You push through the crowd. You expect to see the robber in the centre of it yet he's nowhere to be seen! Instead, a lush white rubber dress is laying on the asphalt. It's enormous: the hem would probably drag behind the lucky girl to wear it.
'Let me throuuuughh!'
You see the magician girl finally get through the crowd.
'Wowzers, look at that! Who would have thought that he'd be such a softie on the inside!' — she giggles.
She tries picking up the dress, but it's way too big and too heavy for her to carry. The girl looks around, clearly looking for help, yet everyone seems to be hesitating.
'Okay, I'll lend a hand' — you sigh, helping the girl pick up layers of heavy rubber.
'And the first prize for being helpful goes to the law-abiding citizen in a matching outfit!' — the teen grins. It takes you a second to realise that she's talking about your maid costume. Right... you are dressed like a servant after all.
'Let's take it to 'Latex Delight' — the girl says, pulling you and the dress forward. You follow without saying a word. This is an alien world to you and you definitely don't want to end up as a heap of rubber frills and ruffles for saying something wrong.

You squeeze the giant dress through the door of a nearby store the girl has led you to. As you enter, a thick scent of latex hits your nostrils. No wonder: the store is a rubber clothing outlet. You see rows upon rows of hangers and display cabinets with every kind of an outfit possible... all in colourful latex. Halloween costumes, formal attire, lingerie — 'Latex Delight' seems to have it all.
A girl behind a counter welcomes the two of you.
'Another haul?' — she asks. Her crimson red eyes and platinum blonde hair make her look striking, a little spooky even.
'Hey, Brianne. Just serving the law, one spell at a time' — your companion smiles. 'I'll go fill in the paperwork. Oh, and thank you for carrying this beauty all the way here, pretty maid' — she winks at you. She's a bit of an airhead, that's for sure.
The magical girl goes to back office, leaving you with the clerk.
'So, uh...' — the teen picks up the new arrival and puts it onto a large dress hanger. She shuffles through layers of petticoats and frills, setting them in place. It's actually a wedding dress!
'On an off chance... are you interested in any of our items? I'll give you a discount for helping our mutual friend!' — she waves her hand in the direction of countless hangers with rubber outfits.
