"No doubt she is delusional!" she says pushing Cythi into the dressing room again. This time with more skin tight stretchy things that make her blush. Yet she knows they are exactly what the other women wear today.

"Try those on while I sort this stuff." Virginia works on a sordid pile of things. "This is some remarkable stuff. This is like Hollywood thrift store stuff!"

"Do not fret over that girl. This is how you deal with it. Ignore it! If you do not like it, leave. I will leave with you. No one can stop you. You are a grown woman now. Out in the real world. No one can tell you what to do. You have rights! And now a friend!"

After a moment she addds. "Wonder what her story is? She might actually need your help. Not even know it."

Cythi tries stuff on and goes back and forth and did not notice that the room had a dress in it she liked from likely a previous person and puts that on as well as putting a bunch of the stuff aside but comes out to show the one she found.



"What do you think of this?"  She says actually liking it and checking it out in the mirror.

"This place is really cool I will agree."

"No on her.  I am not sure what yet.  For now I think it is safer I do as little interaction as possible.  Perhaps another chance but one that I won't be blindsided by."  She tries to attain some middle ground.  "And I am glad I have a friend now.  You right?"

"Yes Me! Is there an imaginary friend I am competing with...OOOOOH I LOVE THAT DRESS!" she replies. "YES! Plus this stuff", referring to a plastic push cart full.

"We can call a cab to get all this stuff back. Now let's go get what we really came for!"

"OK although I could just get us back and here again pretty quickly.  But likely that would be an abuse of powers."  She says as she looks at the pile of stuff and decides that it is likely worth it.  "I will get it all but should I change out or should we just it on?"  She says just as she spots more of these types of outfits and moves over to that area.  "I wonder if I should just put a couple more in."  She says as she sees some and toss them in without checking much other than the tag size.  Once there is a selection equal to what Virginia picked out, "Should I get some footwear although these shoes are super comfy."

"Yes, the more you get the less space there is available for a 'roommate'!" Virginia says, glad to see Cythi finding a hint of a groove. "And you should definitely wear that out." She follows along pushing the cart from behind and grinning.

"I actually would not mind if I had a roommate as being by yourself as bad as this seems is scary to me a little still."  She admits.  "Ok then let us go pay that and get it home.  Should I teleport it there or use a cab?"

"You can do that? Well! While the thought of paying for a cab that has carried who knows what, probably been puked and peed in, driven by some seedy driver does sound especially glamorous ... I say we resist the urge to indulge in luxuries and simply teleport it back! Plus I want to see this again! This is not going to radiate me or something is it??"

Virginia imagines all the conveniences of being a teleporter. Late for work? Nope. Stuck in traffic? Nope. Urgent need go to the bathroom. Right here it is.

After they pay for the stuff, "No it should not irradiate you at all.  It is completely safe so long as I know exactly where I am going which in this case I am."  She offers her hand to see if Virginia wants to come with.  "Shall we?"

If she accepts she will teleport back to her room Virginia in tow, if not then she will teleport there drop stuff and back.

Virginia arrives with Cythi at the house in a burst of laughter!

"Shut up! That is the best power ever! I do not even feel dizzy or anything! Lets get these things put away so they do not wrinkle. And look at you being Miss Thang in that dress! You best be getting your mind ready, people are not going to let you play shy looking like that."

After it is all put away she hints that she wants to go back for ... ya know, that bacon!

In her room the room is spartan.  Beyond spartan actually.  It seems the only personal item that she has is the amulet around her neck.  When she opens her closet all that is in there is 3 barista outfits and one very worn dress.



"Yes I am lucky that way that it does not cause dizziness at all.  It is nice but other powers are cool too.  Still mine is pretty handy though."

"Now we should likely go get bacon but downside is I can only teleport to places I really have been so may have to walk the rest of the way."

Frontierland! That is exactly where that dress comes from, Virginia thinks!

