As you enter, you notice that the center of the shop has been temporarily redecorated to hold its grand re-opening event. Couches and loveseats have been added around the store, as well as small, round tables filled with refreshments and snacks for the guests. The counter still sits at the heart of the shop, but several small gift bags, containing a number of products samples, have been added to it. All guests are invited to take one gift bag of beauty goodies to try out the new products. There are three different types of bags, a pink, a purple, and a white one, and all contain assorted products. The pink one contains: Bronze Me Golden, Not-so-sleeping beauty, Lash Blast Potion, Rapunzel Rapunzel, Flavour Changing Lip gloss by Ellsberry; The purple one contains: Humidity Immunity Potion, Perfect Vision Potion, Sunburn Unburn, Isphere Spectrum, Skin-Brightening Foundation Potion by Ellsberry; And finally the white one contains: Porcelain Perfect potion, Pimple Poofer, Heat Protection Potion, Hair colour changing potion, Gallerina Nail polish by Ellsberry. Feel free to look over them and choose whichever one you want!
At the center of the counter there is a large cauldron filled with beauty potions, enough of them to last for a whole year. If you're interested in it, ask the shopkeeper or her assistant about a raffle ticket. You might just be the lucky one to win enough potions to turn an entire hag colony into veelas. The aisles with all of the products are still easily accessible on the sides for people to browse through them, which they are encouraged to do. In the very back of the shop, against the magical beauty emergencies room, a podium has been added with two small displays, one on each side of the podium, with the name Ellsberry on it, containing several different products and small samples. For now, everyone is encouraged to come in, mingle, ask questions, and look around. The shopkeeper is standing by the front door awaiting her special guests...
OOC: List of special guests: Ellsworth Bott Toussaint (Cassirin), Celandine Kettleburn (Tegz), Neptune Bott (Mad Eye Touz), Evolette McKenna Ellerby (Colley ♥), Indigo Bunbury (BanaBatGirl), Hecate Lafay (Droo), Alexander Greingoth (Anna Banana), and Aliceara Jessamyn Ravenswood (SilverTiger). Please do not RP any of the special guests or the shopkeepers.
Kyleigh didn't know she had broken his revere about france and really - she herself would have loved to travel to Barcelona or any of the wonderful cities in Spain. When she noticed his concerned look she couldn’t help but smile.
“Honestly - it wasn’t all bad...other than hearing a voice in your head for a few weeks it was perfectly normal. Only thing that changed really was that I was no longer dreadfully clumsy” she admitted sheepishly. She was the girl who had face planted in the middle of the great hall when walking over to thank one of her favorite Professors at the end of term feast.
That was classy. “Honestly - it was my own curiosity that got me in the whole mess - that and I tripped into a pile of rope. If I hadn’t tripped I’d probably still be here today but with far less interesting memories because of it” she admitted with a laugh.
“Oh - if you want you can call me Ky or Kyle...its odd but people’ve called me it since I was a little girl” maybe it was because they had thought she was going to be a boy when she was born? She had no clue. But the name had stuck with her like it was glued there permanently.
Ah-Achoo. Her nearly-silent squeak of a sneeze wasn't the best thing for a fragrant store. Maybe it was too much for her? She didn't know very well. "Excuse me" she looked around quickly to make sure no one - specifically the special guests were offended that someone dared to sneeze in their presence.

She knew she was running late. If she'd fully been back into her model and actress mode, which honestly was the reason she was one of the special guests at the re-opening, Aliceara would have simply seen it as making a fashionably late entrance. It still was, in a way, but she hadn't been late just to be late. No, she'd been late because she'd had to make sure every customer in Madame Malkin's was taken care of and on their way out, as she had a feeling Camelia was going to want to stop in here at some point as well and she didn't have the heart to tell her assistant that she had to wait until the normal closing time for the robe shop. Just as she had known that she herself couldn't stay past normal closing time, as it would probably look bad if she'd been that late to the event. A bit late worked, but she'd been asked to attend, so not showing up until the end was unacceptable.
Glancing around as she'd slipped into the shop, she noted that in fact she was the last of the special guests to arrive, which nearly made her flush. She avoided it by sheer will, and simply looking around to see who she could identify. Besides the new shopkeeper, who had taken over the shop from Milton, and the Minister and his wife. It rather seemed, listening to several conversations as she passed the people having them, that the event was more turning into a Ministry event than one for Primpernelle's, and for the others who had been requested to make an appearance. That wasn't entirely surprising, in an odd way. There was always security at big events, and this certainly was one.

