[redcinemareel]

Who: Grell/redcinemareel & Ryuko/dishonorstudent
When: OOC date: March 2nd
Where: Juliets Lair; Grell's lingerie shop
What: Ryuko has been missing her classes. Grell is giving her detention.
Rating/Warning: Probably none?

---

The day was pretty nice, but Grell didn't care. She was nose deep in her newest novel 'The Many Different Shades of A Combination of Black and White' while staying behind the counter. From time to time, her eyes glanced over to Ryuko, making sure she was serving her time for not attending her lectures.

This detention dealt with organizing the thongs by alphabetical order. Of course she knew it was a ridiculous request, but it may give her ideas on how to better advertise her items.

"Any progress, Miss Matoi?" The page was turned, arriving to the halfway point of her novel. This was the best purchase she had ever made.

[dishonorstudent]

[ This is so illegal in some parts of the world. Probably. Whatever. ]

I feel like I should be askin' you. You look almost hypnotized by whatever junk is written in that book.

[redcinemareel]

[It isn't illegal here, or at least she wouldn't know if it was.

A grin spreads on her face as she pulls out another copy of the exact same book.]

Do you wish to read and find out~?

[dishonorstudent]

If I wanted to read dumb things then I wouldn't have skipped class and found myself sortin' underwear.

[ She holds up a thong. ]

Can this get any more exhibitionist? Seriously!

[redcinemareel]

[The book is put away, yet Grell is now smirking.]

Then this is a fitting punishment.

[She looks to the pair of stringy cloth, pointing to it.]

That's actually the best selling item this week! Don't crumple it, or you'll also be getting the wrinkles out! [Grell adjusts her glasses. She can't have people manhandling her merchandise!]

If this were true exhibitionism, I'd have you doing this nearer to a window. [Tilts head to the side, still smirking a bit.] I'm not quite sure what you're fussing about. Would you want some random man rifling through all these? [Gestures with her hand to the clothing.]

[dishonorstudent]

Like I care if some perv wants to go through these!! It ain't even mine!!

[ omg this teacher is worse than mikisugi. h-help. ]

What's any of this gotta do with literature?

[redcinemareel]

[Standing at her full height, she SLAMS HER BOOK DOWN!]

Well, I DO, so keep sorting!

[Hey, now, her clothes are still on! Give her that much!]

It doesn't have a thing to do with literature! I could easily just give you more reading and essays, but I doubt you'd do them if you can't even attend classes! [Presses a hand onto the counter, while the other one rests on her hip.] Manual labor is the best punishment!

[dishonorstudent]

"Punishment".

Did ya get that from your book, too? [ So impudent, this one. ]

[redcinemareel]

[Holds up one finger.]

Number one, if I were to truly get punishments from this book [which she holds up for emphasis.] You would NOT be separating underwear, nor wearing any.

[She lets that sink in for a moment....aaaaannnnnd continuing.]

Two [Second finger is added], you're not my type. And you should know that I'm already married.

[dishonorstudent]

[ She sputters. ] --I wasn't offering or anything!! God!

And why would ya even read that if you're married? That's just weird! [ what kind of marriage are they in... ]

[redcinemareel]

[If only she knew what kind of marriage they had...]

I'm married, not decrepit! Why shouldn't I be allowed to read such novels?!

[dishonorstudent]

They're perverted and depraved.

By the way, I hope I'm gettin' paid for this. I do have a real job, y'know!

[redcinemareel]

...that's not particularly a valid argument.

[She thinks she's getting paid for detention?? Has she never actually been to school before? Grell raises an eyebrow and steps from behind the counter, her heels tapping upon the floor with each step. She roams her eyes over Ryuko's work in scrutiny.]

How are these in alphabetical order? [Starts to sift through them lightly.] Polka dot and gingham? [Turns to Ryuko.] Are you blind?

[dishonorstudent]

G-Gingham? Is that seriously what it's called? I filed it under squares.

And S comes after P. Right? See? So I don't need to come to every class...

[redcinemareel]

[SIGHS LOUDLY]

No, it's GINGHAM, and it goes with 'G'! And THIS [holds up a pair of thongs] is leopard print! Not cheetah print!

[Tosses it back onto the pile of unsorted undergarments.]

Do you need a guide?

[dishonorstudent]

Of course I need a guide, look at where the hell I am!! The Thong Shop of Horrors!

[redcinemareel]

[Grell rolls her eyes and goes back to the counter, bending over to reach for something. What comes out is a thick binder! MORE BOOKS! Luckily, this one has pictures and just the title of every print imaginable.

The back of the binder has descriptions of when each fabric should be used, and on what kind of fabric.]

Here. [It's heavy!]

[dishonorstudent]

--Whoa! [ She takes the binder, and definitely notes the weight. ]

Ya sure weren't kidding, huh? Is there like a condensed version of this somewhere...?

[ She places it down on her work bench, and starts flipping through the pages at random. ]

[redcinemareel]

There was, but I opted for this.

[She looks over Ryuko's shoulder and points to one pattern.]

This one goes very well with silk! [Points to a different one] OH! We sold out of that one! [Then there is a snicker as she points to a leopard print pattern.] I sent this to my son-in-law.

[He kind of wasn't, but details.]

[dishonorstudent]

That one to your son-in-law? Ain't that kinda feminine?

[ What a boring book! If she's going to be stuck here, she might as well maintain this absurd conversation with Grell.

Maybe the teacher will let her go if she likes her enough... ]

[redcinemareel]

More like embarrassing. [Which was the point of the gift!] I doubt he'd ever wear it.

[She seems rather pleased with what she did.]

Now that you have your guide, you can start again!

[dishonorstudent]

Yeah, yeah, whatever... I can't believe ya actually wanna keep me here. [ Dealing with Ryuko's work ethic seems to be more of a punishment for Grell than the other way around. ]

Hey, you'd know a lot about fashion and all that stuff, yeah? I mean-- besides lingerie.

[redcinemareel]

Your detention isn't over just yet.

[Grell is a masochist...]

I'd like to believe I am. I've seen a few disasters, especially during the homecoming dances.

[dishonorstudent]

...Glad I never had one of those.

By the way, ya seen one of these things on the network yet? [ Ryuko opens her Cerevice and shows Grell an image. She figures if anyone can put this argument to rest, it's Mrs. Details over here! ] It's the latest craze, everyone's goin' nuts over what colour it's supposed to be.

[redcinemareel]

[Grell looks at the image, grimacing. What a tacky design!]

Shouldn't they be more concerned about how distasteful it is? Who made those cuts?! And those patterns! Some bright idea to abuse lace like that!

[IT'S SO UGLY!

Adjusting her glasses, she takes a closer look.] It's white and gold. What other shade could it be?

[dishonorstudent]

What? [ She looks back at the image she showed her teacher, to make sure she presented the right dress. It's definitely the one. ] It's black and blue, I think ya need new glasses.

I mean, I don't get it, where the hell does everyone see the white?!
