Dasha would be lying if she said she wasn’t excited for the fashion show. She may have even talked about it to one of her coworkers who didn’t really show interest right after. She couldn’t help it. Going to see beautiful if maybe questionably functional clothing was just part of her #aesthetic, and she was going to run as far as she could with it.
A few texts had been exchanged between Dasha and Marceline in the days after, and when Sunday rolled around, Dasha was very, very ready to go watch. The only problem, however, was what to wear to the event itself. She had so many options, too many options, and too much of a shopper’s eye to really be able to choose. She had thought she would be bored on Saturday with nothing to do, but she was very very wrong in that regard. No, she had to go through all of her clothes and then some to decide.
When Sunday rolled around, Dasha found herself walking towards the venue in the clothes she had chosen. A white blouse with a golden chain in the collar dropping down to a blue pendant was covered by a black jacket. The jacket itself was rather fashionable but would be surprisingly heavy for anyone who actually touched it. Yes, armor came in all styles, and Dasha was one to relish it where she could. Her pants, however, were rather simple by comparison, a pair of slacks that held the outfit together. Her shoes had been substituted several times over with different things until she finally went with a pair of steel boots.
Her hair and makeup had been done several times over. However, now that she had her short locks on either side of her face and her features heightened by a few blue hues, she felt confident. Just in case anything happened, she had some makeup in the bag across her chest. Priorities and protocols and all that.
Looking down at her phone as she made her way up, she texted Marceline right after. ‘I’m out front, where are you?’

Marcelne herself was excited. So excited in fact she briefly tripped when she lost the stability of her disguise on the way home. It was a fluke of a slip up but one she was sure not to create and not to let anyone see before making the rest of her way home. Much like Dasha she’d been eager to share the news and had engaged right away with one of the members of staff in her father’s home as she asked for their aid in picking out an outfit. Much like Dasha, she’d spend a long time trying items on and deciding what would be best.
For a brief while she was sure she had something. An elegant, open sides dress that hugged her figure well with a stylized pin back in her hair. Really it was a dress she absolutely LOVED, mostly because…well, Marceline, in her usual more casual attire, could probably pass for a later teen with the right expression, seeming very youthful and playful, but in this dress she was certainly more womanly. It was only when her staff reminded her of something when delivering the second ticket from her father to her that she changed her mind.
This show was battle chique. Ah, yeah…while any fashion would be expected in the crowd it would be most appropriate to show appreciation for the fashion line being displayed by playing to it herself. She almost hated the fact she’d realized that, now unable to go with her favourite go to dress for looking more like a grown up, and left with a rather limited range of potential battle chique.
What do do…
She briefly considered calling Dasha for ideas under the guise of coordinating their outfits, but she did want to surprise her new friend with her fashion sense…
She may have had to go shopping. Don’t tell anyone. She kinda felt like it was cheating.
She arrived in an outfit Yumi has a picture of at home (but not at work) and would have difficulty explaining. It incorporated some aspects of armor but seemed designed for a ‘light’ class of fighter, like a lancer with elegant moves of the like. It came with a ‘dapper’ little cap Marceline related to more naval military mentally, but perhaps from inexperience in such areas. Ultimately she felt she looked rather nice, but blushed a little as she spotted Dasha from a short distance, feeling the buzz of her phone from her clutch bag and pulling out her phone, smirking and deciding to be a little playful.
Using her slime shifting, she made sure her legs briefly slithered along the ground when she was sure no one was there, sneaking up on Dasha silently before pounching on her, returning to normal before she was seen and clasping her hands on Dasha’s shoulders. “Here I am!” She rounded the girl quickly, gesturing over her as she took her in. “You look amazing by the way…I…” She looked to her own costume. “May have gone a little overboard…”

