I don't need new clothes. (Open)

[Silvia A. Carter]

The older female, Mara grinned and Silva felt relieved, so intensely so that she was back to her human form in 15 seconds.
"Why not? Besides, I bet we could really cause some real chaos on a girl's night out! Not that there is any place around here for one of those." Mara said and Lily also looked relieved
The brunette seventeen year old smiled gently and shrugged.
"Looks like I was so nervous you'd say no that when I felt the relief I changed back. Glad to be friends with you both. Now, what should we do first? Terrorize some guards or wait for Madam Weaver with Lily." Silvia laughed softly and Lily grinned.

"You were watching me weren't you?" Lily asked and Silvia nodded once.
"Of course, I couldn't let a guard beat you up for no reason could I?" Silvia joked and laughed as she remembered the guard's reaction to her.
"I-I have a gun!" Lily mimicked the guard that had run off and Silvia burst out laughing. Gosh, how long had it been since she'd laughed? A while at least, for it felt foreign to her. But change in this case was a good thing. A very good thing.

[Mara Ackart]

Mara put her finger to her lips and mimicked thinking very hard.

"To terrorize or to wait? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler to scare some guards witless, not that they had much wit to begin with, or to wait on the simple tailor."

Mara shrugged and spread her hands wide.

"Normally I'd be all for scaring us some guards but I have yet to see that silly weaver woman myself. Besides, we freak out too many guards and they'd probably set a whole regiment of them on us. We could probably take them but I just don't feel like doing that much exercise. What about you girls?"

[Silvia A. Carter]

Silvia laughed as Mara put her finger to her lips and faked thinking very hard.
"To terrorize or to wait? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler to scare some guards witless, not that they had much wit to begin with, or to wait on the simple tailor." Mara shrugged and spread her hands wide, Lily shrugged and Silvia smirked.

"So many tantalising possibilities...so little time to do them in." Silvia grinned and then Mara spoke again.
"Normally I'd be all for scaring us some guards but I have yet to see that silly weaver woman myself. Besides, we freak out too many guards and they'd probably set a whole regiment of them on us. We could probably take them but I just don't feel like doing that much exercise. What about you girls?" Mara said and the younger girls both nodded.

"Yeah, not much point in torturing others if they send in the cavalry. Anyway, here comes someone now." Lily mused casually and a woman in her fifties walked over to the door of the store or whatever it was.
"Ah, Fang...you're here. With friends I take it?" The woman asked in an amused tone and Silvia nodded.
"Yeah, it's one of the best things to happen in a while." Silva said to the woman and Lily elbowed her in the arm.

"Why does she know you?" Lily whispered and Silvia grinned.
"I've ripped so many shirts that she knows my measurements off by heart." Silvia laughed and Madam Weaver frowned lightly.
"The irony of it is that she's my best customer." The woman replied and opened the door wide to let them in.

[Mara Ackart]

After her little joke Mara stood back and watched Madam Weaver approach and interact with Silva and Lily. That observational streak of hers came out. She hung back a second before entering the shop.

"Why doesn't that surprise me at all?" Mara mused aloud.

Mara stood aside to let the others enter as she looked about the shop. This was honestly the one feminine activity she wasn't too keen on. She could shop just like any other but she got a bit iffy when it came to the clothing stores. She was much much happier in a book store.

[Silvia A. Carter]

"Why doesn't that surprise me at all?" Silva had heard Mara say before stepping aside and letting Lily and Silvia through the door first.
"I would still rather be buying books in a store right now." Silvia muttered before looking around the place. Madam Weaver's was a pretty interesting place and never looked the same twice.

"What can I do for you all?" Madam Weaver asked as sh faced them and Lily looked unsure.
"Um, I want replicas of my old clothes thanks Madam." Lily said and then Silvia shrugged.
"I already know what you want Fang, and you young lady?" Madam Weaver said to Mara and Lily smiled a little.
"I also want a black dress please." Silva said and Madam Weaver nodded once.