This was a nightmare, a potpourri-smelling, female-laden nightmare. With stoic determination, he approached his sister, offered her a hand, and gave her a firm, "Congratulations."
...oh right. Here's why Dell Bott was here. He adjusted his tie at once.
Layla took some time to look around the shop. There were lots of new products which she was all too eager to try out.She wasn't ready to buy just yet and decided to use the time to..mingle a little. She was in excellent company after all.
Turning towards the door the woman spotted the handsome and ever well dressed Dell Bott, immaculate as always. She wasn't sure whether to wave or walk over, so she offered him a nod and a smile, especially since he was talking to his sister.
She could wait her turn.

Right, her eyes lingered on Weddell a little but she managed to tear them away to look around her at the other faces in the groups of people gathered there. The minister of magic himself, along with his wife and the transportation department head. She made a bee line for that group after her boss acknowledged her.
"Good day Minister, Mrs.Greingoth, Miss Grey.." She gave a curtlittle nod in all their directions.
For the life of her, Layla couldn't remember ever personally meeting the minister's wife.

FINALLY this shop was open again. She had walked past it every day, hoping for some sort of sign or announcement as to when it would open its doors again. And today was the day. And the best thing was that she could actually spend all day here because she was here for work. As long as nothing happened she could just enjoy the day. Not that she really expected anything to go wrong today. Hopefully she would be right.
Alysson glanced around the room with a quite content smile on her lips as she tried to spot all the VIPs Wesley had mentioned. Because a. those were the ones she was here for and b. she wanted to SEE them. Heh. Everything seemed to look normal though so there shouldn't be too much to do for her. Not right now anyway. Which meeeaaaantt that she could go around looking at stuff. And talk to people.
René was still pondering on which bag to take. Hair or eyes. She didn't even care about the other things inside the bag. Hmm...
She tore her attention away from the bags and looked over at the woman who had spoken to her. "You think?" she asked. René took a strand of green hair and held it between her fingers. It wasn't dyed so it was totally not damaged. She charmed it to change from its original color. "I guess it would save me some time each morning from charming my hair," she said, thoughtfully.
The witch looked at the woman when she commented her work place. "Yes I do," she said, nodding with a smile on her face. "Sugarplums Sweet Shop where you can find the finest candy in Diagon Alley." It was true...mostly because it was the ONLY sweet shop in Diagon Alley.
René's fingers played with her green beaded purse while the woman's eyes raked her. Was there something on her face?
Paris smirked, "Of course I don't make idle comments." she told her. Paris knew people dyed their hair and charmed it to change colors, but she never understand the outlandish colors. She never found anyone who looked good with their hair done like that. And this girl was not an exception. "Ahh so this color wasn't an accident." She pondered.
She hated to see pretty girls leave the house looking like something a hippogriff drug through the mud. The girl could be a knockout if she dressed like an adult and not a petulant child. "Oh don't look so scared. You look perfectly put together." The girl looked like she was about to puke on Paris' shoes. "Though you could look better." They were after all in a beauty shop. Maybe the girl would let Paris do something with her finger paint hair.
Paris nodded, she thought she remembered seeing the girl lurking around the shop when she was there with Israel. "Do you like your job. Working in a little shop with sweets all day?" Her bother Diggy worked in the experimental candy department for Willy Wonka. "The smell alone would drive me insane and I'm not sure I could keep my hands off the merchandise." She smiled.

At this point, Alexander couldn't decide if he wanted to intervene between the two women, turn and walk away, or stand there and hope for a catfight. All three scenarios seemed equally amusing to him, and in the end, he found himself standing there right next to the two women, waiting on that catfight to begin. Too bad Grey would end up in the hospital over that one. She was a pretty decent department head.
His wife's 'hmm' only confirmed his thoughts were true. After nearly a lifetime of knowing this woman, he could tell by just the tone in her voice when she was reaching her boiling point. Alexander busied by looking around the establishment while his wife and the Grey woman chatted away. He only turned back when he heard Hecate question about...well, someone. "Hmm?" ... "Who?" he asked, having the slightest clue who his wife was referring to. Realizing she was referring to the man slowly making his way to them. "Oh, him? No, never seen him." Smirking in amusement, he added, "Although I think we're being followed."
Alexander's eyebrows narrowed inward at the Grey woman's words. What in Hades had gotten into her, hmm? "Hmm," he said in a disinterested tone. "To each his or her own, I suppose." If his wife used beauty products, he'd never seen her. He was quite certain she didn't, though, and he was more attracted to her than any woman in this room right now.
The talk between Grey and his wife continued, so Alexander turned his attention back to the room as a whole. Was that Dacosta he saw? So it was. He grinned and gave a nod of acknowledgment.

