If anything is even a single shade off of what would look good for you, it'll totally look gaudy and it will stand out. Like using foundation that's lighter than your actual skin color. You'll look like a total clown!
[Maggie makes a face the moment the word clown comes out of her mouth.]
[But there is always the slight wonder of what is next after clowns. Ghk. Maybe it's best not to think about the future. Not like she does that anyways. Consequence? What's that? Some kind of cheese?
Maggie holds up the shades of red that she had picked up. There doesn't look to be much of a difference between them. But let Maggie tell it, they are completely different shades entirely.]
Now, which one. Cherry Blast? Crimson Masquerade? Completely leaving it up to Judge Magnolia Lacivi?
[She looked at them, curious. Wow, there were a few of them. But the shades definitely all looked very bright. Pointing at the crimson one, she glanced over at Maggie.]
I think maybe something a little darker, to match my hair?
[She followed her with a little giggle and settled in the spot opposite her while offering her hand to Maggie, winking.] You say that with such force. I could almost imagine you were telling me to give you my hand if I want to escape some monster.
[She laughed softly.] You, my dear, should never be accused of going for the basic. You've always had a very colorful style to you, after all. I think it works for you perfectly too.
[Ah, compliments. The one true way to work your way up higher on Maggie's friend list. Not that Vira wasn't already high ranking, of course.]
Of course! I'm practically a princesses. Or, well, that's what I told Fern.
[She pauses for a second before she resumes painting Vira's nails.]
Do you know Fern? It's all grass. Hard to miss him. But he actually thinks I'm a princess. I sort of feel bad for keeping the lie going this long but also not? It's nice to be treated like the royalty I know I am!
Mmmm, I do know him quite well. Don't take advantage of that, and I don't think it's too bad. I am pretty sure that boy actually needs a princess to protect pretty badly, and he seems like the perfect age if you don't mind a cute leaf boy. I definitely know he'll treat you like royalty.
I dunno. I don't really think I could see me dating Fern. Like, he's cute but in a puppy kind of way. Not in a prince charming kind of way.
[Wow, that sounds kind of bad saying it out loud.]
But he's still nice and stuff! Besides, I have my eyes on a guy. [Well...] Uh...well, guys? I'm keeping my options open until at least one of them takes me on a date and proves that he wants to date me for real. I could always just ask Tuls, he's a demon that I'm in a pact with by the way, to make me one of those love flowers again. But the thing is that I haven't been able to contact him at all since coming to this place. It sucks so I actually have to put effort into the guys who are more oblivious than usual.
[A big ol' sigh from Maggie. Woe is her. Life is so tiring sometimes.]
That's not entirely inaccurate, though I still think you could give him a chance if the opportunity comes along. [She held her hands steady for the girl while they talked, smiling over at her.]
And who is to say that the guy you date here needs to be the one you give your heart to forever? We're allowed to date casually, so when you go back to this demon perhaps it will work out, mmmm?
... me? [She blinked and her cheeks heated.] I was a little interested in a man, but I'm fairly sure he's not interested in anyone. There was also a girl... but she's gone now, so I'm sort of between?
[Oh, she loves the way Vira thinks. Casual dating sounds like a dream. But there's always this part of her that wants to meet her prince charming ASAP. Which hasn't been working out so far! But, then again, she tends to get bored of certain boys easily. The life of Maggie Lacivi is a tragic one. And an odd one.
But forget that! She wants more info on Vira's love life!]
Ooooh! Vira Vira Vira! You have got to spill everything! I want to hear what you like about this! Who was the girl? Who is this guy? Why do you like him? Why did you like her? And who will you give your heart to?! [She is too excited for this.]
[She chuckled while one hand was busy, reaching back and barely getting her scrapbook without jostling the process. Setting it down on the couch next to them, she flipped through it until she ran across one of the recent pictures she'd run across in the carnival booths of Hana Song, another one of the two of them taking a selfie that she didn't remember taking at all. Showing it to Maggie, she sighed and shook her head.]
Her name is Hana Song. I don't... remember any of our time together, but I've seen hints that we were close and intimate for a while at least, so I'd like to think she was a fun loving sort...
As for the man? Do you promise not to judge my terrible tastes in men, apparently? [She was being a little serious here, Maggie. This was Reaper after all.]
[Maggie looks at the picture of the other woman. She was very good looking. One couple aesthetics alone, her and Vira would have definitely been the power couple of Deerington and that is a fact. Though, then again, she is a bit biased since she is friends with Vira. But she is also an expert in love (kind of) and those two gave off lovely vibes. It sucks that Vira can't remember their time together, though. It's so not fair!]
Oh nooo, I won't at all! I'm not some kind of monster. Your type is your type, Vira! [She leans in a bit closer.] Come ooonn. Tell me tell me tell meeeeee!
Well, honestly... I was a little curious about Reaper. I have been since we met, though... he's usually quite the gruff asshole, so I begin to wonder about my tastes.
[A little judging was probably forgivable. It was reaper after all.]
[That would be painfully hilarious given how nearly impossible to get that cold, taciturn facade of his to drop barring some event.]
You're looking for an angry old man in a trench coat who's always wearing a skull mask and who seems to have trails of smoke whipping about him as he brandishes a pair of shotguns. Quite the mysterious sort.

Come on. Give me your hand! I got this.

I'm an expert in these things. Don't worry about it! I can be perfectly subtle.
