[This place is horrifying, yes, but the petite, young woman in an orange sweater can’t help but allow various aspects of the city to distract her from the dark reality of her situation. An engineer and scientist at heart, this task shouldn’t be so difficult, right?
From an outsider’s perspective, it might look as though she’s blissfully engrossed in the scenery and architecture of the Up during the tour, particularly since she can be seen taking notes with a bit of vigor from time to time. Honestly, quite a bit of it stands beautifully designed and constructed, but she knows the truth of it. And that, despite the function and aesthetics, is the simple fact that everywhere the eye falls a design decision has been made with the culture of this place in mind.
So, perhaps the young woman appears fine from a stranger’s eye, but closer inspection might reveal her true feelings. The way she grips her pen so tight her knuckles whiten. How her gaze becomes unfocused and unmoving into the distance beyond the window, or the intentional manner in which she avoids looking at a Submissive kneeling next to a Dominant.
Or, when someone sits next to her, be they LIER or local, Velma can’t help but shift her weight towards the window, giving herself and the other person more room to delineate the space. Except trains are trains and there’s an abrupt stop or a not so smooth spot that deltas the momentum sharply, subsequently throwing her against the person in the seat next to her, or more awkwardly, face first into the crotch or butt cheek of the person in front of her.
So much for laying low.]

[Typically, she delights in a well curated seminar. She loves learning, particularly about niche subjects. Whatever had been the expectations going into this particular presentation? Well let’s just say this lady’s poker face left much to be desired.
None of these styles of clothing even remotely fit Velma’s typical aesthetic. It’s giving her flashbacks of Daphne putting her in a faux leather bodysuit to make her seem sexy and mysterious on a date. During the entirety of the seminar, she appears visibly uncomfortable, often seen blushing and trying to avoid eye contact with teachers and LIERs alike.
The material science aspect of the seminar, however, hooks her attention, and there are times where she’s engaging in focused note-taking. Too bad it’s mostly a practical course.
Due to her Dominant designation, she’s directed to help designated Submissives in learning how to properly lace up a corset, and she’s actively torn between dying of embarrassment and overachieving in a teacher-esque role. There’s a deep breath to bolster herself with an attempt at confidence before she turns to someone nearby with a collar.]
Can you please help me... Um put this on? [She does not sound terribly confident. But she does quickly add some clarification!] Over the sweater.
[Her sweater’s snug and she’s figuring she could get away with a more historical or Renaissance Faire aesthetic rather than full on kink. Never mind that the corset they’ve handed her was a deep maroon leather underbust. Yep. The sweater is definitely staying on for this.]
Looking for samples of the various moth repellent agents. Can trade accompaniment to assist with gift card purchases in exchange.
Please wear proper PPE during sample collection.