"Well now, isn't that special?" she says. She slides it down the rod to the far end of the closet. "As much as I loved Little House on the Prairie you are in Emerald City now." She places the next item on a hanger and slides it down in front of that dress. "You need to be able to blend in. There is nothing wrong with that dress, it just does not belong HERE. PLUS, they are filming .... SOMETHING here. Not certain what that is now..." She places the next item in the closet and slides it over. "I need to be getting some clarification on that. I am not going to be made a pariah on some third rate show! But that is not the point. I am also not going to let that happen to my friends either. Which means, ... " the next thing goes in the closet "I am going to make sure you look good too! So you either trust me..." she bends over and grabs the next item, "or you don't! Which will it be?" Virginia stands there holding something risque from the pile waiting for her serious answer.

(OOC - I typed up a post here before I left work, guessing I missed hitting post...oh well)

Cythi responds, "I have no reason not to trust you as you are literally the only friend I have so far and in a far better position of understanding this world than I am.  That said I will gladly put on whatever it is you want me to wear."  She says grabbing the more risque item.  "Are you also going to change as I don't want to risk outshining you at all as that would not be fair for what you are trying to achieve here."  Cythi adds.

She then realizes something, "Just out of curiosity though.  I don't think I would blend in with those clothes.  I mean wouldn't the objective be to stand out to be noticed more?"  She asks almost curious now and a bit confused.

As Sandra watched the news she also surfed various web-sites reporting Meta-human crimes.  She was a dedicated super Heroine… and she took hunting down those who would abuse their powers or natural gifts for criminal activity that the modern law-enforcement were unable to deal with ~ Very Seriously!

She noted that the Sentinels had finally busted that Ghostworks Cell that she had jointly and quite accidentally uncovered in Emerald City.  Then she noted a picture posted by Princess on the Sentinel’s web page holding Death Magnetic bound up in… what looked like a fishing line?  No idea how Prin had accomplished that and smiled at how frustrated the magnetic manipulator ‘Death Magnetic’ looked hung by her heels in Princesses’ grip.  Sandra put a like to the pic and commented, “There’s a Princess inside Every young woman ~ except Death Magnetic… she’s just a bitch! Great Work Prin, love Tera!”

She then did a little more surfing about upcoming events in Emerald City… apparently ComicCon would be there this month and there was a report on preparations being made at the convention center … ~ then Sandra noticed something… unquieting.

She paused the fed and scrolled it back.  Then using the Communications sampling focused on one of the entrances to the convention center… and there she was. That was definitely “Aya”. Blonde hair, red hair band, sailorgirl’s school uniform, busty with over sexualized features.  One of ‘Dr. Otaku’s’ – Angel Androids.  It made sense a ComicCon would draw the Young reprobate Dr O’s playful and vicious genius to attack in some way.  “Lord” Takashi - Dr. Otaku often gets bored and that usually means innocent lives are at risk!

Sandra took a screen shot and sent it with a e-mail to the Sentinel’s hotline with the tag ~ "Dr. Otaku’s ~ Aya! This looks like Trouble, Good hunting!”

She leaned back in the chair sighed… a heroines work is never done.

Sandra considered she was still wearing just a bikini and decided she’d best go purchase some outfits and sundries to wear before it got too late in the day.

Shutting off the monitors she made her way back to her room, briefly looking into the exercise gym… before returning to her room…

Virginia pauses to think about what Cythi said. Her logic is sound but not good.

"No, not that!" She snatches back the risque item. "That is foooor ..... nevermind! Just keep trusting me and things will be alright. Of course you could always ask Goddess Blah Blah if you are unsure." She laughs and throws that item in the closet. "Oh!"

"I am not worried about you outshining me at all. You can even be the Queen Bee Supermodel if you want! I am just wanting to get my face out there. Find an actress role in a movie or something you know ... or hmmmm, you might not know. I tell you what, why don't you find some shoes to go with your lolita dress. And I will go do something with my hair."

Virginia goes back to her room for a quick wash up. She returns looking scampy in a mini dress and some Vans.

"All ready to go!"

"Oh heck no we will be avoiding her for a bit.   Besides I like you and trust you.  So I will continue trusting you."  She says before she leaves.


