There's sand in my popcorn.

[ A slight shrug, and she dumps the handful before setting the bucket aside. She seems to have not noticed the fact that she's wearing makeup, a short red dress, or fishnets. Instead, she's acting like it's a totally normal day. And it is. It's just... sexier than usual. ]

I guess I shouldn't be eating popcorn before lunch anyway. I'll pick some more up later; hopefully it'll be sand-free.

((ooc: Feel free to reply to her post or to bump into her out and about; she'll be buying herself some popcorn and doing a few other things before heading home. Also this is why I shouldn't write posts at 2 am.))

[What.

What.

What is she doing.

Honestly, Jack isn't sure if he actually recognizes her or if he's just seeing things. But once he's close enough...]

Ariadne, is that... Is that really you?

[ Have a smile -- which looks different, considering the lipstick. Luckily the sleeves on this dress are covering the injury from ripping the needle out after poking around in his head. That smile turns a bit confused at his question, though. ]

Of course it's me. What do you mean?

[Even if they weren't, he's hardly looking at her sleeves right now. Hardly.]

Uh. [Oh god.] You look...different.

The up and rising professional of a frequently misunderstood service industry should manage her diet.

[boutant]

Architecture's not a service industry.

[ He should be so incredibly thankful she's too busy realizing how sexy she is to understand that she was just called a prostitute. ]

I imagine the relevance lies with the nature of the bodies placed in aesthetic position.

Sandy?

Careful where you sit.

Very sandy.

I've been brushing things off before I sit down.

[George was in the shower when Ariadne decided to get dolled up. He comes up behind her when she's done posting, toweling his hair off.]

Excellent, popcorn for breakfast.

[He takes a moment to pause and take in the sight before him.]

You look... different.

[boutant]

There's sand in it. No popcorn for breakfast.

[ She's a bit put out by this, but, well. She has her boyfriend and he's wet, so she'll make do. ]

I woke up and realized that I'm ridiculously good looking, so I thought I'd show it off. What do you think?

[signatures]

Were you really planning on devouring that entire handful in one go?

[boutant]

I was hungry.

But no, I was going to pick pieces out -- I grabbed too much.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ What is going on today? ] Yeah, s'better with butter, not sand.

[boutant]

It's supposed to have a lot of butter, too.

[ :C poor popcorn. ]

Oh well.

[iwasherefirst]

S'an awfully good day for popcorn and spectatin'.

[boutant]

Isn't it? Everyone looks really good today.

[ He's already out hitting Bludgers while George is busy getting his freak on, but he has to stop and wipe away sweat with a towel to respond to this. Ewww, sister-thing girl cooties. ]

Rather think the sand's not your only problem at the mo'. Where'd the rest of your clothes go?

[ video ]

[boutant]

I'm wearing clothes.

[ What on earth are you talking about, Fred? What do you mean her not wearing three layers is wrong? Everyone needs to know how ridiculously good looking she is. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[Staring at his device like it's cursed...instead of the people being cursed. Yep.]

[Percy's leaning against a wall outside City Solutions, and someone's suit trousers are running just a little - or, well, a lot - tighter than usual. In fact, someone's entire outfit is running a little tighter than usual.

And he's smoking. Which he has never done before and will never do again.]

How do you keep your balance in those shoes, Miss Ariadne?

[boutant]

[ Hellooooo Percy. There's nothing wrong with admitting that her boyfriend has some very attractive siblings, right? Right? Sure there's not. ]

Just call me Ariadne. 'Miss' sounds weird. [ As for his question, she shrugs slightly. Anything for a little extra height... ] It's a matter of balance. I don't wear shoes like this a lot, but I wear boots all the time, and some of those have a bit of a heel.

Do you have another one of those? [ Meaning the cigarette. ]

[invisibilities]

[ you know that expression simon gets whenever nathan talks? yes. that's his expression. also not...looking directly at her... ]

There's sand everywhere.

[boutant]

Well, it's in my popcorn, now.

[ Headtilt. ]

Are you feeling okay?
