Killer Scents and Suffocating Fragrances

[Emo]

Stepping into the mall she breathed in all the scents and ended up coughing. Not exactly what she had been hoping for. Sighing she stepped over to the left. ”Follow me Amber.” With quick steps she made her way to the salon. When Leslie saw her she got a quick hug. ”Leslie, this is Amber. Think you can do something wonderful for her hair? We were hoping for a V line layering, pink tips, and random blonde highlights. Think you could do that for us?” Seb smiled as she leaned on Leslie. ”Oh please. That’s amateur, but I’ll make it look so professional it’ll look like she just walked out of New York City, uptown!” Moving away from Leslie Seb led Amber to a washing station and allowed Leslie to work her magic.

As Leslie thoroughly rinsed through Ambers black hair she hummed to the song on the overhead radio. The warm water ran over her skilled fingers as she shampooed and conditioned her hair. Pulling it out of the sink she quickly rung it out and pulled it into a towel. Wrapping it up on her head she led her to an empty chair. ”Kaylie! I need you to bring the pink and blonde dyes from the back room!” A smaller woman with blonde curls ran past them, dodging for an open door. As she came back she held in her arms one box of pink and one box of blonde.

Removing the towel Leslie fluffed up Ambers hair before brushing it out. Pulling the scissors from the holder she began to trim of light amounts of her hair. Layering nicely she trimmed and V’ed without taking off too much. Once that had been done she quickly toweled her hair once more before pulling open the blonde highlights box. Pulling the gloves on she pulled out the dye and the brush. Skillfully she applied the dye, going slow so as not to screw it up. Not that Leslie would anyway.

She had to wait for the blonde highlights to finish before she could start on the pink. ”So? What do you think of the layers so far Amber?”

She worked fast, Leslie did. Most of the time, she was daydreaming about Amona. I like them She smiled. The only thing she hated was the smell and the tinfoil they had to have in her hair to keep in the highlights. She also hated having her hair under those hair dryers. And, the smocks. But other than that, she enjoyed having some fun.

She sighed and turned to look at Seb. I can't help dreaming about Amona.. I keep thinking about him.. What he's like.. And, stuff.. She looked over at her bags. She had a new outfit. Two dresses, actually to wear. She enjoyed new clothes. Not always having to wear the same thing over and over. Her gaze then flickered to the other people here. Some people had their hair up in outrageous poses. She tried not to laugh. They looked funny. She saw her reflection in one of the mirrors and laughed. My hair looks funny in the tin foil

[Emo]

Seb smiled. Obviously she’d day dream about Amona. Who wouldn’t? But maybe she was getting in over her head. What this did fall through? Seb would take the blame and Amber would be back where she had started. Seb removed the negative thoughts from her mind, she had to stay positive, for Amber’s sake. ”No worries. Hopefully you’ll see him soon.” She also scanned the salon along with Amber. They did look hilarious, all those weird and out of date poses. Of course, at the moment, Amber didn’t look any better. ”You’re hair wasn’t meant to try and make tin foil look good.” Seb swiveled around in her chair.

Leslie checked the clock before swiftly taking the tin foil out and pulling off the gloves. Fluffing Ambers hair again she lightly sprayed it down, making sure not to make it overly wet, and pulled open the box of pink dye. Apply it to Amber’s tips she sat back and waited again, for about another fifteen minutes. ’This is going faster than I thought it would.’

Seb smiled again, looking over to Amber. ”Thinking of Amona must have you pretty excited, huh?” Seb wished she could say the same for Colt. She still didn’t know if he would go with her to the lounge on the double date. Not that she doubted if he’d say yes or not, but there was still the possibility.

[Aquired]

Yeah. I want to see him. Haha. I hope my hair wasn't made to make tin foil look good. You don't know how much I just want to meet him. She was off, daydreaming again. Staring off into space, at one of the ladie's beehive 80's looking hairdo. She looked quite hilarious.

Leslie is fast... I wonder where we're going after this.

OOC: Short, I know. But i've got to go now. I'll be on tomorrow morning. byee

[Emo]

Sighing again she leaned back into the salon chair. Seb watched Leslie look at her watch, and then the clock on the wall. Five more minutes. ”So, if you’re wearing the black dress and the high heels what are we to do with your make-up for the night?” Her words were casual, completely ignoring Leslie for the moment.

