"I designed it, but one of the island's employees must have made it. All I know is that I put the sketch up at the beginning of the month and this was on my bed this morning. If I'd made it the skirt would have been lower and the top a bit higher." Bah to seamstresses and their liberties!
Smiling, Greer gestured approvingly at Em's outfit. "In any case, I think you have the Most Sexy Hedgehog Award nailed."

Emelyn was sure that two things were very evident to anyone in the tent: firstly, that her blush was a permanent fixture to this costume, and that Emelyn White... did not laugh softly.
"Yes," she said, when her laughter died down, "because I have such a heavy competition in the sexy hedgehog category. Although I think we may have to duel it out in the just plain sexy category." She wrinkled her nose at the bird woman, noting that what the others had told her was true- Greer really had hit 50%.
"And I'm ALWAYS 'freelancing'," Em said, raising her eyebrow sarcastically, "But I came with Ambrose, if that's what you're asking. ...Oh!" She'd almost forgotten. "Greer, I didn't know you were going to be here tonight, or I would have remembered! I have a gift for you!"

"I dunno, Sea Goddess, I think the lengths are just right." - he shrugged nonchalantly.
"And you came with Ambrose? Excellent!" - a Cheshire grin spread out on Dude's face. "Where is the dog, btw? And what have you all been up to here?" - he looked around for hte blue haired girl and the dark haired child he saw when he first entered. Where'd they go?

"Hey, if you can you have to dress sexy as a girl on halloween! It's practically the only time you can get away with it without too much censure." She smiled, rasising an eyebrow. "Present? Oh, speaking of stuff that would have been brough had we known the other would be here, I need to return the book I got from you - and run off with as many more as you'll let me. Fiction is great!"
Greer snorted, poking the sea lion in the stomach. "You would."

"You liked my story?" Emelyn's eyes went wide, and joy burst from a small star that lived inside, where her dreams were stored. "Oh, now I'm so glad I got you a present! Well, not 'got'...made." She gushed. "I heard you grew wings, and figured that would make it insane to get a shirt on. So I cut a few tank tops up the sides, all the way from the bottom to the armholes- and then fixed snaps to either side, so you can put them on like a tunic, right over the wings, and then snap them in. ...I only made two, in case you didn't like them."
She looked around for Ambrose, only to shrug at the towel-clad Dude. "I honestly have no idea. ...He snuck a grasshopper onto my plate, and then vanished."

The two sexy ladies were clearly involved into conversations the Dude knew little about. Oh well. Too bad Ambrose split ...
"He put a grasshopper on your plate? That's not smooth" - he grinned, then let the two ladies to talk and concentrated at the snack table

Greer squealed, leaving Sean to give Em a quick hug. "That's wonderful, thank you! You have no idea how long it takes me to get dressed in the morning. You're such a sweetie!"

"Oh, you're so welcome!" Em said, enjoying the strange, albeit brief sensation of being embraced by wings, before standing back and noting that the Dude had... mostly extricated himself from the conversation. She realized she was monopolozing the couples time, and decided to bow out.
"Well, I'm sure I'll see you guys later tonight- but right now.. I think I have to go find the wolf." She winked, and waved as she clicked off on her heels.

His mouth too proccupied by snacks at the moment, the Dude jsut waved good bye with a flippered hand and then folded it into a thumbs up sign when she mentioned Ambrose.

"Good luck pup hunting!" Greer waved to Emelyn and joined Sean by the snack table, giving him a speculative look. "Em and Ambrose, hmm? Been playing match maker?"

"Me? Naaaah ... just put in a few obviously good words about wolfboy to Em. That's all. Didn't think anything woudl come of it, actually" - he grinned and poured himself and Greer a cup of punch.
"Pretty empty here ..."

Greer rolled her eyes, trying not to shudder at some of the buglike snacks. "Suuure. You'll forgive me if I have a hard time imagining you as innocent."
Accepting the punch, she glanced around the empty place speculatively, the hawk suggesting some sordid ideas. "Guess we'll just have to make our own party." She said lightly.

The Dude smiled and toasted to Greer: "I think that at least Em is independant enough to not give a lick about what I was saying to her. And Ambrose, well, he just needs a hug really badly."
"Guess so." - he walked over investigatively to the sound equipment.

"Oh hey, what have you been up to lately? Sorry I have been around, but I haven't really been keen on showing off my feathers." Glad to get away from the tramatizing snack table - those poor, innocent bug effigies! - she followed him towards the dance floor. "Dare I ask what you're doing?"

"I've been diving around the island. The more I do it the better I get at it. It's a visious cycle." - he smiled at her softly: "I'm glad you not only showed off your feather todays but packaged him very spectacularly!"
As they were talking he located the song he was looking for on the list and punched in the number. The raggae sounds of "Red Red Wine" began streaming form the speakers and the Dude grabbed Greer's hands
"Wanna dance?"