When Virginia does leave she goes into her closet which only has two pieces of footwear.  Some simple shoes that she bought for work.  They are simple and white and at the compound she had actual doc martins.  She looks between the two and figures the simple white shoes would be best and keeps them on.

When Virginia returns, "You look very nice.  I will likely have to find some shoes for this as I have but two pairs really."  She states.  "But yes we should go.  Do you want me to take us to where we were.  Just outside that store and we finish the journey to food?"  She asks holding out her hand.

Virginia looks confused as she could have sworn they had gotten some shoes. Seeing that somehow they did not make it into the little plastic shopping cart she replies "Yes! We should go back to the same place. We can get shoes there are some place else entirely. Does all this playing Figment tire you out or anything?" She makes an obscure reference to something that teleported at her previous job.

She takes Cythi's handing wondering if she should hold her breath or anything....

Cythi takes Virginia's hand and back to the shop they go.

Once in the store she starts to look around but pauses.  "OK I know bacon is prime so why don't you grab a couple pairs you think are good and I will find a few.  A divide and conquer as it were."  She suggests putting absolute faith in Virginia.

At that point Cythi goes back and sees if she can find some shoes she likes and it does not take long.

She finds a pair of Converse green in colour, and ....

"Well the 1860's sure filtered out of you fast! Kawaii? Combat Heels? Yes and yes."

Virginia tosses in some clogs, peep toes, and strap ankles giving her some choices for upscale events.

"It is a good start for the first morning. There is always tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow...."

She grins and begins thinking about the menu ahead of them...

Jalapeno Bacon Poppers
Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Double Decker BLT
The Bacon Bacon Cheddar Bacon Burger
Seasoned Bacon Wrapped Pickle Spears
A Side of Bacon

"I think you will pass as hip for today. Speaking of which, we will work on that walk next." She forwardly begins handling Cythi. "Chin up, yes like that. Now shoulders back. No, roll them like this." She demonstrates. "There you go, shoulders back. Keep your head up. Now hips foward. No, that is your tummy! Stop leaning backwards. This (indicating her shoulders) needs to line up with this (indicating her hips). How do you make that look uncomfortable?!" Once she finds alignment Cythi would feel stress points fade out.

"Ok ok, maybe we will do walking later. You need to work on standing for a few days." It is nothing new. Virginia has seen plenty of raw talent come in that needed refinement. She can work with it.

Cythi not sure what the song Virginia is singing as she is still getting familiar for TV and movies yet.  But she is happy with the acceptance of her choices.  "Ok tomorrow if needed we can get more.  But that makes me ask if I don't have enough already?"  She asks honestly as she runs the stuff up front and pays for it.

Then there is the walking lesson. Although the shoes she has on are hard enough as she switched to the bat shoes and put her other shoes in the bag that the clerk gives them.  She actually does find it uncomfortable as she was raised in a place where women were downtrodden and walking straight and up was punished as no mere woman should show confidence.  Still she gives it a go but manages to almost stumble but 5 times in like 1 mintue.

"We can practice later.  For now let us go get some food!"  She says actually feeling the hunger.

Sandra returned to her room the rainbow fractal pattern of lights shifting around the room from the window sill obelisk she'd left behind.  Going to the bed she lifted her shoulder bag and emptied some of it contents, alarm clock, travel toiletries {toothbrush, make-up set, lip-stick, deodorant, etc..}, cell phone, recharger, comb & brush... and set about placing them on nightstand or in washroom.

Draw out her laced shoulder shawl she placed it about her shoulders and once again tied her wrap around skirt at her waist ready to go purchase some additional clothing for this new residence other than the plain jeans and T-shirt she'd packed.  Sandra always liked to travel light... and purchase new clothing where she stayed..she hated dragging luggage after her.

She couldn't continue roaming about in just sandals and a bikini top & bottom.  Sun-hat back in place along with her shades and shoulder back on her arm... she gestured and a her stone surfboard of polished hematite formed like liquid quicksilver from thin air beside her.
Stepping onto the floating platform of near mirrored stone she consulted her cell phone GPS..and set course for the nearest fashion mall.

