Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lizzy, on the other hand, did not miss Levi and the 'dress' she chose - 'dress' because she could hardly count it as one, really. While she would normally respect her friends' choice of clothes, that attire was just not... Well, prom-suitable. She paused, waving an attendant over and speaking to her while still holding onto Jove's hand; she didn't want to lose the pup in the sea of clothing, after all.

"Levi, the two ladies will pick some dresses for you... You try them on and tell me which one you find the most comfortable, alright?" She called to the ghoul before turning to face Jove with a grin, "Now as for you... You like soft, silky fabrics? You must like the feel of it against your body, huh?"

Leading him over to the boils' section, to a rack filled with rather fancy-looking formal wear, she released his hand and lowered herself to his eye level, "Stay close, alright? Tell me if something catches your eye."

Hopefully he wouldn't wander back to the ghoul section of the shop... She doesn't really want to see Jove in a dress.

Once Jove was let loose, after a fashion, he followed along behind Lizzy touching the sleeves of various suits and shirts. Most of the selection would be too big for him, but he didn't seem to notice. His tail wagged whenever he felt something soft, but what he couldn't find were the casual things. Like soft shirts and cosy sweaters.

He paused by a suit jacket with ruffles at the neck, and glittery baubles and chains hanging off the buttons. It reminded him of his caretaker, when the old man was dressed up for special occasions. The pup missed his caretaker very much... Maybe he could go home to visit sometime after the semester was over.

When the attendants returned to Levi, they held a frock each. She didn't have any time really to look them over as she was scooted back into the dressing room followed by the two. Why she'd need help dressing in these at her age was beyond- oh. She hadn't worn something like this before and there were certain garments especially required in order to wear them? golly

S-so this is 'supposed ta be tighin' up 'ere? She wriggles a bit at the strapping of the dress, not quite sure why it was low in some places and tight in others.

The attendants were good- but apparently missed the mark on this one. It had been chosen in too small a size ...or Levi was just too tall for the style to work out as it was meant to. One attendant did grin at the other at noticing this. Perhaps they had a bet going on who'd actually find the suitable dress. With a slight frown, the failed attendant pattered back into the racks to find her next gown.

While the remaining attendant began unzipping the next thing to try on, Levi quickly slid out of the draping door again to meet Lizzy's eyes. She picked at the shoulder straps that just would not go up.

The sad thing about Jove expression his sadness at being called 'adorable'? It made him look even more adorable. Lizzy only chuckled softly at the observation (not that she knew he was upset about being called adorable), however, as she ushered him into a changing room, hooking the hangers for each piece of clothing up on the wall. She frowned slightly, gauging the distance between pup and clothing; he should be able to reach them...

Just in case though, she slipped in a stool, placing it in front of the mirror in the changing room, "If you have trouble with the pants, sit down before putting them on, alright? They might be a bit long for you." That and he could always use the stool to stand on to get to the clothing! Genius!

"I'll leave you to it then!" She beamed at Jove before in one swift motion, swept the drape hanging over the dressing room door to close it, leaving Jove inside by himself, "Call me if you need help!"

Noticing Levi nearby, she giggled at the way the shoulder straps were positioned, then at the way her... Boobs... Were... Uh. She blushed in Levi's place before waving for her to get back into the changing room before anyone else sees her.

Jove would probably have liked Levi's latest dress if he had been there to see it, instead of nudged into a change room of his own and left to himself. Lizzy wanted him to put on the clothes?

He glanced at the fancy coat and pants, and slowly his tail started to wag.

The pup's excitement grew as he made a reach for the clothes, and then scrambled up onto the stool to pull them down. However he wasn't cursing his short little legs for once. His mind was on other things, primarily how pleasing it was to try on something new, and he wiggled out of his pants with great haste so he could pull on the dressy pair. Lizzy's suspicions had been right, they were long, and covered most of his feet as he scrambled back up onto the stool to grab the coat.

Jove's sweater came off with equal enthusiasm and he pulled the fancy coat on over his white t-shirt. It's fancy cuffs hung down to his fingertips, but he was still able to button the jacket and happily bounce out of the dressing room for Lizzy to see.

Confirming Lizzy's decision on the new dress, Levi looked to Jove. He seemed to be enjoying the somewhat oversized suit. Sure looking sleek, Jove. Sleek. She nodded with approval as Lizzy fine tuned it for him. Sleek was what she'd heard boils use before to compliment one another on attire, so it seemed appropriate to use it at this time.

The attendant that was responsible for the pastel explosion went out into the racks again with a bit of a huff. She'd get it right this time for sure! Wavering for Levi to return to the dressing room, the attendant with the newest dress closed the drapery again to have at Levi. There was alot of unzipping and rustling this time. Guess this ghoul wasn't so good with removing corsets and the like.

Fabric fell softly to the floor. This attendant had decided that color was overated; what Levi needed was a little black dress! ...well, with a bit longer a length anyway. It was riddles with sequence and gleamed under the lights. Levi found this dress rather comfortable too! It was not that she cared but the slit at the front was a bit...

She exited the change room again to get a response on this dress. Attendant #2 was packing and ready with another dress already too. Near fumes coming out of her ears directed at the other attendant peering out from behind the curtain.

"Close but not really?" She commented to Levi with a tilt of her head, although the phrase 'cat woman' came to mind for some reason, "Something... Lighter in color, maybe?" She stroked her chin thoughtfully; she felt a little bad for the attendants helping out, but it had to be perfect for prom! Well, at least close to perfect.

Lizzy couldn't resist giggling at Jove's reaction to the jacket, although she didn't need to ask to figure out what might had happened, judging from the way he was scratching his arms and neck, "Hold on, Jove..." She then disappeared into the sea of clothing before coming back with a white, long-sleeved button up.

"Try taking your shirt off and putting on this, and then putting the coat over that," She nodded, holding out the shirt for him before gesturing at the dressing room he was in a moment ago, "Might help with the... Itchiness of the fabric."

Jove slowly finished scratching at his arm as Lizzy came back with a long-sleeved shirt, the ruffles at the front and on the cuffs matching the fancy jacket. And then a worried expression came over his face.

One hand strayed to his left side as he nervously looked at his feet. Even though he would have the shelter of the dressing room to take off his shirt, he didn't want either of the ghouls to know about the bruises that spread across his ribs. His anxiety about those dark marks had increased since their field trip, when they had spread all the way up to his cheek, and down to his knee. Even now that they were healed back to their usual state he wanted nothing more than to keep them hidden.

So he cowered, fluffy ears turned backwards, until an idea occurred to him. Then he perked up, grabbed the shirt, and pulled it on right over top his t-shirt. His tail wagged.

The shirt was too big too, ruffles hanging well past his fingertips.
