    The next day dawns bright and clear, a hint of crispness lingering in the air. It's easy enough to figure out which storefront belongs to Janus, with their signature two faced mask hanging above a window filled with enough gadgetry to delight the heart of any cosplayer. A closer look would reveal that they were running a special on steampunk items - a manikin was trussed up with a gorgeous corset over a green velvet skirt and racks in the windows were filled with brass covered prop pistols.

    It's early in the morning, just minutes before the store opens and it's easy enough to see the employee's moving about the shop, getting ready to open up for the next day. They may be hoping for repeat business after last night's success at the ball, where they sold out of nearly their entire stock. But so far, there are few cars in the area, save for one a the far end of the block. A close look might reveal a person sitting in the front seat, but it's hard to make out any details at this distance.

    Coco

    Mask: A slim, young woman with dyed hair, a mischievous smile, and laughing brown eyes.

    Mien: Coco's eyes are split into four facets that give a kaleidoscope appearance to her irises and two delicate antenna are perched on her forehead. Her nails are also like pieces of black carapace.

    Additional Identifying Features:
    A tattoo of a jeweled wasp sits perched atop a thick and gnarled white "branch" that stretches several inches upwards from her left wrist, though the branch is clearly a scar.

    A tattoo of a frayed, torn, and dirty golden banner trails around her right wrist, with another long scar forming the "mounting" for the banner.

    Coco's eyes are split into four facets that give a kaleidoscope appearance to her irises and two delicate antenna are perched on her forehead. Her nails are also like pieces of black carapace, and her waist is tapered much like a wasps.

    Mantle:
    Surrounding Coco is the subtle sensation of warm sun and the smell of fresh, floral growth.

    A cab pulled up across the street from the Janus Storefront and a woman in a yellow and black track suit stepped out onto the sidewalk, a katana at her side. Someone had been watching too much Tarantino apparently, but for the hero known as Coco, the resemblance was simply too striking to ignore. The character of Beatrix Kiddo had more in common with wasps than just their color pallet, after all. She was a deadly protagonist; determined and incomparable in skill. Perfect inspiration for one such as Coco, particularly given the costume shop she was about to visit today.

    Now all she had to do was wait for her side kicks to arrive and they so that they could pursue this latest villain and she could add this episode as yet another feather in a cap that would put a peacock to shame.

    She was Cosima Tascioni, after all. This was simply what she did.

    Tally walks from the nearest bus stop close to the Janus Storefront, she's wearing a brown t-shirt sporting a red fox and blue jeans. Her wolf whistle is out for all to see. As she approaches, she notices that Coco arrived before she had.

    "Coco." She greets the Spring Courtier with a friendly smile.

    "Well hello, Tally," Coco replied, shooting a beaming grin at the hunterheart.

    "Might I say that you're looking rather foxy today," she added, throwing a rakish wink at the other woman.

    If you'd like we can just have the two chat until InvertedMonkey isn't sick and can post in.

    Once again, the war rig makes it's appearance, rumbling into a parking spot. But it's driver isn't the Imperator anymore. No, it's merely the Iron Queen, the General of the Freehold, wearing no costume but her own, leather jacket and jeans, and the power of the crown flowing through her mantle. Given this, Ramona finds it a little odd that Coco has chosen another costume for her day's attire. She gives the Wasp a questioning look as she approaches the two, "... What's with the Kill Bill getup?"

    "Ah, Ramona!" Coco exclaimed when the Iron Queen appeared, an irrepressibly wide grin greeting the latest witness to the astounding tale that was soon to unfold around the Wasp and her most clever choice of apparel.

    "It's a magnificent outfit, isn't it? Dashing, if I do say so myself. Just consider it a nod to my muse for the day. It shall take quite a bit of cunning and bravery to delve to the truth of the matter before us, and it always helps to dress the part. Besides, it's a costume shop, isn't it?"

    The Wasp blithely shrugged, then turned and began to stride across the street, directly across the street, crosswalks be damned.

    "Just follow my lead," she called back over her shoulder as she made her way to the shop.

    She watches the Wasp steadily, glancing at Tally as she begins to move of, then back to Coco, "... Alright." If Coco wants to take the lead, she can take the lead for now. She and Tally know more about what happened last night anyway. Ramona follows Coco inside.

    Tally gives Coco a bemused look at the foxy comment then turns toward Ramona, she nods a greeting. With Coco taking the lead, she waits until Ramona goes in second before entering after. Once through the door, she takes her time as she looks at what's on display along with the store's decor.

    The interior of Janus boasted everything the heart could desire in the art of altering one's image. Up front were all the ready made items; props and wigs and displays helpfully pointing out what a customer might need to pull a look together. As one ventured further back, there was a counter placed where a clerk could oversee the entire store, followed by a section devoted to the serious makeup artist.

    The walls of the shop were covered in glamour shots of people in various costumes and looks and there was a schedule prominently posted on the wall behind the counter advertising tutorials and seminars. There were one or two clerks moving around and arranging things, one of which broke off and headed their way as the cheerful jangle of the door chime.

    "Hello! Welcome to Janus, where you can wear your true face. What can I help you with today?" Eyes bright and obviously over caffeinated, the young woman had obviously been experimenting with some of the shop's wares - her hair was dyed in a spectrum of colors and she had what looked like a temp tattoo framing one eye, while the other boasted a small spray of glittering gems.

    "Well hello, Madame Stardust!" Coco brightly replied, almost as though she were demonstrating just how bright and cheery one could make their greeting. "We would like to speak to Mr. Luna today! It's about an order, you see. Very important. Do you think you could show us back?"
