So the best part, the best part, about winning two dates at the auction? She has two dates with two different people who are so wonderfully opposite she gets to come up with two completely different outfits. And outfits means she needs the right accent pieces, the right make-up. Even if she's pretty sure one of them won't really notice, and the other one might but then won't make a big deal about it.

Still, Lola is all about looking good so she trolling through the malls and clothing boutiques looking for just the right outfits. She can be seen picking up articles of clothing, holding them up to herself, and willing her hair color to match with what she has trying to get a sense of what to do.

"Do I wanna wear purple? Or do I wanna wear something that matches well to purple?" Lola muses aloud, no items in hand as she just shifts her hair from her usual metallic blue to a dark royal purple.

Every paycheck has seen Buffy out and about the city, checking out all the stores and finding whatever new treasures she could to add to her growing wardrobe. She's always been the type to take pride in her appearance, but more than that, years of nightly clothes-ruining by vampires and assorted demons has made her prone to buying perhaps a little too much. She hasn't run out of closet space yet, though, so it's fine. It's totally fine. Pay no attention to the two giant bags she's dragged into the latest shop.

Spotting a familiar face (just not as familiar as it should be, apparently), she approaches Lola in time to hear the question and see the shift in hair color. The latter doesn't even make her blink.

"I think something that matches purple will be more striking, personally," she offers with a friendly smile.

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lola's been a bit better, but she's been here longer so her wardrobe is already well furnished until winter comes calling. Also she cooks most so she maintains certain items in the kitchen. Although with her hair she's had a lot more color options than she had at home.

Lola was slowly getting used to someone not remembering her. And that it wasn't her fault. It was the universe (universes?) being stupid and lame. Lola nodded, "Well, I won't be wearing the purple, I'm guessing my date will wear something purple or maybe navy. She's pretty fond of dark colors."

Keith was so much easier, he liked red. Red was easy. She grabbed a few blue and green items to consider for dealing with that date. She wasn't even in the right store for her date with Yuffie, "So... light colors? White, pinks? Go really girly?"

Lola knocked on the wall to the other half of Floor Two, "You ready to go?" Lola peeked just an eye in, which was enough to show her hair color was a pastel blue-green color. She'd put little darker blue highlights in her hair to really set it off. She wasn't sure what the etiquette was on 'who makes the date after a person auction' but Keith seemed fairly hopeless on this so Lola just made choices and he would just have to deal. Besides, he was going to have fun.

Lola wasn't wearing as much jewelry as she normally did, simple stud earrings instead of her usual more extravagant things. Her hair had been pinned back with little braids for accent. And her outfit was a simple peasant blouse and jeans, her shoes a practical set of sneakers... but everything was all matched and stylish enough she clearly put thought into it. There was a definite 'mermaid' color scheme going on. "We're going to have so much fun!"

[tempredmental]

Yup. Keith was pretty hopeless about this kind of thing. A regular date probably would have been easier, but he wasn't sure about any of the etiquette about this kind of auction thing, either, so he panicked and clammed up. When Lola had decided to take control, he was more than happy to let her do so.

She hadn't given him too many details, but told him to be ready for some sort of "activity", so he was also dressed fairly casual. Red and black was A Thing with him, so that was the color scheme for the night again. He nodded when she poked her head around to see if he was ready.

"Yeah." And don't mind him, Lola. He still had that large knife strapped to the back of his belt as per usual. He pretty much never went anywhere without it.

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lola couldn't keep a secret, but she could just defer details as well as anyone. Still, she needed to be sure his outfit was right, nothing too movement restrictive, proper footwear. But he's a guy does he even have more than one set of shoes? The knife is an interesting touch, she frowns at it, but doesn't say anything.

She nods her approval, this'll do.

She runs over and just kinda attaches herself to his arm, looping her arm around his like this is exactly how this works. "Let's go. I've got the directions in my phone. This'll be so much fun, it isn't that far."

[tempredmental]

Oh... arm latching... okay. Keith tried really hard not to tense up in surprise. He was learning that Lola was a very tactile person, kind of like Hunk, and that this was just something he was going to have to get used to. He'd adapt, but yeah... He nodded.

"Okay. I guess I'll follow your lead, then."

Keith managed a small smile in response.

Lola was really good at clothes, she swears! And she'd looked up pictures of kimonos and made sure she found the cutest one. And it was, it was three different kinds of pink and it had little flowers on it and it was the right size. The fabric felt really good when she touched it and she was sure she'd just be the cutest ever. Sadly, however, it was a garment Lola had zero experience with putting on. She had no idea what she was suppose to wear under it, she kept trying to put it on and tie and not getting anywhere, it just looked wrong. Like she missed something obvious.