Dasha’s eyes had remained on the phone. She kind of expected Marceline to text back in a second or two as opposed to minutes. It was the sudden pounce that had her squeaking and straightening entirely. “Ohmygoddess—“ On seeing who it was, however, she breathed out again. “Marcie—“ When had that nickname stuck? Who knew? “You came out of nowhere….” A small laugh came and went from her.
The compliment immediately had her beaming in response. “Why thank you….” she stepped forward and then twirled in a circle as if Marceline hadn’t already seen multiple sides of her from sneaking up on her. At the hesitant commentary, Dasha was quick to respond, though. “No no, it looks perfect on you,” she assured warmly. Blue eyes scanned over Marceline’s outfit a little slower now taking in the details. “It’s so cute…” She spoke a little softer before looking down to what she was wearing. Maybe she was the one who had underdressed for this occasion.
Oh well~ They were there to see other dresses, so it didn’t matter too too much, right? Right? Right. “Ready to see the newest lines?” she beamed.

Marceline blushed right from being called Marcie. She managed to convince herself, true or not, that she’d been called it in texts before, but something about hearing it in person was rather nice. With how much time she’d spend focusing on living the ‘Marceline’ life that had been left for her, this was arguably one of her first experiences gaining a friend on her own merits…well. Outside of Marceline herself of course, but that bummer of a thought didn’t manage to cross her mind right now, and she was instead focusing on sharing a good evening with her new friend.
“Well Dash.” She cheekily retorted with her own nickname made on the spot for sure this time. “I certainly think while I may be catching the eyes with my cute little number, you’ll certainly be grabbing the attention as it were. Sure I may grab a few glances but a quiet,well balanced outfit like your own is definitely more likely to get eyes to linger in a place like this.~” She cocked her hips with a cheeky smile, sticking the tip of her tongue out to try and emphasize the cute angle her outfit seemed to have hit.
“But of course.~” She slided up to Dasha’s side and offered out a hooked arm, but with a silly enough expression to show she was just being playful, though she did play on the dressy-suit her partner here was wearing with a teasy comment of. “Lead the way prince charming.~” The signs leading to the show were very clear thankfully.”

A goofy smile flashed across Dasha’s features very briefly on being referred to as Dash. Members of her family often referred to her by that nickname, but those outside of that were far and few between. In the military, being called Laska was far more common for one reason or another, and in that case, Dasha preferred it that way.
The mention of catching eyes, however, earned a small giggle. “I believe your assessment is correct,” she answered a bit softer. Some color had come to her features, but it was rapidly cooling down already. “Though I think all eyes will be on the models once the dresses start coming out.” She giggled again considering that.
Too bad they couldn’t have been in the runway lineup somehow. That would have taken some planning and preparation, however. Maybe some other time over the course of a few months, they could get in on one if scheduling worked out. Too many variables.
As Marceline slid up next to Dasha, these thoughts subsided, and a smile pulled onto her features. Eheheheh, prince charming? She could do that well enough. “Of course, princess,” she replied lowering her voice a bit before starting to walk along with he.
Stepping into the cool dark theater of sorts, Dasha took in a slow breath. Nice… This was nice. The rows of seats clearly faced the stage and the runway and had been done up in soft lights that didn’t draw too much attention to themselves. “There’s not a lot of people here yet…” she noted a small crowd but nothing very substantial. A playful thought came and went from her as she suggested. “Do you think anyone would notice if we slipped around the back to get a preview peak?”

