[closed] one perfect day

Who: Maria and Barry
When: July 19th
Where: Various fashion/beauty shops in Dublin.
What: Prayer #47, making someone stand out for their school formal.

[It's an odd prayer for Maria to receive given her role here - a request from a private school student who wanted to look her best for her months-away debutante. But she had sounded desperate to have this one last chance to shine, and Maria can't help but take pity on such a sincere and innocent request. Organising something perfect to be executed on the night when it comes is more than within Maria's means, after all.

Given Barry is another resident expert on making people shine, she's brought him along for this one, as well as the student herself, who had seemed quite excited at the prospect of being invited out to explore the possibilities. Maria watches her study the dresses in the nearby shop windows with a rather fond smile before turning her gaze to Barry and giving it a more serious edge.]


Alright, this will be her last chance to shine to the people who know her, and we have to set it up perfectly so she can debut the look when the dance comes in a few months. Where do you suggest we start? I have my eye on a few shops already.

Good! That's what I like to hear.

[Confidence is half the battle, really.]

Sure, just lemme know.

I'll be right here!

[Probably watching magical girl videos on his phone by the time they come out.]

[Good timing. The episode is just ending, and Barry is singing along loudly to the closing credits when the girls come back out of the changing room. Barry looks up from his phone, whistling and giving a thumbs up as the girl spins.]

Definitely! You look like a fairy queen already!

[Barry hums, nodding along with each of them as he looks the outfit up and down with a critical eye.]

Yeah, I agree. I like the flower-lookin' stuff, but I think we really wanna go more toward green with this. Keeps the overall look tighter.

[Barry lets out an appreciative whistle, nodding back at the girl.]

Lookin' good! You can really tell it's one the ones you chose - you're practically glowin'! A big smile and lots of confidence is important, so if that dress makes you feel confident, I'd say it belongs on the yes pile too.

[Even Barry's eyes go a little wide at that, and he shakes his hands as he folds his arms.]

Yeah... I bet the school'd have a fit if ya walked in wearin' that.

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-06-23 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that's more like it. It's like the last one, but classier. Looks like it'd be pretty easy to move around in, too.

[Because clearly she needs to dance the night away at this thing, otherwise what's the point.]

Big 'yes' from me too!
very_goodman: (arms folded)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-06-25 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you said it. Real queenly. Good for sittin' around and lookin' elegant, but probably not so much for movin' around in.

[Barry's not entirely convinced this would be a good choice.]

I dunno. This one's up to you, kid.

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-06-28 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Good idea. No sense takin' half measures at this point - not when you've already got some real knockout choices on the pile.

[Barry nods to the girls.]

Sounds good to me. Keep 'em comin'!

Looks a little more snow queen than forest queen under this light, but I like it too.

[He's a fan of the more vibrant colors.]
very_goodman: (belly laugh)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-07-01 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you could go a lotta different ways with that. It's almost like a blank canvas.

[Barry shrugs, shooting a smile in Maria's direction.]

That's really more your thing, though.
very_goodman: (Default)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-07-04 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Barry nods approvingly, punctuating the reaction with enthusiastic clapping.]

That's Maria for ya! I knew you'd come up with somethin' nice.
