Girls only! (And a sleepover/tea time RP kind of thing?)

Vapor checks to make sure no one is looking and bolts for the door.

The Fox sees movement out of the corner of her eye (foxes are very wary of movement), and tackles Vapor as she tries to get away. "No one escapes..." The Fox whispers into Vapor's ear before righting herself. "Plus, I brought board games!" The Fox stood up and asked in a loud voice "who's up for some Hanabi?"

[Vapor she/her]

"Nooooo!" Vapor screams as she kicks at the air.

Also @Spren of Kindness you should check out the Ledgend of Eli Monpress.

No, "it's" is correct. The contraction gets an apostrophe, the possessive doesn't.

Edit: Oops, I was looking at the wrong it's. You're right, don't mind me.

The second "it's" is possessive.

This one should be its.

Yes, I missed that one. I decline my head, indicating that I recognize you as the alpha grammarian.

I just breathed a sigh of relief. "It's" vs "its" is the hardest part of grammar for me, but I was pretty sure that I was right.

Story kinda? related to sleep.

This morning I woke up to two of my choir classmates in my room and I was very confused (especially considering school, and therefore choir, hasn't started yet). anyways they took me to a choir breakfast and it was good. But apparently my mom just let them come into my room and wake me up like thanks mom I really wanted them to see my embarrassingly pink room (it hasn't changed since I was 6 ok). Also I was super delirious when I first saw them because I just woke up so I thought they were people from my ward and I was annoyed because I don't like the people in my ward.

My room's been pink since I was like 6, too! And I'm in choir and we do stuff kind of like that, but we weren't able to this year because of corona.

Sorana is a little disappointed that she missed the discussion about sewing.

Smiling she watches the others pick out some cloths and starts to look through some dresses herself.

"Anybody else here never wearing pants, apart from me?" she asks and hold up a nice red skirt.

"ME! Skirts and dresses are just SO cute!"

On 8/5/2020 at 2:13 AM, DramaQueen said:

"Oooh, yes, please!!! Something pale blue and gray for the dress... Oh! I love this one!" Queenie heads straight towards a light, flowy, almost prom-like dress, a light blue bodice and gray skirt, the pockets hidden neatly in the folds of the dress. When she held it up against herself, the skirt went down to mid-calf. "It's super loose, soft, and a really comfy material, but it looks fancy enough to be a wedding dress!"

 

"Oh, my goodness, that one suits you so well! I want to see you in it! Go on, there's a changing screen over there!"

The Fox realizes the thing that this party needs most, some hot tea! She dashes out the door to grab some things from her house (foxes are very fast), and returns with a box of mason jars filled with loose leaf tea, some tea strainers, and a lot of glass tea dishes, as well as table cloths, scones, jam, Devanshire Cream, tea cookies, small sandwiches, a pile of good books, and lots of board games. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha! This is my domain, I have the power now! The Fox thinks as she places the boxes on the ground. She pulls out a table cloth, and places it on a large table. Then she begins arranging the items with precision.

I think it's spelled Devonshire cream.

But The Fox gets ahead of her and stands in front of the door. "Look," she says lowering her voice to talk with Vapor without the prying ears of others. "You may leave this sleepover if you want, however first, please hear me out. The reason I initially said there is no escape is not because I won't let you leave this party, but simply because there will never be escape from people who seem different from you. Many people make the mistake of distancing themselves from people who appear different, without ever taking the time to consider their person. Preferences do not define a person, they are fleeting and constantly evolving. Instead of dwelling on the differences, focus on the similarities.

"I personally hate that feeling of restriction and vulnerability in dresses. Like I can't bend over, run, or fight if I need to. I eventually was able to find dresses to wear that were easy to move in, and were comfy. If you think about it, my preference against dresses root from my values. I value feeling safe and in control over almost everything else, therefore when I wear low cut or tight dresses, it makes me feel vulnerable, and I hate it. I was able to match my values with their preferences, finding common ground, and therefore making a connection with all people who like dresses (otherwise I would just wear hiking pants all the time). What do you value, how does it effect your preferences, and how can you find common ground? You don't have to tell me your values, just think about how your values can match at least some of their preferences. Assuming you don't just leave when I finish talking, answer me this, what don't you like about dresses?"

If you are not completely confused at this point, good job! You have completely a feat that few have accomplished. And this is why I have no friends. If you are completely confused, just give me a confused look and leave, I will not be offended.

Same. I don't wear tight dresses because I run. I do like wearing them because they look pretty.

That made sense to me.

Sorana nodds at this. "I don't wear tight dresses too." She agrees. "But you know, I only wear dresses because of the freedom they allow me. Or skirts. They are comfortable, not tight around my legs. I can move, run, sit down any way I want to. Especially in summer most of my cloths nearly reach the floor and it's awesome. Pants always feel so restrictive. I know it's different for everybody, but it's the type of clothing I'm the most comfortable in."

Hesitating she considers her next words. "See I studied engineering and I had a few profs who weren't that amused by the handful of women in their class. I used to wear cargo pants with a shirt of some sort, but that changed. Because I kind of wanted to show them, that I can be a woman and be good at engineering, too. My clothing always expressed my feelings, so I buy lots of natural fabrics, make sure it's as fair produced as possible - when I don't make it myself. But it's also female, comfortable, bright, well within borders as I have to be able to wear to work, too."

She looks at Fox directly "what I try to say is, wear whatever you want. Wear what fits your values and never let yourself be pushed into a frame, a picture that's not you. And there's no reason to leave, just because you do that."
