Sting Operation

September 3rd 2010

"Ugh! This is taking forever!" Kol exclaims in a high pitch, whining tone.

It's been a while since they woke Becca up. Why? Because they needed to teach her about the twenty first century and everything thats changed since she was last awake. And as Stiles did such a good job with Kol he was voluntold to teach Becca too. So, Stiles has been working on getting Becca situated, Kol has been helping as best as he can with insights that Stiles never would have thought of. Stefan has been sulking and trying to stay clear of Becca and Nik's been trying to find the talisman using his supernatural networks.

And Becca has been, A) absorbing everything Stiles tells her like a sponge, which makes Stiles sad about how many times she'd had to do this for her to become so good at it. B) Sulking that Stefan isn't as into her as when she was last awake. And C) arguing with Nik about who's fault it is that her necklace is missing. Stiles has been having a really hard time remembering what the necklace even looked like and it's been bugging him nonstop.

Now though, that they've finally got Becca mostly up to speed they needed to get her some clothes. So far she's just been wearing whatever clothes Nik has been buying her. Which is mostly fine but both siblings have very different fashion styles. Therefore they are currently in a clothing shop as Becca tries on different clothes until she eventually finds stuff she likes.

"Shut up, we've only been here an hour, you took longer to find clothing than Becca." Stiles chuckles as he leans himself back, snuggling further into Kol's chest.

"I need to look my best if I'm going to be standing next to someone as perfect as you." Kol informs.

"Oh god, please stop." Stefan huffs.

Stiles and Kol both turn to glare at the young vampire. Nik can groan and moan as much as he wants about their ooey gooey displays of affection. Stefan, however, can not.

"Ugh!" They all hear from the clothing room, "There has to be more to this dress!"

"There isn't." Stiles informs.

He knew this would be an issue. Becca was used to the longer more conservative dress lengths that only seem to be on ball gowns and summer dresses nowadays. He thinks she'd be better with some trousers, he's seen her wear some before and gripe about the strange looks she would receive if she wore them out and about.

"So, women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then? You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers." Becca snaps as she stomps out of the dressing room.

She's wearing a black dress that stops at her thigh and also shows off an awful lot of cleavage. No wonder Becca was having difficulties.

"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing." Nik teases.

"We can get you some trousers if that would make you feel more comfortable." Stiles offers. "And maybe you could try some shorts."

"Shorts...? Women can wear those now?" Becca inquires, looking really unsure of herself.

"Absolutely, mind you, you're going to have the same problems with some shorts as your having with some dresses with them being too short. Oh and if you want clothing with pockets then you either need to buy from specialist stores or from the mens section." Stiles says.

"Women's clothes don't have pockets? Still! Do we have to continue to make our own?" Becca questions, sounding shocked.

"Women's clothes don't really allow for home sewn pockets anymore..." Stiles admits.

"Oh my god!" Becca exclaims in annoyance. "I thought this was supposed to be a more progressive time."

"It is...mostly. Black people are considered people, though there is still racism. Gay people are more widely accepted and there has been talk of legalising marriage for us, there is still homophobia though. Um, women are now allowed to vote and not just that but they are also allowed to be in positions of power without significant backlash but some people still believe that women should stay home and just raise the kids and take care of the house. But all of those people are in the minority now." Stiles explains.
