"I play it because it works." Jhase slipped out of the cab. "And I don't like the sound of that. What do you mean, anything can conceal weaponry? I refuse to wear something like that wisp of transparisilk you had on at the last party I went to with you. My idea of weaponry is slightly more substantial than yours." She patted her holster affectionately.

"Oh, honey, if you only knew what things I had under that 'wisp' as you put it." Halna followed her friend from the cab and quickly punched in the code to her apartment. Stepping inside, she immediately slipped into a well-worn routine. Drop her purse on the hall table, heels come off in the living room doorway, jacket lands on the couch, and she headed for her bedroom. "Come on. I'm sure I've got something we'll both deem appropriate. And if not, you'll just have to put up with something I pick out," she said.

Jhase snorted incredulously. "I think maybe I'm better off not knowing what's under your dresses, thanks." Following Halna inside, she slipped off her boots and laid her helmet beside her friend's purse. "I hope you have something we can agree on, because I'm not very good at compromises, or putting up with things. As I'm sure you remember," she finished, with a wry grin.

Halna's voice floated out from the bedroom. "Yeah, I remember, Jhase. That's part of the reason we haven't spoken in so long. Hmm. What color are your eyes? And what's your favorite color, again? Blue, right? You know what, just come in here. It'll make this a whole lot easier." she rambled, trying to decide how to narrow down their outfits.

"Uh, yeah, blue. And my eyes are kinda... greenish-blue, I think." Jhase reluctantly entered the bedroom, leaning against the wall and watching her friend look through her wardrobe. "Good stars, Halna, why does any one person need that many clothes?"

"Think about what I do for a living. I need to be able to blend in anywhere," she explained from the incredibly messy walk-in closet, "Ahh... okay. Come in here. I know you'll say no, but what do you think of this one?" She held up a light green, knee-length, ceptsilk dress. It had long sleeves and a high neck but the back was open. "I think I might have a pair of shoes in here somewhere that matches it perfectly."

Jhase picked her way across the floor and gave the dress a dubious look. "It's a bit... short. What about that one?" she asked, pointing to a bit of deep blue skirt visible from behind another gown. "I like that color."

"Hmm. Cooperation. This may be easier than I'd originally figured," Halna commented sarcastically as she hung the green dress up. Pulling the halter-top dress off the hanger she wrinkled up her nose. "Oh boy. I remember this thing. There's a reason it's kind of buried. Ahem. I had a little... encounter... with a certain Mr. Ronjel in it. You remember him? Handsome, but a little too hands-on for my taste."

Jhase surveyed the dress appraisingly. "It's really not that bad... I'll have to see how low-cut it is. And I do remember Ronjel." She quirked an eyebrow. "He tried that with me, but I, ah, convinced him I wasn't his type."

Grinning wickedly, Halna replied, "So did I. Here, try it on." She handed the dress over to Jhase and pushed her towards the bathroom. She stood outside the door while her friend changed.

Jhase stacked the armor plates on the bathroom floor and slipped out of the undersuit. The dress was pleasantly cool against her skin as she struggled to fasten the back up. Finally giving up, she opened the door with one hand as she held the dress shut with the other. "A little help here, please?"

Halna pulled the zipper up the rest away. "'Kay. Turn around," she said in a slightly demanding voice. The dress was cut fairly low, although it didn't seem slutty in any way. Halna wrinkled her nose once again. "I don't know. It looks funny on you. I don't think halters are really your style."

Jhase looked down. "Uh, yeah." The dress was the lowest-cut thing she'd ever worn, and the halter strap was tight against the back of her neck. "Well, I'm out of ideas. Don't you have anything with a bit more..." She gestured at her chest. "Coverage?"

Chuckling at Jhase's uncomfortable comment, she headed for the closet again. "Of course I do." She disappeared for a moment, but promptly returned with a light blue scoop neck gown. It touched the floor, although with heels, it would probably be about right. The back was covered with a matching sheer and small snap buttons. A pretty sequin design lightly decorated the front. "What about this one?"

Jhase nodded appraisingly. "Not bad. It's almost the same color as my armor, although less practical." Taking the dress from Halna, she headed back into the bathroom to change. "And you're quite sure that I can fit all my weapons under this thing? I'm not going anywhere without my knives and at least one blaster."