"To visit your mother in huh? Has her headstone been placed there yet?" Madam Weaver asked and Silvia nodded to both questions.
"Your mum's dead? That's so sad..." Lily whispered and Silvia shrugged.
"Comes with the territory I guess...but she was killed in my capture." Silvia said and Madam Weaver frowned.

"It wasn't a government opperative either, imagine that. Your own cousin that your mother raised from infanthood." Madam Weaver growled and Silvia twitched once at the mention of her cousin.

[Mara Ackart]

Mara sympathized completely with Silva the second the words were out of her mouth. Another book lover!

"You and me both Silva."

Mara looked over at Madam Weaver. What did she want? Well she supposed that it would be best to go with something like her normal wardrobe and then something a bit more battle oriented.

"Well, a v-neck and a pair of trousers would work nicely for me. Something flirty but functional. And something that would be good in a fight."

The woman listened to Silvia and Lily talk without comment. Especially so after Madam Weaver's comment. They were getting into personal territory and Mara never set foot there unless she desperately needed to know something.

[Silvia A. Carter]

"You and me both Silva." Mara said and Silvia grinned.
"So what kind of books do you like?" Silvia asked curiously and Lily looked over at them from being measured.
"I like the ones where there's a really stupid guy and a girl that likes him." Lily said in a casual tone and Silvia nodded.

"That's the 'romance' genre Lily...I like those and the futuristic ones myself, but not the alien ones. Alien ones are a waste of trees." Silvia said before looking through fabric colours, looking at Mara occasionally.
"Hey Mara what's your favourite colour?" She asked randomly before pointing to the range of colours on the shelf beside her.

[Mara Ackart]

Oh books, Mara could go on about them for hours but the girls would probably get tired of hearing it.

"I'll read just about anything but what I really love are epics. It doesn't matter if it's romance, fantasy, sci-fi, whatever. I adore stories where the characters and their actions rock the very foundations of the world that it's set in."

Of course Lily's comment about a stupid guy made her think of Sulley and she snickered. Even though he was attractive Sulley was by no means romance material. He was rude, mean, egotistical, and just plain difficult. Mara thought about Silvia's question.

"Well...I like dramatic colors. Like a black outfit with a sudden splash of red. Red would probably be my favorite if I had to choose just one. Or maybe orange."

"I'll read just about anything but what I really love are epics. It doesn't matter if it's romance, fantasy, sci-fi, whatever. I adore stories where the characters and their actions rock the very foundations of the world that it's set in." Mara said and both the younger girls knew she wanted to talk about books for a long time, but she didn't. The girls wouldn't have minded, really.

"Oh yeah, now we're talking! Epics are awesome!" Lily cheered and Madam Weaver scolded her for moving her arm while someone was measuring it.
"I could curl up with an epic any day too Mara!" Silvia laughed and then looked at Mara as she answered the favourite colour question.

"Well...I like dramatic colors. Like a black outfit with a sudden splash of red. Red would probably be my favorite if I had to choose just one. Or maybe orange." Mara said after some thought and Silvia looked at the patterned fabrics. One was black with a blood red crane on it.
"That fabric is for dresses if you want it, I've had it for ages." Madam said through a mouthful of pins and measuring tape.

"You like this one Mara? It's black with a red crane on it. See?" Silvia pointed at the roll of fabric with a smile.
"That would really suit you Mara! You'd knock 'em dead!" Lily said enthusiastically and was scolded for moving again.

[Mara Ackart]

It had to be dresses. Mara despised dresses. She just didn't like the feel of them and that dislike showed on her face.

"I don't really like dresses."

Still, the fabric was beautiful. The crane stood out fabulously. If she ever had a date it would be wonderful for that. Of course a date was out of the question with Sulley breathing down her neck. Mara began looking through the rest of the fabric, hoping the girls would drop the idea of her wearing that.
