Sept 23rd - Supple as the Willow

"Skip the earrings for now then," she nods and leads the way over to footwear. "I'd still say three to four inch heels are the best blend of classy and sexy, specially with that dress."

"Let's stick closer to three. Just for my own balance's sake; it's been a while. Falling down--not very sexy."

"This is true. Mkay.." for this task she does enlist the help of one of the saleswomen. The two of them consult with only occasional input from Will and five different but similar styles of high-heeled shoes are brought out. It takes a few tries to figure out which sizes will be good for Will, which rules out two styles, and the remaining three are then set out for him to try on for appearance and comfort.

Will is relieved he doesn't have to give too much input, due to his 'shoes are shoes' philosophy. He ends up trying all three pairs on, at Zoe's insistence, but sticks with the first, 'cause he really has no opinion on this subject.

"This'll do, you think?"

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 12:47 am

"Better those than the middle pair. It's too bad they don't have the others in a size that's even close to you." With a bit more help, she gets two pairs of stockings for Will, one a deep red and the other a sheer black. "Okay, just a few final accessories, unless you're gonna need a jacket."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 12:48 am

"We'll be inside, I think, so a jacket shouldn't be necessary...." Will considered.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 12:53 am

"Well.. I'll trust you not to spoil the effect with something tatty."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 12:54 am

"Oh, I was thinking of wearing one of my old patched-up corduroy jacket ," Will laughed.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:15 am

"You do that and I will tie you to something and beat you within an inch of your life," she smirks. Purses are not too hard to find, and she gently steers Will towards a smaller style, large enough for credit cards, a little cash, keys, and cosmetics. She also tracks down a few styles of bracelets to compliment the dress.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 4:31 pm

Will's a little hesitant--how often will he need a purse, anyway?--but at Zoe's prodding, gives in and gets a small one, as well as a discreet bracelet.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 6:24 pm

"Allright, you should be set! Unless you're gonna need makeup. I'm guessing you'll make do with your power since it seems to be coming back, but we can set you up there too if ya need."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 6:25 pm

"Nah, I've got some of that. I'm an actor, right? I've done stage makeup tons of times."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 6:30 pm

"Not exactly the same thing, but if you think you've got it, that's good. Just, uh, be subtle with it. A little can go a long way, 'less you're going for the tart look and I don't think you are."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 6:32 pm

"I've done other people's makeup, too; I do have SOME idea what I'm doing," Will smiled back.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 6:37 pm

"Sounds good. You after anything else from this little trip? If you're power's already coming back I guess you don't need a total wardrobe. Pity."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:19 pm

"I already went shopping with Sara, anyway," Will said, sticking his tongue out. "Actually, I think I'll keep 'Willow' around--Sara was right, you never know when you'll need an alias. Got a fake ID and everything..."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:22 pm

"Absolutely. I would if I could. Where'd you get the fake ID? Might need that as a backup myself one of these days. And I wanna pick something up from another store if you don't mind taggin' along."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:25 pm

"I'll tag alone.

I made the ID myself, actually. You think it'd be harder. Then, again, I haven't tried to use it for TOO much, yet..."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:59 pm

"Hmm.. yah, no offense, I think I'll hold out for something a little more professional." Once Will's paid up and had his purchases packaged up, she leads the way back out to the street. It's a relatively short walk back to the store that she and Calvin had visited previously.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:59 pm

"What are you picking up, anyway?" Will asked, conversationally.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:04 pm

"Somethin' fun for me, and to help Calvin feel better about his little issue with stumpy."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:05 pm

"Stumpy? Oh, right, I heard--how is he doing?"

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:08 pm

"Seems to be taking it well. I guess it's not exactly the first time, I mean, after you lose your eyes, what's a hand?" Once inside she pops over to the little costume kits and starts sorting through them for the 'nurse' outfit she spotted last time.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:10 pm

"Still, you know? It's gotta suck. If you see him before I do, tell him I hope he gets better soon."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:11 pm

"Wilco. I'm gonna pop by in the morning and say hi, bring him a taste of freedom, yeah? Aha!" She pulls out a cute little vinyl minidress in white with a cross on the chest, holding it up against her, "Whaddya think?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:12 pm

"....well, that will certainly catch his attention, yes."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:17 pm

"Excellent. We'd better go soon though, I'm already spending more than I can really afford on clothes this week. Might still hafta pick up a part time job or something, blah."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:23 pm

"I suppose. Ick, on top of x-teams and everything..."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 9:28 pm

"Yah. Maybe we'll get lucky and be given the keys to the city or something for our brave duties. That's gotta be worth a few pounds." Zoe pops over to the accessories area and snags a few additional bits and pieces to go with the dress, then carries them over to pay. "You might wanna try practicing in those heels tonight so you're more comfy with 'em tomorrow."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:21 pm

"Right. I'll lock myself up somewhere so I don't embarrass myself when I fall down. But it's just like riding a bike, right? A very girly bike."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:37 pm

"Yah, pretty much. I'm sure you can handle it. When was the last time you wore 'em?" She gets her own stuff packed up and leads the way back out again.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:38 pm

"Couple years ago," Will said, not offering up any more information.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:43 pm

Zoe blunders on as her curiosity gets the better of her, "What was the occasion?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:46 pm

"You know, just a thing..." Will says, staying vague. "Wore them just to kind of...y'know, see if I could. Back in the experimenting phase."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:48 pm

"How'd it turn out?" Zoe pats her pockets down and pulls out a pack of gum, popping a piece in her mouth and offering it to WIll.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:50 pm

Will took the gum. "Well, I didn't fall down. Really not much to it, once you get your balance..."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:52 pm

She nods, "Where'd you wear 'em?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:54 pm

"Oh, school. They didn't know I was a shifter, so I wanted to see if I could pass...y'know, a test of shifting. And acting, I suppose..." Will said, fudging the details only slightly

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed May 13, 2009 10:58 pm

"So, what, you showed up as 'the new girl' one day? Or for a whole semester? How does that work?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed May 13, 2009 11:01 pm

"Just went around campus one day, y'know. Couldn't do it for a whole semester or anything--I would have had to explain 'Will''s absence. Hard to do, right? I'm still a little shocked they never caught me--I was practicing in my room regularly. It was locked, but all it would have taken is one guy coming in..."
