Minji vs the Shopping Trip

apoc|GM
LAST TIME ON WD SAN DIEGO - TEARS WERE SHED, ICE CREAM WAS EATEN, SCHOOL WAS HAD -
May 1st, 2010 - Evening
Your phone buzzes twice before you can even pick it up, a pair of messages from Seo-Yun arriving simultaneously.
>alright he left to go to his boyz thing or w/e>
>coming to pick u up for shooooooooopping>
<Pink|Minji> >LOL boyz thing>
<Pink|Minji> >j/k>
<Pink|Minji>
-----
And then it arrives, the dreaded final text.
>don't forget to wear something cuuuuute *^_^*>

Pink|Minji
>w/e> OMG. She's almost tempted to go with an old hoodie and baggy sweats, but that'd just be an invitation for Seo. Besides, after the week she's had, it might be fun to dress up a bit. She vacillates between a couple outfits, finally settling on a checked yellow shirt with a ruffly black skirt and matching vest. And cats all over her. "Ugh, you little cunt!" she tells Nabi as she rolls the fat ...
... cat off her shoes. Packs her money, pokes on her computer a bit, setting her status updates. Time to relax. Finally.

The email from Oracle is still there in your inbox, like some sort of... thing. In a box. That's bad. Not like Pandora's Box, more like, uhhhh, a bad report card you haven't shown your parents? You don't exactly know what that is like so... uh, yeah. It's there like some sort of bad thing in a box, for lack of better description.

Pink|Minji
... spy on her shopping... on her and Seo, and... Not helping. Deep breath, Min-Ji. She picks up Alle, hugging the skinnier cat as she sticks her head out the window, glancing over the fence towards the street.

apoc|GM
There's another long minute that passes before the familiar white Lexus glides down the suburban street and your phone buzzes. You don't even have to look down to know what it says but... yep.
>huuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr>

Pink|Minji
Hurp durp, right. She is, for a second, tempted to fly there and blow her friend's mind. But then she checks herself, before any sort of wrecking herself happens, and tosses the cat unceremoniously to the bed and scurries downstairs, only cheating a tiny bit with her power- her parents aren't home so fuck, why not. And it saves navigating the stairs in heels anyway. She tumbles out the front ...
... door, tugging her purse over her head, and head out to the car, texting blind with one hand as she goes. >okeeeeeeeeeeeu> Okay, not the best blind typing.

apoc|GM
"Oh my god, who are you and where is Minji?" Seo-yun greets you with a horrified expression on her face. "A-A skirt? And /heels/?" Her jaw moves wordlessly for a moment before she regains the ability to speak. "You don't have like, homework hidden under there or something?" She asks suspiciously.

Pink|Minji
"Hah, asshole," she says, as she slithers inside, tugging down her skirt a bit self consciously, now that she had to go and comment on it. God, is it too short? Is it too long? Ugh, she shoulda gone with the tight jeans, or... "Dude, just shut up, this was your idea." She rolls her eyes, slamming the door.

apoc|GM
"Oh my god," she repeats, staring at you. She places a hand on her chest and her voice grows heavy with emotion. "I... I think I might cry." She dabs at a fake tear and then seizes you by the cheeks. "SO PROUD OF YOUUUUUUUU~" She whines as she shakes you vigorously.

Pink|Minji
... smeared under some garbage truck right now. She shivers a bit, for real, tries to play it off. "Jeeze, stop that!"

apoc|GM
"I KNOW AREN'T I THE BEST!" She squeals, releasing you. "I'm so good at this, omg, those look so good on you, we're sooo getting you mooooooore~." She sing-songs as takes off for the mall.
You finally get a good look at her now. She's wearing a tight blue top and a shorter skirt than yours, even before you pulled it down. She's also barefoot but... yep. Her heels are in the backseat.

