Characters: Rachel, Edna Mode, people in BPH that might wander by, I guess? Content: Rachel needs some new clothes. Location: Bryant Park Hotel Time: sometime around noon? Warnings: Er... there may be an angry grizzly at some point?
Edna turned the corner tersely, all business in her pleated-satin overcoat, and tiny tapping shoes. More than short, she was tiny but walked with an imperious confidence that overwhelmed the very air in her path.
"Dahling, there you are!" she crooned too-familiar, approaching Rachel at a pace that was at once too-quick, fast for the length of her legs in a way that made the woman seem to glide along rather than step, but not faster than an ordinary walk for a taller person. Edna stopped, far enough away that she was able to give Rachel an assessing once-over, hard judgement clear in her eyes.
She looked down at the tiny woman, her surprise evident. "...You're Edna Mode?" she asked bluntly, maybe a bit rudely. Well, she certainly wasn't expecting someone like... this.
"Ah, so, you are just as rude as you seem." She deadpanned, unimpressed, but continued in a brighter vein almost immediately, transitioning without delay, "But no matter, dahling, no matter, I have dealt with far worse, come-come, turn around. I must look at you."
She raised an eyebrow questioningly. Was this woman for real? Well, whatever, she supposed she should just play along. Restraining herself from rolling her eyes, Rachel tossed her jacket onto a nearby chair and turned around.

"You are 'Rachel,' are you not?"
