Class was, again, in the Danger Shop, although this time it was set up almost like a laboratory -- sleek, pale grey walls, a long counter on which stood bottles and vials and jars. Along the back was a display case, in which sat...

Superhero costumes?

"... Good morning, class," Lulu said, eyeing the set-up of the room a little suspiciously. "Today, we have a special guest lecturer joining us. She has come highly recommended to me for today's topic: disguise. Specifically, she focuses on how to hide one's identity when using one's... skills in public, most especially skills that could cause one to come under... investigation from sources by which one does not wish to be investigated.

"There are some of us here, in Fandom, who have abilities beyond the 'norm' for many versions of Earth. Some of us are not even from Earth, originally, and yet we find ourselves here, now. When travelling, there might be times we wish to use our abilities, to get ourselves involved in something while wishing to keep our identity unknown. That is when we look to disguise as a function of our clothing -- something to shield our identity while we work.

"Today," Lulu continued, "each of you is going to work with Ms. Edna Mode, who will guide you through the process of designing a costume that reflects your abilities and your personality. If you don't possess the kind of abilities about which I'm speaking, be creative: think about the skills you possess, and how they might suit the kind of role we're thinking of today.

"After all, today everyone gets to be a superhero." Lulu paused. "Or a supervillain. You will find no judgment here."

[... I have been looking forward to this class since the beginning. :D OCD ~~will be up in a moment~~ is up!]

"There is retro in the good way," Blair pointed out. "'30s and '40s style, or anything Audrey Hepburn would look good in. I'm not afraid of color, or patterns."

"Patterns, no, unless hmm perhaps lightening bolts of mental power, small ones, as nuances, intimidating, yet feminine?" Forest Green with silver bolts at the arm seams, neckline, and one small badge on the hip took shape, as Edna frowned, trying to decide. "Perhaps black? No, no, I think not, later, when you have already saved the world three times. A skirt? With tights? Yes, Audrey Hepburn! Darling, it is so good to know the next generation is aware of the masters."

"She is a goddess to me," Blair said, with a tone that implied Audrey being a goddess pretty much went without saying.

"Then yes, sunglasses hairband gloves, dress darling, exactly, with tights, like Funny Face only not, you are a brilliant and sneaky icon of classic mental intimidation!" The green sketch got scrubbed for one in black-and-white, now that Edna had a firm goal, and she beamed in satisfaction at the sketch that took shape. "You will immediately COMMAND THE ROOM as well as any aspiring supervillains, ha!"

Blair looked rather happy about all that. "Perfect."
