Star-Lord has posed:
"Hi. Welcome to Spacy's. We're having a sale on Scale Cream if you're interested. Come back and smell me!"

Peter Quill, aka The Unmemorable Star-Lord, is leading the way into the One Stop Space Shop that's filled with more styles of attire than the entirety of the Terran Outlet Malls... combined. Every day is Fashion Week here at Spacy's.

Anyway, Peter is obviously torn between his excitement for being here and his dread of having to bring Tsu-Zana here. Probably has more to do with the fact that he didn't bring any Units with him than anything else. But! Whatever works.

"... I still don't see what's wrong with what you have on. It looks good on you. Granted, I was eight... but..."

There's a very good chance it doesn't fit, isn't there?

Ultragirl has posed:
In some ways the tee is too small, others too long, and the loaner sweat pants are far too big for Suzy, that's for certain. She scrunches her nose just a bit at him and shrugs her shoulders, "I don't want to look like I just came out of a trailer park, for starters." She says, "And second, your friend kinda tore up and burnt parts of the old costume with that laser ray gun he shot at me." It was a turbo stunner, or something, in reality. "Alright, so, what kinda clothes do space girls wear?" she asks, looking over at Peter, her gaze wandering the store a bit, "I don't even know where to start. Just help me pick something out and we can get on back to the ship, or whatever."

Star-Lord has posed:
"Let's just use the term 'friend' loosely when we're talkin' about Rocket, alright?"

Peter even has to get a dig in on his buddy without Rocket being around. Which kind of works out because now he doesn't have to think of a comeback. That's always a good thing. "Um. I dunno." Peter frowns a little bit and looks at the nearest rack. Then he undistracts himself and looks at some actual clothes. "I haven't had to be a space girl in a long time. Fashion changes to quickly up here."

Peter reaches out to touch a green top and it hops off the hangar and runs off to a furnace to burn itself.

"See? Out of style."

Ultragirl has posed:
"Alright, your sorta pal Rocket then." Suzy says with a nod at the correction, looking at the rack as well, "Well take me to the human looking people part, we can start there. I don't need clothes for a giant lizard person, or I dunno, a potato shaped lady." She says, shrugging her shoulders just a little bit, "And you can't honestly tell me what sort of things space girls wear. You've seen more then I have anyway, you've got a spaceship afterall." She gestures at the walkman on his belt, "Maybe your computer can call up some ideas or something?"

Star-Lord has posed:
"Actually, the floor of my ship'd have a better idea than me..." Star-Lord mumbles this to himself before he takes a louder voice and starts to lead the way back towards the place that would probably be known as the fitting rooms or something of that nature if they were on Terra. "I've got an idea. It's a little weird but it always works on situations like this."

Star-Lord holds up his walkman and then points Tsu in the direction of one of the fitting rooms with a smile and a nod. "It's Montage Time." Oh man. He cannot be serious. He is not about to make this happen.

Ultragirl has posed:
Tsu-Zana gives a slightly confused look at Peter Quill, but he recovers quick enough with an idea, her brow lifting ever so slightly at the suggestion of a montage, "A what?" she asks, but is already on her way towards the fitting room at the Star Lord's urging.

Star-Lord has posed:
"Alright! Here's how this is gonna' work!" Star-Lord turns to take his Walkman over to plug it into the speaker system that he's not supposed to be touching but he's a thief and that's what he does. Well, not a thief. An ex-Ravager. Something like that. Either way, Star-Lord tries to explain.

"I turn the music on and through the power of Movie Magic you're gonna' change into an outfit as you come out of there! I'll react and you'll go back in and it'll happen again. Until either you get two thumbs up from me, and maybe one of the Spacy's employees... or the song's over." Peter has no idea if this is going to work or not but he's going for it.

"Got it?"

Ultragirl has posed:
Hmmn... okay, that sounds simple enough.." Suzy says with a little nod of her head at Peter's suggestion, hmmning faintly, "Okay, toss me an outfit, and have more ready for me to change into, okay!" She exclaims, holding her hand out towards Peter, waiting for him to hand her the first costume.

