knickers

Who| Diana, and you [open to all]
What| Diana's just browsing.
Where| Cushion Pushin’ Upscale Lingerie (it’s very classy), First floor // FAYZ Freaks Fiesta (Merchandise), Third Floor
When| First Week
Warnings/Notes| It's an arena post with Diana, just, be prepared.

Past the window mannequins dressed in the more conservative pyjamas and nightwear, surrounded by a racks of lace, silk, frills and polka dots, is Diana. Killing time before the next replenishment of food.

Though she's hardly about to strip down and actually try on any of them, especially the corsets, which there's a ridiculous amount of (seriously, they must have come back into fashion hard). It doesn't stop her from looking around.

Because some of these sets are actually pretty damn cute. Like that yellow, white-spotted one.

So she walks around the 3 for 2 bins of knickers, racks of comfortable looking nighties and line after line of bras to pick a few out.

She holds them against her body, scrutinizing herself in the mirror then turning to look up at the ceiling, guessing the camera's location with rather surprising accuracy.

Then she pulls a questioning expression and raises her hand, shaking it in so-so gesture, as if asking the audience for their opinion before nodding or shaking her head, putting it back and browsing again.

------

Diana is fully aware that there's merchandise of her (her Azula and Diana shipping shirts are a testament to that) but it doesn't prepare her for the first sighting of FAYZ Freaks Fiesta.

It's terrible. And cheesy. And hilarious so, of course, Diana loves it and is already wearing a 'It's just a FAYZ' shirt.

What baffles her is that what seems to be the focus of FAYZ merchandise is a large collection of snowglobes.

Getting closer, she can see the typical town backdrops in some but others have desert or water. And the confetti inside them all varies in shape and colour.

But something about every single one looks familiar. The little town backdrop isn't any little town. It's a Perdido Beach.

She leans down to get a better look at the plastic souvenirs and sees familiar faces moulded into little figures and placed amongst the scenery.

Sometimes in less than pleasant scenarios, like a little Lana trapped under a truck with a little dog stood beside her.

And there, pressed against the glass in the one closet to her, tiny face twisting in pain for touching the barrier, is a Sam.

Diana shakes her head. “Oh, you cheeky bastards.”

She could just hear Jo's voice in her head: how there were better things to do than shop, but a girl's best friend was a cute pair of underwear; it was the key to confidence! So here she was, perusing a store the likes of which weren't found in her home. There were countless options and each more cute than the last, it was entrancing.

She was so distracted that she almost didn't notice the other person in the store. She darted behind one of the mannequins and spied on the woman from what she perceived to be a safe distance. She was attractive and seemed to be modeling some of the things she'd picked up, which just left Meg staring.

At least until she picked up some kind of thing and held it to her chest. She'd never seen anything like that before....what the hell? In all her confusion, she quite literally forgot she was supposed to be hiding.

She stepped out from behind her cover and pointed accusingly at the weird round lacy thing the other woman had. "What in the hell is that thing?"

"For the panties, of course!" Meg gave her a look like she'd just asked the most stupid question in the world. "Where else is a gal supposed to find a decent pair of panties?"

But what the hell was a bra? Why was it important? Could you kill someone with it, was that why this lady wanted one? It didn't seem like it from how she'd been holding. Maybe it, like, protected your chest? Meg couldn't figure it out.

Meg looked at them and then looked to the other woman. "That's a good point, they do just kinda go everywhere, don't they? And when you're trying to shoot someone, they can really mess with your aim and reaction time!"

This was a very serious conversation she felt she was having. She hadn't thought about it before, but something like that would be really useful. Jo had always worn something sort of binding to keep her chest from hurting when she was running, but Jo also had a smaller chest than Meg and wore that thing like a shirt, so she hadn't payed much attention to it.

"Huh...maybe I'll get one. Thanks." She was a hundred percent sincere in that gratitude.
