lessons in the art of the selfie - closed

[r3f4c70r3d]

Who: Angel (r3f4c70r3d) & Prompto Argentum (punshots)

What: Sightseeing and selfie taking downtown

When: Backdated to early August Where: the bustling streets of the capital

Warning(s): none

[ Angel has spent the majority of her time since arriving in the capital not actually in it at all. Thesa had everything she needed, in terms of food and shelter, she was more familiar with its level of technology, and nice as the thought was, she didn't especially need her own space, the boarding rooms on the station suited her just fine. Besides, it was taxing to going back and forth to check up on things every other day so she would just spend several up there at a time.

Ironically freedom had lead her to never getting out.

She at least has some self awareness though, so in an effort to combat herself, after checking the cryopods that morning she texts the most outgoing person she has met thus far. ]

Good morning! Apologies, this is a bit out of the blue, but are you free today?

[ She scans the racks of clothing for a moment, before she finally settles on a dress  in the back of the shop, reaching out and carefully touching one of its finely woven sleeves.

Everything on Pandora was covered in a fine (or not so fine) layer of dirt, ripped and burned and shredded and stitched back together much like its people. Helios was all bold, sharp lines. Sterile.

This was clean, but there was a human touch to it too. Special care put into each part of the garment.

She, as gentle as possible because she's sure this is worth her weight, pulls it out a little further so that Prompto can see what she's been eyeing ]

Something like this?

[ He steps over to her when she pulls out the dress to take a closer look at what she's chosen. It seems a good fit for her, personality-wise - from what he knows of her, at least. And style-wise, it looks great.

Of course, she could have pulled out a pajama onesie and he would have supported it. But this is better. ]

Winner of Outfit of the Year right here! [ He beams at her. ] Do you wanna try it on?

[r3f4c70r3d]

She looks to the outfit, then back at Prompto, then what seems to be an a scan of the entire store, before saying in an unsure, almost conspiratorial tone

Am I allowed to do that? It's--



I don't have any money to buy it. I doubt the shop owner would be pleased.

[ He shrugs breezily, features still bright and enthusiastic. ]

Don't worry about that! Besides, you can't start building your style deck without trying anything on.

[ Plus, if she really likes it, he'll spot her the coin to pay for it. It's the least he can do, really. ]

[ Prompto no.

She studies the item again for a moment, unsure if this is actually allowed. Some places on Pandora would have your head for wasting a shopkeeps time with idle browsing. But this isn't Pandora, she has to keep reminding herself that. This is new and different, and she should start taking advantage of simple freedoms such as this. A chance to try on clothing wouldn't be a luxury to most, but it is to her.

Carefully, she removes the hanger from the rack ]

Okay. I am going to try it. There is a place in here to do that right? Rooms to change in.

[ His grin widens even further, if possible, when she removes the dress from the rack. Yes! This is the first step on her journey to...well, maybe a few things. Finding clothes she likes is one of them. A little more comfort in her own skin is another, not that he really has room to talk, there. But if he can help her feel confident enough to at least try on an article of clothing, he'll feel like he's done something right. ]

Yeah, of course! Let's see - [ He tips up onto his toes, before pointing near the back of the shop. ]

Back there. If you want, you can come out and show me after you try it on!
