Antigravity has posed:
    "No... no.... no... ugh. Heck No."

    Rosie McGowan, her blonde hair put experimentally into foam curlers after showering, wearing a pink T-shirt with green plaid overshirt, left open of course, and a pair of jeans, was sitting, barefoot, on the floor in Jeremy and Gray's room.

    "How come all'a these dresses are like, the worst thing ever? This one looks like it should be itchy!" she protests, and then siiiiighs, leaning her head back.

    "Ah take it back, not goin' ta prom. Too complicated."

SpyderByte has posed:
<< Huh? What do you mean, itchy? >>

Jeremy leans over the top of the bed to peer down over at her. He cants his head to one side.

<< Prom isn't for another month. We have plenty of time. You don't need to have an over the top dress. Even a simple one is fine. I am just going to rent a tuxedo. It's going to be a black one with a black tie. What colors do you like? >>

Antigravity has posed:
    "Ah don't even know what I like --" Rosie protests, looking up at Jeremy. She gives a huff..

    "Look, proms where I'm from? they're not real.. y'know. They're not fancy. My class only has 'bout eighty kids in it. My mama told me I could never afford a dress, so I jus' didn't go. 'Sides. I smelled like pigcrap all the time back then, from workin' in the barn." she frowns, and then pauses to sniff her shirt to make sure she doesn't STILL reek of pig.

SpyderByte has posed:
<< Prom doesn't have to be fancy here either. You don't need an expensive dress, or something so silly. Just pick out something that you know you would feel comfortable in, and something you would love. That's all. >>

Jeremy slides down next to her on the floor, then leans into her as he gives a smile to the girl. His arm curls about her waist for a squeeze.

<< Gray and I will both be out of our element in a tuxedo and I am sure I will have to convince him to go and wear one. >>

Antigravity has posed:
    "Dunno, I think you'd look good in this --" Rosie suggests, sending an image to Jeremy, and as he slides down next to her, she gives a smile and leans against him lightly.

    "Ah still dunno why we can't just skip an' stay here. There's like, four more Star Wars serieses that Ah haven't seen yet." she states with a small grin.

SpyderByte has posed:
Jeremy Statton looks over at the picture of the black and red tuxedo and hums to himself. He smiles.

<< I like this. You would have to find something to match though. Maybe Gray will like it also. Do you think you'd wear a red dress? >>

He starts to filter through his phone quickly at numerous dress images. He finds one and sends it to her phone with a blink of his eyes.

Antigravity has posed:
    Rosie pulls the dress up, and she gives a slight smile. "I like the skirt but... I think I need something a bit more high-cut." she blushes, and rubs at her shoulder a moment, near where some of those switch scars still string.

    "... maybe... like... this one?" she trails off, and then shows Jeremy one of the dresses.

    It's... buffalo check plaid. Red and black. It looks like a flannel shirt and a nightgown had a baby.

SpyderByte has posed:
<< If you would be happy with that, I would be happy with it. As long as you're comfortable >>

Jeremy is nothing but supportive tonight it seems. He gives her another squeeze about the waist with his arm around her, then props his chin on her shoulder.

<< It's at Club Evo so it will be fun. Everyone will be acting goofy dancing and taking pictures. It's just a night to hang out. I really want to go so I can have at least one happy high school memory. >>

Antigravity has posed:
    "... you've gotta have more than one by now." Rosie replies to Jer as she reaches up to run her fingertips through his hair, giving a rise of her eyebrows.

    "After all, y'all got me here, don't you?"

SpyderByte has posed:
Giving her a bashful smile, Jeremy shrugs his shoulders upwards.

<< Yes, I have many friends now this year, where the last three years has been a prison for me. I want Prom to be the stamp on my senior year. Where I feel like a normal boy for a change. Not a mutant, not a victim. Just a normal boy. >>
