Pick Your Poison | Thursday

[intraspective]

"I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop," Iris sang softly to herself as she poured over her notes for the new scents she was in the process of developing. The colours of the year were an interesting combination of things and she thought that it might be fun to see what she could come up with. Yellow and grey and teal and jumpsuit orange…

Grey could be a lot of things, though her first thoughts dwelled heavily on smoke and metal and the smell of rain and rust (which brought in orange nicely, though it wasn't specifically 'jumpsuit orange').

A muted yellow could be a warm, buttery scent while a brighter yellow could evoke a sharp splash of lemonade, a summery beach (there was the teal), and the grey of gravel…

Iris snorted.

Apparently she missed home and summer, in about that order. Well, it wasn't wrong.

Pick Your Poison is Open!

Mod Your Shopping

Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"

Talk to Iris

I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there

Nell made her way in a little hesitantly, carrying a basket with a selection of her own handmade organic creams and lotions.

"Excuse me, is it possible that I could talk to the owner?"

Iris eyed the interruption curiously, with blue eyes that lacked pupils.

"Speakin'," she said. "Iris, at your service. What's up?"

"Hello, Mz. Iris," Nell said politely. "My name's Nell Ingram and I make my own all handmade lotions and creams. I grow most all the ingredients myself and don't use any of them chemicals and such. I didn't know if maybe you might be interested in lettin' me sell a few here."

She offered the basket to Iris. "I made up a little sample thing for you. So's you can try them if you want and see what you think. I put in some of my teas, too, just for nice."

Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but I sat and stared
