Where you want to be

[Turkey-san]

Alex actually kinda likes walking around Lower New York once in a while. Was that so hard to believe? It was good to, for once, not be surrounded in people with their noses in the air.
It was Dani, not her, who was scared of coming here. her older sister had warned her about sleazy guys hanging around bars and had told her to at least wear something that wasn't form fitting or created an hourglass appearance that she didn't have, but Alex did her own thing anyway. It was her body, she could protect herself, and besides, she could deliver a killer kick to the crotch if she needed to.
Alex stopped in front of a store. In the window it showed a nice, simple, grey dress and a blue pair of shoes. Clean, classy, form fitting, not too girly. She wondered if they had it in her size.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

"Nice dress, isn't it?" a voice from behind Alex said. Jessica Matthews walked up beside her, smiling a bit at the girl beside her, taking a look at the dress. Jessica had just finished work at the Roxy, hence her rosey red lipstick she was wearing, and her dark, yet classy eye makeup.

She had on a black coat of her own to cover her corset and fishnet sparkly costume she'd worn that night, a simply pair of black heels on her feet, and her brown curls hanging loosely over her shoulders.

"Yeah. And the heels add a splash of color. It's be nicer with a matching belt." Alex said. Well well, someone here was more dressed up than she. The fishnets made her wonder if the girl worked at the Roxy of just dressed like she did. Alex herself had no respect for people like that who did. Dani on the other hand couldn't care less.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

Jessica laughed lightly "True, but not many people down here can afford a matching belt." she looked at her slightly, a light smile on her lips. "You're from up there." she said to her. It wasn't a question, it was more of a knowing statement. She could tell who was from where, and the matching belt statement just added to her assumption.

[Turkey-san]

"Yes, I am." Alex said. "But for some reason I find it more soothing down here. Plus spending so much time up there can make a person forget what the world really is like. My sister, for example." she said with a sigh.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

Jessica nodded "Probably true." she replied, looking at Alex. "I'm Jessica." she said to her, giving her a small, but friendly smile.

[Turkey-san]

"I'm Alexis, but call me Alex." she said. She turned back to look at the dress. Boy, her sister would be angry if she found out Alex was strolling around Lower New York, especially if she actually bought something there. Then again, all the more reason, right? Besides, Dani might be older, but she wasn't her mother.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

Jessica nodded at her, looking back at the dress. "It would suit you." she said to her.

[Turkey-san]

"Thanks." Alex said with a small smile. "I think I'm going to buy it. Hopefully they'll have the shoes in my size." Alex has small feet and always had to get shoes a size bigger.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

Jessica smiled at her, nodding "I'm sure they will."

[Turkey-san]

Alex walked into the store and walked up to the woman who worked there. They spoke for a while. Apparently the dress in the display was the last one, and it was her size too. They also had a pair of the shoes in the back room her size, but first she wanted to try the dress on. She followed the lady to the window where she removed the dress from the manniquen and put it on a hanger before handing it to Alex. Alex gave Jessica a small smile and went to the dressing room to try it on.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

Jessica returned the smile, watching Alex go try the dress on.

[Turkey-san]

Alex emerged again wearing the dress. She looked into the mirror and turned this way and that, moving around in it to make sure it was comfertable and looked nice. She smiled. She really liked it. Sure it wasn't as fancy as the other stuff she had, but did everything she owned have to be expensive? After all, she rather liked this dress already.

[.::.KiKi.::.]

Jessica smiled softly, watching this girl she hardly knew try on the dress. It suited her, it looked nice. No doubt she'd buy it.

[Turkey-san]

Alex smiled. She was definately going to buy it. She turned to the woman who worked there and asked about the shoes. The woman went into the back and after some time, returned with a box. Alex sat down on one of the stools and opened the box before slipping each shoe onto her small feet. She stood and walked around the store, testing them to see how comfortable they were. After returning to the stool, she changed back into her plain black heels and returned to the dressing room to change into her red dress. She brought the dress and shoes to the counter and bought them.
