entranceway | Second Shot; anon;

[if wynonna had any close friends here yet she might ask them but she doesn't so she's going to try that anon thing she's seen other people do and try to play it cool.

she'll probably fail and it'd be pretty easy to figure her out if you've talked to her and/or her boyfriend who is actually doc holliday enough]

so. say you're dating someone who is kinda famous. like there's books written about them. and say you know something like their birthday from those books and not them. do you do something?

and if you do like what's the appropriate gesture here? cause i'm kinda at a loss.

[has she ever celebrated the birthday of someone she's "dated" before? her own birthday last year was....pretty bad between curtis dying and the curse triggering and waverly shooting at her so it's not even like she has a frame of reference to work on]

i mean maybe they never told me because they don't want to celebrate. but what if they're hurt they figured out i knew and didn't say anything?

i'm really shitty at this.

[being anonymous? being a girlfriend? not being obvious? a little of all three?

it's anyone's guess, but that's it, that's the post.

ooc: if you think your character could figure out who wrote this and/or who this is about and would call them on it, feel free to do so.]

It's happened in that order once or twice. [the first time they screwed had been right after she killed a couple of revenants -- some of the more sympathetic ones too. these things happen in their line of work.]

It sounds a little dangerous. And exciting.

It can be, even if sometimes it's probably a little foolish.

[they made out a lot in the zombie outbreak in alexanderia when they probably should not have been.]

( helena got a reputation for sleeping with half of london. who's she to judge? )

Isn't that what they say love is?

Whoah whoah whoah who said anything about love?

[wynonna, pls, the man is clearly head over heels for you and you are literally the only person who doesn't see it.]

( absolutely not helena. the only person she'll ever admit to having loved is her daughter )

Well I don't exactly have a reference. ( and in a more serious remark: ) You could just celebrate with sex.

( ... helena )

[wynonna has no idea she has a daughter in the future, which is perhaps for the best. as is the only person she really openly talks about loving is her little sister, waverly.]

Well, I kinda assumed that would be in there somewhere, it's what we tend to do most.

You mean you're supposed to celebrate with more than just sex?

( oh how times have changed. not that she's had such thrilling birthday celebrations herself )

Honestly? I have no clue what you're supposed to do.

[when was the last time she had someone she gave shits about enough to want to celebrate?? she honestly doesn't know.]

Maybe I can do something so it's not just regular sex...like dress up or something.

Dress up?

( what? the future was weird. hopefully it didn't take away from the actual act. her mind is definitely not on the sexy lingerie kind of dressing up )

Isn't that a little over planning? What exactly does it add?

Familiarity? I know the way we dress now trips him up sometimes, I thought maybe something closer to what he was used to might be nice. My clothes made him think I was a prostitute at first.

( helena would be laughing if the situation weren't so familiar. okay, maybe she's laughing a little bit )

And what is he used to?

More old timey stuff -- think the American Wild West. [like literally because doc definitely was involved with the ok corral]

( the nineteenth century? well that just cheered her day up a little. she's going to have to find out who this man is. after the important stuff )

Well, I don't know if this would interest you-- ( that's a lie. she knows it will ) --but I happened to know a few things about that time. Including their 'old timey' attire.

( highly fashionable, thank you wynonna )

You do? That'd be really helpful.

[because she knows more than the average person might, given her family's history, but there's still a lot about that time period that makes her go ???? ]

It might be something to show you, though. If you want accuracy.

( who knows what describing it would cause wynonna to come out with )

We could meet up somewhere if you wanted to show me.

( have a room number. it's not helena's room, just an empty one )

Does that work?

It does.

[and it's not long until wynonna makes her way to the room she was given, knocking on the door.]

( the room's empty when helena opens the door, with the purpose of it being to show wynonna things from the closet rather than actually use the room )

How detailed do you want this to be?

[wynonna shrugs her shoulders a little as she makes her way in -- clearly not the woman's actual room but that's probably smart. shouldn't be giving out that information to strangers and all that.]

I dunno, detailed enough, I guess.

( there's a nod, and helena brings her hands together as she thinks for a moment. she doesn't know how the americans would have dressed though she suspects it wouldn't be too far removed from her own past experiences )

I'm not considering a colour, just a style.

( she trusted wynonna to figure that much out herself, she was just giving her ideas. moving to the closet she thinks a little more before pulling something out )

Probably for the best. Don't think virginal white is a color I can pull off. Not convincingly anyway.

[wynonna was many things but virtuous and pure wasn't one of them. still, she takes the corset from the other woman to inspect the style a little more.]

It's also a little boring.

( helena was also not a fan of those ideals, or had ever embodied them )

What do you think?

It's a little frilly, I gotta say. [which might be an issue with a lot stuff -- her taste in clothes don't exactly align with older stuff.]