Pink|Minji
Well that's a relief, at least. Last thing she needs is a wreck. At least, a wreck BEFORE they hit the fitting rooms. "Ugh, you look great," she whines, smacking Seo in the shoulder as she petulantly buckles in. "...skank." Slouching a bit, she runs down the window a bit to get some wind in her hair. "...And these are, uh, f-fine!" Jeeze. Where would she even wear... and she spent way too much ...
... on them. "That's, like, the LAST thing I need...!"

apoc|GM
"I know, I'm gorgeous." She throws her hair dramatically and grins. "And it's not about what you neeeed, Minji it's about-... Wait, no." She pauses. "It is about what you need actually, and yes you dooooo need more cute clothes, plus more stuff for next weeeeeekend." She waves a hand dismissively to stall your protest. "Besides, like don't even worry about
it, I'll just buy it all and tell my mom its for our "shared closet" or whatever I tell her when she asks."

Pink|Minji
"You're so crazy!" Min-ji says, but she's smiling. Seo's an incredible pain in the ass... how the hell did she get such an awesome friend? "...Just no pink, okay? Or I'll die, then come back and haunt you till your hair turns gray." She totally will.

apoc|GM
"No pink? Whaaaa-oh wait, actually." She cocks her head in thought. "Okay pink would like ~amazing~ on you, but... BUT.. we could also do like, rainbow! With only some pink in it. Cause pink is totally your color no matter how much you deny it." She rolls her eyes in consternation.

Pink|Minji
And freeze time. Oh god oh god. Okay, she can't ACTUALLY breathe in this... state? But she can pretend. Calm down. Seo has NO way of knowing about her rainbow stuff, her attempt at a cape disguise. And... unfreeze. "Ehehe, no rainbow!" Even if that leads back to pink. She glances at herself in the mirror, toying with the end of a blonde streak. Okay, maybe THOSE could be colored. Maybe not. "You ...
... wanna tie dye something I got two cats at home who're real assholes..." she suggests.

apoc|GM
"Ugh, no." Seo-yun grimaces. "Tie dye? I'd rather /actually/ die. I mean like, get rainbow spandex or something or... do they do rainbow heels? Those would be the beeee... no, wait again, you'd just look trashy. No on the rainbow heels."She makes a disgusted expression and spots you playing with your hair. Her eyes light up.
"Buuuuuuuut we totally need to do something with your hair again. Blonde is cute but if we do pink streaks instead it'd be waaaay hotter, especially with the rainbow or whatever. Or you could do blue like me and we could go for the matching thing. But just for next weekend."

Pink|Minji
"Yeah right, I don't wanna be the ugly knockoff!" she laughs, as she idly snaps a picture of Seo for posting later. "Unless you're gonna buy me a boob job too and tell your mom it's for the shared clooooset!" She waggles her fingers as she attempts to imitate Seo's voice. Badly.

apoc|GM
She poses and smiles widely for the picture, then swerves around another car deftly and pulls into the parking lot of the mall. "Wow, if you really want one you just need to aaaaaask." She teases as she finds a spot. "Don't have to just keep hinting at it." She kills the engine and grins at you before wiggling her shoulders. "Or you could just be born
perfect, like me." She boasts playfully.
"Wow don't you know anything about guys?" She asks, putting on a fresh layer of lipstick. "It's like a... a duo thing. There's not just one wingman, err, winggirl. It's like an equal balance thing y'know." She rolls her eyes. "We're each other's winggirls, duh." She grabs her purse and gets out.

Pink|Minji
Min-ji flips her hair back, snorting. Yeah, like how her 'winggirl' left her alone at that fucking rave and... She looks away. "Yeah whateverrrr..." Ugh, she really does wanna know what Seo DID get up to that night... no, scratch that, she is half DYING to know... but that's like... bringing it up would mean talking about how HER night went after that. "S-so where to first?"

apoc|GM
"Dunno." She replies cheerfully. "Probably one of those like, rave stores I guess? I forget what they're called, but they're all neon and spandex and stuff. Or we could go to some actual place like Macy's and just get stuff for tonight first."
You look up and notice, ugh, she's taken you to Fashion Valley. Which is in /her/ price range of course, but not in /yours/. Which is why she always insists on paying for you here. At least its the nicest mall in the city.

