BWI - Portalocity Lounge [Friday Morning]

[awakestheghosts]

Chloe got off her flight from New York and followed the signs to the lounge. She dumped the duffle bag of clothes that Andrew had hastily purchased on the floor and slumped into one of the uncomfortable airport chairs.

She was still against this plan but she realized on the flight that sulking wouldn't make it any better so she was going to put on a brave face and make the most of it.

"... sort of," Elle said, making a face. "And I was sheltered, too." Said with the tone of someone who'd had that drilled into her.

"Omigod, that's totally the worst ever!" Elle invited herself to sit down in a chair right next to Elle number two. "No wonder you'd rather be anywhere but here. I'm proud of you! You're totally here, right? And you've already made one friend. That's like awesome!"

That caused Elle to look a little startled. "I made a friend already? Oh, wow, I kinda did."

She hadn't expected it to be that easy; she knew her social skills weren't exactly the best, thanks to more than five years of being with the Company, so this was kind of a pleasant surprise.

"You did!" she replied, her energy totally making her perky. "Not just kind of, either. We're going to have super fun times together!"

She could take her to a salon and maybe talk her into getting highlights, share her issues of Cosmo, then there were the slumber parties, manicures, pedicures...

"I'm from Bel Air, California. Where are you from?"

"Ohio," Elle said, making a face. "I know, I know. Boring, right?"

It really was, too.

"I can't answer truthfully, Elle, as I've never been there but I trust you, since you should know," she said. "Is it like what, desert land?"

"It's just... flat and boring. I don't really remember it too well," Elle explained. "I was nine when we moved."

Plus the torture that she didn't remember had killed bits and pieces, too.

"How unfortunate; I'm so sorry," she comforted. "We'll go shopping! Do you like to shop?"

Re: Mingle!

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"I don't go out much," Elle said. "Mostly my dad just has people shop for me."

And Elle terrorized them into returning the stuff she didn't like.

"But you can change all that now," encouraged Elle. "Your dad isn't here and I can totally see you in pink pedal pushers and a cashmere sweater!"

Re: Mingle!

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"... ooh, cashmere."

Apparently there really was some girliness hiding in there somewhere. Who knew?

Elle nodded, looking adorable in her pink leather that cost a fortune. "Pink even. The color will look fabulous on you. Trust me." Fancy that. Two Elle's, both blonde, both blue-eyed. One might think the BFF fate was at work here.

Re: Mingle!

"But not too much pink," Elle decided. "That's your color. We can't both wear a lot of pink, otherwise how are people going to know who's who?"

Elle's logic was special at the best of times..

Re: Mingle!

[awalkingfelony.livejournal.com]

Oh, Elle didn't really have to answer that did she?

"You're totally right. We'll go with blues and purples for you. Both excellent choices."

And supported by her canon's wardrobe people!

"I think I like blue better than pink, anyway," Elle admitted.
