Uniforms... Huh

[wateronthebrain]

Erin turns over a business card in her hand a few times. Her father had been taking her a little more seriously and had been pleased with her last few test scores in school. So this little card with an appointment had come in the mail at school for her.

Apparently he was of the mind she needed a uniform. Not a bad thing really. He was going to foot the bill he just wanted her to go to this one place.

She didn't want to go alone so she decided to ambush the person who knew more about this than she did.

"Hey Bruce."

"Well you're all a little crazy but..." She smirks a bit more. "You're also the most honest and open people I've met in a long time. It's both fun and refreshing."

[comic_awareness]

Bruce smiled. "I had some good teachers."

[wateronthebrain]

She nods sagely. "It shows."

[comic_awareness]

"So when do you go see this "Edna Mode?'"

[wateronthebrain]

".....Not too long from now. Dad likes to spring things on me." She rolls her eyes a bit.

[comic_awareness]

"Well, lemme know when, and I'll clear my calendar."

[wateronthebrain]

"The day after tomorrow around five. I hope that isn't too soon."

[comic_awareness]

"Nah," Bruce said. "s' fine. No classes that late anyway."

[wateronthebrain]

She looks very pleased with this. "Thanks Bruce."

[comic_awareness]

"No prob, Erin."

[wateronthebrain]

She grins a bit more. "I'll leave you to what you were doing."

And she does. The next day is busy as ever for her but the following evening she'll take him with her to see Ms Mode.

[comic_awareness]

"Classy place," Bruce said, as they arrived.

[wateronthebrain]

"It's nice. Not what you'd call a fixer-upper at all," she agrees seeing just how opulent everything is.

"I hope she's not like....You know. Too over the top."

[comic_awareness]

"Well, most fashion designers are supposed to be eccentric, so...?"

[wateronthebrain]

"Oh goodie," Erin says dryly. "Well at least we're expecting it."

[comic_awareness]

Bruce just laughed. "Bravely into the valley of death rode the... two."

[ngm_miscellaneous]

"Ah hello darlings," a cheerful voice calls.

"Miss Sterling, it's simply a pleasure Dahlin," she says in an accented voice. She can't be too much over the four foot even mark and is very tastefully dressed for her age.

"When your Father explained the situation, how could I say no? Models? Bah. They know nothing!"

She shakes her head. "But Super Heroes? Why they have.... A little something special in their little grey cells. Do come in, sit! Let us talk!"

[wateronthebrain]

Erin looks a little shell shocked by the welcome and just looks over at Bruce. They go sit down, right?

[comic_awareness]

Well. He hadn't expected this. Despite his comic awareness telling him things were about to get very, very silly, Bruce nodded slightly.

They should sit.

[ngm_miscellaneous]

Edna is very happy to have them here.

"Tea," she offers with her too wide smile going through the niceties first.

[wateronthebrain]

"Uh," she moves to take a seat. "Sure. No cream or sugar please."

Might as well just go along.

[comic_awareness]

"Please," Bruce says, as he takes a seat. "With honey, if you've got it."

[ngm_miscellaneous]

Edna prepares both Bruce and Erin a cup of tea to their preferences and fixes herself one. She is taking a good look at Erin and nods a few times.

"I have a few ideas." She passes over for them to she a few detailed sketches that look each very different but practical. Bruce should also notice none of them have capes or anything obvious that could get snagged on something.

"What do you think, Dahlin?"

[wateronthebrain]

She doesn't know what to say at first.

"Why no capes," she asks suddenly and curiously. "And I'm not sure I like the.... neck-thing on this one. Looks too clunky."

[comic_awareness]

Bruce studied them with Erin for a moment. "Definitely don't want to go clunky. Nothing that'd create drag in in the water."
