Fashion Faux Pas

Early February; Open

An open-air shopping center with retail, restaurants, and live entertainment. The area gets its unusual name from the fact that the structures are all made from shipping crates. Shoppers can enjoy second-hand stores, off-beat boutiques, casual dining, and a board game cafe called "Connect Pour." Community events are held at the shopping center such as "Yoga in the Park" on Saturdays. There is also a metal, mechanical frog structure at the center of the shopping area that shoots flames. Every night at sundown (weather permitting) The Frog is awakened with a drum circle and shoots fire to music until 11 pm. Local music acts often play to the crowds during the nightly pyrotechnical show.

Fashion Faux Pas

#1

Post by Ryuki »

(Felicity Franklin- Pregame Start)

Felicity saw that a new, little thrift shop had opened in the area. She was curious and wanted to check it out. From the clothing on display, she could tell that they specialized in women’s clothing. She spotted a beautiful pink blouse with ruffled sleeves, and a heart bedazzled with diamond studs on the front. And it was just her size too!

“Ooh! Nice,” Felicity said, “How much does this cost?”

Felicity looked at the price and furrowed her brow. Twenty dollars!? This thing wasn’t even made by a big brand! Why are they asking for so much? She put the blouse back and continued to look through the clothes rack for something more affordable.

((Chester Bissette continued from Jesus, Where am I?))

Another day. Another dollar.

That phrase was apparently used to refer to the construction of the Panama Canal, where workers allegedly were given a dollar a day for labor.

Nothing more, just an interesting fact.

Chester Bissette was dressed in his usual garbs, aimlessly walking through the aisles of the thrift store that opened up. He was interested, usually he didn’t care about appearances but he wanted to see what kind of vintage or unique clothing people traded and gave away that ended up here. He picked up a hat from the carousel as he continued walking. A weird looking fishing hat.

Huh. 5 bucks?

He rounded the corner and nearly ran into the slightly shorter girl, pausing as he stepped back “Oh. Sorry.”

She seemed familiar. Was she a classmate?

“Oh, you’re good,” said Felicity.

This dude looked familiar. She was pretty sure she’d seen him in the halls at school. She never really talked to him or got his name, but she recognized the outfit and haircut. She noticed the hat he was holding.

“Nice hat,” she remarked.

“Oh…thanks.” Bissette looked down at the hat, sniffling “It’s five bucks. So. Yeah.”

He looked around and then down at the girl. Great. Awkwardness, why was he here again?

“Uh…Felicity? I think that’s your name. Red Rock right?” He tilts his head and glances around “I’m uh, Chester.”

“Five bucks? Huh,” said Felicity, slightly surprised.

There was a pause. An air of awkwardness crept up. Should she say something? Maybe she should introduce herself and check if he was a student at Red Rock. Just then, he introduced himself as Chester and asked if she was a student at Red Rock.

“Oh, well, hello Chester,” said Felicity, “Yeah, I go to Red Rock. You go there too right? I think I’ve seen you around.”

“Uh, yeah. Though not apart of the alumni.” Bissette averted his gaze, scratching his neck as he decides what else to say.

He glances around again, looking at the clothes “So, what you doing here? Picking out some good clothes or something else?”

Please, stop Bissette. She was just doing some shopping, don’t bother her

“Yeah, I heard there was a new thrift shop and I wanted to check it out,” explained Felicity.

Felicity loved shopping at thrift stores. It was like her own form of treasure hunting. She never knew what interesting and stylish clothing she would find. Whether it were dresses, purses, hats, or shoes, she always looked forward to finding something new. And, as an added benefit, it saved her some money.

“What are you doing here?,” asked Felicity.

Bissette hesitated as he glanced around, feeling like he stuck out like a sore thumb before clearing his throat.

“The stores I go to are pretty ugly with clothes. Not worth the price.”

He looks over to a rack, gesturing at some bedazzled jeweled leather jacket, gesturing to it “Thrift Shops are pretty nice and are cheap, so…yeah.”

“True, true,” said Felicity.

She looked at the bedazzled leather jacket Chester had gestured to. It looked nice, although leather clothing wasn’t something Felicity would go for. She did however spot a neat looking tie dyed hoodie. It had pink, yellow, and turquoise colors in a spiral pattern.

“Excuse me,” said Felicity, moving past Chester for a closer look.

The hoodie was just her size. And the price? 5 dollars!

“Nice!,” said Felicity, satisfied with her find. She looked to Chester.

“You think you’d wear something like this?”

Bissette took a closer look at the hoodie, a look of mild interests on his face “Oh? Maybe I wo-”

He stops for a moment.

Pink.

He immediately felt a twinge of embarrassment, averting his eyes and clearing his throat while he observed several other things on the rack.

“Yeah, maybe. It looks nice. You could definitely pull that off.” Bissette shrugged a little “You should buy it.”

“You know what? I think I will,” Felicity said to Chester.

Felicity took the hoodie off the rack and slung over her forearm. She would have been crazy to pass up this excellent find. She could see herself wearing this when the temperature dips into the forties or fifties during springtime. She then looked back at the bedazzled leather jacket Chester pointed out beforehand.

“Maybe you should get this,” said Felicity, “It’d look good on you.”

It’d look good on you.

Bissette turned and looked over at the jacket, nodding “Yeah, it probably would, I’ll grab it.” He grabbed the jacket from the rack, pulling it off and tilting his head “Uh, thanks. It’ll look nice.”

He side eyes something else on the rack for a moment before averting his gaze back at Felicity “Yeah, this’ll look good. Thanks.”

Well, glad he thought so. He seemed like the type to rock a leather fit.

“Cool,” said Felicity, “Glad we both found something we like.”

Felicity looked at her phone. It was 12:45 pm. She was going to meet her mother and sister at one of the food stalls for lunch at 1:00 pm.

“Well, I gotta get going,” said Felicity, “It was nice chatting with you.”

After exchanging goodbyes, Felicity made her way to the cashier to make her purchase. She then hurried to go meet with Sequoia and Gabby for lunch.

(Felicity Franklin, continued elsewhere…)

“Yeah uh, bye…” Bissette gave a wave as he glanced at the rack again.

He hesitated, turning to walk away….before he snatched something off the rack.

Just try it once.
