Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lizzy!!! the tatzel called out with a skip and a jump...more jump than skip, really. Not a clue in her mind as to what to expect, the white haired ghoul was just excited about learning something new. Coming from a place where everything was passed down or made by hand claw, the idea of a maul was foreign. Her pocket jingled with every bounce as the silver seeds she brought shifted to her movements.

It was a good thing Lizzy was knowledgeable with the custom of prom. For someone of Levi's sort, fashion and co-ordinating clothes was not a known practice. If she was wearing a bathrobe, she'd be no less embarrassed than if she wore a jogging suit. Wiping the hair out of her face, Levi came to a halt infront of Lizzy and smiled, briefly bending with hands on her knees to catch her breath. Ready fer a night on tha town? It was time for an adventure; to an aristocratic world she knew nothing about. Or what she would consider ritzy...

"Levi!" She grinned, wrapping the ghoul in a quick hug before releasing her, letting out a soft, amused giggle, "I see that you're excited!" And excitement is contagious! She was about to link arms with her and lead her out before she realized that there was now an adorable a Jove standing with them.

While they hadn't spoken to each other much - partially because the boil don't really seem to speak at all - there was something about going through dangerous situations together that made her more than ready to call him her friend. Besides, despite how quiet he was, he had been decent company during the trip, and even helped with nailing that terrible giant squid!

"Heyyy Jove!" She giggled, before looking at Levi, and then back at the boil again, a thoughtful expression on her face, "Do you like clothes, Jove?"

Jove's tail wagged harder at the greetings, and puffed up happily at the nudge Levi gave him. Her words earned her a brief head tilt though. She must have meant to say something other than guns, because Jove didn't have any of those, but he couldn't immediately think of anything she might have meant to say.

He could only puzzle so long before glancing over at Lizzy. Asking if he liked clothes was a good way to get a reaction from the pup, his ears perked almost instantly as he nodded his head. It wasn't so much that he liked clothes themselves, or liked clothes in the way that fashion enthusiasts and trend hunters liked clothes, he just loved to wear them. In his human form it made him feel less bare and fluff-less, and the feeling of snuggling up inside a large sweater was wonderful. And when he got clothes from other people they always came with a myriad of interesting scents for him to enjoy... It was part of the reason he had so many of Ren's sweaters tucked away in his room, it was the next best thing to actually being with his brother.

At Jove's head tilt, Levi took a moment to figure out why he'd be perplexed. She then smiled and raised her arm in a flex, patting at her bicep. As a boil who used alot of gestures, she figured gesturing back would be a good way to explain things more clearly.

At Lizzy's question, the boil then began to describe his positive reaction to clothing and the wearing of them. When Lizzy suggested Jove go with them while holding out a hand to the pup, she took it as a polite offering in such a case (being she'd never been in this situation before). Tilting her own head with a bright smile, Levi offered her own hand to Jove as well. Don't see why not. More folk ta fiddle with tha better, I'd reckon!

She giggled as Jove accepted both her and Levi's outstretched hands before leading both students to the door, heading straight for the nearby maul; while she wasn't that close to either students yet, she was determined to have fun shopping. Thus, instead of stopping at the dress boutique she had her eye on, Lizzy headed for a more unisex boutique, selling all sorts of gowns, suits and... Well, costumes.

The store was pretty big, with two floors - the first floor had more formal attire, male clothing to the left and female clothing to the right, and the second floor contained costumes ranging from amusing clown suits to elegant marine coats. Changing rooms were located at the back of each floor.

"Here we are~" She smiled, letting Jove's hand go before eyeing him. She then looked up at Levi and did the same. Looking rather thoughtful, she then gestured towards the rows and rows of clothes, "... Well, why don't you take a look around and tell me what you like?"

Jove had only been in town once before, when his caretaker had driven through on their way to the academy. So the trip there was full of sights and smells and provided a myriad of things for Jove to pay attention to. It was a good thing the ghouls held his hands, they kept him from staring too long at things, or wandering off to follow a scent, or getting spooked by sudden noises and movements.

But once they were inside and they let go of Jove's hands, he stood still for a second to take in everything. There were so many clothes! Racks of them EVERYWHERE. Naturally clothing had to come from somewhere, and Jove knew his caretaker had an entire closet filled with clothing, but this... It was amazing!

Like a shopping pro he trotted right over to the first thing that caught his eye. Except it happened to be a long, red dress, the satiny fabric shimmering slightly in the lights overhead. Jove stared at it with an awed expression and then reached out to run his fingers across the fabric. It was so smooth!

Giving a thankful little wave to Lizzy, Levi kept to her mission at hand. This could be done. Ghouly ghouly... what would those ghouls in her town wear? Trying to awaken the images of various faces/figures in her memory, the ghoul began to look based on color. When she found something that looked about right, she held it up to herself to see it it would fit. Not really... it was a bit small...ah-! but there was more than one size maybe? She'd recalled her Ma trying to teach her about sizing when sewing. Different shapes and sizes of folk and such required sizing changes. Right! She looked through this style of dress and, after holding each one up to herself (not figuring that sizes came on any sort of labeling), she was perplexed as to what she did with it now.

An attendant then passed over to her with a casual "May I help you?" and Levi lifted the dress for her to see warily. "Of course! Dressing rooms are this way," the working ghoul placed a hand on Levi's back, gently guiding her to the back of the shop and into one of the dressing rooms. "Just take your time."

Well, at least she could dress herself just fine. Given that it was a loose requirement for ghouls to wear dresses of this nature, she didn't take too long getting it on. Peering back out from behind the long velvety drapes of the change room, Levi looked over the rows of clothing to find Lizzy's gaze. Was this for a prom?