Darn it!
Her attempts to talk with the Minister in a flirtatious tone were being thwarted not only by the man's wife but by the fact that he seemed to be very hands off when it came to his personal space bubble and his first name rule. "I suppose so. But I definately think that your being here, despite your personal preference for natural beauty," she said gesturing to Madame Lafay there beside him who seemed to be passing up the anti-aging potions, "is great for you image. Showing the public that you are a supporter of bringing businesses back to the Alley and strengthening the economy are surely going to boost your approval rates." Definately a smart decesion. He was such a good minister, that was for certain.
Why would Mrs. Lafay not enjoy her post at Hogwarts, did she hate children or something? "Oh well, I'm sure when you leave you will have many other options to persue." She was obviously a talented potion maker. Perhaps she could work here since the shopkeeper had offered her the oportunity to sell potions here.

When Inez looked away from the Minister and his wife to take another look towards the modeling group on the other side of the shop, a woman who seemed to be heading in there direction caught her eye and a sense of recognition came across her face as she greeted the three of them.
"Dacosta, right?" Inez said with a nod. Yes, this woman changed from her department, she remembered reading through her personnel folder. A great employee. "How are you doing today? Enjoying yourself?"

And look at more stuff.
Oh a Magical Law Enforcement employee!
Inez had heard that Evander was going to have some of them here as security to protect the higher up ministry officials like the Minister and herself and also to watch out for the various celebrities that were VIPs. Such good work shouldn't go unappreciated.
"Excuse me, Miss." Inez, tapped the woman's shoulder, who she had recognized from level two and smiled at her. "Dear I would just like to thank you for your services today and let you know we deeply appreciate what you are doing for us."
There was no telling what could happen here today, the Ministry of Magic itself had been invaded a few months back so security was of vital importance.
Paris smirked, "Of course I don't make idle comments." she told her. Paris knew people dyed their hair and charmed it to change colors, but she never understand the outlandish colors.

Her bother Diggy worked in the experimental candy department for Willy Wonka. "The smell alone would drive me insane and I'm not sure I could keep my hands off the merchandise." She smiled.
René nodded. Of course, of course. She then tilted her head to the side and side viewed her hair. "It was when I was seventeen, but it grew on my as well as other colors," she said honestly. René LOVED colors. It was a way to express her artistic channel that she hid. And she also liked standing out because being normal was too boring for her.
She wasn't scared just...nervous? But she nodded either way and smiled. "Thank you. I don't normally wear dresses, but I thought this occasion called for it." Yep, she was going to wear a pair of jeans, a shirt and her boots, but thought better of it. René raised her eyebrows and then got that thoughtful expression on her face again. "Well, I was going to go with blue instead of green...maybe I should have chosen the first," she said. Although, she felt green today.
At the woman's next statement René nodded her head fervently. "I do," she said, smiling from ear to ear. "Although, I am tempted to snag a few sweets now and then," she said with a sheepish grin. She was so guilty on that. Especially with the jumping gummy bears display.

They tempted her ALL day.
Paris tapped a slender finger against her cheek in deep thought. "You do seem to have a sense of clumsiness about you in that dress. And I find that as long as I dress to be comfortable in my own skin I feel all the more pretty for it. A nice pair of cigarette pants and a solid color shirt would have fit the bill nicely. You have the legs to wear a pair of cigarette brilliantly by the way." She commented. The girl had the height to make pants look really good. Paris wore dresses and skirts more because she was short. Pants just make her look shorter and more childlike.
"Well I love color too." As evident by the blonde crop she was sporting today. "But it has to match your skin tone. This color makes you look a bit peaky. A strawberry blond would give you that rosy cheeked look. And then you can use your clothes to express your love of color." She wasn't trying to be cruel. If she were doing that the girl would be in tears. But honestly she was entirely too pretty to be walking around looking the way that she did.
She reached into her purse and pulled her wand out. "Do you mind if I try something. Nothing permanent I promise." Her mouth was quirked up at the corners in a smile.
Paris nodded, "My brother works for Willy Wonka. He is forever sending me sweets. Its bad enough my daughter is a tiny tornado in her own right. I don't need her hyped up on sugar as well." She told her. Israel already had a unhealthy obsession with sweets and she was barely two.

