[The winter's taken its toll on Phoebe. It's dark, cold, snowy and she's had to moisturize four times a day just to keep her skin from cracking. All that wears on a girl's spirits after a while. She grabs her journal and dictates (Only sounding slightly whiny...)]

Ugh. I'm so done with winter. Really. I'm from California! We're not made to handle snow. This dry air alone is just ruining my skin.

[She sighs as she slathers more moisturizer on her hands and arms]

You know what I haven't had in ages? A spa day. You know, manicures, facials, the whole nine yards! Oh that just sounds too good right now. Anyone know of someplace here where a girl could get a little TLC? Better yet, any of you ladies out there want to join me for a girl's night out?

((ooc: Open over the journals to start. I'll put up a thread if there are any takers for her spa day :D Come join her!.))

[interpersonally]

Is it that you dislike the cold?

[kungfuwitch]

[There's a voice she hasn't heard in a while]

I'm from San Francisco, the land of 55 degree winters. [She chuckles] So, yeah, not so much a fan of snow.

[interpersonally]

[it's been a long few months, Phoebe]

I always did like the Winter. Staying inside, staying warm - it's romanticized during the Winter. [ he's having one of those deeper nights, Phoebe. sorry ] There's still the seasons room. You could visit on a beach day. I should visit on a beach day.

[kungfuwitch]

[She was also warned to stay away from you, you know, Stefan... but she's always toed the line and, well, what's the harm in talking?]

Oh, believe me, I've gone to the beach about once a week. It's nice, but it's no substitute for walking on the grass, seeing leaves on the trees...

[interpersonally]

[oh, so another adoring fan]

...You know what they say? Spring's right around the corner?

[bro_codebreaker]

[man, a pedicure sounds REALLY GOOD right about now. ... Barney bites his lip, vaguely jealous, but he'll play it casual]

Hey, Phoebs, what up.

[kungfuwitch]

Not much, Barney. Tired of the snow... ready to spend some time in the sun outside the Seasons Room... trying to find a better moisturizer...

You?

[bro_codebreaker]

All of the above, really. [he says it like he didn't just admit to using moisturizer, then jumps RIGHT into the next topic] Winter's usually out of here pretty close to now, though. I give it two weeks, tops. In like a lion, bla bla bla.

[kungfuwitch]

I wasn't here last Spring, is the change as, well, sudden as Fall and Winter were?

[bro_codebreaker]

I ... actually kinda fell asleep, last year. [because there was a kid-stealing creeper in the midst of the onset of spring] But when I woke up the snow was gone and it was totally spring, so. Yeah.

[molecules]

I keep wishing for it to go away. I miss the heat.

[kungfuwitch]

Ugh me, too. I mean, the Seasons Room helps but it's no substitute for the real thing.

Tell you what - when we get some sunny days we should do some serious sunbathing.

[molecules]

How about you do some sunbathing and I'll just keep you company? You know that's not really my thing.

[kungfuwitch]

[She laughs] Could do that. Bring an umbrella for you to sit under.

[molecules]

A really big one. Maybe the size of a planet.

I've always wanted to wear one of those really large hats, too. You know the ones with the really wide brims? They're stylish.

[wishmadeinfire]

I would think you would have had enough of that when we were locked in the rooms. Those things were available, weren't they?

_{[Not to mention he was sure Felix would have joined you, dear.]}

[kungfuwitch]

Well, yeah, but there's a difference between giving yourself a manicure and getting one from a professional. [She chuckles]

Would you like to join me?

[wishmadeinfire]

I suppose I can. I do, after all, owe you thanks for not corrupting my fiance to much.

[kungfuwitch]

Mmm if I remember correctly I also said I'd corrupt you in return. [she laughs]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He laughed at that.]}

Now now, Phoebe. I think you caused the poor thing distress enough, no need to add to it by tossing me back in such a way.

[arealwoman]

What kind of girl's night out? [ She figures she should check before automatically ruling herself out ]

[kungfuwitch]

Oh whatever happens. Depends on who's interested. A little makeover, maybe some dancing if we can find a place downtown. [She pauses] Or maybe just a nice quiet break at Caritas or something.

[arealwoman]

I like the quiet break.

[kungfuwitch]

Quiet breaks are nice once in a while. Why? What do you like to do for fun?

[arealwoman]

I'm starting to figure that out. [ She knew some things but being demanded a lot at work? Oh it didn't give all too much time for it ]

Darts, shopping, saying whatever I can think of about my boss. [ And there was a lot of that ] It's more relaxing than you'd think.
