Theodoric's of York, Saturday Afternoon, After Detention

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

After an afternoon of dinosaurs, Sam was very much looking forward to being a little pampered. She also couldn't help wondering if they did temporary tattoos, just for fun.

Might as well enjoy being eighteen while she could.

Isabel turned and held up two bottles of nail polish. "Which one do you like? I can't decide."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam looked up from the menu of services. "Um...that one," she tapped the bottle, then asked, "So...if I get an avocado mask, what's going to keep me from smelling like guacamole for the rest of the weekend? Because I have to tell you, not my best scent."

"Do a peppermint scalp treatment," Isabel suggested. "That should mask the eau de avocado."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Peppermint...really?" Sam looked intrigued. "I'm so out of practice at being a girl. There needs to be a remedial class."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's very invigorating," she said. "And you'll wind up smelling like a candy cane." Isabel chuckled, "Be careful what you wish for around here. That could very well be a class next semester. Taught by some ultimate girly girl that we'd all have to kill."

"Or by Johnina, Gregette, and Petra," Sam snickered, "and is it bad that I don't know which would be worse?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel snickered as well. "I'd say the girly girl. Only because there are ways to keep Johnina, Gregette and Petra in line." She turned to receptionist and spoke a minute, turning back to Sam with a smile. "Sven is available. Are you going to get a massage?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam groaned in blissful anticipation. "I definitely am. Jack's got great hands and likes using them, but there's also a distraction factor. What are you getting done, other than a manicure?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to have a manicure, pedicure and I'll be spending some time with Sven as well," Isabel said happily. "Plus I'll spend some time in the sauna and the hot tub. The only flaw with the plan is that I'm going to be so relaxed I'm going to have ooze back to the school."

"There's no carrying service?" Sam asked, mostly kidding. "I want to be massaged, polished, and relaxed. What's your opinion on aromatherapy? And if I was going to get a little temporary tattoo on my hip, what do you think it should be?"

Parker came in on the end of this, and grinned as she started browsing the nail polish. "An eagle? Or a proton?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm." Sam considered that, "Last time...well, I'd get what I got last time and in the same spot, but that was the other Jack, and I don't want to do the same thing twice. Maybe a little flame? Or a screwdriver?"

"Now there's an idea," she laughed. "Carry me home and tuck me into bed so I can sleep happily. Although Greg's working at Caritas tonight so I'll probably wind up stopping by to visit him for a few minutes before I head back to the dorms."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Does he like working there?" Sam asked, turning a page in the menu and paling at one of the descriptions. "Okay, that's a no..."

Parker came in late, and was tracing the edges of the nail shelves looking for something shiny. "Hey, Isabel. How's it going? Your boyfriend's lucky he has freedom of the Press on his side."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh come on, it was amusing," Isabel said. "You know he doesn't mean anything seriously."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Given the context, yeah. I still want to spike his hair gel with vegetable oil, though." Her lips twitched, and she consider both MAC's Expose and Magenta Riot. "I just got my nails done last week, but maybe I'll get the full mani-pedi and everything else. Sven's here today, right?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No spiking of the hair gel. I'm not sure he'd recover from the trauma. And yes he is," she gleed. "Sam and I have both booked sessions. But I bet he'll fit you in. I figure I'll relax in the sauna and hot tub while Sam's getting her massage and then have a manicure and pedicure after my massage."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yay!" Parker's expression went to wicked delight. "Wonderful. Massage, *and* an herbal wrap. God knows why Zack didn't like his last week."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe he didn't like smelling like flowers?" Isabel asked. "Or maybe he's claustrophobic."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I think it was the smell. Something about Thanksgiving. Try to do something *nice* for someone...." Parker grinned. "So, Shiatsu massage, or Turkish? Or one of the relaxing ones?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You made him smell like roast turkey?" Isabel laughed and shook her head. "Poor Zach. I guess it depends on what you're in the mood for. Do you need to relax? Or do you want to be invigorated?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I didn't pick it out. I think he asked for something 'manly' and that's what they had." She grinned again. "Hmmmm. Relaxing. Definitely relaxing. Maybe with that lavendar oil."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh I love that. But it makes me sleepy," she said. "And I want to stop by Caritas after this."

"Right, tonight's Greggie's night behind the bar." Parker stretched her arms. "I'm too tired after the band practice, gun club, and now this to even *think* of going looking for Jarod. I'll have to give him a call when I get in, though."
