Katie idly scrolls through her phone as she sits at the bus stop. Hunger gnaws at her stomach. She internally debates whether to shell out for takeout or save money and heat up something from the freezer. Her bones feel like they're made of lead. She wants to lay down, but knows the bus will just arrive as soon as she does.

monoceros
Well in that case Monoceros is going to go over and scoop Katie up with one arm and carry her off to her room.

Indistinct mumbling. Arms doing whatever the closest they can to wrapping around Mo's sizeable middle is given the position she's in.
They pull in to where they're docking for the convention while Katie's sleeping. In the morning there are fewer goons around, though a breakfast (heavy on the coffee cake and claifoutis) is laid out for her in the galley, and her dress is in a box next to it.

The dress is kind of heavy. It's absolutely covered in pearls, though it's silk under that, and pearls are basically rocks. There are more kinds of pearls on this dress than you can shake a stick at; it's basically a mosaic. Classic spherical pearls are almost outnumbered by Biwa and Mabe and baroque and coin. White pearls are not quite outnumbered by the colorful ones (metallic-looking Sea of Cortez, oil-slick abalone, pink conch, blue Akoya, golden South Sea, purple and pink and green Keshi pearls), and the dress is therefore predominantly white (and so is the silk underneath), with swirls and tiger-stripes of glistening color wrapping around her.
It has a substantial amount of extra material in the back, folded up and contained by a sash. Looks like she won't have to give up the dress when she's bigger.

Mezzopiano: are those REAL

apparently
kind of heavy though
not uncomfortable but gonna be kind of a bitch to walk in and also sit in
i need to do more like shoulder excercises or something
spirulinagalaxy: if you die can I have your dress
spirulinagalaxy: that's so fucking pretty k!
spirulinagalaxy: now, how would I go about it if I wanted to get in touch with the supervillain Monoceros, who has no contact with any part of my life except, I guess, that one time she kidnapped k,,,,
growth-mindset
i will actually tell her to give the dress to you if i die if that's what you want
no promises she'll do it
spirulinagalaxy: it is SO covetable. everyone with taste will drool over you at that convention.
Mezzopiano: how long did that take to make??? how did she get that put together for you this fast, couture takes forever.
growth-mindset
idk i'll have to ask
but yeah like it even has extra fabric in the back which will come in handy later
god i'm gonna look so hot in it then
basking robin: idk wealth has always been an aphrodisiac and a quick back of envelope calculation suggests that thing cost millions of dollars so possibly you are already hot in some objective sense
basking robin: based on like how much pearls cost, I guess probably if she's into pearls she has an engineered oyster farm that drops five hundred an hour or something
No but it comes with a purse.
growth-mindset
She's never used a purse before. Makes her feel a little weird but she'll take what she can get. She puts the phone inside and looks around the sub for Mo.
Monoceros has left the submarine. Maybe she got up early and went to the con. There is a goon still aboard, though. "Miss, are you ready for the convention?"
