RP: Meet in the middle
Who: Katarina, Coira
What: Flirting, do opposites attract?
When: 21st May 2029
Where:
Warnings: TBC
Completion Status: Ongoing


As rarely as Katarina managed to have the energy and the will to have a big evening out, especially at a weekend, she loved to really bask in it when she did. She had dressed herself up in a slightly over the top dress and two petticoats (which did a helpful dual duty of puffing out her skirt and keeping her a bit more comfy when sitting down), plus some slightly ridiculous shoes she'd bought recently.

She was perched on a stool with a fancy looking pink and orange mocktail watching people. It was a bit too loud for her to follow conversations she wasn't a part of, and Hen, who had come with her, had also abandoned her already in favour of sticking a tongue down someone's throat. Not that Katarina was complaining really, she'd come out to try and meet someone after all. Dating apps had been disappointing recently, and she wanted to try meeting people in person again.

She wasn't sure if it was the time she spent at Taboo that had changed her tastes and expectations of attractive dress, but she suddenly spotted a woman who reminded her of rock, kink, and pretty much everything opposite to herself all at once. It hit her like a wave and like a wave it was even more of a surprise when it washed back over her on the way back past her. She couldn't pass this one up.

Carefully Katarina slipped off the stool, extended her collapsible (slightly glittery) cane from its hiding place in her purse, and made her way over to the intriguing woman. She wasn't sure she should pull out a cheesy line, but she'd been spending too much time with certain dad-joke tellers again and couldn't get one out of her head.

She smiled as she approached. "Hi, I think we dressed from the opposite ends of the dress spectrum, but they do say opposites attract," she said. She almost said something about meeting in the middle, but that might be a step too far.

It was just a change of scenery Coira told herself. Her string of otherwise meaningless one night stands had been marred by a few lurkers around The Howling Pint. She could take care of herself, but she warned the owner and security regardless. Her first album may have already been released but that pub was her space. What right did they have to make her feel uncomfortable? Not a damn thing. So she'd pulled out her favorite latex dress and thigh high platforms. A look she liked to think told the wary to back the fuck off.

Maybe not as much as she thought as a frilly redhead laid a line on her before she could light up her next cigarette. "I think opposite ends is an understatement." Coira answered and tapped her cigarette back into its pack. The redhead looked like an extra out of the Wizard of Oz, Coira thought as she gave her a head to toe look. The light blue dress stood out in the room and fit her figure nicely. Maybe.. She thought looking into her brown eyes. It was against her more volatile type.

"I think attraction can be a possibility. See where the night takes us?" Coira followed up, turning towards the woman. "Coira." She offered her a hand.

There was almost a dismissal in the woman's eyes, Katarina could see it, but she didn't mind that in the slightest. It was honest. She tilted her head slightly, remembering some of the more corset-forward parts of her wardrobe. "Aesthetically, I'm sure, and the cigarettes would utterly screw me over, but I like vintage style not vintage values," she said brightly.

"I do enjoy seeing where a night takes me, Coira," she said, holding out her hand in return. "I'm Katarina." She wanted to drop her voice, but had no idea if she would be heard properly in the environment.

"I love your boots, I've never quite got on the tall boots thing." All the vintage versions don't have easy zip options. "But they look so good on other people."

Not vintage values. Coira filed that away for later. She refrained from making a comment on the redhead's name. It was apt and fit the vintage style that she was going for it. Well, as much as Coira's fit the dark and edgy vibe she plastered around London and on her socials.

She wiggled her leg, pivoting on her toes. "Thank you." A smile flashing across her face. "I wear them when I sing or when I'm trying to attract the right type of person." She paused. "Well, ward off the wrong type rather."

Coira could see where this would go. So far she couldn't sense any red flags that were a turn off. "That dress is fabulous. No my color, obviously." Coira flourished towards her own. "But I can appreciate someone showing off their figure."

Katarina smirked a little and tried to work out if she fell into either camp. Hopefully she'd at least made it out of the latter for now, but she wasn't sure if she fell into expectations of the former.

"You know people read my clothes all wrong. They know muggle fashion and go '1950s housewife' and I'm all gay, muggleborn business owner with a disability. If I lived in either community at that time I'd end up dead for one reason or another." She shrugged somewhat philosophically, having become accustomed to the thought even if it wasn't a happy one.

She smiled broadly. "Why thank you... I would absolutely agree," she said with a flick of her eyes down Coira's dress. "I get told I'm overdressed and dramatic, which isn't wrong and I embrace it. But my other mode is pyjamas so I'd rather over do it." The conversation was getting away from her a bit, but at least she managed to imply something about her in bed so it was vaguely in the right direction.

Coira gave a bit of a crooked smile. She wasn't sure but Later seemed to be fast approaching. "Nothing wrong with dressing to the nines." The idiom felt clumsy coming out of her mouth, old fashioned. In different circumstances she might have already dragged this redhead towards the nearest apparition point or maybe found a dark corner away from prying eyes.

"I just get told I'm dramatic." A warmth growing in her cheeks. "Oversized hoodies and leggings are great for my flat, but I like to stand out."