To her silent mental command the surf-board lifted and flew out the window picking up speed and altitude with a rush of wind current and zipped across the skyscape of the neighborhood and suburb.  By silent mental command Sandra kept the flying stone surf-board no higher than 50'ft as she raced along for the Pacific Rim Center on the southside of the Metropolis.

It did not take long for her to arrive flying at a average of 100mph as she descended to the main entrance it caused quite a stir among the shopping mall goers as she came in to land and stepped off the stone surfboard that just turned to vapor and dissipated, as she strode into the mall as if nothing out of the ordinary had taken place.  In this case her totally mundane dress did not keep an unexpected amount of attention other than perhaps folks wondering if she was feeling the chill in the air as she was more dressed for the beach than for Seattle weather.  There were several that had witnessed her arrival.. and quite a few followed her.  But she moved with a purpose and seemed exotic but perfectly normal to all who only saw her window shopping.

Sandra avoided the young girls fashions store preferring more mature fashions... eventually finding styles to her liking.

First a pair of Evening Gowns, an lovely Blue flowing gown with a deep but modest v-neck both front and back, and a black evening gown with a dazzling starfield pattern...



Sandra smiled they were perfect and worth every bit, which she used her cell phone app direct to her bank to pay for them.

She left the store and went to a more casual fashion store.. there were a lot of sports wear but did find a White Business Suit that was professional and still sexy and a pair of green leggings to set it off as well as a Anne Taylor Khaki Safari dress for field work. They didn't have a suitable Safari hat for the khaki Safari dress to some disappointment.



Sandra was quite pleased with the styles... simple modest but still lovely.  She did favor styles that left her legs free to move about the green leggings with the Business Suit a nice contrast in her opinion at least!

She left the girls fashion store also with three pairs of designer jeans for just casual dress... but wanted some T-shirts to got with them. She wanted something..unusual..and playful..

Cythi and Virginia are sitting at Bacon Incorporated having a great time. Special sauce is dripping from a handful of delicious pork decadence in Virginia's hand as she is trying to not choke while laughing about something Cythi said.

Suddenly she stops laughing, her mouth hangs open and her eyes are locked out the window.

"Aye caramaba,
I must disclose a
problem has flown up
Terranovae Craniopharyngioma
has gone over da border"

,she wraps out a forced rhyme then swallows her bite. "Crap Sandra Psychedelic is for real! She just flew over wearing nothing more than a sunhat. Good lord, I half thought she was just a drunk that had wondered in. She looked like she was riding a mirror. I think she landed ... well she was descending so a few blocks away I guess." She stares at Cythi and makes big plate eyes!

Cythi shudders at the announcement as she is enjoying her food as well although her order probably seemed a bit extreme ordering a bacon burger bacon plain with cheese only and nothing else and only if they had other cheese types like mozza, swiss or provolone and a side of bacon cheese fries but only if the same substitute could be applied and no gravy.

"Maybe she will not see us here?"  Cythi suggests even though she notices that they are being stared at and hoping not to many people outside notice the pair lest a crowd gathers there.

Much as she dreaded it Sandra made her way to the Young Women's fashion store... she could not fail to notice  that perhaps the news of her means of arrival has been spread around.. she was drawing looks.  Perhaps, it was just her exotic hair color and beech dress, but she just continued shopping ignoring the looks. No one bothered her so...

In the Young women's fashions she was brief as she could be.. not to rudeness... but she clearly wanted to be done sooner rather than later.  But the t-shirts she found made her smile... the AC/DC shirt was a nice bonus she also found a sweater pull over she liked...





She was about to make her way to the checkout when the young counter girl at the cosmetics booth called to her, "Oh nice choices, but don't want to check out some cosmetics to accent eve~ {Gasp}... your Hair is AMAZING! You should so do some green lipstick!"

Sandra smiled and turned to look at the displayed cosmetics, her attention drawn.
So she stepped over and looked over the products, "Thank you, but I rarely use much make-up.. but you do have a point about the green lipstick.. maybe..."

Sandra looked at a color chart to compare in the stand mirror... and picked out Green, Black and red lipstick sets.

