Open Log

[celestial_wizard]

Date & Time: Sept. 6 - Early Evening
Location: Wherever Our Minds may take us!
Characters: Lucy Heartfilia, the ladeeez (and an overprotective dragon slayer in hiding) + Open for intruders :3
Summary: Lucy requires a second attempt at a girl's night out to take her mind off of things. Stuff Happens.
Warnings: Uh.... n...o...n...e?


[ Whenever she wasn't training or otherwise occupied, Lucy felt that absence of Loke's key. It hurt every time, to think about, to reach for that key she knows isn't there. In her apartment, shesat on the couch with the keys spread out in front of her, arms folded.

But moping for too long was not Lucy's style, and she hadn't seen her other friends in a while, so ... a girl's night out would be a -great- way to take her mind off things. It couldn't possibly end the way the last one did, right? Thus she sent a few messages out and retreated into her bedroom to grab one of her cuter dresses. YEP, a night out is exactly what the doctor ordered! ]

Pre-Shenanigans

[celestial_wizard]

[ Where Lucy will probably be hanging out at the apartment prior to meeting up with the gals, Or perhaps the gals come to the apartment to get their hair did and chat and such before going out. Guuuuuuuuurl. ]

/throws in tag before nap, hopes it's okay

[therealrisette]

[Rise couldn't wait... as soon as she got the message, she was absolutely one hundred percent focused on the goal of a girls' night with Lucy! So... yeah, she probably shows up way early. Or fairly early. It might have taken her a while to get ready. And guess who went shopping in Paris recently?

When Lucy answers the door, she'll see Rise in a very bright and colorful yellow floral minidress (pretty much that whole outfit minus the jacket), carrying a clear plastic poncho because rain everywhere. Nobody can say the girl doesn't come prepared.]

Lucy-chan~! Hey!

[Hope Lucy likes hugs, because she's getting a particularly excited and squeezy one right now. Rise's just really happy about this idea!]

Re: /throws in tag before nap, hopes it's okay

[celestial_wizard]

[ Thank heavens. That jacket was icky with that dress. When Lucy opened the door, she hadn't expected sudden hugambush, but she doesn't mind it! ]

Heep! Hi Rise-chan! [ She laughs. It was helpful to get out and check in on her friends now and again after all. Moping about didn't help anyone. ]

You're a little early..!

[therealrisette]

[Even models in Paris can make poor life choices...

But yes, Rise gives Lucy one last little squeeze before pulling away. She looks a little embarrassed, for getting so excited over something so simple, but still mostly happy.]

Yeah... hope I'm not too early. I just couldn't wait! I had the perfect dress and everything~!

[She does a quick twirl and cute little pose. Whoops, her modeling career is showing...]

[celestial_wizard]

[ It's true, and that was certainly a poor life choice for that poor model. ]

Not too early, no. I love your dress though! [ For Lucy's part, she was dressed in a short black and white dress herself. though her hair she hadn't really styled into any particular style. Maybe she's just leaving it down. ]

I was thinking we could check out the clubs and hopefully not burn any down and see what else we can see tonight. I just need some major distractions right now. Is there anywhere you've been wanting to see since you got here?

[have_hat_will_travel]

*A few hours beforehand, a certain short-haired blonde comes up to Lucy... Dressed in her usual showy outfit, which is definitely not suited to anything resembling a typical girl's night out.*

Oh, hi. Thought I'd drop by early...

*... Perhaps some part of her realizes she needs to be talked into something better-suited to what's going to go on tonight?*

[celestial_wizard]

[ And as Lucy just assumes that's the kind of thing Pidonus normally wears for a girl's night out, Lucy doesn't correct her. People wear what they wanna wear. ]

Hi Pidonus - I was just speaking with Erza. [ Giggle. ] She's really looking forward to this night out, it seems.

[have_hat_will_travel]

It's going to be nice, yeah.

Just... Being social for the sake of it. Good change of pace, honestly...

*... It is what she always wears, sadly.*

[celestial_wizard]

Things don't have to always be gloomy around here - spending all of our time doing nothing but training, eating and sleeping - who wants that?

During Shenanigans

[celestial_wizard]

[ WHEREVER THE WIND WILL TAKE US. No seriously. They might go to the bar or club or a nice fancy diner, or the movies, or...well there were plenty of options right? Right! ]

[scarletrequip]

[To say Erza is excited about this would be an understatement. She rarely gets the chance to experience these kinds of exclusive outings. It's rare for Erza to not have some kind of plan for her activities, her deprived childhood often made these kinds of social activities awkward because she either didn't know the proper etiquette or her information on the matter often turned out to be outdated. So this once she would be spontaneous and follow Lucy's lead.