Unable to suppress a giggle entirely herself at the sheer atmosphere surrounding the two girls. She could already tell this was going to be a good night. Aaaah intelligent friends were so much more engaging and heart warming than other dumb slimes. Back with her original family the closest she could get to all of this was the whole cave freaking out because Slumie turned into a rock slime. THAT was the closest they could get to some huge fashion revelation!
Here with Dash though it was so much better. She had someone she could bond and share a memory with and was more than ready to enjoy the evening with her. She chuckled at her tease that all the eyes would be on the show, but Marcie teased right back with a hum as she cupped her own chin. “Mmm I dunnooooo. You’re looking pretty good for a soldier~ May get more focus than ya think~” She gently nudged the other girl to show she was just teasing before starting to walk towards the establishment.
“Oh princess? Not queen? Ugh. I’ll need to get stronger poison.~” The joke was a little vague but she hoped the teasy idea of her ‘killing her way to the top’ landed for a fair enough laugh with how over the top her villainous smirk was to follow as they started to head inside. Indeed it was a little barren but it was understandable for people to be fashionably late to a fashion show of all things.~
“I suppose not, but leaves us a chance to get the good seats.~” That was her first instinct at least, but with the idea of getting a sneak peak, she looked to a sign that detailed the models changing rooms. “I’m…suuuure a small peak through the curtain couldn’t hurt…besides I’m sure the designer will be flattered we’re here so eagerly~”

Dasha’s lips pressed together and then quirked a bit to one side as her eyebrow raised to Marceline’s vague joke. “Queen Marceline?” It had a strangely nice ring to it, but Dasha always liked the sound of Queen Dasha a bit more. “We’ll have to see.” Dasha laughed briefly.
Oooh, yes, the good seats. That was always a bonus of getting there early. They could strategize and get a spot that would allow them to see both the stage and the video backdrop so as not to miss anything. Orrrrrr, they could get an up close and personal evaluation for a few seconds or so. Dasha was more than a little pleased that Marceline was willing to go along with it. Flashing a smile towards her, she then raised a finger briefly to her lips before clasping Marceline’s hand and starting towards the changing rooms.
So distracted with the stage and lights and things, the people taking care of the area didn’t even realize the two girls headed for the back didn’t actually belong there. Dasha liked to believe they were pretty enough to be models anyways. As she stepped behind the door, however, Dasha found herself looking one way and then the next at the numerous rows of dressing rooms. Looking around, however, Dasha caught sight of what she really wanted to see, a long rack of different colored clothing. “Looks like a few of them haven’t even started to be put on yet…” she whispered to Marcie.

Grinning a little at Dasha’s clear if somewhat quiet excitement as they had to sneak for a peak backstage. In the heels of her costume it was a little hard to keep her steps entirely quiet, but so many women behind the curtain were in the same position so it wasn’t like they were gonna be heard anyway. Easing her way into the backstage door she kept close to the wall, genuinely resisting the urge to literally stick to it in her slime form for how excited yet nervous she was to be breaking the rules a little like this, clocking onto the outfits just as swiftly as Dasha had, though at her whispered response Marcie herself glanced about the room. She couldn’t see all the models, but she did note there were 4 or 5 distinct piles of more ‘plain’ clothing.
“Yeah I think they’ve only got so many models. They have to like, speed-change between outfits.” She nodded along. While the designer they were seeing the work of today was definitely well known, it wasn’t uncommon for them to work with just a handful of models displaying a whole line of clothing, so changing quickly between their struts was a necessary skill to aquire. She’d once seen a fashion show before and the designer looked like he was sweating by the end of it given he had to help every girl change.
Spotting the designer herself striding across the room to gently chide a model for wearing one of the accessories incorrectly, Marceline giddily shook Dasha’s arm to get her attention, trying very hard not to squeak and make too much noise as the tiefling designer was just a short walk from them. She whispered excitedly but very definitely still quiet. “Aaaaah stop me before I go over and make a fool of myself!”

Ah— Yeah, more dresses than models made sense now that Marceline mentioned it. Dasha still couldn’t help but smirking at the prospects of speed-changes between outfits. She bet she could do it if asked. Not that anyone had asked. Someone should ask. Never mind that despite being tall she might not have made the exact height needs of these kinds of dresses. With heels, she could totally make it. Oh yes, this fabric was probably only a little long. She could to—
Dasha’s eyes flickered immediately away from the dresses to Marceline and then on to the actual designer that was there? Oh my Goddess… Dasha mouthed the words before flashing a look at Marceline and smiling hard. Ahhhh Marcie— you know that was exactly what Dasha was considering too— but no they both needed to hold each other back for now? Stay hidden and just enjoy the closeness and—
“Hello? Is someone else there?” the tiefling woman had heard something but assumed it to be staff before anyone sneaking around.
Immediately, Dasha froze. Looking out and then sideways at Marceline, Dasha bit her lip. Should they continue to hide or?

