“Oh, darling, you look precious!” Jerry exclaimed, clapping his hands together. He looked over her up and down on all sides, nodding approvingly. “Can you see well out of that mask?”
Raven looked about the room through the silky white and black mask. “Yes. Well… kind of.”
“It was difficult for me to find a material that was opaque that you could still see through.”
Raven squinted, trying to make out details of everything around her better. She could see, it just wasn’t clear. She had fuzzy black and white textures messing her vision as she looked through the slim fitted mask. But she liked it; it made her feel mysterious.
“Come over to the mirror, precious. Have a look”
Raven turned to where Jerry stood as he gestured to a full body mirror next to him.
Hips swaying from the high-heeled boots, she walked over and looked. A smile crept up her hidden face.
Staring back at her was the heart-masked woman with the neon and blue raver outfit she had always dreamed of. She kept staring. She loved it.
“Well?” Jerry asked with anticipation.
“It’s perfect!” Raven said, giggling slightly. Oh how very exciting.
“Oh, I’m glad you think so.”
Marie stood next to Jerry, smiling. “Are you going to show Mau5?”
Raven cocked her head, thinking. “Nah. He has to wait til the show.”
Marie chuckled. Then there was a knock at the door.
“Yes?” Marie asked, now standing in front of it to guard it shut.
“MAY I COME IN?” Thomas’s voice echoed from outside.
Marie turned back to Raven. “Is it alright if he sees?”
“Sure,” Raven nodded. She stood in the middle of the room, hand on hip. She felt like a straight up badass in her new costume.
Thomas entered and he was immediately drawn to the bright colors. The words ‘wow’ scrolled on his visor. “YOUR TOUR COSTUME CAME OUT GREAT.”
“Thank you.” Raven said, grinning. Of course, no one could tell.
“YOU MIGHT WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH DANCING PRACTICE WHILE WEARING IT. ITS MORE DIFFICULT THAN YOU THINK.”
“Don’t worry, I plan on it.” Raven replied. She was curious how Thomas would know what its like wearing a costume. “How would you know how difficult it is, by the way?”
“I’M A ROBOT. I didn’t always WEAR HUMAN CLOTHES.” He gestured to his black, leather get up. “IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE MY ARMS AND LEGS WHEN I First PUT THEM ON.”
Raven nodded, agreeing.
“IF YOU ARE DONE HERE, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE BOTH YOU AND MARIE TO THE STUDIO. GUY AND I HAVE PRODUCED A NEW SONG AND WOULD LIKE TO PREFORM IT FOR YOU.” The word ‘music’ appeared where his eyes should be.
Oh really… Raven thought. She had not heard a full song by them. She was very curious now.
The silver robot led them through the twisting hallways into the big open room. The giant, black pyramid was lit up and guy was already standing up on top. A heart appeared on his golden helmet when he noticed the company.
“YOU READY TO HEAR SOME MUSIC?” He asked, as his partner walked around the back of their stage to join them.
“Always.” Marie shouted back up, beaming at them.