The girl smiled then her eyes went wide, "...your hair is it .. naturally green?!? I can see from your roots, eyebrows and eyelashes..they are all green!  A-are you one of those Meta-humans?"

Sandra replied, "I'm am often times called such.  But I'm actually a newly borne Earth Goddess..", and winked at the counter girl smiling.

The girl's eyes went wide and she laughed, "Oh your something else al-right! Are those your selections? You MUST pick out so finger mail polish as well!"

Then she looked at Sandra's plain trimmed nails, "You always cut your nails so short? Oh! You should let them grow out and color them!"

Sandra was not sure the countergirl whose name tag was 'SANDY', believed her but her belief was not required and replied, "Oh deary, I can punch a Hole in the side of a Battleship when I want the strength to do so... that's just not very conducive to long elegant nails.  Tried it before, kept breaking nails on the jaws of super-criminals!  Just too much work to maintain, but.. yeah a little color couldn't hurt for parties and such. Right?"

Sandy, just had a shocked expression...clearly not sure how to take it.. but she was a pro at customer service and went for the Sale, "...uhm..well certainly!  All Goddesses have to look their best? Aheh?!?"

Sandra smiled, and picked out again Green, Black and Red Nail polish, "Thank you, Sandy... your good at this.  See you around!"

Sandy beamed brightly at her making the sale as Sandra went through checkout.

Sandra pondered perhaps some shoes when she spotted a SUN COAST Store... with all sorts of Anime' merchandise ... a guilty pleasure of Sandra's she had to stop in...

And ended up leaving with three more shirts a Power Ranger "Girl-Power" shirt, a beautiful NGE shirt of Asuka, and a RWBY shirt with Ruby Rose...



Her packages were getting cumbersome so she created a very small version of her hematite surfboard this only a couple feet in diameter that folded up with 'railing' to hold the boxes in place, that floated some 5 inches above the ground and followed her around. The nerds int he SUN COAST Store all gasped and watched as she strode away with the little platform following her... but were all apparently too shy to confront her... though some followed at a distance.

To the rest of the shoppers Sandra poses no flashy distraction other than her hair and beech clothing the little platform that hovered near and followed her most though it was some kind of cool tech gimmick... most were too self-absorbed in their own purchases and conversations to notice the strangeness...which suited Sandra just fine.

Sandra had to look around a bit for a shoe store past the food court to her annoyance.

But when she did find the women's shoe store she was quite pleased with what they had available... and quickly made her purchases...
A pair of stylish brown field boots for dig work, a pair of short heel sandals, a pair of Women's Sanzi Black Booties, Women's lace up strapy Sandals, Women's Red Lace up Tassel Stilleto Heels Strapy Sandals, and finally Women's Lace Stiletto Heel Peep Toe Platform Sandals.

Then she pondered yeah.. she had a thing for sandals.. but so what she liked what she liked!





Sandra yawned she had in her opinion a nice selection of clothing to mix and match for her time at the Hubert House.

Virginia is about to take another 1,000 calorie bite when she notices people staring at their table as well. Mostly at Cythi really, for her outstanding good looks. Or it might be at Virginia, for how much a woman her size can eat!

She sighs. Cythi is another princess. But it is alright. She deserves her time to shine.

Then she reminds herself why you never see a princess doing flips at 189 feet ... and 35mph ... on a pencil thin zip line!

She smirks and opens her mouth for the next bite!

"I will be surprised if Miss Thang even "sees" us at all. And if she does, the best thing to do is to be nice to her. Or at least pretend to try. But don't tell her about this place! A woman her size could cripple the nation's bacon industry!" She begins laughing.

Cythi continues to eat and actually orders another round of side bacon as she too continues to dig in to the food without a single care of how much this looks like can be downed.  "I had never thought of that.  Then we must protect the bacon.  It is delightful thing."  She says eating more.  "To be honest this is the first time I have ever had bacon and I have to admit this has to one of the best things I have ever had."  She smiles.  "Thank-you for sharing this and if there is any time I see you down I know where to bring you."

"That said you have given me so much and we have just met.  Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