And that wasn't even touching the sash she had no idea how to tie with the bow behind her when she can't see what she's doing. Because Lola isn't thinking any of this through at all and she's already late and maybe Yuffie thinks she's standing her up. And the only reason Lola's not crying is that it'd mess up her make-up and that is unacceptable. She has just the right amount of eyeshadow and her lashes are perfect.

[thegreatninja]

If Yuffie thought that Lola stood her up she didn't show it. She walked through the door of Lola's room wearing a purple kimono that was decorated in flowers and clouds. A midnight blue band of fabric tugged tightly around her waist while paper flowers were hanging from her short black hair.

"Having trouble?" She tried to hide her smile as she walked up to Lola. "Let me help." Yuffie's been putting on Kimono's since she was a kid.

Her fingers slipped against Lola's side as she refastened the tie that helped keep one side of the kimono closed. She then pulled the fabric over, smoothing out the neckline. "Okay, your only job is to stand there. Got it?" Yuffie might tease Lola about this... just a little bit.

[threatenwithcuteness]

If anyone other than Yuffie broke into her room she'd probably be a bit more put off. But honestly she was going out with a ninja for the day so she can't really be surprised. Plus she needed the assistance. And Lola was not too proud to accept the help. She was worrying her lip just a bit as Yuffie went to work fixing and tying everything.

"Yes ma'am," Lola wasn't used to other people calling the shots, but she fell into the role well right now. Yuffie knew what she was doing and Lola trusted this girl she only recently met. Lola's hair had a few little bangles and charms in it, pinning it down in a way that looked nice but was still let her bangs fall over her forehead. "You look really nice."

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie snickered through her teeth sound a little bit like a laughing snake. Dark purple eyes remained focus on her task as she oriented Lola and tied her obi. It wasn't actually that difficult but then Yuffie had learned when she was young. "Usually you tie these in front of you and then rotate it behind you. Trying another other way is difficult." She walked around Lola to finish orienting the obi. "And thanks! I love dark colors but purple and blue's are best." At least Yuffie thought so. "I guess I like green too." Maybe she wasn't that picky.

With the obi properly tied, Yuffie walked around Lola to make sure that everything was in order. She tugged softly against the neck line, running her fingers along Lola's skin as she straightened out the fabric. When she was done she smiled.

"There! ready to go? We're going to turn all the heads. Two pretty ladies like us."

OPEN - The Supportive Friend

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lola can be found in her usual places; school, work, floor 2, floor 6. However she's decidedly un-Lola like in her manner. She's still polite, still offer to help with food and just about anything. But she's not as energetic and in your face as she is normally. Like maybe she's not sleeping well, or just is overdoing it in her daily activity.

She's definitely yawning too much and relying too much on coffee to get by. And there's every chance she's just... asleep. Where she is. Which might be a problem at work, less of an issue on the sofas in the common areas of Floor 2 or 6. Even if she doesn't live on Floor 6. Maybe someone should check on her.

[ohhmrburnsides]

Magnus is an early riser—he has to be, what with his job. So he spends some alone time in the living areas of Floor Six every morning, as quiet as he can manage. (Which, being who he is, isn't very quiet, but it's quiet enough.)

On this morning he's startled to see Lola on the couch. Although he isn't familiar with everyone on his floor just yet, he's aware enough to notice that Lola isn't from around here.

He considers whether or not he should let her be, but something like concern comes over him as he wonders why she would end up on this couch, so he taps on her shoulder to wake her, gently.

"Hey, are you alright?"

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lola's hair is that wonderful snowy white it goes when she's asleep. It takes her a few moments of blinking her eyes open to really figure out all the 'wrong' with what's going on. This is a sofa, not her bed. This isn't her floor, that's obvious with the fact that all the stuff is wrong. "What time is it?"

She's still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and trying to put things together. She's more of a morning person than this, usually. She'll need a little help getting her thoughts over the finish line.

[ohhmrburnsides]

It's Too Early. "I think a little after 6 a.m.," he says. "I'm heading out to work soon. Thought it was weird seeing a stranger on the couch."

He figures she's one of the 'regulars' that Edward mentioned to him before. And even if this is the case, he feels bad waking her up into confusion, in what's probably a weird environment for her, so he offers her some kindness.

"You want some cereal or something?"

BEDSHARING EVENT

[threatenwithcuteness]

(OOC: As Lola is underage and not 100% of the game is comfortable with this sorta plot with this sorta character, I'll just be doing this here. If we've talked about a thread, you can throw up a starter to preempt me throwing one up, or wait till I get one up for you and your character. If you wanna do this event with your character and Lola, ping me on plurk (rakath) or on discord (purplerakath#9681) and we can work something out.)