"You may not." She said calmly. Why did children think they could call her by her first name once they graduated... "I see. Your sister has a very good line..." She said noticing the name everywhere.
Neptune shrugged. She'd have requested to be called Miss Bott since Hecate wasn't feeling up to being friends, but she'd already done that so... no matter. "I know," Neptune gushed. "You should buy one of everything. And then tell Ellsworth you bought it because I told you to." Yep.

"Thank you, yes," he nodded, scratching below his right ear. He hardly considered being a stenographer for the Wizengamot something risky. But oh well."Hmm Legend Chosen...sounds familiar. Perhaps I've seen him a couple of times but I haven't ever spoken with him." He shrugged.
The Spaniard wondered how long he would have to stay inside the shop. He wasn't sure he could last much longer without some fresh air. Tugging at the neck of his dress robes, he smiled brightly as she giggled. "The pleasure is all mine, Miss Bott." However his smile faltered a little. She was persistent! "I s'pose so. . . " he acquiesced, though he hoped she realized he wouldn't likely buy anything.
He supposed so? Good enough for Neptune! She flitted off and came back with some Fairy Lights Glitter Potion by Ellsberry. Neptune gave that GIRL he was speaking to a look - a and you are? kind of look. This Bott was busy.
"Okay, Rodrigo - roll up your sleeves!"

"You're never intruding. Make sure you give Neptune your love before you leave." Because he wouldn't stay long. He was Weddell Bott.
....
"And this is my brother." She grabbed Dell's arm again and pulled him in close. "Dell, this is Paris Greenwood. Or is it Paris Ritchie now?"
Dell cast another casual glance around, seemingly looking for the other Bott present. "What is she doing?" He wasn't an expert on women and their ways, but Dell was even worse with knowing what his sisters were doing. Was she putting glitter on a man? Hmm.
At least it wasn't him.
He turned around again, putting his pleasant mannerisms on like a glove. "Hello," he greeted Ellsworth's... friend? Person. He gave her a curt, but not unfriendly nod. His attention was back to Ells for a moment, who... she wasn't clingy, but she was something there at his arm. "Are you feeling okay?"

Well that was a relief. She saw him, he'd come as she mentioned, and here he was. Dell wouldn't have to awkwardly inform her of his presence. He returned the smile and adjusted his cuff length.

She picked up a flute of Nettlewine and circled the room again. Looking at the potions and shoes on display. Some of it was cute to say that least. Something she would let her daughter play with, but never wear or use seriously.
Paris stopped to look at the hair color potion and her eyes were drawn to a wispy little thing standing near one of the displays. "Oscar, Dolce and Jacobs oh my." She said walking over to the woman. "Please tell me where you found Dolce Mary Janes." Though pale pink wasn't her color the shoes were gorgeous.
Oooh. Someone liked her shoes? Well, maybe it had been a good choice to wear them today. Ella had had to make sure that she looked pretty, seeing as she worked in a shop that sold beautifying potions. Would kind of defeat the purpose of the potions if she didn't look pretty. Ella smiled, glancing down at her shoes. They were rather pretty. She loved them. But she was careful to not wear them too often, because she really didn't want to ruin them. They had been a present after all. And she was pretty sure that Viktor would not approve of her ruining the shoes.
"Ooh..." Ella giggled, glancing from her shoes up at the woman. "They were a present from my boyfriend." Viktor really was a super awesome boyfriend. The pale pink shoes kind of matched the hot pink highlights she had in her hair. Ella did kind of like matching things together. But maybe they should move the conversation back to the potions. That was why they were both her of course. Hopefully. "Do you need anything?" Ella was here to help after all.

Paris nodded looking down at the shoes, "Well tell him he has exquisit taste." She only had one pair of Dolce mary janes in black. She would love to have them in another color, but she could never find them. "And this Oscar dress is totally vintage. It fits you like a glove I must say." The girl did look well put together.
Paris giggled, "Do I really look like someone who needs help in the beauty department?" And even if she did she certainly wouldn't do it in public. "Besides I'm Paris Greenwood and I am quite sure my potions factory carries all the basics." she informed the girl.
Paris was simply here for the party and to support a fellow female entrepreneur. She was not in the market for anything other than a good time while Israel was in Ghana with her mother and aunts.
Honestly, did she need another Witch Weekly cover to get her name back out there? That thought vexed Paris deeply. She didn't like people not knowing who she was on sight. Her sweet sixteen party landed her on the front page of the Daily Prophet for Merlin's sake.

