"To those who would know about prom...  I have gained a formal dress but, I am unfamiliar with the rituals of painting one's face and adorning one's self with the spoils of war.  What if there is no war to gain spoils from?  Where will one gain adornment then?  How vexing...  I wish this to go off perfectly, or the quest reward may be unwanted."

[Liz is tending her garden, and singing something in an odd language that if you use magic, understand magic, or are magic, but don't speak Lost Carcosan is one of the most frightening songs you've heard.  If you do understand it, its about clouds, butterflies and birdies.  She's planting butterfly bushes and lilacs]

[action] Elizabeth is downtown

[She's window shopping, pondering a bit, looking more at odds and ends than anything nice while humming the Auria for Everyone's soul, later she'll stop at the music store and play it on the piano while thinking]

[SIGH]

This isn't for a war.

"Where else is one to acquire sparkly things to accent one's clothes?"

[doudemoe]

A few stores here sell make-up, and some salesladies will sell it to you at your door.

"So... Using the slain remnants of shadows is not the normal way... I see..."

I was informed that this 'prom' is a formal ball event. I was not aware that it was a war-like event as well.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Where else does one get accessories if not from the spoils of war?"

[gottimedout.livejournal.com]

I would imagine there would be shops for such things if not already recovered accessories to handle such a problem. Assuming you have a brainwashed man as a husband, you could extort him for money for whatever jewelry you want.

[doudemoe]

Unfortunately not.

Do you have a job yet?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"No, he is not brainwashed... Which is why I have moved to a different room, as to not complicate matters. Still... It is vexing the controls on material possessions this place gives."

[gottimedout.livejournal.com]

It is not so much of a requirement to possess one for this event, I'd assume. Not unless it is personal preference.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"No... I do not... I am told it is my duty to take care of this house... Yet it seems there is no compensation."

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I know not. I have never been to such a ball, only read about them in books."

[gottimedout.livejournal.com]

If it is a ball, it is just an extravagant form of social gathering with dancing and making good impressions. None that personally interests me but I have been asked to at least make an appearance by a few people.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I am escorting he who I left the velvet room to protect there... I do not wish to disappoint, nor seem too outlandish."

[gottimedout.livejournal.com]

In that case, just follow the example of other women attending or use the droned women or girls as a last resort method to have an acceptable attire and appearance.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Then... I simply must find assistance in the face painting... That makes things far simpler."

[doudemoe]

Hnnn. There's some jobs available for women. You either apply for one, or the town provides you with a job.

[Not that women here have a good variety of jobs here, compared to the men. But...]

[gottimedout.livejournal.com]

Good luck and godspeed.

"I will have to ask if they would allow me to resume my duties at the hotel then... Or some place with an elevator."

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

...What the hell are you singing?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[She peers over at Lancer and smiles, stopping her song]

"It's a ballad to the eternal beauty of spring... Isn't it pretty?"

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Frankly, it's a little unsettling.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[she sighs]

"You know, it was such a beautiful language before they wrote all that dark magic in it... Would you like to learn it? Maybe.... If more people knew the pretty parts..."

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

Maybe some other time.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"....That's a shame. A lack of courage that I may expect from a weak persona like the Babylonian I heard was in town...."
