[Coming at you live from Lucy's store for bath supplies and all the stuff to make you smell really nice, it's Mae and - she's in a very good mood. A...victorious mood?]

So I'm not talking in lists anymore, and needless to say I never want to see another list again. I'm even giving up grocery lists. Shopping will become a whimsical affair from now on. I'm sure nothing wrong could come out of that! [Sarcasm.]

That was a ridiculous curse, and I know I left a few people hanging. Sorry - some answers just can't be put in a sequential way. No hard feelings?

[ooc; Oh, please. Feel free to action the hell out of this if you want to; be it at the store itself, or on the street, at any point where Mae might hang out. /applies lipstick.]

[Even devils like spoiling themselves and occasionally have to restock, which would explain why ne's in the store looking around. Well, that's one of the reasons.]

Excuse me miss, could you help me for a moment?



((ooc: Ne's without nir makeup, so Mae may or may not recognize nem since they've spoke.))

action

[brobeforehos]

[Oh right, she's working. So, off she goes, to help a customer!]

Certainly. What can I do for you?

[ooc; How different would Hatter look without makeup on?]

action

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne holds up two bottles of floral (rose and jasmine) scented bubble bath.]

Which of these do you like better?



((ooc: not much really, uses both icons for comparison))

action

[brobeforehos]

Oh, well - [She taps the jasmine scented bottle with a finger.] I'd have to go with jasmine. Not that there's anything wrong with rose, per se, but it's a bit too Valentine's Day for my tastes. Jasmine helps relax a little more, without choking you with an extra strong scent.

[ooc; Okay, got it.]

action

[indecent_butterfly]

Choking is only good under the right circumstances, so it will be two bottles of the jasmine.

Any other suggestions since it's necessary to restock the entire bathroom. Might as well get it all out of the way today since I'm here.

[--only good under the right circumstances--

Now, Mae is not one to step down from shameless flirting, or shy away from it, but there are subtle ways to hint at darker things. And she's not as worldly as she'd like to be. So that makes her laugh a little, if a bit awkwardly.

She takes two bottles from the shelves.] I'll leave these on the counter for you. Maybe some soaps, shampoos, conditioners, the like?

[justamessenger]

Wow, that one smells great.

[And deserves makeouts for that reason. Have an armful of petite angel lady!]

[signatures]

Or you could give someone else the task of making a list for you and only drop the items of what you need in a casual, non-sequential way.

[studmuffin]

[ Stiles is pretty much just wandering around with an aimless kind of attention. He's not sure why he came to this store in particular, only that he's still jobless and friendless and he might as well take up space everywhere he can find, right?

He ends up by the bubble bath, unscrewing lids and taking a whiff of the nearest one. ] Oh, gross. That smells like an old person's home. [ Yes, he narrates his life, and yes, he's just spotted Mae. ]

Ashton, we've really got to stop meeting like this.

[brobeforehos]

Wh- ummphh! [WELL!

Well!!

Katy Perry is going to have to come up with another song to celebrate this moment; Clearly today is a day where her customer service is so awesome that it deserves kisses? And that's a reason to celebrate, indeed!! Even if she does end up laughing mid-kiss, words mumbled against the lady's lips.] 's that what you do for a bar of soap?

[She pulls back, amused.] I didn't even show you the ones for bubble baths...

[brobeforehos]

No, see, you said list. I drowned the rest out.

[signatures]

How very rude.

[brobeforehos]

Very, very, very sorry. Allow me to make amends.

[signatures]

The cafe at eight has been giving me discounts today.

[ Potentially for his glistening puckers but let's not say outloud just how opportunist Eames is :c

it had been a whim ok

a 'less expensive than expected' whim ]

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Catching the reaction, ne laughs as well. So cute.]

In a fight for instance. [Yeah, sure.]

From the same line? Wouldn't want the scents to cancel each other, but couldn't that be too much as well?

[brobeforehos]

[Of course, Mae spots him when he walks in, although he seems distracted - is he brooding? she can't tell, honestly - so he doesn't wave hello. Therefore, she does what seems totally and completely logical of her to do on a day when everyone keeps kissing her.

She walks over. And just on cue, too.] Hey, Tinkerbell. Here, this one. [She reaches out for a bottle of bubblegum scented bubble bath.] Smells like fairy dust. Just like home, right?

[studmuffin]

[ He snorts, takes the bottle off her and smells it. Nose wrinkling. ] Who told you about Neverland and how did you get in? [ Because two can play at this game, thank you very much. ] If you're flirting with Pan, I am totally out. Nobody likes a guy in tights.

[ Pause. ] Unless he is Captain America.

[brobeforehos]

Must be your irresistible British charm. So...my break's coming up soon.

[Let's hope he brings his lipgloss with, then. It's not like Mae isn't guilty of the same thing right now.

She's getting kissed! And, equally, kissing others! That's a thing that hasn't happened in a year or so, so evidently she should stock up. Gather up some blackmailing moments, too.]

I'm thinking maybe tea?

action;

[brobeforehos]

[Yes, she is adorable. She was also not born yesterday. People she knows don't use Choke as battle strategy, but she'll take the save.]

Of course, in fighting. I'm against violence myself, but sometimes it's necessary, isn't it?

[She leaves the bottles on the counter, as promised, before heading back.] It might be. But then again, do you tend to take bubble baths as often as you clean?

[brobeforehos]

What, not Batman? [She gives him an odd look, because who knows who on earth understands Stiles half the time. But nevermind that he makes her think of Jamie and thus, obviously, brings out the worst in her.]

I danced my way in, darling. [Flips her hair over her shoulder.] Can't help it if it made the Lost Boys find god.

[studmuffin]

Fine, Batman too. But only if he loses the constipated voice because nobody finds that attractive. [ Can't get a boner if you want to offer them a lozenge, okay?

Laughing then, rolling his eyes. ] They grow up so fast.

[brobeforehos]

Oh, I don't know...there are a lot of attractive points to a husky voice. [Which she won't explain because if you don't know them you're too young to hear about them, and Mae needs to stop craddlerobbing, clearly.]

So, bubble baths? Didn't figure you were the type.

[studmuffin]

I have a beauty regime I have to keep up. [ Oh so deadpan. ] We wouldn't want me to lose my silky skin now, would we?

[ Picking up another one and smelling it instead. ] Why do people use this crap?

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Sure you do after you get them down on the ground and have rolled over on top of them...]

Unavoidable sometimes. Even the worst wars are better off being fought than not.

[Ne thinks about that for a moment weighting the pros and cons, or at least pretending to.]

Most likely not. Won't always have the time to enjoy it.

[brobeforehos]

Well, I don't know if guys do, but women have been shown enjoying themselves while taking a bubble bath in so many movies back when showing more than shoulders and above the kneecaps was considered pornographic that some of us relate it to something very, very relaxing.

[If you know what she means. Without break, she smiles.] What do you need?