Still this was a simple enough outing; girls only, at night, and out of the house. Erza swears to herself to make sure this night goes perfectly.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ And quite frankly Lucy thought it was really adorable, how excited Erza was for a night out like this. As much as she was worrying about the issue with her missing key, she couldn't keep the smile from her face. Erza was always so intimidating even when she wasn't trying, it was neat to see her cuter side like this. ]

There's a club not far from here, so we can take a look and see what it's like if you want. Or if you're hungry we can go to a cafe or one of the restaurants ..we're kind of overdressed for a cafe, I think.

[ The options are given for all of the girls accompanying them, but at the same time mostly phrased towards Erza out of habit. ]

[scarletrequip]

Excellent suggestions.

[It almost felt wrong to pick only one thing when she wanted to do everything. Of course she had no idea what everything would be.]

Perhaps dancing?

[Yes a dangerous option for anyone who has danced with Erza before but it's phrased as a suggestion and not as an order for once.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Well they can do as much as possible! ]

D-dancing?

[ Oh gosh, she remembers how you dance, Erza. Lucy doesn't think she can handle that. But she also doesn't thing she wants to subject anyone else to it. ]

Sure! Come on, the place isn't far.

what's a girls' night out without bathroom conversations!?

[chittybang]

[Asami can't go out into the main area of the pub with her hair looking like this. It's a particularly humid night and umbrellas can only do so much to save nice hair, so she makes a beeline to the restroom to commence an attempt to fix it. Of course, she can't go alone in there, so she beckons Lucy before heading in.

Her outfit is simple: dressy red shorts; a loose, three-quarter length black top with a neckline flirtatious to her chest; and short red heels. She has also managed to accumulate jewelry in the duration of her stay in Exsilium, some of which adorn her wrists and ears and neck.

This hair, on the other hand. She rakes her fingers through it, still maintaining composure but clearly displeased with the way it looks. Time to pull out a ribbon and figure out how to salvage this mess.]

Lucy, can I ask you something?

It's not official without one!

[celestial_wizard]

[ It was almost distressing how frizzy one's hair can get out there, so she'd of course accompanied Asami to touch up her own look. And also because bathrooms are the required gossipping location for these sorts of shindigs. She didn't have much in the way of jewelry, but she did have a pair of earrings and a zodiac necklace that she treasured and fiddled with occasionally. ]

Sure, what is it, Asami?

[chittybang]

[Asami's going to cut to the chase. She asks at the start of the makings of a chignon:] Did anything come of that friend of yours you were talking about?

OH GOD

[celestial_wizard]

[ Just as Lucy is turning the sink on to wash her hands a little, she fumbles a bit, water splashing against her dress. Face suddenly a bright red, she stammers a little before turning to her friend. ]

W.. What? NO! Of course not! ..W..why would you even ask..?

and here we go finally \o/

[drizzling]

[Juvia was a little relucant to go back to any club after what happen the last time, but it was reassured that nothing would come of it this time. Besides. -He- wouldn'be around. Right? Right?

Maybe.

With a glass of something to drink in front of her,Juvia sighed looking down at the table. She was starting to get the blues again]

<3

[celestial_wizard]

[ NOT. ALLOWED. And Tank better not show up too! Or do you mean Natsu? Well in either case, neither were female so they should be safe. ]

Juvia?

[ Lucy sauntered over to her friend, easing lightly into a chair. ]

What's wrong?

[ this is supposed to be an 'appy occasion! ]

Post Shenanigans

[celestial_wizard]

[ And with luck they didn't burn down another bar this time. ._. But after all fun and games have been had, it is time to go home. Or perhaps the evening will end with a sleepover. WHO CAN SAY. ]

[chittybang]

[So guess what Asami talks in her sleep. And she's the first one to fall asleep on Lucy's sofa.

BE NICE

(nice paint job btw)]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Aa-aww, that's -adorable-. Lucy would never dream of playing some terrible prank on her. She'd given Erza her bedroom for the night, and Risette the other, with Juvia occupying the third bedroom. Lucky Lucy was privy to Asami's nightly mutterings, enough that she roused from where she was curled up on the floor behind the couch. Curious, she sat up and peeped over the edge of the couch at her sleeping friend. ]

[chittybang]

I know your secrets.

[Despite being so dead asleep, her voice is clear as a bell.]

[celestial_wizard]

... wha..?

[ Erm. S...should she wake Asami up? This whole thing might get really personal - she reaches over to give her friend a nudge. ]

Asami..?