Arya grinned, secretly proud that even after a few months of being graduated and lots of traveling, she still managed to guess right at the names of her class... er, former classmates. "I've got no complaints." Did she ever? Heh. "Still enjoying what's left of the summer." The young woman wasn't confused as to why their were so many people flooding into the shop, but she was amused by the blood woman. There was something vaguely familiar about her features, but Arya couldn't quite place them...
And Ellie didn't complain about the tugging or put up a resistance of some kind, so Arya didn't stop. Not when she was obviously on a mini mission of sorts. "Hi!" Only when they reached Cela did she drop Ellie's hand to give the older girl a squishy hug greeting. "You look great." She always did. recent graduate pulled back and grinned brightly at Cela.
Ellie shrugged with a small smile. She didn't have any complaints either. Especially now that her life was getting just SO much better. Bouncebounce. Ellie nodded a few times. "Me too. It went by too fast though. I've been way too busy." But it was nothing a little Primpernelle's couldn't fix, right? Right!
Maybe. Because she still didn't know what was going on. So, she kind of just stood there awkwardly waiting for some sales pitch about a beauty potion of some kind. From... anyone. Anyone? Ellie didn't know what was going to happen. HALP.

Only thing that changed really was that I was no longer dreadfully clumsy” she admitted sheepishly. She was the girl who had face planted in the middle of the great hall when walking over to thank one of her favorite Professors at the end of term feast.
That was classy. “Honestly - it was my own curiosity that got me in the whole mess - that and I tripped into a pile of rope. If I hadn’t tripped I’d probably still be here today but with far less interesting memories because of it” she admitted with a laugh.
“Oh - if you want you can call me Ky or Kyle...its odd but people’ve called me it since I was a little girl” maybe it was because they had thought she was going to be a boy when she was born? She had no clue. But the name had stuck with her like it was glued there permanently.
Ah-Achoo. Her nearly-silent squeak of a sneeze wasn't the best thing for a fragrant store. Maybe it was too much for her? She didn't know very well. "Excuse me" she looked around quickly to make sure no one - specifically the special guests were offended that someone dared to sneeze in their presence.
As Kyleigh spoke of the Pirate Ship incident, Rodrigo nodded along. He took his hands out of his pockets and comfortable crossed his arms across his chest. He took a deep breath, which turned into a rough cough. Bent double, he coughed into his arm before standing up, his eyes stinging with wetness.
"Acgh- sorry!" he said. He coughed a couple of more times before responding to Kyleigh. "I like Kyleigh. But if you'd like, I'll call you Kyle." He nodded. It was odd to call a woman by a predominantly male name, but who was he to judge?
He then heard a squeak and then an apology from Kyleigh. Perplexed, he stared at her.
"Was that you?" he asked, trying hard not to chuckle. Such a strange sound!

Rodrigo regretted his decision almost immediately. He could tell by Neptune's excitement that he was going to be simply tortured with various cosmetic supplies that shouldn't be tested on a simple man like himself. He watched her rush off and seriously contemplated running away. But, being the gentleman that he was, he stayed and allowed himself to be tortured the subject to Neptune's fancy. When she returned, he stared at the bottle of glittering liquid. His eyebrow arched, he looked at Neptune.
"Err...what is that?" He asked her, hestitant on rolling up his sleeve. "Is that even made for men to use?" He shook his head, but ended up reluctantly pulling the right sleeve of his dress robes up to the elbow and holding out his arm for her.

"Dacosta, right?" Inez said with a nod. Yes, this woman changed from her department, she remembered reading through her personnel folder. A great employee. "How are you doing today? Enjoying yourself?"
Layla smiled and nodded, then she extended her hand to the woman for a shake."Yes it is. Layla Dacosta." Funny, if it hadn't been for the promotion Layla would probably be working for this very woman. She seemed nice enough and more importantly, she didn't appear to be involved in any sort of cult business.
Still Transportation held a lot of baggage for her..like her feud with her sister Dacs. Still she was certain the relationship between Law enforcement workers and transportation workers had gotten a whole lot better since the cult take down.
"I'm doing well ma'am and yourself?" Polite as always."I am. I'm actually quite impressed with everything here." She looked around again.

