Shopping trip! Characters: Angelina, Melinda, and Alicia (that work for posting order, I expect?) Setting: Angie's place then out in shops to be determined. Thursday October 30, early afternoon. Rating: Worksafe, possibly some language. Summary: Angie needs a dress for the gala tomorrow night and she's enlisted the help of Alicia and Melinda. She's not exactly looking forward to it.
The best way to make sure Angelina Johnson was on time for something was to show up at her place and drag her out before she dawdled too long. Asking her to meet you somewhere was asking to be kept waiting, unless you were clever enough to tell her a time earlier than you really needed her to be there. To be honest, Angie wasn't even sure why she was so frequently late. She didn't take extra time to primp, charming her hair to behave didn't take long, and she didn't agonize over what to wear. She simply did a number of things at once, frequently distracted herself and lost track of time. She also tended to misjudged how long it took her to get someplace. Magical travel was near- if not completely instantaneous; she often waited until the last minute to leave and was inevitably held up doing something else.
On this occasion though, Alicia and Melinda were coming to get her, presumably so she didn't try to weasel out of a shopping trip. Angie didn't like shopping, but in the company of two women who did, she found it alternately exhausting and more tolerable. They made the experience more fun, but they also had a tendency to take their time, pick and choose, try on multiple things whereas Angie just wanted to get in, get something, and get it all over with. Angie had washed her hair that morning and was debating going curly and natural for once, but decided against it for now, charming her hair straight enough to tug into a ponytail. She got dressed, donning a purplish-grey t-shirt and tugging on blue jeans . She hadn't gotten her boots or her jumper on yet when she heard someone at the door.
