The shadow's swirl around the outside of an alley in Bankside and Onyx steps through, leading Victoria.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:04 pm**

"Very good," Victoria said as they exited, looking around at the various shops. "Now... to find the right store. I don't suppose it will do me much good to ask how you usually dress?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:10 pm**

"I dress however my Mistress deems appropriate, ma'am," Onyx replies.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:15 pm**

Victoria sighed as they walked toward a store. "I'll take that as a 'no.' I suppose it would be equally pointless asking what sorts of clothing you've preferred?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:26 pm**

Onyx looks a bit embarrassed, "I prefer black, ma'am."

"And I like to look good for my Mistress," Onyx replies, "If it's at all possible, I prefer to avoid casual clothes."

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:42 pm**

"Excellent," Victoria said, sounding truly pleased for probably the first time since Onyx had been thrust back into her life. "In that case, I think that this store would probably work well for us. What do you think?" Victoria asked as they approached a store that seemed quite in line with Victoria's... particular tastes.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:50 pm**

Onyx smiles slightly, "I think it'll work out well, Mistress."

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:59 pm**

Victoria smiled as well as they entered the store. "Please, dear... It's Victoria when we're in public. I'd rather not have too many people giving me the 'what on earth is going on' look."

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:00 pm**

"Is that a command, ma'am?" Onyx asks, looking like she's having a little trouble with the request.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:13 pm**

"Mmmm... not exactly. Something a little less conspicuous than 'Mistress,' though, if you'd please."

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:15 pm**

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx replies.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:41 pm**

"Good. Now, let's take a quick look at you..." Victoria looked Onyx over critically. "Right. Anything baggy is right out, right now. Absolutely no sense in hiding that figure. I think we'll start over here," she said, starting to select clothes for Onyx to go try on.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:42 pm**

Onyx obediently accepts any outfit Victoria hands her without comment, following behind her as they go through the store.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:57 pm**

"All right, dear," Victoria said, seating herself outside the changing rooms. "Go try them on for me, let's see how you look. Let me know if you need help getting anything on," she added, looking briefly at a corset in the pile.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 9:29 pm**

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says with a brief nod before heading into the dressing room.

Posted: **Sun Oct 11, 2009 9:49 pm**

Victoria lounged in the chair, smiling in amusement as she waited for the ebon-skinned girl to come out in her first outfit.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 11:35 am**

Onyx returns dressed in the first outfit, a tight fitting black number that exposes plenty of skin and a fairly short matching skirt.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:14 pm**

Victoria motioned her closer, examining the outfit. "Very nice," she commented, running her hand down the girl's back, feeling thematerial down the girl's back. "Now, equally important, are you comfortable wearing it?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:20 pm**

Onyx nods as her back straightens slightly in response to Victoria's touch, "Yes, ma'am."

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:32 pm**

"Good," Victoria said. "We'll get this one. Anything that fits like this, we'll get too, just try them on to make sure you feel comfortable in them."

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:44 pm**

Onyx nods, "Can you help me with the corset, ma'am?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:08 pm**

"Of course, dear," Victoria answered, standing up and following her into the changing room.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:12 pm**

Onyx closes the curtain behind them and begins to strip out of the outfit she's wearing, putting the clothes carefully aside to be bough later.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:11 pm**

Victoria picked up the corset and waited for the girl to be ready, then helped her into it, cinching it up in the back when it was in place. Once it was on, she looked at the effect. "Hmmm... I think I like that one. We would look rather wonderful in matching corsets, wouldn't we?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:14 pm**

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says with the faint hint of a smile.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:21 pm**

Victoria smiled, stroking Onyx's hair somewhat unnecessarily as she brushed it away from her back to get at the tie of the corset. "Very nice," she said, helping her back out of the garment, then handing her another top to try on.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:28 pm**

Onyx honestly smiled this time as Victoria stroked her hair, gratefully accepting the next garment and changing into it.

"It's a little tight, ma'am," Onyx says in a quiet voice.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:31 pm**

"Mmm... wrong size, or is it just the style?" Victoria asked, looking at the top.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:36 pm**

"I think it's the size, ma'am," Onyx answers, moving her shoulders back a bit and looking down, "It seems to be too tight around the chest."

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:39 pm**

Victoria checked, then nodded. "I think it's probably both," she said, discarding the shirt into the 'not buying' pile. "Unless you were attached to that one, I think we already have enough in the pile that we can afford to lose one shirt."

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:47 pm**

Onyx nods, "I agree, ma'am."

Onyx picks up the next top and skirt and begins to change again, slowly pulling on the clothes.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:05 pm**

"Excellent. You keep trying them on, I'll go see if there's anything else you'll need," Victoria said, picking up the shirt they wouldn't be getting before exiting the changing room.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:08 pm**

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says with a nod, trying on another outfit.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:09 pm**

Mercy walks into the store and makes her way through the racks, looking at corsets first. It doesn't take her long to notice the Victoria's distinctive looks. She waves, "Hi there."

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:11 pm**

"Hello," Victoria answered pleasantly, her attention having moved to the dressier outfits, pulling a corse-topped dress from a rack. "Needing additions to the winter wardrobe, too?" she asked, smirking slightly in Mercy's direction.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:13 pm**

"Not really. I mean, I could always use more clothes. But I'm getting a present for my boyfriend." She grins.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:17 pm**

Onyx walks out of the changing room, tugging at the hem of a skirt that's not really doing it's job of covering anything.

Seeing Victoria is talking with someone as she approaches, she waits patiently to be allowed to speak.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:20 pm**

"I see the same kind of shopping is happening. I'm sorry, I don't think we've met, I'm Mercy."

She waves at Onyx.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:20 pm**

"Mmmmm, the best kind of present," Victoria mused, picking another, similar dress in red, but picking up two of them. "Yes, dear?" she asked, glancing back at Onyx.

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:28 pm**

Onyx nods at Mercy politely, "I'm not sure about this one, ma'am. I think it's supposed to be this short, but I'm not sure if I'd actually have any use for it."
