Adventures, Capers and Escapes - Danger Shop, Thursday, Period 3

Oh, look who'd decided to show up today. The Doctor was indeed present and accounted for and wearing a tuxedo. He even had a dashing white scarf draped over his shoulders. This didn't bode well for anyone not comfortable in formal attire.

"Hello! I promise I won't leave Cara in charge any more." That was really all that needed to be said about that. "Today we're going have a dinner party, which can be an adventure, can involve capers and often results in a much-needed escape when you find yourself suddenly engaged to be married and need to get out of there before you become Mr. Marilyn Monroe, because she couldn't be Mrs. The Doctor, because that sounds stupid.

There are change rooms over there with plenty of fancy clothes to dress up in. Try to get into the spirit of things. The better you dress to the occasion, the less likely you are to be noticed unless you want to be noticed." He always wanted to be noticed. Get dressed, enjoy your fake dinner and try not to turn this into one of those murder mystery nights. They're only fun when you're not the victim or the prime suspect. Okay, they're still fun when you're the prime suspect, but that's not programmed in today. The idea is to mingle. Get a feel for your surroundings. Act like you belong. Practice."

There was a hint of things to come if ever there was one.

"I'll be over by the nibblies!"

There was everything that would be expected from an early 20th century walk-in wardrobe full of formal attire. There were things that tied in certain ways and other bits that looped and had to be hooked up. It was all a bit over the top really. Do try to help your fellow students out with the confusing parts!

Please, Leia knew how to deal with complicated clothing since she was used to dressing up for formal occasions. This was a piece of cake.

Cara stared at the wardrobe and the clothes within. Yeah, she was just going to wear her leathers, they were more than formal enough for any occasion.

"Well, it's good to see that Ozian high fashion is still in style here," Elphaba said, half amused as she busied herself finding clothes that wouldn't clash with her skin.

Was it sad that none of this seemed all that out of the ordinary to a girl from several millennia ago? Probably.

Did it seem less weird if you took into account that Gabrielle had had to pose as rich patrons and other kinds of fancily-dressed characters on multiple occasions, been backstage at the very first Miss Known World beauty pageant, and oh, yeah, been made over by the ancient world's version of Tim Gunn in preparation for being married off to a dead king at one point --

Probably not. Never mind then.

Okay, let's stick to how she'd been in a couple of plays in Fandom; that was a nice, non-brainbreaky rationale for how very much the changing room, and the process of picking out an outfit and putting it on, didn't seem to phase her in the slightest.

Helen had dressed for formal occasions before. Not in precisely this type of attire, but similar enough that she was comfortable with it and would be glad to help anyone having a problem.

Ariel was a little sad at the prospect of not having Cara lead class anymore, because that had been fun, but she was just as excited to dress up as she was to not be dressed at all. These dresses were so pretty, and the shoes, she could just die for those shoes, or at least give up her voice again.

And as she got ready and relished in the assignment for today, she reminded herself that it was a good thing she knew better than to brush her hair at the dinner table again! That was going to stop her from pulling out a dinglehopper from her bag to freshen up her hairstyle anyway.

Claudia wondered what it said about her that she was more comfortable putting on a dress to hit people with fish than putting one on to attend a fancy (if faux) dinner party.

Hank grimaced and pulled out a suit that looked like it was his size. As for a tie... "Awwwww... no clip-ons?!?!"

Goose was slightly out of his element as he put on a suit, the last time that he'd had to formally dress up for a dinner hadn't exactly gone very well.

Roy was, to his chagrin sometimes, very familiar with formal attire, and found a tuxedo in his measurements and put it on with no trouble whatsoever. He even tied the stupid bowtie correctly.

Alex had dressed for a couple of formal occasions before (proms and quinceañeras totally counted, right?) and she a bit excited to do so again. Now, all she had to do was decide what to wear.

There was a long table with settings for each of the students with too many forks and not enough elbow room. Two waiters were on hand to move through the room offering non-alcoholic bubbly drinks (sorry, holographic nature of things) and little canapés on trays.

Funny, for a class on mingling and fitting in, there weren't any other guests. Looks like you'll have to chat to each other and pretend to be prim and proper.

Or start a food fight.

Anyone want to offer a toast?

Or complain about their soup being cold?

Or try to translate the menu that doesn't appear to be in any language native to this planet?

Leia wasn't out of her element at all, so she was relaxing and enjoying the mingling and the food.

Cara looked terribly comfortable here, really she did.

Or maybe like she was contemplating maiming the Doctor with a salad fork.

This seemed quite nice and relaxing actually.

Ariel was getting much better at these sorts of dinners...

...even if she was still thinking of lifting some of the forks. They put so many out! They wouldn't even miss a few if they were missing, right?

Seriously, though, what wasn't to love about fancy dinners with fancy food and flatware and clothes and everything else?

Hank took some canapés and peered at them suspiciously. "Aww, it's all, like, fancy food. Why do they always do that? You know what they need at these fancy dinners? Milkshakes!"

Roy pretty much hated this, but he looked totally at ease and polite, like he was in his element.

Too many damn dinner parties with Ollie. Too. Many.

The Doctor was definitely at the table, enjoying himself far too much. He was available for any and all dinner conversation and would probably even strike up aforementioned conversation if anyone so much as glanced his way.

No, the fish knife would be much better for maiming the Doctor, Cara decided.

Unusual circumstance to RP in when your character doesn't expect their surroundings and they're told they really should participate in some way? Must be a Thursday!

Oops! Sorry about jumping the gun on signing in before all the OCD was up!

Omg you are in soooooo much trouble.
