Mon Sept 8th - Skintight Suits and Army Slacks

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:04 pm

Nailah had gathered everybody from their respective dorms, not expecting no for an answer. One quick bus ride and their strange little group of Will, Onyx, Sam and her arrives in 'downtown' Maldon. "Alright, everybody keep their eyes peeled for any and all clothing stores. We have a lot of work to do!" she grins.

"There's more than one clothing store?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:18 pm

"Oh, tons. Well, maybe not here, but you know, in general."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:19 pm

"I did figure there wasn't just one in the world" Will teased, poking Sam in the side. "I just don't get why a town would need more than one."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:24 pm

"Well there's fancy clothes and boutiques for men and women and all kinds of different stuff! What kinda clothes are you looking for? I was thinking some button-downs and then everyone needs at least a couple cool t-shirts."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:26 pm

"Are we... planning around the mask?" She asks, giving Onyx the side-eye.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:28 pm

"Maybe we should all get masks?"

by **Onyx** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:30 pm

"You should. They are indispensable to maintaining a secret identity," Onyx says.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:33 pm

"The psychologists at the base said I shouldn't be secret, anymore, and people here seem to agree," Will pointed out. "So maybe no mask for me?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:34 pm

"I think that only works if you walk around without it when you're not punching bad guys in the face."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:36 pm

"Plus, like, nobody knows you here anyway, Onyx. You can probably take it off."

by **Onyx** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:38 pm

"Enemies could have followed me from Madripoor," Onyx says. "If they're watching right now and find out what I look like and compromise my mentor."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:39 pm

"You know you're... kind of easier to spot because you constantly dress like Batman and wear a mask."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:45 pm

"Well the idea is that without the mask no one would know that you're Onyx, yeah?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:56 pm

"I think people could probably tell it's still her," Will pointed out. "I can see most of her face right now."

by **Onyx** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:58 pm

"It's a rule," Onyx says firmly. "I must keep on the mask at all times. I also can not reveal my real name or other personal details that might identify me."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:59 pm

"Oh, Onyx isn't your real name?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:01 pm

"What's less conspicuous? Normal people don't wear masks. You kind of stick out like a sore thumb, if someone was looking for you."

"Most people wouldn't give you a second look without the costume and the mask, much less remember you if someone asked."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:05 pm

"Well if she doesn't want to take it off she doesn't want to take it off, yeah?"

by **Onyx** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:07 pm

"No, Onyx is not my real name," Onyx says. "And thank you, Sphinx."

"I am allowed more freedom with my costume. As long as it covers any identifying marks or tattoos, I can wear whatever I like."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:10 pm

"I guess we have that in common. I had to make a name up to come here, too."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:12 pm

"Way to make me feel more norm---less strange, you guys." she chuckles.

"Where are your tattoos?" she adds, purely so she knows what clothes to look out for and not at all because she wants to know where Onyx is tattooed.

by **Onyx** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:16 pm

Onyx hesitates for a moment, "...On my left shoulder blade. I also have a brand burnt into my right hip."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:21 pm

"Ouch..." she says, curious why anybody would get a brand mark but not wanting to pry too much. "Well that'll be easy to keep covered up at least."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:22 pm

"That's awfully... hardcore."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:22 pm

"Did it hurt?"

by **Onyx** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:26 pm

"Thank you, ma'am," Onyx says to Sam. "But it is not that big a deal."

"The tattoo did not," Onyx says to Will. "I do not remember the brand. I was very young at the time."

"None of you have any tattoos?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:27 pm

"I don't think they'd stick," Will said, after thinking a moment. "They've put bar-codes on me before, but they go away when I shift."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:28 pm

"My mum would have kittens if I got a tattoo."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:33 pm

"No, but I think they're cool. Well, they can be cool. I bet yours is cool." Super smooth, Nailah.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:36 pm

Will blinked, and looked between Nailah and Onyx.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:48 pm

"I mean.. like... I bet it's an awesome crime-fighting tattoo!" she tries to save face after realizing how that might have sounded.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:50 pm

"How does a tattoo fight crime? They're pretty stationary, aren't they?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:05 pm

"I think she means, like, a skull or a guy getting kicked in the face."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:08 pm

"Can we see the tattoo?"

by **Onyx** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 4:47 am

"I suppose that would be fine. We would need to find someplace private," Onyx says. "Perhaps when we are at one of the fitting rooms?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 4:47 am

"What's a fitting room? Are there rooms we can't fit in?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 5:48 am

"It's just where you try on the clothes to see if they fit."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 5:50 am

"Why would they make clothes that don't fit?"

Will blinked. "Oh! Right. Oneforms. That makes sense."

by **Onyx** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 6:54 am

"Oneforms?" Onyx asks.
