Sharpay Evans ♥ High School Musical ♥ So Unseelie it hurts

[fabulosa]

Network Post:

[Oh. My. God. This place was beyond messed up. Seriously, why? Just why. She's not even gonna tuck on the serious lack of amenities in her room and the castle. Who doesn't have a day spa? But that's not as cruel as the current dilemma she's facing.

With a sigh, she figures she should suck it up and use the stupid locket to see who else might be here.]

So... Clothes. How do I get more that aren't craptastic? Seriously, what does this place have against quality fabrics? If I put what's hiding in that closet thing on my body, it will legit cry.

[She pulls out a pink wallet from her purse, holding the locket back slightly as the plastic strip holding the cards tumbles out to show just how many credit cards she had including a black American Express card.]

Money's not an issue. So just tell me who I need to talk to in order to get this moving. Bonus for designer brands. K, thanks - bye!

[Have a fake smile to go with the fake peppiness of that last sentence and a little blown kiss before she closes the locket.]

The Station:

[Getting here had been more than a little bit of a pain in the ass, but she'd managed - having bribed some of the imps to help her 'recycle' some of the outfits to put together something that might pass as survivable here. She'd heard about this place, having almost died thanks to not being able to use her emergency straightener that she had with her at all times.

Barreling through the door in a way that was seemingly unique to Sharpay, she makes a point to ignore anything and everyone until she's plugged in the hot pink device, giving a satisfied little sound when the light starts blinking at her.]

Glad to see something around here isn't straight out of a horror movie.

Wildcard:

Choose your own sparkly Sharpay filled adventure!

[...s i g h]

Did you know that at least 50% of the population here doesn't even know what a credit card is?

[Somehow that seems like the safer topic than "what the actual fuck are you doing here?"]

network;

[fabulosa]

Well then it's about time they learned.

[No she didn't know that. Surprise. The bigger question, though, is does she care? Honestly, how do people survive without credit cards?]

Where are you?

[Hi. She means hi.]

network;

[choreographics]

Um...[Well that's kind of a funny story hahaha oh god help.] I'm sort of in the middle of something? [Ryan that is literally not an answer at all.

Truth be told, he's actually pretty caught off-guard. One minute he'd been hanging out in Cothromach helping out and the next his sister's face is all over the network and seriously, why couldn't this have happened some other time?

But. He thinks he's happy...maybe? Nah, he's missed her terribly but he's not going to actually say that until he gauges her attitude. If she's still mad at him about Juilliard...oh man.]

Why, where're you?

network;

[fabulosa]

Obviously whatever it is can wait. I'm clearly more important.

[DUH. Wow, she actually had to say that. Shame on you, Ryan.]

I'm in some dark creepy castle. There are tiny things here that have a ridiculous amount of teeth. Ew.

network;

[survivra]

What do you have against clothes that do their job?

[ based on the way sharpay is talking katsa has one guess where this person is from and it's probably right (it is) ]

network;

[fabulosa]

[There's just a blank stare for a solid 30 seconds because that just seems like a ridiculous question.]

Ok, but have you ever heard of Chanel?

network;

[survivra]

[ katsa can blank stare right back ]

No. If you can't do the needlework yourself, though, and you're that set against all the things you already have that fit just fine, I'm sure there's someone in the castle to help instead. There's fabric enough.

network;

[fabulosa]

[Ew. These manicured fingers aren't going anywhere near needlework.]

Nothing in there is in my color wheel. Are there any other places that might have fabric? Like good fabric?

[Because she doesn't sew. That's what other people are for.]

Station

[bythewaves]

[ The Station never has really recovered from LawkamercyAriadne's attacks, but there is enough of it still standing that folk still make it their home. The clocks still tell the time in Quenya, the microwave still talks in Feanor's crisp tones... and Maglor still comes to watch his weekly sitcom on the TV, although he moved out a long time ago.

All in the Bloooody Beautiful~ chimes the television, and the elf on the couch raises an eyebrow at the young woman-child who appears to be communing with the strange device in her hand ]

Are you well, lady?

[fabulosa]

[Oh yeah, there were totally other people here. Right. People who apparently didn't talk like her. Okay. She could totally rock this. She's read Shakespeare.]

I'm better now. I'll be fantastic in about an hour once the hot mess that is my hair is dealt with.

[Too bad her stylist didn't get dragged here with her.]

[bythewaves]

Your hair? [ He blinks and tips his head curiously ]

What seems to be the trouble? You have lovely hair, milady, and I would not have thought that it was a... 'hot mess' ?

[fabulosa]

I'm so unprepared for this place. If I'd had a heads-up and a chance to have someone analyze the air quality here and humidity levels so I could have packed the right products instead of what I'm stuck with. But no, that would have been considerate.