Marceline nearly jumped as she heard the sounds of the designer seeming to have caught on to them, and turned even quieter because of it despite the initial shock that engaged her. She clasped her hands carefully over her mouth for a moment, eyeing the door they’d came in through and thinking it was probably best they back the hell out right now before they get in trouble. As much bravado as she showed with thinking they’d be flattered that people were arriving early and so eager to get a sneak peak, the designer likely didn’t share the joke mentality there and wasn’t about to give them a warm or even gentle welcome.
She shared the look of ‘what the hell do they do’ here with Dasha…and a sly idea came to mind. She wouldn’t really have her shapeshifting to help in Dasha’s presence, but with how she and her friend had gotten all dressed up in fitting with the line’s theme…
Fuck it. She was a noble’s daughter. Worse that could happen was a slap on the wrist and sitting at the back of the room during the show.
Stepping out, she held her nose high (though trying not to be too high so she still seemed beneath the designer themselves) and rested a hand on their chest, declaring a false name with confidence and bravado. “Bonjour madame. I do believe you were expecting me and my colleague no? We do apologize for the lateness of our arrival!~”
She lightly gestured behind her back for Dasha to follow her lead, regretting it quite quickly but thinking of the potential benefits if this managed to work. “That silly Caeluma decided to land on one of the world trees train tracks. You wouldn’t believe the delays. Regardless, we’re here now, and ready to display your art.”
Oh god this was so not gonna work but it was gonna be a fucking good story at the very least.

Dasha’s lips parted as Marceline started to step out, but no noise came out immediately. Instead, she turned to peep out beyond to the tiefling to see her reaction. Oh— That was her. Taking in a quick, strong breath, Dasha fluidly shifted to step out alongside Marceline. Her features held a poisoned if flat expression. Her eyes wouldn’t focus on the tiefling but just above her. For as cool as her features were in that moment from plenty of military training, her stomach was tying in knots and her heart was jumping up into her ears. Please work.
The tiefling looked over the pair slowly, her lips pressed together in a questioning expression. After a few seconds, however, she huffed and nodded a bit. “I see, very well, hurry up and get ready, you simply can’t go out dressed like that. Rooms 21 and 22, hurry hurry, the dresses are already ready for you.” She turned thereafter and went on addressing the pair that she had been talking to.
For a few seconds, Dasha didn’t know what was happening. Then after that, she was slowly looking sideways at Marceline to view her expression. Right after that, she couldn’t help the small quirk of her lips. They made it?? Somehow???

Despite her somewhat dramatic, but in her opinion, effective acting skills, a flair in her eyes showed even she was especially surprised by the fact their bluff had worked. She actually had to use her shapeshifting powers to fucking prevent her cheeks from turning a deep red in surprise and also sudden embaressment from the fact she realized they’d just infiltrated a professional show. The tiefling would walk off, very busy, without a word from either of them, the greenette turning her eyes to her silver haired companion and hoping-
No. Nope. She was pretty stunned by this to. Marceline just took a gasping breath and loosened her stance, taking Dasha’s risk before anyone else noticed they shouldn’t really be here and dragged her to the assigned changing rooms, pushing Dasha into one and herself into another, whispering just loud enough to be heard through the thin walls.
“I can’t believe that worked can you!?” She was clearly ecstatic even from the other side of the wall, not even daring to look at the outfit she had to wear yet and whispering a little more sharply. “Pleeeease tell me we’re actually going through with this? I don’t have the courage to go with this alone.” She clasped her hands together, silently pleading through the wall. She really was excited to do this but hell no she did not have the strength to go through with this ruse alone.
