Because you are seriously in need of a makeover if you want to be fabulous for Brianna, and a date with the spa is the best step to take in that direction.

[Looks mean a lot more than people think they do, after all.]

[bostova]

[ That's... reasonable enough. ]

Then... wouldn't it be better if we saved that for after we go shopping?

[ Because, if she has this right, makeovers would require better clothes than what she currently has on her now. (Is she learning, Tala?) ]

[thetalavega]

Ooooh, yeah! That's an excellent idea!

[She quietly approves of the fact that, in spite of everything, this one's still a quick study.

And now they're pulling into the parking lot. That is probably the only reason why Tala has slowed the car down to a reasonable speed.]

Hmm. Since we're here, I suppose you can help me shop for my daddies too.

[bostova]

I am not sure how much I can be if help with that, but I will try.

[ She could barely shop for herself, how can she ship for two other men?! ]

[thetalavega]

Trust me, it just takes practice. It always helps to start with what you definitely DON'T want to see a guy wear, in my experience.

[And up to a reasonable floor~ gotta love the side benefits of being a Hunter. Every place in your territory is obligated to have parking set aside for you.]

[bostova]

You make it sound easy. [ Not that she doesn't trust you or anything!! ]

[thetalavega]

Stick with me long enough, and it'll get REALLY easy for you, really fast.

[She will make a proper girl out of you soon enough, Yulia Bostova. Parking now!]

[bostova]

... Alright.

[ This is an important life skill, too, right? ]

[thetalavega]

[She breezes out of her own car, and waits until Yulia's out before locking it. Then clicking off.

How the hell does a girl move that fast in six-inch heels? That is the question, indeed.]

Since we're pressed for time, I guess we'll have to save a wardrobe revamping date for another time.

[SIGH.]

[bostova]

I do not think that is necessary.

[ She catches up easily enough, but she does wonder how anyone can actually move in those heels. ]

[thetalavega]

Of COURSE it is! Just not now.

[Yeah, she is not taking no for an answer.]

[bostova]

[ Well okay fine (she hopes that time never comes) she will just roll with this. ]

W-well, where exactly are we headed first?

[thetalavega]

Hmm~

[Looking around, looking around --

-- and them boom, she's taking your arm and pretty much leading you over to the first shop.

Personal space, whut. Tala Vega don't do that shit.]

Here we go! Perfect.

[bostova]

[ She's regretting getting in the car with Tala Vega, now. Or at least, partly. What has she gotten herself into??

The shop was big and colorful. And it looked expensive. ]

Should we even be here?

[ In hindsight, that was the dumbest question she asked. ]

[thetalavega]

Don't you mean to say "Where has this been all my life?!"

[This is Forever 21, bitch! :D]

C'mon, let's go for things that are a little closer to your style.

[Because apparently, you have a style and Tala knows what it is.]

[bostova]

What style?

[ Yulia is so confused right now. ]

[thetalavega]

You'll see! Come on, come on~

[Because there is actually a section of the store that doesn't look obnoxiously flowery or along the lines of "Yeah we are trying too hard", in Tala's opinion.]

[bostova]

[ Oh, alright :T She lets Tala drag her off, reminding herself that this is for Brianna, and she has to look presentable, at least. Besides, if she gets too uncomfortable, the word 'No' exists for that reason. ]

[thetalavega]

Here we are!

[A little sing-song, as she's finally planting you in front of... a lot of racks and shelves full of clothes.]

Point out the colors that are a definite no-no, or colors that are totally YES, and I'll do the rest~

[bostova]

[ It helps, at least, that they're arranged by color.

She points, without hesitation, at the warm colors: the bright reds, the yellows and oranges, bright greens: ] No. Definitely no.

[thetalavega]

[Sweeping a critical eye, and then nodding. From the expression on your face, you'd think that you guys were picking out gear for a major operation.]

Yeah, those are WAY too loud. How about shades that you'd actually be okay with wearing?

[bostova]

[ Brianna's party is serious business, okay.

She points at the darker colors-- not really far off from the colors she usually wears. ]

I don't mind those, I guess.

[thetalavega]

Hmm... you'll definitely need lighter accents, though, if you're going for dark stuff as your base. Layers are totally in.

[Oh yeah!]

If you really don't end up liking anything here, there are SO many other shops to choose from. Okay?

[bostova]

I... okay.

[ Fuck. There are more shops. Fuck. ]

But what am I supposed to look for, exactly? For- for Brianna's party.

[thetalavega]

Really, REALLY good clubbing gear! You know, high boots, flattering stuff on your body, sexy things.

[Pointing to a bunch of things as examples. They don't look very practical...]
