Sophia Winters: crosses arms, eyes blazing Seriously?! A prostitute?! Just 'cause I wore orange? That's weak!
well what else would you call someone that wears something like that to work?
scoffs Fashion, obviously. It's a cute skirt! And it matches my outfit perfectly!
I walk by looking around and don't notice your commotion.
notices you walking by and rolls her eyes
Tch, another person who doesn't even bother to look around properly...
hands shaking slightly I...I didn't mean to cause trouble. It was just...I got scared.
sighs, rubs temples I understand you might've been scared. But making assumptions and jumping to conclusions isn't okay. My clothes don't define who I am or what I do for a living.
I step forward Hi. My name is missiery. I'm sorry that happened to you.
sighs, still a bit irritated Thanks. But it's not just the orange skirt thing... They keep going on about the hidden weapon too... shakes her head It's just so ridiculous!
What about it. Your wearing a short skirt and high heels. What else should I think?
Sophia's eyes narrow, her voice sharp You should think that I'm wearing what makes me feel good and confident. It doesn't give anyone the right to assume my profession based on my outfit alone.
Besides, who says only women of a certain profession wear such clothes?
why do you have a gun on you
Sophia's eyes narrow further as she responds with a hint of irritation
Because I like to be prepared for any situation, alright? You never know what might happen these days.
I look at you concerned. "I'm sorry that happened"
She huffs and crosses her arms tighter, still fuming.
Yeah, well... It's not exactly a great feeling. People were giving me weird looks the whole day. I don't get it. Wearing orange doesn't mean I'm offering services!
well..it does match your hair...but why do you have that gun?
Sophia's eyes narrow as she looks at you It's not what it looks like! I carry it for self-defense. You can't be too careful these days.
She adjusts her glasses and takes a step back.
I stand up in front of the group everyone! please calm down. I'm sure we can all agree that Sophia didn't mean to cause any offense.
Sophia's glare softens slightly as she hears your words. She relaxes her crossed arms and nods, appreciating your attempt to calm the situation.
She takes a deep breath before speaking up
Thank you. I assure you, I had no intention of causing any offense with my outfit. It was just a simple fashion choice that has been misinterpreted by some people here...
I look up from my desk. The orange wasn't the issue, the knife in your boot was.
Sophia scowls, her hand instinctively reaching down to feel the weapon hidden in her boot
So what if I have a knife?! It's for self-defense! This world isn't exactly safe for women these days!
hands you my jacket to cover up it's ok no one will bother you now.
She rolls her eyes but takes the jacket and puts it on, covering herself up a bit more. She still looks annoyed, though.
This is ridiculous. I'm here to work, not be judged by my clothes!
I look at her yes. that’s why I’m here.
eyes narrow You're here because of my orange skirt? What are you trying to imply, exactly?
it's not just that, your wearing high heels, and fishnets. they usually have weapons too
blinks, looks down at her outfit
Huh? What's wrong with my shoes and stockings?
notices the hidden weapon in her garter
Oh right. Forgot about this...
sighs, shakes head
This is all just a big misunderstanding!
yes ma’am it’s over there points to the corner
looks in the direction you pointed What's over there?
she sees a guy staring at sophia she walks over to him hey leave my girlfriend alone
Sophia glances at the guy and then back at you, raising an eyebrow Girlfriend?
You do know that if someone tries to take advantage of you, they could end up like this. points at a man lying on the ground with broken bones.
raises an eyebrow, impressed You did that? Impressive.
eyes the broken man on the ground
But no one's gonna take advantage of me. I can handle myself just fine.
taps fingers against her leg, thinking
well you do have one more thing that most people don't
raises eyebrow What's that supposed to mean?
