As they walk through the shop, Yue sees all sorts of fanciful gowns, dresses, suits; everything one could ever think of and more! He brings her before a set of mirrors and asks her to remove her clothes down to her undergarments so that his assistant, what looks like an eight-year old girl whose face is bright red as she looks at Yue, can take all the proper measurements. While Yue is doing this, he asks Yue if she would like her hair styled or colored or anything of the sort, as well as what sort of outfits she would most enjoy wearing.

"Hmmm...I've always wanted to try on a dress...But they aren't very suited to the kind of activity I tend to do. Just yesterday I was trudging through a swamp, which would seems like it be very hard to move through in a long dress. Yue says, as she strips down to reveal that she isn't actually wearing any undergarments. "While a dress would be nice to wear during special events and the like, I'd prefer something more form-fitting for everyday wear. I like outfits like that because it makes me feel like I'm being hugged by my clothes."

The measuring-tape girl nearly faints straightaway when Yue reveals she is wearing no undergarments, but Romero deftly wraps a cover around Yue and instructs the girl to fetch some appropriate undergarments for the customer. The whole time, measuring-tape girl has not made a single sound save for the faint thumping of her feet on the floor. She returns shortly with a set of lacy, white undergarments in Yue's size and bows as she offers them to Yue, eyes glued to her own feet. Meanwhile, Romero has been taking notes on Yue's stance, her hair, and other such things. After perhaps an hour's worth of standing around being measured from every conceivable angle, Yue leaves the shop with her mother and several brand new sets of underclothes suited for a lady along with the promise of many sets of regular clothing (both formal and informal wear) within the week.

"Wow, these are really comfortable! I wish someone had told me about these 'undergarment' things sooner!" Yue says, humming a happy tune as she practically skips alongside her mother back to the carriage.

The carriage ride back home is uneventful. Once home, Himari ensures that Yue gets some of her sisters' spare clothes for the week so she's not just wearing the same old thing every day. After some more catching up, Yue is free to go where she will within the house.

Yue decides to try and find the attic, on account of it seeming like the place where interesting stuff would be.

The attic proves to be inaccessible, though Yue does wander into the room where she bumped into Nue before. No snoot boops this time though, it seems. So, she decides to check out her sister's room. It's... surprisingly bare bones. Oh sure, it has a four-poster bed and all the amenities that a young noblewoman might typically enjoy, but it seems... empty somehow. Like none of these things are even used. There are certainly signs of the room being 'lightly' lived in, but beyond that, it seems like Nue barely uses this bedroom.

At first, it seems like the room is entirely normal. Then, Yue trips over...air? and flops to the floor. She hears an audible click as she lands, and a small section of the wall opens up. Too small for a human unless one is a contortionist though.

Yue releases Bubbles, on account of her being both small and telepathic, and asks her to investigate what's on the other side and report back using telepathy.

Bubbles heads on through the hole to see what's on the other side. There is a faint 'raaaaalllttss' that echoes slightly from within the hole and goes silent. Moments later, Bubbles reappears next to Yue, unhurt. She reports that she accidentally fell down a hole that she didn't notice when she went though. It was a big hole. Also, the crawlspace there in the wall is definitely big enough for a person about Yue's size, though with Yue's 'squishy chest area', it might be a tight fit even if she could get through the opening.

Yue thanks Bubbles and recalls her into her Apricorn. She then proceeds to try and squeeze into the opening in spite of her 'squishy chest area'. Acrobatics: jjbbFgq03d6

Yue manages to squeeze in, though it's a tight fit. On the other side, she finds her breasts are a bit big to fit in here comfortably, but it's not too painful. Unfortunately, she can't see a darn thing in here and whoooaaaa! Yue goes tumbling down the hole that Bubbles mentioned, having been unable to see it with her body blocking all the light from the room. Luckily, it appears to be a slide, so even with a less-than-graceful descent, it's not too damaging. The landing smarts a bit though, as she goes rolling across the floor to slam into a stone wall.

Yue picks herself up and looks around, trying to get her bearings.

Looking around, the room where the slide ends contains nothing of interest. However, Yue hears sounds of a whip cracking and rattling chains from nearby. When she follows the sounds, she finds... Nue... whipping somebody that is hanging from chains. The sounds that this person makes, however, don't sound like pain...Nue seems pretty absorbed in what she's doing and doesn't notice Yue enter.

Yue decides that Nue is too busy to keep her company and instead looks around for an exit.

It takes awhile, and Yue finds lots of neat things scattered about, but eventually she finds a door. Well, more of a 'wall panel' than an actual door, but there are stairs behind it. Sort of. It's a small set of stairs that leads to a knotted rope leading up.

Yue tries to climb the rope rather than interrupt Nue's fun. Athletics cRtVXXT|2d6 2d6 |

Yue successfully navigates the rope and finds another sliding wall panel at the top. Pushing it aside reveals an opening into the hallway just outside of Nue's room. There's just enough room at the top of the rope for someone to crouch in hiding, and without knowing the wall panel moves, nobody would ever be the wiser. It takes a bit more work to get the panel back into place from the outside, but Yue manages it.

Yue also goes back into Nue's room to try and close up the opening. She had heard it was rude to leave a door open like that.