Star-Lord has posed:
Peter takes a moment to switch the Mixtape in the Walkman and then nods towards the Spacy's worker that's standing next to a rack of clothes. She nods back at Star-Lord and the brilliantly horrible idea seems to be ready to roll. "Alright. Hit it." And with that, Peter pushes down on the play button and the Walkman crawls to musical life.

The music takes over everything and Peter dives into the chair that's suddenly there as the Spacy's Worker grabs an outfit and ushers Suzy in to get dressed!

Ultragirl has posed:
As fate would have it, Tsu-Zana is incredibly good at getting out of clothes, and consequently getting into new ones, thanks to her experience in the modelling world back in Los Angeles. What she's currently wearing is tossed, shirt draped over the divide, pants in a bunch at her feet, and then the new costume is donned, and in short order out comes Tsu-zana, sporting a purple tunic with decorative silver panels for a top with an exaggerated bell shape that ends at her waist, with poofy, pointy shoulders, fingerless gloves with a similar bell shape at the end, and a pair of tights in a matching color to the tunic. She takes a few bold steps out from the dressing room, does a little turn, strikes a pose, finger in the air making a gun shape, before waiting for the signal.

Star-Lord has posed:
That music is going strong and Peter's excited to see the arrival of Tsu-Zana. His excitement crash lands on the floor though as he regards the outfit and shakes his head in horror. He loves old school but this outfit is probably just a little bit too old school for his tastes. The thumbs down is given!

Meanwhile, the Spacy's Worker has already snuck in and out of the fitting room with another selection.

Ultragirl has posed:
Back into the changing cubicle goes Suy, and once again clothing flies about, "Are you kidding me." Can be heard when the next costume is reached for, only the bare calfs and feet of Suzy visible beyond the partition. Soon however she is stepping out, wearing a rather shapeless white jacket, that does it's best to hide her figure, and a straight white skirt. To top it all off what looks like a hollowed out ball is worn upon her head. She does a little walk, a turn, then heads immediately back into the changing room without even waiting for the thumbs down.

Star-Lord has posed:
Peter's on the floor, rolling. He's literally down and rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter. He can't believe she just came out in that. Even a couple of other shoppers took a moment to stop and stare. The Spacy's worker is a bit slower this time, trying to figure out where she went wrong before she's dragging another set of clothes off into the dressing room.

Peter has to drag himself back up to his feet and crawls onto the chair to try and get his laughter bearings over with. It's going to take him a moment. Or fifty.

Ultragirl has posed:
The ball hat comes flying out, landing atop Peter as he starts dragging himself out, the rest of the clothing is tugged off and the next costume comes on, and out comes Suzy, sporting a silver and pink hybrid of a romper and hot pants, with a low plunging scoop neck in the front. Overtop she wears a bolero style top with exaggerated shoulders, and a big belt around the waist. She does a bold walk out, turning around to give a full view before striking a pose.

Star-Lord has posed:
Peter takes the hat and wears it like a cape for a little bit while trying to figure out what in the heck is coming out of the fitting room before the rest of the Tsu-Zana came out as well. He's focused on scoop neckline for a little bit and thus kind of has a gawking stare for REASONS. He makes the so-so motion with his hand to make sure that she understands that he thinks they're getting there. Sister Spacy is in and out with another outfit. The rest of horrible white one gets burned.

Ultragirl has posed:
A little shrug is offered by Suzy, "It has some promise, maybe needs some work, but it's going in an okay direction." Suzy says at Peter before she twirls around back and heads into the dressing room. There are no complaints from beyond the barrier this time, and out some comes in a snug white dress, with a high collar, a corset like top, and a peak-aboo window across the top of her chest. The skirt of the dress has a purple panel, a utility belt hangs low around the waist, and a pair of knee high leg warmers covers her legs. She once again takes that stroll, does a turn followed by a pose.

Star-Lord has posed:
"We're gettin' there." Peter says before hurling the hat cape off in a direction that should definitely end up in the fire with the rest of that horrid outfit. Peter points off towards one particular outfit on the corner of the rack that's near the Spacy's Sister's shoulder. "That one."

"This one?"

"That's it."

Spacey Sister gives the outfit a couple of once overs. "... You may be right."

And here comes the possibly final outfit of the montage!

