shopping montage!

Shopping Montage!



A staple trope of romantic comedies, chick flicks and sitcoms. A woman (usually a mother or a mother figure) who wants to spend some Quality Time with her protégé (usually, her daughter) takes the protégé out on a shopping trip, usually to The Mall — buying dresses and makeup, getting their nails done together, etc.



How to Play

1. Ignore the dominant culture. Persons of all gender, age, and species can shop together!
2. Top level with your preferences.
3. Tag around!



Subtropes


1. The Mall: This isn't just a mall. It's THE Mall. (The Space Mall...?)

2. Costume Test: You're shopping for an important event! You must get opinions on the perfect outfit.

3. Shockingly Expensive Bill: Uh oh... who's paying?

4. Gender Bender: For whatever reason - a desire, dare, a bet, an undercover mission - you need help procuring an outfit that isn't your... usual style.

5. Retail Therapy: Is self-indulgence is the surest way to soothe a broken heart?

6. Fashion Shop Fashion Show: Everyone's a model! How many outfits can you try out before the shop boots you out?

7. Villains Out Shopping: It isn't your usual activity, but bad guys gotta wear clothes too.

8. Bring your own!

[ Xiangling needs something "cool" to wear to Xinyan's next live show, so here they are: a Hot Topic between universes? Not that Xiangling remembers this shop's name.

The young chef-slash-adventurer holds onto Guoba tightly in her arms, who would look like a completely normal stuffed panda were it not for the soft snore emanating from his nose. She isn't worried about disturbing anyone with the noise, though. The music is loud!

She likes it. The atmosphere really does remind her of her friend's lively guitar performances on the docks. ]


Oh! Is this song, um -

[ She's trying to remember what Xinyan called it! ]

Oh no, I can't remember! Run and stone? No, that doesn't sound cool enough for Xinyan at all... row and rock? No... ugh!
