Who: Oliver and Kate Where: Cassi's! When: Roughly 2:30-ish What: Wardrobe changes and intrepid exploration, probably
Kate was glad she and Juliet had chosen to go to Cassi's first instead of the house to look for their key; they'd managed to find it and get themselves unlocked with time to spare. Kate had gone out to see if there was anyone else she could help, but must have been wandering in the wrong direction, as she hadn't managed to actually find anyone. After the deadline passed (marked by the loud bell from City Hall), Kate found herself at loose ends and still in town. And since she still needed a few changes of clothing, why not stick to her original plan of checking out the offerings at Cassi's?
The search for the key had actually had her going through just about every piece of clothing there with pockets, so she had a fair idea of the store's inventory. It had been strange indeed to see her own clothes on the rack for the taking, however, and it made her resolve to be careful about what she chose to take back with her. After all, she wouldn't want to take someone else's clothing. The more vintage pieces, however, looked like they might be fair game.
The first thing she did, however, was go through the consignment section upstairs and pull out the few pieces that were hers. The jeans that had held the morning's key, a chunky-knit black cocoon sweater, a blue plaid flannel shirt, a bikini she'd bought for a New Year's vacation to Mexico, and the most comfortable pair of low-heeled boots she'd ever owned. Why they'd put items from her closet in a clothing store was baffling, but after reclaiming the items (which was more of a comfort than she wanted to admit), she headed downstairs to check out the rest of what was probably safe to take.
