Refined Dining [Amanda]

[Amanda Dupomme]

As Alice was busy contemplating whatever was on her mind, Amanda curiously looked over the small seahorse before her. He did genuinely seem to want to be dressing up as well, which posed a small issue. Unlike most Pokemon, the body shape of the Poison-Type would likely be difficult to adapt to any proper clothing, especially in that any evolution would greatly alter and distort what had already been done.

Secondly, and more likely the more serious of the problems: the Pokemon was literally covered in toxic areas. Any fabric placed over it could stain if not outright be destroyed by the corrosive acid.

Thirdly, it was a boutique for humans. Not Pokemon, so that made the selection tricky in itself. Amanda was not one to be daunted, however; thus with a quick glance she noticed something appropriate. Giggling, she withdrew a small bow from a nearby shelf: intended to be used as an armband. With great care, she extended the loop of the bow and pulled it up alongside the body of the Skrelp, tightening it once more around it's throat to create a scarf like appeal.

''Voila!'' She smiled: ''...now don't you look marvelous?''

While she was contemplating about her own thoughts, Amanda had decided to give him some kind of article of clothing that fits his size. Since he was a small seahorse, any small piece of accessory might work though he was dangerously toxic to some material. Anything that tried to cover those toxic areas would corrode like rusting metal. The seahorse looked around for anything that might fit him until something was tied to his neck. It appeared that Amanda had given him a now to wear in a scarf-like fashion. And when he was asked if he looked marvelous, he agreed happily. "I always thought Morgan would look dashing in a bow tie." The poisonous seahorse nodded as he proudly wore the bow tie with pride. Even if it looked silly on a Poison type, she approved of this sort of thing. That bow tie might win some points for strange cuteness after all.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda giggled at the cuteness of the seahorse. That he seemed to enjoy his new wardrobe was a pleasant surprise, it was always good to find others that were interested in her hobbies, whether they were people or Pokemon. She smiled at the other girl.


''I agree, he looks very marvelous, don't worry about the price tag, he can keep the bow on and it'll be my treat.''


She stood up, facing Alice properly. ''Now then!'' She began, crossing her arms. ''How about you? Would you care to try on your outfit or should I suggest a few more? Else I would care to find something for myself and then we can both see how we look?''


It wasn't an entirely bad idea, although she wasn't quite sure of what fashion sense the Mana Dormer had, it was always a clever way to go about that you asked the opinions of others. Perhaps Alice would have some good ideas of her own.


''Or perhaps, you would like to suggest something for me?''

[Alice Geissler]

"I guess I might have a few ideas of what clothing I might suggest for you. Now, let's see..." She went over to where the dresses were and the seahorse followed. There were a lot of patterns that might fit a Wave dormer, but some of them might have a color that was different than other uniform colors. Amanda might like dresses that have elegant blue colors in them or some frills to go along with it. Since she knew that Water type trainers tend to have Pokemon that are elegant in some form, perhaps some of those blue dresses with vibrant patterns might be a good choice. The Skrelp looked at some of those blue dresses, careful not to accidentally destroy the fabric with the toxins on his body. And then he had spotted something blue with a vibrant light blue dot pattern on one dress. She took one look and decided that dress might be good. Taking the dress off its rack, she showed it to Amanda. "What do you think of this one?"

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda smiled as she carefully took the dress from Alice, looking it over with equal measures interest and no small degree of being impressed. It was actually a very nice looking dress, enough that she felt like perhaps Alice did have some fashion sense, if not one often shown. All she needed now was a good pair of boots to go along with it, perhaps some accessories.


''Tres bien!'' she giggled, hanging the clothing over her arm as she nodded warmly towards the other girl. ''The dressing rooms are that way...'' she pointed to the end of the store, where a small curtain hid several booths. ''Shall we try on these dresses?'' Queried the Kalosian, now rather curious as to what they would look like in their new outfits.

[Alice Geissler]

"Yes, let's try on those dresses and see what we look like." Amanda had pointed out that the dressing rooms were at the end of the store. The poisonous seahorse was eager to see what the two girls looked like in those dresses, though she wasn't sure if they allowed a seahorse inside those booths. Maybe the store manager would allow it since they might think that Morgan was a pet. And it looked like that Amanda loved that dress with a vibrant dot patten on it. Maybe trying on that mini-dress might produce some results for those who might know what cartoon character wore that in a certain show. She could remember watching some shows that had animated characters wearing sailor suits fighting against an evil mastermind and his minions. Maybe those girls in the show had a similar dress like this white mini-dress.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Gently placing a hand on the shoulder of the other girl, Amanda smiled and gestured towards the changing rooms, guiding Alice into one and taking a second for herself. Although she was briefly worried someone might mention the seahorse, she imagined that like most stores: the boutique probably allowed it.

As she closed the door behind her, locking it. Amanda held up the dress she had been given in the mirror. It looked nice enough, but she wouldn't really know until she tried it on. With practiced ease: the young Kalosian removed her uniform, hanging the parts on the provided hanger. As she zipped herself into the dress, Amanda giggled and twirled in front of the mirror. She looked pretty!

With a tap on the wall, the Kalosian checked on her friend. ''How is it going in there?'' She asked.

[Alice Geissler]

She was guided inside a dressing room where there was a mirror to see how an article of clothing would fit and a hanger to put away her uniform. She locked the door behind her, so nobody could actually get in to sneak a peek on her changing clothes. Good thing that the poisonous seahorse was occupied in his bow tie, checking himself out in the mirror. She took off her uniform with care and placed it on one of the hangers. She placed the mini-dress over herself as to see if it actually fit her size. Yep, surprisingly the mini-dress had matched her size. She put it on and checked in the mirror while the seahorse was busy twirling around in his bow tie. She did look pretty in that mini-dress and there was a knock on her door followed by Amanda's voice asking her if she was okay in there. "I'm okay. Just trying on the mini-dress." The seahorse took one look at what his trainer was wearing and nodded in agreement.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda nodded cheerfully as Alice responded, happy that the other girl was at least interested in the outfit provided, jokingly as it may have been. Herself, she continued to inspect her own dress, it was quite lovely and frilly, with a dot pattern she really liked. Although she wasn't entirely certain on the color, perhaps red would be better.

Shrugging, she looked down, while she been forced to remove her shoes in order to step into the dress, her pale stockings fit nicely with what Alice had chosen. Once again, though: she felt like the color could go better, perhaps something more pink.

Amanda knocked on the wall of the changing room once more. ''I'm going to go out now...'' she explained. ''You can come out too when you want, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the dress!'' Smiling, she pushed through the modesty curtain, taking a long look in the full length mirror outside. Her Hariyama: now inside and standing by, raised a large thumb in approval.

[Alice Geissler]

And it seemed as if she heard Amanda say that she'll come outside and wait for her to come out once she was ready. The seahorse nodded with approval at the dress and he was eager to actually to see what Amanda had on too. She unlocked the door and came out with the mini-dress on. "Well, that dress looks pretty on you. Don't you think so, Morgan?" The poisonous seahorse nodded and waited to see if Amanda had any opinions on the dress. Most people don't see a seahorse wearing a bow tie everyday, but that had its moments during some shows that had trimmed dog Pokemon showcasing their cuteness. And of course, there was always something unexpected in those shows where a Furfrou could wear a silly tutu and be a male. She didn't mind anything that wore silly accessories, so as long as people didn't ridicule her Pokemon for it and just accept them for who they were. "And I think my dress looks good on me. It's marvelous." And those fashion shows on television had more beautiful dresses, but the boutique had some fashion sense for selling dresses like these.
