Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards putters in the matters of multidimensional physics and quantum molecular entanglement the way most men do with wood, metal or cars. He is in his lab this night wearing goggles and looking into the nature of the universe, "Hmm, interesting, that should not be there." He is the only one of the four, okay six, at home this evening. Sue maybe off doin business or developing machaevelian plans, Ben and Johnny off on their own adventures. He blinks as the indicator that somene has arrived on the external

Crystalia Amaquelin has posed:
There is a small wave towards the camera as Crystal looks up into it."Hello, anyone home?" she asks. She glances around for a few moments, and frowns to herself. "Maybe I should have called first," she says. Apparently she has been at this for a while, trying to capture the attention of the world's most brilliant scientist.

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards blinks as the message finally breaks through the cloud of equations and questions that swirl about him, "Ah, right. Costuming." Reed smiles and lets Crystal in, "I'm sorry Crystal, he's not around I honestly haven't seen Johnny in a few weeks but you needed some assistance with finding an appropriatesly fashionable way to mitigate the effect your powers have on your wardrobe?" Please come in. He opens the door and does to meet you leading into what looks alot like a fitting room in a bridal shop or high end dress shop. Reed smiles as Herbie joins him, "Herbie loves this sort of thing has goes full Edna Mode." Reed nods to Herbie, "All yours."

    There is a click and whirr as the floating robot descends to the ground and makes a sweeping gesture, "I have three lovely choices for you today depedning on your style choices, "They range from racy to demure, with a side of sleek sophistication. Where should we staht, dahling?

Crystalia Amaquelin has posed:
Giggling a bit at the robot's adoption of the accent, Crystal beams a smile at Reed. "Thank you, Mr. Richards," she says, before moving over to step atop the pedestral in the fitting room, turning her attention to Herbie. She thinks for a long moment about that, and then decides to just grin a bit. "Well, let's see what we can do. Maybe there is something fun." She leans over towards Herbie and stage whispers towards him.

"Show me the racy one first."

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards blushes and looks away demurely but doesn't leave. As herbie goes through a few options, somethings that would make J Lo or Janet blush (maybe) looking more like lingerie than streetwear and then some items which are more form-fitting than revealing, like club or rave attire, Herbie has done an analysis of your body type and the way you carry yourself from data publically available and has adjusted to the choices to accentuate your form and style.

Crystalia Amaquelin has posed:
Perhaps it is the Inhuman in her, or simply trust for Mr. Richards, but as Herbie brings over the selections, Crystal starts to remove her jumpsuit to prepare to try on the selections. She holds up two in front of her, and looks to Herbie. "Which do you think?" One is definitely one of the skimpier lingerie options, the other of the form fitting variety. She waits for the robot to weigh in, and then finishes stripping down before sliding the outfit on. She turns to admire herself in the mirror, considering.

Reed Richards has posed:
Herbie makes a purring noise. as he processes the options, "The first option complements your coloring, and shows off the shape of your body in a way that is revealing but quite flattering. You have a lovely body Crystal and no reason not to show it off. The other is a complementary color which can of course be altered as the can the fit to be more or less revealing, It offers more coverage which of course corresponds to greater protection in the event you should need, however unlikely you should need it with your powerset." The robot pauses as Reed pipes up, it's hard to tell if he notices your casual outfit change.
    "You are a beautiful woman Crystal, you would be stunning in either, I would say take them both, Options are a girl's best friend as Janet is want to say." He offers a kind smiles and his eyes linger for perhaps a moment longed than the should on your body.

Crystalia Amaquelin has posed:
Turning to look back at Reed as he admires her form in the nearly lingerie outfit, Crystal's cheeks take on a slightly rosier hue. "You think so?" she says, turning around a bit to try to look at her rear, mostly revealed by the outfit and its high cut. "I had not really thought about it, but..." She turns and looks back to Reed. "I suppose this could be a good distraction in a fight," she says, hopping up and down for a moment as if testing the 'distractions'.

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards coughs and smiles, "It definitely could, indeed. Some of the best." He chuckles and goes a bit rosy himself.

    Herbie offers a mirror so that Crystal can get a full view or any angle, "All the distractions are in tip top conditions, and well represented.

Crystalia Amaquelin has posed:
Stretching her arms up over her back, Crystal watches as the outfit clings to her even as she moves. "I definitely like this one, but I am not sure if maybe the other one might be better for every day use." She turns to look at the outfit still hanging from Herbie.

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richardsbites his lip as the move shows off her body to great advantage and he steps closer and nods taking them both in, the outfits too. He smiles, "Save this one for special occasions? I could see that. Would you care to try it on?" He offers encouragingly, and takes the outfit from Herbie to hand it to the inhuman princess.
