Gotta Make Do
It was only when Bethany was halfway through her spontaneous bonfire that she realised that if she burnt everything in the wardrobe then she would quite literally have nothing to wear.
Frantically she stamped out the lingering flames and did her best to dose the ever growing fire. It was only when she regarded a blackened piece of ruined denim that she felt her mood darken, not for the first time on this day.
Bethany's eyes cut to the ruined clothing in front of her and grimaced faintly as she came to the conclusion that she was in fact going to have to wear what was left of this woman's wardrobe.
God help her.
Bracing herself, Bethany rose to her feet and began to pick through what was left, choosing the less... hideous of items to wear. It would be temporary, Bethany was sure of this. She could handle it for a few days possibly weeks. Hopefully.
It was as she was rummaging through the underwear drawer that she came upon something of an interest: a personal diary. Hm. Bethany arched an eyebrow and took a moment to flick through it, affirming her belief that this Bethany needed to grow a set of balls.
"Cheated out of a promotion," Bethany murmured as her eyes traced the lines of scribbles. "Is that right?" Her lips curled and a glint entered both eyes as Bethany began to form a means of attack, glancing in the direction of the uniform that had been so carefully hung up and put away. "Guess I'll have to see what I can do about that."
Bethany snapped the diary shut and sighed as for a moment her gaze lingered on the tattered edges of what passed for this woman's nails. "Being poor is no excuse for poor personal grooming." Another thing Bethany would have to set right.
Clad in nothing but a bra and boy shorts Bethany strode through the apartment, grabbing a hold of the uniform on the way into the bedroom. It was after all nearly time for work if the reminder on this girl's phone was anything to go on.
Not that Bethany intended to be a barmaid for the rest of her stay in this world.
