The Perk [Saturday morning]
Saturday, October 4th, 2014 08:38 amIt wasn't as though Irene could say she hadn't been warned.
Don't ask how or why she had men's clothes in her apartment; when she'd gone digging through her wardrobe for something that might fit this morning, she'd stumbled across a hooded sweatshirt (ugh) and a pair of Dockers (she felt faint) at the very bottom of her closet.
Bastard thought he was funny, apparently. But it'd work for now, since she clearly had to make a trip to the mainland to buy something more suitable if she was going to be stuck this way for longer than an hour or so. That was more than enough time to spend in clothing that probably came from...JC Penney. Or worse.
There were perks to this, though. One of the baristas was giving her interesting looks where before he hadn't (hm), and while Irene much preferred her usual, more...compact form, she wasn't as deeply traumatized as one might have suspected. After all, she'd probably change back soon enough (that was the rumor she'd heard), and as soon as she got her feet into some Cole Haans and something with a proper threadcount on her body, she'd feel much better about the whole thing.
But first: coffee. She got something enormous (and they insisted upon putting pumpkin in it, by the smell of it) and tucked away into a corner with a newspaper. She couldn't very well go shopping uncaffeinated, after all. That way laid fashion disaster.
[open with SP but I couldn't not put her out somewhere omg.]