Well that was a relief. She saw him, he'd come as she mentioned, and here he was. Dell wouldn't have to awkwardly inform her of his presence. He returned the smile and adjusted his cuff length.
Playing with his links, adjusting his suit as usual, odd but slightly endearing. She knew he would probably never come over and say hi because of 'how it would look' or something weird like that so she walked over to him.
A twenty-six year old woman playing eyesies was just weird. The worst he could do was act like a total stranger to her and if he did she would just play along with it.
"Hi. I see you made it." SHe offered him a smile and the others he was with as well. "care to look around with me?"

Kyleigh couldn't help but smile when he said he liked her name - not many people had said that to her recently. Really - her full name was probably best since that was what she was planning on using when she applied to work in the ministry.
It was almost shocking that her former housemate Neptune didn’t recognize her. But then again it wasn’t. Neptune was Neptune - she didn’t seem to pay attention to meek little Kyle when she was back at school - then again the most attention she had gotten was when she was falling, tripping, or running into things.
“I actually rather like that” she smiled and couldn’t help but chuckle when he inquired about the sneezing. “Ah yes, I well, I sneezed?” She admitted with a smile.
When Neptune returned with the glittering potion she couldn’t help but smile. However the look she had received just caused her to raise an eyebrow in return. Was it wrong to talk to a well, attractive guy? Really - and honestly Rodrigo was just, nice.
“Neptune Bott correct?” She smiled. “I’m Kyleigh Manning - I believe we were in the same house” she smiled over to her. What she was being given a who are you look. It wasn’t a BAD thing to introduce herself. Right?

Of course he had seen the note, but seeing as Simon was neither Hit Wizard or Patrol Wizard he wasn't required to added the grand opening event. And seeing as it was to the beauty supply shop, it certainly wasn't a place he would normally be anywhere near normally. But after some debating, the YATI decided to head there in that direction anyway. Maybe he could catch some pointers from the more experienced in the department that he didn't work with everyday.
So there he was entering the newly-reopened store, crowds clearly visible even outside of it but he had managed to make his way in. Simon did his best to blend in though he doubted anyone would pay him attention. Especially when he had already spotted several notable figures with the place including the minister and his wife.
Lafay...married again. When had that happened?
Returning his attention to meerly observing around him as he wandered as much as he could manage, Simon's gaze had passed to one display when he thought he saw someone he knew. He raised a curious eyebrow as he took a few steps more in the direction he had thought he saw her...Kyle if he wasn't imagining things.
Rodrigo regretted his decision almost immediately. He could tell by Neptune's excitement that he was going to be simply tortured with various cosmetic supplies that shouldn't be tested on a simple man like himself. He watched her rush off and seriously contemplated running away. But, being the gentleman that he was, he stayed and allowed himself to be tortured the subject to Neptune's fancy. When she returned, he stared at the bottle of glittering liquid. His eyebrow arched, he looked at Neptune.
"Err...what is that?" He asked her, hestitant on rolling up his sleeve. "Is that even made for men to use?" He shook his head, but ended up reluctantly pulling the right sleeve of his dress robes up to the elbow and holding out his arm for her.
"It's Fairy Lights Glitter Potion," Neptune answered, as if that was the most obvious thing in the world. She held up the bottle for Rodrigo to see and pointed at each word. Fairy. Lights. Glitter. Potion. "My sister invented it."
Without further ado, Neptune took his hand and extended his arm out. She dabbled potion dots ALL the way up his arm, then took care to rub it ALLLLLL in, from wrist to elbow. "Looooooooooook." Was he looking? "Oh how pretty. Don't tell me that's not pretty." GIGGLE. "I don't mind boys that are shiny." Just saying. "Want me to do the other arm?" Yes? GRIIIIINNNY GRIN GRIN! Neptune held his arm up over her head so EVERYONE could see the glitter and she went ahead and did a little spin under his arm, like they were dancing. Other arm noooooow?
He was totally buying Glitter Potion.

