Joy sighed, "Okay, it's like this. Take off your skirt."
Alison jumped a bit... but nothing more. She didn't even make an attempt to take off her skirt. "Huh? I'm not even trying?"
"Ya, I know, it's 'cause we can't. These clothes are permanent... we can't take them off. They're real parts of US, as in our bodies. They aren't disguises anymore, they're real parts of what we are..."
Alison's eyes were wide... "So I guess clothes shopping is out of the question?"
Joy laughed.
