Fashion! Etc., Etc.!

The Danger Shop was set up like a runway in Milan. There were lights! There was noise! There were stick figures with big poofy lips complaining as their hair was put up into ridiculous coifs backstage with the students!

"Hello, darlings," Edna said, wheeling the rack of costumes (save one, naturally) into the room. "You have all proven to be...mostly adequate...these last few weeks in terms of creativity and not being blown up. Today you will demonstrate the lines and flow of my beautiful costumes!" Her hands flew up over her head.

"...which you also helped to design, et cetera, et cetera," she finally added. "Get changed, listen for the music and then strut, darlings! Try not to trip over things and end up on Youtube. Oh, and watch out for the lasers. You are superheroes, after all."

With that she disappeared through the curtain to join the audience.

There was a good deal of ranting and swearing going on from Katchoo's corner -- not at anything in particular. It was the damn principle of the thing.

. . . also, the lasers. "Lasers. Lasers, seriously, what the *@(#_*#@()%#! hell . . ."

There was dressing going on too. But mostly swearing.

Jen wasn't sure who was ranting, since she was in the process of changing too.

"I know!" she said. "We can't just have a normal final? It makes me so dang--"

It's not as if there was an audible sound for hulking out. Especially when Jen was, thankfully, not in her normal clothes.

"...well, that's convenient," she said.

Katchoo had turned away for a second to, er, adjust things beneath her top. "WHAT IS POSSIBLY CONVENIENT ABOUT ANY OF THIS?" she groused at top volume. "What -- oh, Jesusfrikkin'Christ."

Jennifer smiled, an awkward 'hi, yes, I'm big and green and yes I am kinda having to cover up half my suddenly much bigger rack because I wasn't fully changed yet' smile.

"Oops?"

It wasn't anything Katchoo hadn't seen before (yeah, even the green, don't ask), so she drawled, "Don'tcha hate when that happens?"

Oh, sure. Rub it in, with the lasers to deal with.

Jen shrugged, then got her top all situated properly.

"It'll make the lasers easier to deal with," she said.

"Can I use you as a human shield?" Katchoo asked, not entirely sarcastic because lasers, geez.

"Sounds good to me," Jennifer said. "Jennifer Walters, hero for hire."

She frowned. "That doesn't sound right."

"They usually call those mercenaries," Katchoo said so very helpfully.

"...temporary bodyguard?" Jennifer suggested.

Katchoo buckled a bandolier that would do absolutely nothing functional across her chest. "Translation, rent-a-cop. Stick with the first option."

"Got it," Jennifer said. Though she suddenly thought she'd need to be part bionic and have an awesome afro to be a true Hero for Hire.

She shook that thought off quickly. That was odd.

"But your safety is in my hands. For the class, at least."

"Eh. That wouldn't be very superhero-like," Katchoo muttered. "Not that I give a crap about that, but I don't need Knee-Height trying to get up in my face one more time."

"Good idea," Jennifer said. "Good luck out there."
