Nothing Better than New Years in the Amazon

Harley was finishing her make-up for an invite only New Year's Eve get-together with Pamela and Amelia. She had decided to wear a retro flapper's dress for the occasion. Something that was thin enough that the humid heat of the Amazon wouldn't bother her (and was made of a material that was eco-friendly).

She had finished curling and styling up her hair. And was just putting on some lipstick and eyeshadow while she waited for Amelia to arrive at her place.

Dressed in a very stylish dress of her own, Amelia's feeling a bit out of her element with so much skin exposed. With all the scars on her forearms clearly visible, this is far from her first choice of outfit for the evening. But this is a night with Harley and Red, two women she trusts more than enough to be a little more open with. They've both seen her during and after a battle; What's a little show of her past mistakes between friends?

Amelia checks that her hair is properly secured with her hairpin as she steps up to the door, then gives it a good knock. "Harley?" she calls in an excited tone. "Are you ready for me?"

"Hello, Red. It's wonderful to see you." Amelia smiles brightly as she follows close behind Harley. As she approaches Ivy, her cheeks flush a light pink and she removes a small bag of seeds from the dress-matching clutch she's carrying. "I know it's not much, but I wasn't sure if you had anything like this here. They're avens seeds, a whole variety of colors if the person I bought them from is correct. I brought them as a small gift to brighten your gardens."
rogueinladysclothing: (Incredulous Smile)

"Oh! Thank you." Amelia takes the bottle and throws it back quickly. Countering the adverse effects of Red's presence before they run into trouble is a very good idea.

Harley's comment earns a soft laugh. "I gifted someone else seeds for Yule, so it made finding something for Red a little easier. Choosing the right seeds was a little more difficult, but I thought something bright was fitting."
rogueinladysclothing: (Curious)

Walking through Red's garden is a delight for Amelia. There are so many plants she's never seen before, and they're all healthy in ways that defy any normal growing seasons or traditions. Some of these plants may be deadly, but the rogue feels at ease as she takes in the sights around her, a curious smile on her face.

Charlie is quite the spectacle all on his own. Amelia tilts her head slightly to one side as she regards the plant, her smile widening a bit. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Charlie," she says to the plant. "Thank you for protecting Red's home. You seem to be doing a very good job if the garden's flourishing the way it is."
rogueinladysclothing: (Hopeful)

Amelia chuckles at Harley's antics and then turns her attention to Red. "They're in the same plant family as roses, but are supposed to be very hearty flowers. If you have a small area where they can get plenty of sun and won't get overcrowded by taller plants, I think that would work best." She smiles warmly at Ivy. "I'd offer to help plant them, but I think my tailor might kill me if I told him I dirtied his latest creation in any way. I'd be happy to come back another day in proper attire, though."
rogueinladysclothing: (Self-Deprecating)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-01 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Amelia's cautious about the touch, but doesn't shy away from it. She's been around the other woman enough now that small touches like this are worth getting used to. She won't be returning the gesture in kind any time soon, but accepting it is something she's warming up to.

"I do all right on my own, but the tailor Harley and I share makes up for my gaps in knowledge or desire to be more fashionable." Which is helpful for outings like this when she wants to dress up nicely but needs a cooler ensemble than she would normally choose. Alex does love dressing his favorite ladies in beautiful clothes!

"Hot springs?" For a moment Amelia's confused - hot springs are very rare on her world - before she remembers they're most often used for bathing. Her cheeks flush a bright pink as the thought settles in. "I-I'm not sure I could. Bathing is a very solitary thing for me. I'm sure you wouldn't really want me to join you for that."

It hasn't occurred to her yet that the invitation is a form of flirting. It's simply an invitation from a friend to see a part of her vast home. Nothing more, really.
rogueinladysclothing: (Happy Smile)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-03 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"But we can still talk with each other while we enjoy the hot springs?" Amelia's smile is curious and a touch excited. An outing like that does sound enjoyable, though she might still insist on a bathing suit or some sort of covering anyway.

"I had no idea you had a house up in a tree." The rogue turns her smile to Red. "I'm excited to see it. Please, whenever you're ready, lead the way."
rogueinladysclothing: (No Way!)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-10 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Amelia doesn't quite have enough time to offer excitement about the future hot springs trip when Pamela's house come into view. The rogue's eyes widen as she looks up the length of the tree, her jaw slackening a little as she takes in all of the details. She's never seen anything even remotely like this before and it takes her a moment to recover from the shock.

"This is incredible. You made this?" She turns to Red with a bright smile on her face before turning her attention back to the house. "It's as much a part of nature as all of your garden patches."
rogueinladysclothing: (Sassy)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-10 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you inviting me over for the night?" Amelia teases playfully. She throws a wink at Red as the follows the two women inside. "I'd be glad to stay a little longer. Time with friends is better than spending time on my own. Either way, I appreciate the offer. Should I ever need an escape from my daily routine for a few days, I'll let you know."
rogueinladysclothing: (Curious)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-11 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
"There's been plenty of that recently." Damn Blaze and her secrecy around what was going on with Steve. Amelia exhales a small sigh and pushes the thought from her head as she walks along with Red. Best not to focus on what's bothering her when she's here to have a lovely evening with her friends.

As they enter the dining area, the rogue smiles as she looks over all the dishes set out on the table. "A small feast to start us off?" she asks, curious. "What other plans do you have for us tonight?"
rogueinladysclothing: (Center of Attention)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-11 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Amelia's head tilts to one side as she takes a seat at the table. "Is the moss ball significant in some way? A tradition?" She's never spent New Year's Eve in a place that celebrated with a ball drop before, so this is a new concept for her. Strange as the idea of a moss ball being traditional is, she's curious as ever to learn about new culture things from her friends.

She laughs softly as she watches Harley. "I suspect whatever's inside won't last until Midnight if Harley has any say about it. You know you can't tell her there's a surprise waiting and then keep it from her," she chides teasingly.
rogueinladysclothing: (Subtle Grin)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"They just... watch it?" What an odd tradition. She wonders what the significance of it could be, but doesn't press. People of Earth do a lot of things she simply doesn't understand.

A bright, silvery laugh falls from lips. "I'm glad I didn't bring any weapons to make it easier, then. We can't let her have it too easily." The rogue grins at Harley for a moment and then turns her attention to the fruits and vegetables in front of her. She moves her fingers through the air above the collection for a moment before carefully reaching in and pulling out a peach for herself.

"There's no rules against making it more difficult for her, is there?" she asks, turning a mischievous grin to Red. "If there is... could we break it?"
rogueinladysclothing: (Don't Laugh)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2021-01-11 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Still an odd tradition, but Amelia won't begrudge them that. If everyone is enjoying themselves while they watch 'a giant sparkly ball' drop, then she has no reason to interject herself into the situation.

She stifles a laugh behind her hand before taking a bite of her peach. With Red on her side, this is going to be a lot of fun. "It looks like it's lowered itself a little since I first saw it," she notes with a feigned seriousness. "Can you raise it a bit back to its correct level?"
