After a stop at the Perk for coffee and a pumpkin muffin, Isabel opened Pixie Dust on time. She spent some time poking through the racks looking at new arrivals, then took her place behind the counter with a good book.

Mod your shopping

Complete with handwavey check-out.

"Haven't actually ever been in here," A.J. admitted as he and the modded and soon to ping Cher made it over to the store. And he, being of course a perfect gentleman, held the door open for her to go in first. Or it might have had to do with the fact that this was clearly her territory and he just felt...safer having her lead the way.

He got points for the door-holding. Cher wasn't aware there was a point system, but maybe she should create one. "Seriously? Oh, you should totally come in here more. It's so much fun," she said, stepping inside. "Sometimes if I'm bored at work, I'll just sit there and go through the accessories for hours."

"You work Wednesday, right?" A.J. asked, following her in, and taking an idle look around. Huh. Yeah. Definitely a little bit of a chick shop. He tried to imagine going through accessories for hours. It...wasn't easy for him to picture it. "Um, there's a lot of stuff here. How do you know where to start?"

Re: Mod your shopping

[notclueful]

"Yep. I get to report on how well everyone did while I was there," she smiled. "So, everyone has a different technique, but I find it's easier to start from top to bottom and then build on there. Shirt, pants or reasonable substitute, shoes, accessories. "

Which just made A.J. glad he worked on Wednesday, too, instead of having that be his shopping day because Cher would probably be sorely disappointed with his shopping prowess. "...Reasonable substitute? Oh! Does that mean I could so get a kilt?"

Re: Mod your shopping

[notclueful]

"Well, that depends. Do you have kilt-appropriate events you can wear it to?" she said thoughtfully.

Re: Mod your shopping

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J. couldn't help chuckling a little, after being only minutely distracted by a shirt that looked just slightly more earthtone than everything else. "What exactly would suffice as a kilt-appropriate event?"

Re: Mod your shopping

[notclueful]

"Well, I think they get worn to like weddings and funerals, and sometimes movie premieres," she said, flipping through a rack. "And you might actually have to be Scottish."

Re: Mod your shopping

[by137.livejournal.com]

"I think I'm, like, complete European mutt," A.J. admitted, "so there's got to be some Scottish in there. What? You don't think I could totally rock a kilt?"

A.J. did not think he could totally actually rock a kilt. Ever.

Re: Mod your shopping

[notclueful]

And Cher was pretty sure he wouldn't try it, which was why she said, "I'm sure you could if you tried hard enough."

[Omg LJ post.]

Re: Mod your shopping

[by137.livejournal.com]

And, satisfied with that answer, A.J. nodded. "Thanks. So...what are we shopping for again?" He, as a male, was pretty certain that you didn't just go shopping for the sake of shopping, and was feeling like the kilt had distracted him from something important.

Talk to Isabel

She's here to help.

Re: Talk to Isabel

A tired looking Jamie Madrox came into the store and gave Isabel a wave. "Hey Izzy. How are you?"

Re: Talk to Isabel

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm doing good," she said, not quite smiling as she took in his appearance. "I got some good news from Roswell so I went back there for a week. Now I'm home. How about you? Here for the latest in fashions?"

Re: Talk to Isabel

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Just kind of wandering around," Jamie said as he took a sip of his Grape Judas. "This looked like a new shop so I thought I'd check it out."

Re: Talk to Isabel

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's been here for a month or two. A real, live, wee fairy owns the place believe it or not," Isabel explained. "What has you wandering? Can't sleep?" Not that Isabel recognized the signs or anything. Nope, never that.

Re: Talk to Isabel

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Something like that," Jamie agreed. "I've decided to try and do without it for a while."

Re: Talk to Isabel

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That only works for so long. Then you start getting jumpy from all the caffeine and sugar and start imagining the stuffed animals are talking to you," she warned. "And they're not the most stunning conversationalists."

Isabel came out from behind the counter and absently started flipping through a rack of mens shirts. "What made you come to that decision?"

Re: Talk to Isabel

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"It just seems wasteful," Jamie yawned. "All that time lying around in bed. There's so much more I could be doing."

It was a weak argument at this point.

Re: Talk to Isabel

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"And aimlessly wandering town checking out the stores is such a more productive use of your time," Isabel nodded. She paused for a moment, wondering if she should push, then decided the worst Jamie could do was walk away. "But at least it helps keep the nightmares away?"

Re: Talk to Isabel

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie paused for a second or two at that. "Yeah. Something like that."

Re: Talk to Isabel

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It sucks doesn't it?" she asked, still focusing on the shirts. "I still have a hard time getting more then three or four hours at a time." And she wasn't going to mention the night light she still had to keep on in the room.

"This would look good on you," Isabel said, indicating a dark blue shirt.

Re: Talk to Isabel

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie looked down at the green shirt with the gold squiggly design. "What's wrong with what I have on?"

Granted... every outfit he owned looked exactly the same.

I'll be AFK for most of the morning but back this afternoon.