@tempredmental

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lola had spent most of the day trying to keep herself from doing... whatever it was she does, by accident. She'd kept her focus on things and stuff and not people. It was kinda like a game, don't think of people. However being out did lead her to breathe in some sorta perfume someone had been testing on passersby. It wasn't that bad a smell, Lola just didn't know exactly what it was going to do.

Naturally when she got tired, a totally reasonable not superpowered tired, the thing kicked in, and her sense of direction got a little... weird. Left was right, up was down, her bed was now Keith's bed. Totally okay right? At least, with the confusion she wasn't near her pajamas, which were rather showy. So she crawled in wearing a pair of yoga pants and... okay a sports bra. But that covered more than most of her bikinis! This is fine.

Keith will be so surprised when he wakes up, so will Lola for that matter.

[tempredmental]

Keith wasn't a heavy sleeper. But the past few days with these weird bed switches and things like that, he was actually kind of tired. So, he didn't really notice at first when someone climbed into bed with him. In fact, part of him thought it might have been someone bumping into his bed as they walked past.

His head thought back to the fire, for a moment, though, because he had thought the same thing just before all hell had broken loose. So, his head pushed him to wake up. He opened his eyes, but there was no bright flash like the last time. Instead, there was a warm weight behind him on the bed. He was momentarily confused. This had only happened once... the other two bed things so far had him ending up in someone else's bed. So, he cautiously rolled over, wondering if Nico had ended up in his bed again.

Nope...

"Lola?"

By now, he was kind of used to it? So he didn't immediately panic, but he was definitely concerned. Was she that tired?

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lola was getting better about being aware of her powers, she'd also upped her caloric intake to deal with the excess energy burned with her... whatever it was. The whole 'lack of uninterrupted sleep' thing was keeping her pretty comfortably asleep as Keith woke up. Lola squirmed a little at the change in terrain, but that was in.

She was cute, adjusting her position in her sleep, do you wake? y/n

@alchemyfreak

[threatenwithcuteness]

So Lola made a few mistakes going to bed. She went left instead of right when picking which half of the floor to sleep in. But after that she turned left (correct), and headed for the bed nearest that wall (also correct). Oh, and one other tiny detail.

She's on the wrong floor. She never got on the elevator back to Floor 2. She's still on Floor 6.

Hopefully Ed doesn't mind having someone in bed with him. Cause she's definitely going to mind his cold as hell arm. And when that happens she'll be very awake and very much on the floor in her efforts to back away.

At least she's dressed? That's something right?

[alchemyfreak]

Ed is no stranger to sleeping with people, it had become a necessity in some of the places he was in before the Quarantine. Hell, he slept with Al when they were kids plenty of times, mostly before the armor when his brother no longer needed sleep but even then to keep up certain appearances. So another body in his bed wouldn't even register right away, and he'd just keep sleeping unless something happened to wake him up.

What does wake him up is Lola's scrambled efforts to get away from the chill of his automail. There isn't much room between the beds so he turns in confusion at the commotion of someone getting out of his bed to find Lola, of all people, on the floor between them.

"Lola..?" That hardly sounds like an awake reaction, Ed sat up rubbing at an eye before peering at her again as if she might vanish once he was fully aware of his surroundings. No, she was definitely still there, and very much real. "What are you doing here, it's the middle of the night..."

@lionunchained

[threatenwithcuteness]

...Your explanation for how she got here is as good as mine. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe she was looking for Keith and got tired, maybe she was just trying to see how the upper floors looked after the fire. Maybe she got really lost on her way home.

Anyway Shiro, this won't be awkward at all.

[lionunchained]

Shiro was surprised honestly how soundly he had been asleep. This didn't happen often. Normally, he was awake at the drop of a hat, but today, you could practically wake the dead and not disturb him. Restful sleep, what a concept.

So color him surprised when he woke up and found himself no longer alone... and no longer alone with a girl maybe around Keith's age. This... was weird.

"Oh quiznak."

[ragnarsson]

Ivar wakes up slowly, the flowery scent of shampoo in his nose. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself with a close-up look of white hair. What is going on here? He groans, lifting his head a little bit, fumbling for the knife he keeps under his pillow. Then his eyes focus and he realizes it's Lola next to him.

The tenseness in his shoulders drains out and he stops fumbling around for the knife. Memories of the last time they were in a bed together come flooding into his mind, making him feel rather awkward. Instead of waking her up, he just sighs, and makes sure she's covered securely with a blanket. Then he lies back down, scooting away from her a little bit.

[threatenwithcuteness]

Between her new powers and other nights of wandering into strange beds, Lola is still asleep. That doesn't mean she's soundly asleep. Because she's a cuddly thing (as opposed to Dolores), she's just going to follow Ivar's body heat and curl up against him. She's still asleep, she means well. But this is probably a bad idea.

She's just as cute sleeping as she is awake, if that helps.
