Or they could just have a pillowfight amongst themselves. That was always a fun idea.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[angelo_wings]

"You even got a weapon!" Rinoa had to applaud that. "For any boy who tries to crash the party. Perfect."

After the pillow-bonking, they were welcome to hang out. Y'know. Boys.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

Pulling herself and preening slightly, Ariel gave a very knowledgeable nod. Of course, she would be prepared!

Not that she really knew anything about boys crashing a party; the mere thought of it was so incredibly exciting she was surprised she was able to surpres her eagerness for it.

No boy in his right mind would try crashing a Triton's daughter slumber party. Because it was Triton's daughters.

"The poster said NO BOYS on it several times," Rinoa said, lowering her voice mischievously. "So someone's bound to get curious sooner or later."

Preferably someone cute.

Which seemed to be the default, on this island.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that definitely didn't narrow it down at all.

Ariel shook her head, in clear dismay that anyone would be so bold as to ignore their sign, or, even worse, get curious about it and, of all things, come looking into it. It would be terrible. A real tragedy!

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[angelo_wings]

"Anyone you're hoping to not see?" Rinoa asked.

What? She'd gone five whole minutes without asking about Ariel's love life. That was a record.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Really, it was. Ariel heaved an extra heavy sigh, to emphasize that who she was thinking of she clearly did not want to see at all, really and truly, before affixing a look at Rinoa that demanded who do you think?

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[angelo_wings]

"Mohawk?" Rinoa grinned. "I can't say I blame you. Hoooot."

//Apparently I've been promoted to temporary female,// Jono said to Ariel, looking somewhat pained as he did so. //So that I'm allowed to spend th'night in my own cabin.//

This was kind of like hello!

Sort of.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Know what else was kind of sort of like a hello?

That evil, malicious glint in Ariel's eyes as she grinned almost leeringly at Jono and tapped her fingers together.

Ooooh, they were going to have so much fun!

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[furnaceface]

//That look is actually somewhat terrifying on you, luv,// Jono shared. Backing away, slowly. Was the 'no sudden moves, don't break eye contact' thing for girls, or bears, or...

He was doomed, wasn't he?

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Completely and utterly doomed, oh yes.

Ariel could only chuckle at that, rolling her eyes and waving a dismissive hand. Such a kidder! Then she clapped her hands together and gave a speculative look toward all the girly primping stuff before waggling her eyebrows at Jono.

Oh, what to embark on first, hmmm?

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[furnaceface]

If Jono had been capable of a groan, now would have been the time for it!

//Oh, not you, too.//

Really, he probably should have seen this coming.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Of course her, too! Didn't Jono know how girls worked? In packs?

Ariel stuck out her lips in a mockery of a petulant pout because here was Mr. Grumpypants, which she clearly suspected was not going to stay around for long after they got their feminine mitts on him. She couldn't hold the look for long, a grin slipping out and she waved a warning finger at him. Just you wait, Jono, just you wait.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[furnaceface]

Jono had fear, now. Jono had so much fear.

//I'd run and hide in my alcove,// he shared, //but then I'd be cornered. And so I'm going to stay right here, and I'm going to trust that you're not going to hold me down and try to paint lipstick on me anywhere.//

Because lipstick would never end well.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel pouted increasingly for the missed opportunity, but, where every door closed, there was an open window and, lifting her brows hopefully, she feathered her fingers at her eyelids to indicate that eye shadow could be a good option for him, no? She knew all the neatest, coolest new styles from all her magazine studying at work, no less!

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[furnaceface]

Well, he did have quite lovely eyes...

//Absolutely not!// And a stubborn streak a mile wide, as well. //No make-up! I'm not here to be dolled up, gel, I just live here!//

... Actually, his protests were growing more feeble with every attempt he made.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Another substantial pout, this time thrown in with wide blue eyes behind slowly batting lashes. Ariel brushed some fingers through her hair. Not even that? Not even just the little bit of hairdressing, even?

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[furnaceface]

The blue eyes were cheating. Really, now. With the looking all... adorable and... innocent and...

Look, he could see through it, but he was also a complete pushover, and he'd thank her not to tell anybody about that fact, please.

//... Maybe a little hairdressing.//

It wasn't makeup. It seemed safe.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Whoa, wait, that actually worked?

Ariel, positively ecstatic, beamed, bouncing a little as she clapped her hands and then reached out to take Jono's so she could drag him over to where all the hair stuff was. He did have some seriously nice hair, and she knew hairdressing, honey, so this was just going to be fabulous!

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Munch!

[furnaceface]

But what if Jono didn't want to be fabulous?

He supposed not wanting to wasn't going to change much, considering he was tripping along after her to the hair supplies, fearing for his life.

//Dare I ask what it is you've got in mind?//
