[Mingle]

[randomly_modding]

[So you're in the studio and the camera crew has instructed your characters to break into your teams to discuss 1) the client's personal fashion comfort zone and preferences, and 2) how to give them the Stylecation makeover they obviously need, while 3) working in the episode theme of "animal".]

[Or that's what you're supposed to be talking about, to obey the host.]

[Please don't mind the cameras focused on you at all times, even following you to the snack table to grab coffee and danishes and donuts. But feel free to crash one of the other team mingles!]

[she has apparently been volunteered for a "makeover". there's just one problem. Sif folds her arms over her chest and looks around at the others, her expression a bit shuttered]

...What is a "makeover"?

[she has the feeling she's not going to like the answer]

[ijustlovethat]

[just leave it to Effie!!]

It's when a whole team of people work together to make you look your very best!!!

[actlikealady]

[a beat, and then, tilting her head] And a whole team of people is needed for that? I have dressed myself for formal celebrations for years beyond counting. [more or less literally]

[ijustlovethat]

Oh, but Sif, this is for so many more people to see you. Why, the entire country will be watching!

[she's serious but grinning because this is what she has trained for and done pretty much her whole life!! she's useful again!!

Don't worry about a thing! I'll make sure everything goes smoothly!

[actlikealady]

[the entire country?] [it's not her country, she reminds herself. if she doesn't care what Asgard thinks of her, she certainly doesn't care what this random place on Midgard thinks of her]

If you're sure. I suppose it's -- technically what you do, isn't it? [here, you can have a smile]

[ijustlovethat]

[beaming!!] Yes, it is! Except for how ..bland the fashions here appear to be.

But you'll look lovely no matter what, I'm sure! You have a face that audiences will love! [seriously, Sif. you may as well be a Career!]

[cleanedslate]

Before I answer, can I get it in writing that you won't hurt me?

[actlikealady]

[promptly, folding her arms] For answering the question, I'll make you that vow. But if I don't like the answer, I suggest you get behind me. [because someone is going to get hurt]

[cleanedslate]

Good enough.

[ he makes a fist and slaps it into his palm, thinking of the best way to say it, and then instead of using those words he uses these: ]

It's this thing where you suck, so a bunch of people get together and make you into a better person.

[cocooned]

Eh... I'm still trying to figure out what the point of all this is.

[They're not allowed to go home, yet?]

But... a makeover is when you get a brand new 'style' that is meant to make you look your very best.

[She glances around at her team...]

Whether that actually gets accomplished or not, though...

[actlikealady]

New style? You mean a new -- way of doing my hair? [she lifts a hand to touch it, a little self-consciously. is something wrong with her hair]

[cocooned]

That's right. It can be anything from hair, to make up, to clothing style.

[She rubs the back of her neck]

It's all a little overrated I think.
