[Penny needs help. She wants a date and she can't for the life of her seem to find one, so she does the only sensible thing.
She phones a friend.
And this is where the network device clicks on. The scene: Lucy's place. The players: Penny, dressed in her usual less-than-flattering cardigan, and Lucy, looking just as amazing as always. They look like they're on the verge of a musical montage.]
Is it seriously as easy as wearing different clothes?
[ Clearly a make-over was the obvious solution. Lucy had invited Penny over, made piña coladas in the blender, and put on some pop dance music. Lucy takes a sip of her piña colada and shrugs in response to Penny's question. ]
Different clothes, different shoes and some make-up. Yeah. It's really that easy. Even smart boys are powerless in the face of a short skirt and a pair of heels.
[ Yes, that was a reference to her own genius boyfriend. Sorry. It's true. Lucy grabs a handful of dresses and shoves them at Penny. ]
Go try one on then come out and let me see.
[ Cue the appropriate music for a montage! ]
No wonder I can't get a date. I always thought guys looked for, like... a nice smile, or a good personality.
[She takes the dresses and, yes, there's actually a montage. It's the City. Things like this happen sometimes. Penny comes out in a couple of dresses that are so-so before finding the winner. She tugs on the hem uncomfortably.]
I don't look skanky, do I?
[ There is appropriate gasping at the final choice. ]
Penny, you are a hottie. There is no skank here.
[ Lucy retrieves a pair of black high, high heels to go with the dress and steers her toward the vanity to put makeup on her. ]
They're going to drool on your feet. Boys that is. Maybe a couple of girls.
[Penny is no stranger to high heels, but there are high.]
There's no way that'll happen. I'm not a people-drooling-at-my-feet kind of person.
[It doesn't take Lucy long to do Penny's hair and makeup thanks to the power of makeover music. It's amazing what mascara and a curling iron will do. Penny takes a moment to study Lucy's work in the mirror.]
That's... different. I can hardly tell it's me. [But she smiles, kind of liking what she sees.] There's got to be a part two to this finding a date thing. Do we go out? Where do we go? What do I do?
[ Lucy is obviously pleased with her work. ]
We go out. We have drinks. We kiss each other for free drinks. We dance. You underestimate your hotness. There could be drooling.
That really works? The kissing thing?
[ That makes Lucy laugh. ]
Like a charm. [ She holds her hand out to Penny ] Come on. We'll kiss. We'll drink. I'll show you.
[The feed (intentional or not, who knows!) ends. Penny and Lucy can be found at any semi-reputable bar your character might care to find them at. Yes, there will be drinking and dancing and kissing. After all, Lucy is showing Penny how to woo.]
[ooc: Penny, Lucy. Bump into one or both of them wherever, comment, whatever! (And yes, there is a curse going on.)]

Still OTA, if anyone cares to threadjack
[Regardless, she smiles and leans over to kiss Lucy.]

Sure enough, some guy slaps some money on the bar. ]
Two of whatever these lovely ladies are drinking.
[ Lucy smiles, tells him thank you and orders a mint julep, looking to Penny to make sure she doesn't want something. ]
Still OTA, if anyone cares to threadjack
She thanks their benefactor as well and hesitantly motions over to a bright blue drink that another woman is sipping.] Could I try one of those, please?
[It's not like she needs to drink all of it.]
no subject
The bartender nods, calls the drink a Blue Orgasm and starts making it up. Lucy is biting the tip of her tongue and absolutely not making fun of the name of the drink that Penny ordered.
Nope. Not all of it. ]
There should be dancing after the consumption of drinks. It'll pave the way to more drinks, more attention and more boys.
no subject
I think I could handle some dancing. You might have to scrape me up off the floor if I have too much more to drink, though.
no subject
[ As it should be. ]
Mmmm that's what we'll find a boy for.
[ Lucy winks at her. ]