[That ramble is definitely not totally directed at him, the second half more to the air - hands flailing slightly for added emphasis. It takes her a moment to realize he'd complimented her hair, the annoyance melting into a practiced smile.]

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to do a thing with it yet but soon it'll be right back to how it should be.

I'm Sharpay, by the way.

[It's a total afterthought because clearly, back home she's totally famous no she's not and needs no introduction.]

network;

[alikeness]

Cards don't work here. [ shortly. it's helpful connor 101 time ]

network;

[fabulosa]

[Ugh. Well that changes things.]

Alright. So what does?

[Everybody and everything had a price. This was just gonna take a little more work than she'd anticipated.]

network;

[alikeness]

[ there's a bit of movement off screen, before connor finally holds up a bronze coin to the screen. ]

There's silver and gold, but bronze usually works. [ he lowers it ] You might as well get used to your closet. Designer goods aren't really on the market here.

network;

[fabulosa]

Oh my god just stop talking.

[Someone's freaking out at the idea of having to deal with what's in the closet. She does a few breathing exercises before refocusing on the locket.]

Ok. Just the coins or would something like this work?

[She holds up her tiffany silver and diamond tennis bracelet in the frame of the locket.]

[playmakings]

[ She swears, sometimes, that she can feel Sharpay's presence. It's a cold draft, the hairs on the back of her neck sticking up, and--

--Yeah. She shivered. That means, if she takes her earbuds out and sloooooooooooooooooowly turns around, she'll-- ]

It--

[ There's no actual sound that comes out of her, but it's very alarmed and it's halfway between a meep and a startled hiccup. Sharpay's here. Sharpay's here. Okay, focus. Get this. Okay. Let's go, Kels. Deep breath, because they're all Wildcats, right? There's no way Sharpay's a holy terror. Not with the fairy world. Right. ...Right? ]

Sharpay! Sharpay, over here.

[ Come sit with her before she chickens out and just sinks into her chair and hides forever. ]

[fabulosa]

[She knows that sound. Eyes raise slowly from her inspection of her straightener and rest on the mousy brunette her twin seems ridiculously attached to.

Giving a tight smile, she crosses over to her, putting on the best enthusiastic face she can muster. Until she got a little bit more of a solid footing here, she needed everyone she could wrap around her finger.]

Oh my god, Kelsi! It's so good to see you!

[How far does she want to push this? Should she hug her? SIGH everyone has to make sacrifices every now and then...

There you go, Kelsi, have a hug from Sharpay before she settles in next to her.]

I didn't know anyone else was here. It's so good to see a familiar face.

[playmakings]

Yeah! Yeah. [ She accepts that hug willingly and full of trust--innocent until proven guilty, after all, and Kelsi feels like she's grown a lot in what little she could in the summer, and her first semester in Julliard.

Well. Grown in the metaphorical sense. Sadly, not the physical.

Never the physical.

One day, Kelsi will be the tallest girl in town, okay. It's something she's working at, okay? ]

Oh my gosh--so you know Ryan's here--and everyone's here--it's a little scary? But it's also really sort of fun, except for the war stuff--but that's okay because I'm sort of trying to focus more on how to make everyone else happy, like how Twinkle Towne really was a hit and so now that you're hear, you can help out like you were going to with the drama club when I last saw you, and--

[fabulosa]

[Aha ha haha ha... ha. Yeah, this isn't worth it anymore. She's tuned her out after 'sort of fun' and there's a hand going at 'drama club' with a sigh before she slaps the smile back on.]

You are just so excited.

[And soooo enthusiastic about Creeptown.]

It's adorable. Really.

[Not.]

So............ Are you working on a new musical yet?

network;

[basketballer]

Sharpay?

You're here too?

network;

[fabulosa]

[There's a frantic effort to attempt to put herself somewhat together before she responds. She definitely wants to look her best... Or at least attempt to with everything that's happened.

There's a bit of a delay before she responds, hair extra fluffed and lips retouched with a high shine gloss.]

Troy! I can't believe we're stuck here together. Have you talked to any other the others?

[Is she hoping that Gabriella isn't there? Maybe. Sort of. Okay - totally.]

[basketballer]

A little, yeah. They told me that there were fairies here and they were having a war or something-- [He puffs out some air, looking overwhelmed.] Mostly I just feel like someone hit me in the head really hard.

Are you okay?

[fabulosa]

[She nods a little emphatically, letting her lower lip pout ever so slightly. The question earns a well placed sniffle as she turns away from the locket, hair drifting in front of her face before she looks back at him.]

It's -

[A small cringe.]

I'll be okay, don't worry about me. I-is Gabriella here?

[There's only one way to find out.]
