Well, when I'm wembling west...

WHO: /Ruka, Tonks, Andromeda Tonks, Lily Potter, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, and Hermione Granger.
WHERE: a large, popular department store in the City
WHEN: Sunday, August 21st 2011
WARNINGS: Hideous outfits may pop up! Polyvore may become a timesink. Don't worry about the ladies though, Ruka is there to chaperon them.
SUMMARY: They've had over a week of relative quiet in the City. It's time to go shopping and then lunch.
FORMAT: Quick to start, then whatever. There is no posting order, multi-threads are encouraged.

Invitations had been sent out, either by text or by verbal invitation. Originally, it was just supposed to be Tonks, Ruka and Lily Potter but then others had arrived. It didn't feel right to Tonks that they be left out, so they'd been invited too.

The more the merrier, right?

Tonks looks up at the large, multi-level department store. It's big, gigantic even. Everyone is bound to find something they like, she thinks.

She's standing by one of the entrances. All that she has left to do now is wait for everyone to arrive. Tonks is easy to spot, her hair is a vivid shade of vermilion.

Next to that, sea foam green is practically mundane. Of course, her impression of a wallflower would not be complete without lingering near walls; a task at which Ruka excels. Like usual, her sleeves come down to the wrists, and gloves cover hands and fingers, so her arms remain completely covered. Probably a good idea, for how high-cranked the AC is.

She's not very talkative on good days, so her practically perpetual dour mood which will just make her the most engaging shopping accompaniment ever.
dragony: (I dare you to say no to this face)

Ruka gives Tonks a curious look, trying not to bristle at the implicit coddling. "I'll be fine," is what she says, placation in her tone. It takes effort to smile, but it appears natural once it blooms on her face. "You don't have to worry about me."

Ginny hasn't met Tonks' companion yet, but given that they're all going shopping together, she thinks it's about high time she did.

"Hello! Listen, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Ginny Weasley."
dragony: (incredibly polite (to kidnappers))

[personal profile] dragony 2011-08-22 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's nice to meet you." Her voice is mature in pitch for her apparent age (thirteen, fourteen? Somewhere in there, it seems), the words spoken clearly. Her hands, gloved, are folded behind her back, and she gives Ginny a polite bow of the head in greeting. "I'm Ruka."

The surname is conspicuously absent.
batbogeyed: (SmileNice)

[personal profile] batbogeyed 2011-08-22 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ginny noted the lack of surname, but decided it would be rude to pursue that line of questioning. She smiled.

"It's nice to meet you too. I haven't been here for very long, but I'm from the same world as Tonks."

Luna doesn't seem to mind. Either she's used to dour companions or she's not very picky. Whatever the case, once she joins Ruka and Tonks, it's with a friendly smile.

"Hello. My name is Luna. I don't believe we've met face-to-face before, but it's very nice to finally see you without a screen in the way."

[identity profile] i-seethestrals.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Luna is quietly sitting outside the entrance, in a long skirt with her hair pulled back by a bunny-themed hair-tie (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=35975905), too engrossed in her very important people watching to notice who has (or hasn't) arrived yet.

[identity profile] i-seethestrals.livejournal.com 2011-08-22 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
“Tonks?” She looks away from the sight of an oddly-dressed man trying to chat up a confused young lady to turn to her friend. Her face breaking out into a big grin, she starts jogging up to the older woman and her companion.

“Am I late? Sorry about that, I really should get a Remeberall, I’m always forgetting times...”
batbogeyed: (SmileShy)

L-Late

Ginny had some trouble finding the place. New York is just absolutely massive, if she's honest, and it's not like she can go everywhere by broomstick.

And then she has to spend a few minutes just staring at the size of this place full of shops. It's like Diagon Alley squared. Except not magical, but still, it's fairly impressive. Luckily enough, so is the shade of Tonks' hair, and Ginny spots her fairly quickly.

"Tonks!" She flashes a grin as she runs up beside her, holding her little phone device thing. "I got your wordy things. Take it this is the right place, then. It's amazing."

"You missed my..." Ginny trails away, thinking over the ramifications of this. "You're joking! That means I missed it too!"

Well, that was a turn up. Her birthday had been two months away when she left home, and now it was over. She shook her head.

"Hmm. Scandalous, that'd set the cat amongst the pigeons. I'm living with Fred and George and Ron's around pretending he's the same age as dad."

Luna stood to the side of Tonks. Visibly suppressing her excitement. Not for the place, even if it was thrilling, seeing how the other half did their shopping. No, she was practically bouncing in place for her friend.

Who Luna threw her arms around the second she and the other woman reached a lull in their conversation.

"Sorry for the suddenness, but there are some things you can't do over a communicator, and I'd been meaning to." She looked a bit embarrassed. "It's very nice to see you... and this place is smashing, isn't it?"
batbogeyed: (Hug)

[personal profile] batbogeyed 2011-08-27 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Luna! Ginny was delighted to see her and gave her a huge hug back. She was very impressed with the massive shopping place, in all fairness, but it went right out of her head for the moment.

"Hi! Don't say sorry, I'm glad to see you too! You'll have to show me round, Luna, I'd get completely lost in a place like this."

[identity profile] i-seethestrals.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
She held on tight for as long as Ginny would let her. There was no telling, after all, she could be 'ported back or something similarly horrid at any moment. Exciting as it was, the shopping could wait.

"Hello! I'd love to, even if I may not be the best guide. Certainly no metaphorical Niffler sniffing for gold, at least... but you should ask Neville and Mrs. Potter about that."

Fortunately for Tonks, Andromeda has some experience with Completely Ridiculous Shoes. Not personally, but having worked in St. Mungo's emergency ward ...

"It's my experience that at least 40% of the time -- they don't. And they are dangerous. You don't know how many times I've seen one of those go clear through a fellow's foot."

[personal profile] andromynous 2011-08-25 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know what possesses pureblood mothers to think buying their teenage daughters shoes taller than some of their wands is a good idea." She smirks, though, and shakes her head.

"And yes, really. Very dangerous. Although, I suppose if that's what they're going for..."

Luna eyes them with an equal amount of curiosity, analyzing the shoes as if they were a particularly interesting animal. "Are you sure that isn't their proper purpose? Assuming you managed to walk towards the target, they could be cleverly concealed weapons."
