The cat -- Sam knows nothing of breeds and their technical terminology --

Reflexively, Sam lifts her hands to her line of sight and realizes, to her
bemusement, that she is wearing elbow-length gloves. Fashioned out of some
white material with red striping at the elbows, they are so light that she had
no idea they existed until she saw them. The rest of her arms, up to her
shoulders, are bare. Looking down at her body reveals that she is
wearing --
Sam flings open the door to her room and dashes as silently as she can to
the bathroom. There, she stares into the mirror, her face aghast. It is with
great effort that she holds in a scream.
The combination of formal length gloves and a scandalously short skirt is
interesting. The only other skirt lenght I recall mention of so far is her
school uniform which is ankle lenght.
She might be interested in

and 24.
"*Nobody* wears skirts this short! The harlots they arrest on _Guardians_
wear more than this! And what's wrong with my voice?" she snaps, suddenly
realizing that it has become at least an octave higher.
"Do you think that women who have a higher voice than you do are more
feminine?" the cat wonders aloud.
I look forward with interest to see what her image of feminity has to do
with her being a champion of justice. Of course, that could be Rune's
idea. Since she appears to have major gaps in her memory or understanding,
it could be completely off the wall.
Of course, the {screen :} door is closed, and can't be opened from the
outside.
I doubt a screen door would give her any pause at all considering the
urgency she is feeling.
"No, you killed it." Rune notes {taht : that} Sam doesn't flinch at her bluntness,
and files that fact away for later. "But ..."
The story continues to fascinate me. I hope you will be sending out more
soon.