Leslie gently touched the tin foil, checking one to see if it was done or not. Seeing that it had finished she took all the tin foil out and led Amber back to the wash station. Smoothly rinsing out the mixtures she grabbed the conditioner from the box to protect the highlights and washed gently. Wrapping her back up in the towel she led her to the hair dryers and set her underneath one of them, leaving shortly after getting it started.

”These highlights are going to look so nice Amber!” Sitting beside Amber Seb flipped through a magazine but paid more attention to Amber. ”Anything you want to do after this? We could walk the mall, show off your new highlights.” Seb smiled at this idea.

OOC//: Sorry it took so long Aqui D:

[Aquired]

OOC: 'tis okay.

The highlights were done, so Leslie took Amber to rinse out her hair. My.. Makeup? Uhh.. She didn't know what to do with her makeup. She always had eyeliner on. That was all. Time to time she'd wear eyeshadow.

All I own is eyeliner.. I own no lip gloss or lipstick. And for eyeshadow, I only have dark colors.. She wondered how she'd look with everything put together.

Well.. We could go to the mall and do my nails, She looked down, her nails were plain and uneven. She hated them. She was bored, too. She wanted to do anything that would keep her from thinking about.. Jake. We could go see the horses at the riding stable.. or something after the mall?

[Emo]

”You don’t need to own anything else. You’re wearing dark colors, we’ll use dark colors for the touch ups. Plus, lip stick and lip gloss are so overrated. They just get smeared anyway.” Seb flipped her magazine page. ”Nails would be a nice touch. I need mine done as well. But I don’t get reservations at any nail salons so I guess we can walk around after I call them.” She flipped another page. ”Visiting the stable is a really good idea! I haven’t seen Twilight all day today except for feeding.” Seb felt kind of bad about not visiting Twilight more. Since she had moved and gotten new friends they’ve been her center of attention with Twilight off to the side. Along with having to exercise the other horses and working Prim.

”So nails, and then stables.” She set her magazine down and turned the dryer off. Lifting it up she allowed Amber to stand up before walking towards Leslie. Handing that flashy gold credit card to Leslie she waited as the hairdresser ran up the bill and paid for it. Taking her credit card back she led Amber back out into the rush of the mall. Calling up the nail salon she waited patiently for an appointment time. Seb frowned but said nothing about it before hanging it up. ”We have about an hour to throw away before the appointment. Anything you want to do in the mean time?”

[Aquired]

Uh, we could go for a walk and get to know eachother more? I'm thinking of getting my nails done clear, with white tips, and a black skull or something on each one. I've never really been around horses before.. I signed up for lessions with Nell, but I haven't gotten the call for when my first lesson is yet.

She followed Seb to go pay for the appointment, and left the store, walking as she was talking.

OOC: reply here once more and then we can make another post where they decide to go

[Emo]

Seb listened to Ambers words. Haven’t been around a horse? Wow, who hasn’t done that? Horses were … well horses. They like magnetize you towards them. It’s weird. Seb hadn’t really thought of it till now either. ”Well, after the appointment would be a good time to get acquainted with a few.” Stepping around people she looked at all the signs. She felt like a shopping spree. And why not? They should treat themselves like they already have been doing.

Looking at all the signs she smiled before running into Hot Topic. She didn’t normally shop here but figured it’d be nice to give Amber the opportunity. ”Amber, go find something! I’ll browse with you.”

OOC//: Don't have to make a new thread, they're already in the mall XD

[Aquired]

OOC: oh yeah XD but the name..

As they were walking, Seb ran into hot topic. Amber followed. She went along over to where the makeup was. She picked up a pack of black, red, and white bracelets, but then remembered she already had some that she bought at Target. She then looked at the nail polish, and picked up black. She needed new black nailpolish. Her old black was drying out. She kept it in her hand, and picked up some eyeliner. It was white. She figured she could wear it with the black dress, if not that, another time, then.

She moved over to the clothes. I wish they had a changing room here.. They have room.. Seriously, every other store had a changing room. This one had one door that was an exit for the workers. She picked up black and red pants that had chains on them. They were her size; 7. She then looked at one of the Plaid T-shirts. It was red and black. She picked one up that was her size, and looked over at Seb. Find anything you like? If you like high heels, they have some good ones over here.. She walked the few feet across to the high heeled boots and other shoes they had, picking up a pair of high heels that looked half high heels and half sneakers, and another pair of converse shoes, trying to decide which ones to get, and waited for Seb to say something.