Pink|Minji
"Ohhh, Seo, come oooon! I'm afraid to even look at half that-" She sighs and swoops around the hood to catch up with her friend. "Look, like, one outfit, okay? And, and that's totally pushing it." Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Keep Seo-yun away from all hair dye products.

apoc|GM
She waves your protests aside again. "Bitch please. We have..." She checks her phone. "...five hours before we have to leave to get to that slutfest of a party. We are going to try and buy /every/ outfit." She loops her arm easily though yours and tugs you along with her.

Pink|Minji
"Wait, you never said anything about slu-whoa, hey!" She's glad she's been practicing in these stupid shoes but her power still helps keep her balance, just like a dance routine. Only stupid. "What, you're gonna make me put on a fashion show for all Man-seok's waegukin?" Wait. Maybe she shouldn't give her ideas. "Maybe we should get something I can ACTUALLY dance in...!" Or be a cape i... no, ...
... no, shut up brain. Go... think of kittens and algebra!

apoc|GM
"Psh, what, yes I totally did tell you, remember." She slows her pace fractionally to let you keep your balance. "Man-seok's on football, so it's a football and cheer party, remember, which means guaranteed slutfest. Which means we have to be skanky enough to be noticeable, but not as low as those whoreleaders." She mutters something under her breath.
She still manages to catch your sentence though, and perks up immediately. "Yes, yes that's the whole point!" She crows, snuggling you into a hug. "I'm so glad you agree with me on everything." She smiles brightly as leads you two towards the center of the mall.

Pink|Minji
Min has the sneaking suspicion that Seo-yun might have a different idea of what thsoe words mean. Sometimes she's convinced that despite sharing a vocabulary their languages are really very different. "Besides, you've already GOT Sang-hyeok, who gives a fuck what those skanks think?" Not that Seo couldn't do better than that. Though Sang wasn't, if she's honest, as bad as she'd expected. For a ...
... Boyzo. Ooh, she's gonna have to remember that one. She leans into the hug, laughing, and reaches up to faux-maliciously attack Seo's hair. "Bitch."

apoc|GM
She rolls her eyes, as if explaining this to you for the tenth time, which may be the case, to be honest. "I /don't/ care what the hooker squad thinks of me, otherwise I'd be /trying/ to out-skank them, which might be impossible. But if we go to some trashy cheer party and don't at least be hot enough to get noticed, then no one's going to remember we were
there, which sort of defeats the whooooooole purpose." She flinches back from your attempts to tug at her hair and scowls before tugging yours too. "Biiiiiiiiitch." She shoots back, grinning.

Pink|Minji
"What IS the purpose, I don't eeeeeeeven~!" She flails a bit, sticking her phone in Seo's face. "Yo, Bitch, smile!" she says. Right after taking the extreeeeme closeup right up her friend's nose.

apoc|GM
"That iiiiiiiis the purpo- ah!" She ducks away unsuccessfully in an attempt to get out of the way of the shot and glares at you. "Stahhhhhhhp, bitch." She whines as you finally reach the center of the mall.

Pink|Minji
Min-ji cackles... and then straightens, realizing that there are people around. Okay, act casual. "Bitch," she lamely shoots back. "Don't make a, a scene!" She can't quite hide all her laughter as she lets Seo go, smooths down her vest. "You're such a drama whore."

apoc|GM
She shoots you a dirty look. "Puh-leeze, I hate drama." She flicks her hair over he shoulder. "Bitch."
"Anyway", she changes the subject, "do you want to go to Nordstrom's first, or one of the rave places?"

Pink|Minji
Hrm. "Whatever," she says. "Not like you'll let me skip one, will you?" She flicks her own hair back in a subconscious mirror as she rocks on her heels. "Nordstrom's I guess." Maybe this way she can get it out of Seo's system before they hit any sort of neon.

apoc|GM
"Perfect!" Seo-yun practically cheers. "That means we get to do heels first, which is like, a vital part of the order. Like breakfast for shopping. And after that we can hit the skirts, don't bother with the tops here they're boring." She chatter as she tugs you off in the direction of the department store.

Pink|Minji
"Ye-wait what? Oh, come on was that like a trick question or something?" She shoulda gone with, like, plan c and talked her into going to the food court or something. Oh, or the bookstore. She tries to keep up- or, rather, to keep up without using her power- and huffs. How does she DO that?