Ultragirl has posed:
Into the changing room returns Suzy, for perhaps the final outfit of the evening, her current dress shed, ending up in a pile on the floor and kicked off to the side before the metallic purple one is pulled on, with it's acompanying boots. This one is not all that different then the last one, except it is shiny purple metallic, with mesh panels in a diamond pattern from front to pack on either side, and mesh long sleeves. This dress too has a big teardrop cuttout, and sports thigh high shiny, high heeled boots. A turn and a pose ends her parade of outfits, standing before Peter Quill with the latest outfit.

Star-Lord has posed:
Peter's up and on his feet as the song fades out. He makes his way over to the walkman and makes sure that it gets stopped before it goes to the next song. He takes the walkman and moves slowly over to Suzy to give her a once or twice or three times over. He walks around her with a studying eye. "I think we nailed it." He gets around to the front of her and tries to keep his eyes up here, pal. "Yup. Nailed it."

He takes a step back to look at her. "What do you think?"

Ultragirl has posed:
"I dunno... I mean it looks like I'm getting ready to go out clubbing or something." Suzy says, glancing down at it, tugging at it a little, "But if it's good for blending in, I'll take your word." She says with a little shrug. She gestures at the Walkman a bit, "That's a big player, how many songs does it hold? Ten Thousand?" she asks, "Where's the video display on it, can you watch movies too?"

Star-Lord has posed:
"What? Oh! No, this is just a Walkman. Holds cassettes. Which are vastly superior in every way except for the amount of songs. They can only old about ten to twelve." Peter tosses the Walkman from hand to hand before clipping it back on his belt. "You're gonna' blend right in. Trust me. No one's even gonna' notice you..." He pauses to watch a couple of gawkers slowing down as they gawk in Suzy's direction. "... anymore than usual." Peter grins. "So! Shall we amscray before we have to pay for this outfit?"

Ultragirl has posed:
"A casette? What planet do those come from?" Suzy asks as she walks along beside Starlord, giving a confused look, "Must be real primitive.. only twelve songs?" she asks with a soft huh. She continues along for several more steps before the topic of walking out without paying is broached, "Wait what??"

Star-Lord has posed:
Peter even goes so far as to reach for Suzy's hand because this is the part where they have to run. He's used that music player to hide the fact that he was turning off the security protocols and there's only a few moments before they kick back in. "Not primitive. /Classic/. Big difference." Peter casts a quick glance towards the security Slitharians and starts speeding towards the exit. "Just keep moving. We've got this in the bag."

Ultragirl has posed:
"Wait what?" Suzy asks as she's grabbed at by Peter and tugged towards the exit, following along with the space scoundrel, as he rushes off towards the exit, "Are you sure this is actually smart??"

Star-Lord has posed:
Annnnd... that's when the alarm goes off.

"Uh. No. Not smart at all." Peter turns to see the Slitharians realizing what's happening and they start trying to get across the store and over to them. Shock Batons are being charged and everything.

"Run!"

Star-Lord leads the way as he makes a break for the exit!

Ultragirl has posed:
"Oh jeeze!" Suzy exclaims as starlord takes off from the Slitharian horde, well, guards. She takes off after him, "Why didn't you just pay for it?? Or get something cheaper!" She exclaims, "You're like the Starlord afterall, shouldn't you be rich??"

Star-Lord has posed:
"Why pay for something you can get for free?"

Star-Lord makes a left the moment they are out of the store so they can make their epic run towards the starport and to The Milano. Which is not far. He even remote starts the ship because he can do that.

"Besides, it's not about the units. It's the principle. Spacy's prices are just too damn high!"

Ultragirl has posed:
"Wow! Your friends were gonna sell me for the units regardless of principle!" Suzy exclaims, running alongside Star-Lord as he leads the daring escape from Spacy's high priced clothing mart, "I didn't grab your shirt back there!" she adds, "Sorry!"

Star-Lord has posed:
"We'll get it later!"

There are shock bolts coming in their direction from the Slitharians giving chase but The Milano is right there waiting so it's a lot easier to get on the ship and close it up.

"This just means you owe me three. Rackin' up quite the debt, are we?" He's probably kidding but whatever! Star-Lord heads to the cockpit and fly this sucker out of dodge.