OOC: Hot topic is like, one of the only stores I can describe on what she buys xD And debbs. Pictures on what she bought are coming soon.

pants | Shirt[imagine the green as red] |
half sneakers half high heels |
Converse

Seb followed Amber easily, weaving in and out of the sections and aisles. She would look at an item every now and then but so far hadn’t seen anything she was hooked on just yet. When Amber picked up the black nail polish she smiled, typical Amber. Seb diverted her attention to the clothing racks as they neared them. She was hoping to find a few new shirts. She wasn’t so hot on the pants though. ”So far, nothing. But I’m hoping to find something before we leave. I already have a pair of high heels, and I’m going to wear them with the dress I had picked up. Get the Chucks, the high heels are bit much for every day use.”

Walking away from Amber for a few moments she browsed the aisles of clothing. She felt like she should have a night of black. Just one night where she could be different, anybody besides her. With a spree of inspiration she pulled off a black t-shirt with fishnet sleeves, making sure it was her size. It was plain, but she didn’t want a t-shirt. Pulling off another set she saw that it was a tank-top, perfect. Moving to the pants area she browsed thoroughly. Pulling a pair of capris off the rack she examined the lace up siding. Black, with red strings and white stitching. It’d work. Discreetly she moved over to the intimate section but nothing caught her eye long enough to be pulled off the rack.

Moving back to the shirt aisle she browsed through the shelves for a layering shirt. Seeing a few she liked she weighed her favorites, deciding on a shirt with big, bold, white letters saying ‘OMG WTF’. It was classic. But it was a hard decision. If she usually dressed like this she’d buy both the ‘OMG WTF’ shirt and the ‘I Love _{hope something eats} You’ shirt. But, alas, she didn't usually dress like this so she was only tempted to buy one.

[Aquired]

She followed Seb back over to the shirts. I dont know.. I have a lot of converse shoes but no highheels. Therefore nothing to go with the dress.

She looked to her left, and there was another section of shoes. How many did they have here? No other shoes caught her eye. She looked back at the shirts. There were a few she liked, but didn't think she'd wear them much. She looked at the watch she was wearing. 30 minutes until her appointment.

[Emo]

Seb looked over to Amber as she spoke. That was very true. ”We’ll hit DEB’s, they have some pretty nice shoes.” Hefting everything onto one arm she took Amber’s chosen items and moved over to the counter. Once more she pulled out that flashy golden credit card, the one she loathed yet loved at the same time. While the cashier rung up their items Seb turned to Amber. ”Any particular type of high heel you want? I get stilettos at Target, the ones with the long straps that wind up your leg. It’s so hard to find those.” Scrunching up her nose she absently handed the card to the cashier and listened as the process went through. Taking the card back she stuffed it into her pocket and grabbed the bags. Moving outside Hot Topic she went down to DEB's and stood just inside, scanning for the shoe department.

[Aquired]

As her and Seb went into debbs, she carried her bags in one arm. Come on. The shoes are waaay back here. I dont like stilettos much.. Or skinny heels. More like wedges. Kind of like the white ones I found at hot topic, but not so much looking like tennis shoes. As she spoke, she took Seb to the back of the store by the dressing rooms where the shoes were.

She picked up a pair of black and white high heels. The heels were about 3 inches tall, and they had a white and black design on them. She tried them on. I'm glad I didn't buy those high heels at Hot Topic. I have ones at home that are almost like them anyways. They're not necessarily high heels though. The heel is one inch. Kind of like platform shoes..

[Emo]

”Oh” As Seb was dragged behind Amber she smiled. At least she knew her way around DEB’s well. She waited and watched as Amber looked for shoes. She skimmed the displays absently as she waited. Pumps, no skinny heels. Seemed reasonable enough. ”What about a pair of Cross straps?” Picking up the wedge shoe she looked it over. Simple, black with white trimming and a cross cork skew over the top of the foot. Maybe, at most, 4” high. Setting it back she pulled out a pair, having to look at a box previously replaced by Amber to check for sizing. Pulling the correct size she laid it on the bench and continued scanning.
