For the occasion, Chris had retouched her blonde, bringing it close to it's actual natural color, and her dress and jewelry were a bit more classy than she usually favored. Not too shabby, in her opinion.

She hooked up with her date, holding out a small box for her while she had a dress design kit for dolls under one arm. "Merry Christmas, or winter observance of choice, Miss Fantasia." She grinned.

	"Merry Various to you, too," Pauline said happily, adjusting the stack of drums to open the box. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Inside the box are two hair-clips, clearly handmade but seemingly durable enough. One of them is made from a machine gun shell casing, with a flower bloom at one end of it. The other is a simpler clip, but with a tiny model of an amp with a smiley face built into its design. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing of it. No chance to measure you for anything, but I thought I should bring my date something after all." Chris grins. "Not quite a corsage, but I think they suit you." She gestures to the box. "May I?" She looks at Pauline's hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, that was more a test design to go with your band's name. Glad you like it though." Chris nods and takes out the one with the amp, examining Pauline for a moment before stepping in and affixing it over her right ear, giving her hair a smoothing over afterward. "Well... that just suits you entirely too well, if I'm allowed to say so." She winks at her date. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indie_minor 2010-12-19 03:26 am UTC (link)
	Pauline grins. "Thanks. Now. Let me put these drums down before my arms turn to yogurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-12-19 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"Sure thing, lemme give you a hand." Chris tosses her donation in one hand, showing it's lightness, before taking one of the drums from Pauline. "You ever been to one of these before? I know it's not exactly N.I.C.H.'s crowd." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I've gotten dragged to my share of them, and gone to enough of them of my own free will. They can be fun. For me it's usually an excuse for an exercise in more traditional dress-making." Chris smiles and gives a little twirl, letting her dress swish around her calves.

They deposit the gifts and then survey room. "So, where to? Food, drinks, dancing, or just cruising the room?" She smiles. "Or we can always just grab a pair of seats or some space on the wall."

	"Hmmm. Let's see what the next song is. I can waltz. Hell, I can gavotte. And most 20th century, I'm good, but there's a few things I couldn't possibly dance to, on principle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	... "...yeah I'm just gonna follow your lead." Chris grins awkwardly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indie_minor 2010-12-20 04:55 am UTC (link)
	And what comes up next is "Baby, it's Cold Outside." And Pauline puts her hand on Chris's shoulder and gets them out on the dance floor with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-12-20 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Chris smiles, tucking back some of her hair. "Okay, I'm a little more of a Lila Cheney girl than Dean Martin, but I can handle this just fine." She lets Pauline steal her out onto the dance floor, relaxing after a moment and putting her own hands in place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indie_minor 2010-12-20 05:06 am UTC (link)
	"Lila's classic," Pauline says as they get properly into the sway of things. "And she's got a guitarist she can really trust to draw the intro out when she's running backstage for stuff. Reminds me a little of me and Deej, 'cept nobody's as good as Deej, and I don't run out on him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Chris laughs. "Sounds like a good setup. I play acoustic, but it's really just a hobby. Only one decent song ever came out of it, if I'm allowed to call my own stuff decent. Making clothes and stuff is the big thing I'd love to do more with."

She's managing well with dancing to this song, anything too much more complex and she's going to have to keep glancing at her feet to keep them off of Pauline's.

Chris smiles, letting out a tiny muffled squeak and moving closer to Pauline as another dancer almost clips them. Her eyes briefly flicker to cat-like before she settles again.

"Be happy to play it for you. Be warned, it's a little sappy." A beat. "You're good at this, by the way. I wouldn't mind being educated a little further."

A somewhat longer pause. "Okay, without sounding like a creeper, is it alright if I take some photos of you tonight? Your color's just gorgeous and I don't have any of my swatches with me to compare." Chris is just itching to design something for her dance partner besides just accessories.

	pym_kitten 2010-12-20 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Chris enjoys the dancing until the song finishes up, as Rocking Around the Christmas Tree comes up. She smiles at the chance in pace, but lets Pauline continue to lead. "So what's the rest of your... well, I don't know if team is the right word, the rest of X-Factor like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