Neptune knew who she was. She just didn't understand why the girl was standing about instead of delving into samples and mingling. Or buying something. "Of course, Kyleigh. We lived together." Past tense. Neptune finished her little spin under Roderig's (unwilling?) arm and performed a little bow for Kyleigh. "How delightful to see you again. "

She gave Ell a little dip of her head. "Thank you." And it was sincere. Though they were rivals in business Paris admired Ell for taking the reins of her company and coming out on top. Very few woman could do that. "With the potions exchange going on I can't be in the lab as much as I would like. But afterwards I am doning the lab coat again. I miss it." She was surprised that she could admit that.
Paris giggled, "Oh its Paris Greenwood to be sure." And she was glad her divorce was going smoothly and quietly. She loved being the center of attention, but only for good things. She didn't want to air her dirty laundry.
Oh, MY. Ellsworth had been worried she wasn't fitting her dress properly, but what a compliment. In fact, she was certain her husband wouldn't approve of her snagging any bachelors at all, but after Paris's pronouncement that she was a Greenwood once again, it felt like bragging to say so. She opted for a demure, "I'll leave the bachelors to you. I can't manage anymore men in my life." Truth.
"I'm looking forward to whatever Greenwood Potions Factory comes out with next. Perhaps we should consider an exhibition of our own, entirely aside from Primpernelle's. A way for women businessowners to showcase their work."

"I'm well. I'm just so... I can't believe you came." And she grabbed at his arm again. Honestly, Dell hadn't exactly scorned her business venture, but he hadn't ever outright supported her until now. His being here was BIG.

"Hello, there. The shop looks lovely, doesn't it? Are you here looking for anything in particular, or have you just been missing Primpy's as much as we have while it was closed?" Her eyebrows rose in anticipation of the woman's response. Did she want glittering? Neptune would be better for that.

Weddell Bott turned to face Miss Dacosta properly, where he could offer her a hand in greeting. "I did," Mr. Bott ... confirmed. For those that might be unsure, Dell Bott was in the building. "Allow me to introduce you to my sister?" Yes? Okay, "Miss Dacosta, this is Ellsworth Toussaint and the main attraction this afternoon. Ellsworth, this is Layla Dacosta. She works in the Ministry here in London."
He looked between the two women, two small and separate worlds colliding before him. Dell cleared his throat before answering Layla. "I doubt I'd be very much help in this shop," Dell awkwardly tried to deflect the attention back to Ellsworth.

Oh a friendly sociable Bott. Layla would have expressed a bit more surprise at this but she figured she'd pick that bit up with Dell later. For now she was perfectly fine with discussing beauty potions with a celebrity.
"Oh yes it is. I love the remodeling." She looked around the shop again taking it all in. Of course she had done some remodeling of her own at Ollivanders earlier on in the summer. Bryce of course was less than enthused about that but the shop needed something new."I have missed this place. Actually I was looking to grab a a bottle of that Not-So-Sleeping beauty stuff. I haven't been able to get anything like it anywhere." Girl talk, she loved it.

A handshake? Right. She took his hand and gave him a firm handshake, like was her custom and smiled at him. Did he not know that a friendly hug was perfectly acceptable at a second meeting? Of course though this might just be another business venture for him, making contacts marketing, the whole nine yards."I'm happy to see you."
Layla offered her hand to the gorgeous young woman in front of her."It's a pleasure to officially meet you Miss Bott. Like I said this place looks great and I'm actually a fan of most of your stuff" See she could do without the sparkly stuff. That was not up her alley.
She chuckled quietly and looked at Dell."No..no I don't suppose you would be much help in a place like this."

But now SHE was holding out her hand to shake his. And asking for his name.
WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN?!
'Come on Riley, speak you idiot! Speak!!' The voice inside of his head was shouting at his stupidity. How could he freeze up in a moment as pivital as this one. He was meeting his idol for Merlin's sake. He had waited for this moment for years.
"Uh..hi. Miss Ellerby I'm R-Riley," the twenty-year-old cleared his throught, sounding more like himself before continuing. "Riley Sinclair, its a pleasure to finally meet you."
There was some sort of odd pause in which Evolette glanced over her shoulder to raise an eyebrow at Indigo. She knew she was HOT and all, but the child had forgotten his own name.
Oh yeah. She was hot.
Then, after a moment, he seemed to remember! "Well, Mr. Sinclair, it is lovely to meet you. I do adore my fans." She shook his hand politely and then clasped her hands together. "Are you interested in the fashion industry?" He had to be if he was talking to her, yes? Or maybe he just thought she was hot.
That suited her just fine.

