Pursing his lips, Megamind was a bit suspicious at how quickly she agreed, but ah there it was! Shaking a finger, he answered, “Ah, no, no, I’m afraid I will have to insist upon the bag, Miss Ritchi,” he expected the standard protest, but he quickly held up the bag. It was a new one, just for today, orange with a jack-o-lantern grin to add to the theming, “I can’t have you using your willy reporter skills to learn my secrets.”
Looking over her outfit again, he realised how long she said she’d been out. Presentation really was everything. The both were used to putting on a public face and he’d always made sure she could look her best before being on camera. So he offered, “Did you want to freshen up or change first?”
She pressed her lips together and let a sigh pass through her lips at the sight of the new bag,she hated to admit it but he was right about that.
She nodded her head once in agreement before looking down at her outfit delicately but slowly running her fingers over the very soft fabric of the skirt and the long sleeved corset type of top and she felt her cheeks flush slightly at the sudden thought running through her mind: how was she meant to get the top off on her own, she really didn’t want Megamind to see her cloth less body so getting changed into something else while he was here was really out of the question.
“Oh yes I think it’d be the right idea to freshen up a bit first before going on the cameras after all as you always say: Presentation is everything. I won’t be a moment” She answered before she turned and walked into the apartment room heading over towards the bathroom.
Once she got there, she shut the door and removed the cape and the wig so they wouldn’t get in the way while she was redoing her makeup.
Checking his watch, Megamind sighed. This was going to put them dangerously behind schedule, but it would ruin the night just as much if Roxanne had running make-up or had a wardrobe malfunction. It would hardly be the first time he’d called a fight for those reasons. Still, it frustrated him. The Pum-King had to be tonight! Otherwise, he’d have to wait until next year to use the bot!
Following her into the apartment, Megamind wandered into the kitchen while Roxanne shut herself away into the bathroom. Idly and brashly, he poked through the fridge. Maybe he should get a drink while he waited? He could only guess how long it might take. His own costuming would take hours if he had to do it without the assistance of Minion and his brain bots.
