[Penny needs help. She wants a date and she can't for the life of her seem to find one, so she does the only sensible thing.
She phones a friend.
And this is where the network device clicks on. The scene: Lucy's place. The players: Penny, dressed in her usual less-than-flattering cardigan, and Lucy, looking just as amazing as always. They look like they're on the verge of a musical montage.]
Is it seriously as easy as wearing different clothes?
[ Clearly a make-over was the obvious solution. Lucy had invited Penny over, made piña coladas in the blender, and put on some pop dance music. Lucy takes a sip of her piña colada and shrugs in response to Penny's question. ]
Different clothes, different shoes and some make-up. Yeah. It's really that easy. Even smart boys are powerless in the face of a short skirt and a pair of heels.
[ Yes, that was a reference to her own genius boyfriend. Sorry. It's true. Lucy grabs a handful of dresses and shoves them at Penny. ]
Go try one on then come out and let me see.
[ Cue the appropriate music for a montage! ]
No wonder I can't get a date. I always thought guys looked for, like... a nice smile, or a good personality.
[She takes the dresses and, yes, there's actually a montage. It's the City. Things like this happen sometimes. Penny comes out in a couple of dresses that are so-so before finding the winner. She tugs on the hem uncomfortably.]
I don't look skanky, do I?
[ There is appropriate gasping at the final choice. ]
Penny, you are a hottie. There is no skank here.
[ Lucy retrieves a pair of black high, high heels to go with the dress and steers her toward the vanity to put makeup on her. ]
They're going to drool on your feet. Boys that is. Maybe a couple of girls.
[Penny is no stranger to high heels, but there are high.]
There's no way that'll happen. I'm not a people-drooling-at-my-feet kind of person.
[It doesn't take Lucy long to do Penny's hair and makeup thanks to the power of makeover music. It's amazing what mascara and a curling iron will do. Penny takes a moment to study Lucy's work in the mirror.]
That's... different. I can hardly tell it's me. [But she smiles, kind of liking what she sees.] There's got to be a part two to this finding a date thing. Do we go out? Where do we go? What do I do?
[ Lucy is obviously pleased with her work. ]
We go out. We have drinks. We kiss each other for free drinks. We dance. You underestimate your hotness. There could be drooling.
That really works? The kissing thing?
[ That makes Lucy laugh. ]
Like a charm. [ She holds her hand out to Penny ] Come on. We'll kiss. We'll drink. I'll show you.
[The feed (intentional or not, who knows!) ends. Penny and Lucy can be found at any semi-reputable bar your character might care to find them at. Yes, there will be drinking and dancing and kissing. After all, Lucy is showing Penny how to woo.]
[ooc: Penny, Lucy. Bump into one or both of them wherever, comment, whatever!]