Turning at the same time Evolette did, Indigo immediately hitched up his best camera for a few quick, sneaky shots. He caught the shock and adoration on Riley's face in a series of fast frames, then turned the camera on the calm and collected model/designer/businesswoman next to him.
Heh. He'd call this series "STARSTRUCK." Yesssss.
"Wonderful!" If there was such a thing as a child being almost as adorable as hers, it was Indigo's son and that was for sure. She smiled at the man, "Thank you for that invite, but I should be getting back home as soon as we're done here. I miss my boys already." And it had only been like... an hour since she'd left. Sigh.
"Are you planning on staying for a while?"
Just curious. She liked to think that Indigo and Kae were friends as well as employees.
And of course, she turned on the charm for the pictures.

"You're welcome. And it's Mrs. Toussaint." Because she was married, see? Bott was the maiden name, Toussaint was the married, and both were equally important to her.
Evolette caught the glance and shrug from Ellsworth and smiled, then she blew a kiss to the woman. Hehe. Nice to see ya.

Evolette spotted Neptune enter shortly after she had and she returned the wave that the girl had sent over. Lovely girl, that one.

And, as always, Dell wasn't particularly verbose or clear in sharing his thoughts. It was shocking sometimes, to realize that he was a talented business man in his own right. Especially when he couldn't even seem to accept gratitude like a normal person.
"You will. Lots of explaining," Ells agreed with a pert nod before turning to greet Miss Dacosta. How did Dell know someone who worked at the Ministry of all places??

No, she'd been late because she'd had to make sure every customer in Madame Malkin's was taken care of and on their way out, as she had a feeling Camelia was going to want to stop in here at some point as well and she didn't have the heart to tell her assistant that she had to wait until the normal closing time for the robe shop. Just as she had known that she herself couldn't stay past normal closing time, as it would probably look bad if she'd been that late to the event. A bit late worked, but she'd been asked to attend, so not showing up until the end was unacceptable.
Glancing around as she'd slipped into the shop, she noted that in fact she was the last of the special guests to arrive, which nearly made her flush. She avoided it by sheer will, and simply looking around to see who she could identify. Besides the new shopkeeper, who had taken over the shop from Milton, and the Minister and his wife. It rather seemed, listening to several conversations as she passed the people having them, that the event was more turning into a Ministry event than one for Primpernelle's, and for the others who had been requested to make an appearance. That wasn't entirely surprising, in an odd way. There was always security at big events, and this certainly was one.
After about an hour of just standing there and feeling out of place getting a feel for the situation, Roxanne decided that it was time for her to mingle. She spotted another person who seemed to be doing the same wallflowering she had just been doing and decided to just go up and introduce herself. "Hello, I'm Roxanne Carter. Lovely little place this is, isn't it?" she said, with a friendly smile. Or at least she thought so. What she could see of it through the crowd, anyway.

“Neptune Bott correct?” She smiled. “I’m Kyleigh Manning - I believe we were in the same house” she smiled over to her. What she was being given a who are you look. It wasn’t a BAD thing to introduce herself. Right?
So she wanted him to call her Kyleigh. Rodrigo made a mental note of that and smiled when she admitted she had sneezed. He chuckled before lowering his arms.
"I was only joking," he said, with a few more chuckles. But he turned back to Neptune when Kyleigh finally spoke to her. He sensed an awkwardness between the two, but did not want to start anything. "You two know each other then?" He realized he should have made more friends when he attended Hogwarts.

Rodrigo's eyes went cross-eyed as Neptune shoved the bottle of Fairy Lights Glitter Potion. So it was GLITTER? Rodrigo was not a man who wore glitter. His mouth hung open slightly as she rubbed the vile potion into his right arm.
"Wait-err-that's enou-" he couldn't believe it. He was bewildered. And did she mention that Ellsworth was her sister? It all made sense to the Spaniard now. Of course Neptune would try her hardest to sell her sister's products. Well, as kind as that was for her to do, he wasn't going to waste galleons on stuff he'd never use. But what exactly was she trying to do? Make him look like a vampire from Twilight. He stood there, disgruntled as she raised his arm for everyone to see. She then proceeded to twirl underneath his shimmering arm, like they were dancing!
"Why. . . thank you, Neptune. . . " he said slowly, his face flushed with chagrin. "[b]Oh no, that wouldn't be necessary." he said, shoving his left hand into the pocket of his robes. "Do you-er-have anything less. . . flamboyant?"
