Hotaru starts to come downstairs from the upper floors. She hasn't been around the bar very much recently, and in any case, it's time for a break. ...Er. Excursion.
She's finally dressed in different clothes - just as concealing as usual - but today she sports a brown mock turtleneck, dark red pleated miniskirt, with opaque black tights and her usual black mules -- until... she gets to the middle of the staircase. Mid-step, the clothes suddenly and silently whirl and fade into something starkly different.
The turtleneck and skirt morph into a short, thick, red dress, white fur lining the edges. Big, red boots with white trim are on her feet now, and there's a red stockingcap, likewise lined in white fur and with a fluffy white bob on the end of it, now on her head.
The only difference this getup has to a typical Ms. Santa uniform is that her tights are still on, (thank God for that, at least), and at the neck is a large, violet ribbon tied into a large, drooping bow, with a silver, star-shaped brooch of many, many, many points on top of the knot.
She stops in the middle of the staircase, and looks down at her new clothes.
She feels up to the hat on her head.
Finally, she begins to walk down the rest of the way to the bar. She does not look pleased.
