"No, no," Peri said. "You be happy you didn't give me a ballgown," she corrected. She'd have probably cut the thing to ribbons, making it more comfortable. Tailored... Peri blinked owlishly at Priscilla. She was just giving this away? "Thanks," Peri said, obviously surprised. Though she didn't want the damn dress.
She was already inching towards the door, with her own clothes tucked under her arm. If she could get out before Priscilla made her do anything else awful, she could call it a night. A long, long night. Before long Peri had made her way up the ridiculous amount of stairs to the fifth floor where the employees lived. She pushed the door open and entered, closing the door behind her with her back.
Peri rested there for a minute, side eyeing the ogre brothers on the couch. They were watching her, too. Surely wondering where the good outfit had gone and why she was wearing, so much. She glared and flipped a bunny ear from her face before pushing away from the door and finding her own room. She promptly kicked her own door closed and flopped face first onto the bed. In moments, Peri was asleep, a small snore coming from her room.
THE NEXT MORNING
Peri was laying on her back, still snoring. There was a booming on her door and she woke, "Huh? What?" The periwinkle-eyed girl rolled over and fell out of bed, wrapped in her sheet, and something else... Uhg, the blue dress. "Peri," Brumac boomed, "It's time for work," he said. "Hurry up." He was already on his way to the elevator that Peri still didn't know about.
She groaned and rubbed at her eyes. After a moment of realizing why she was here and what she was doing, Peri dug through her closet, grabbing some clothes and tucking them under her arm. She hurried out of the room and down the stairs, taking them two at a time until she stood at Priscilla's door.
Peri knocked once, and then harder a second time. She recalled having her master key. She hiked up the blue dress until suddenly she was holding a key. She promptly let herself in, giving a big yawn. Peri had literally just rolled out of bed, still wearing that blue dress. Her hair needed brushed, baldy, and her headband ears were wrinkled and flopped in opposite directions.
Downstairs, Brumac's brothers were already in the kitchen, and he was crossing the floor to unlock the front door.
