"Interesting." It was really all she could think of to say, for everything. She waited until the cat stopped speaking for a while to run her fingers through her hair, remembered at the last second that there was s tiara there and she should be careful of it. Alright, so it was time for more specific questions. "I have a few other questions about all of this, from a more practical standpoint." She took a breath, preparing to list them all at once. Adira didn't know which ones could be answered together, so the girl figured it was better to ask in chunks. "Firstly, what am I wearing, and why am I wearing it? And am I actually naked when I change, or do I just feel naked." It was an awkward question and she felt awkward asking it. Less awkward than transforming in front of someone only to have them see you naked though. "Secondly, can I stop wearing this? Thirdly, are my other clothes and items in tact? And finally..." The girl pulled out her new cellphone, looking at the strange device like it might bite her. "Why did you give me a cellphone?" It was a lot of questions, but they all needed answers. She hoped the cat could give them to her. She also hoped her heels were okay.

Fur finally seemed to be calming down, relaxing slightly and no longer making ********* look puffy. These questions were much easier, and most likely, were going to be the last questions she'd be answering.
"You are wearing a Sailor Fuku. It somewhat helps to disguise you so that even your best friends cannot recognize you as your normal self. You are never actually technically naked at any point in time... it just feels that way." Right, ********* was somewhat going the "Emperor's New Clothes" route. She honestly didn't know if a senshi ever went full-out naked, and in all honesty, it really didn't matter too much to her.
"You can indeed stop wearing that at any time. In fact, I suggest you do this right now to answer your third question. Just think of yourself back as your usual self."
The question of the cell phone went ignored by the cat for now, as she waited for the dark-haired girl to change back, but Iris already knew what was going to happen. Reaching behind her, she dipped into that subspace pocket and pulled out her own (gay) phone.
Whenever the girl was ready, Iris would be ready on the basics on how to use the phone.

Think back to your usual self? What was usual, anymore though? Sighing, Adira closed her eyes and felt ridiculous (again! How many times must a girl feel ridiculous in one night?). Not knowing quite what to imagine she thought about her trench coat and dress and shoes, and NOT wearing this fuku any longer. When she opened her eyes again, it was all there. Even her purse and wallet (it was good to know that magic transformations didn't steal your wallet, anyways). Adira stared at the pen in her hand a bit before tucking it into her purse. She grabbed the phone from right where she had left it, in the pocket of her coat. It was a curious thing. Not very high tech, but it seemed to color coordinate with her outfit (which was something?). "Alright. So, phone? Why do I need another phone?" Adira assumed something was special about the phone, but figured she had to ask anyways. Maybe it did something extra special, which would be nice since it wasn't much to look at. She much preferred her green crackberry over this thing. She could use the internet on that phone.

********* wasn't given the time to respond. Iris pushed herself up off the wall and then approached the dark-haired girl. Her answer to explain why the phone was something easy enough for some dumb kid to understand.
"It's a line fer Sailor Scouts."
This answer wasn't exactly up to standards for the cat, so she clarified "It is a communication network for the Senshi. It can work as a normal phone, but it really is meant to be a tool to find others like you."
"Yer tech-savvy, right?" There wasn't much of a pause before the blonde began to go show the girl exactly what to do. "Lesson one, scanning a person in yer phone." It was obvious that the Senshi of Rainbows was not the teacher sort. Sure, she was holding her phone in front of the girl to show her what to do, but she was going a bit quick. She pushed buttons and went through various menus before finally pointing her phone at the girl. "Then ya'd hit this button, it scans the senshi, and ya have their 'magic' phone number. WoooOOOooo!" Iris wiggled her fingers to add to the "mysterious" sound effects. The girl, however, didn't waste her time actually pushing the mentioned button. As a civilian, the girl wouldn't scan. It was no problem for her.
"You should probably scan Iris, just to make sure you understand how to do it on your own," ********* suggested before mentioning, "there is also a tracking feature which allows you to find Senshi that are in the local area. Transformed, of course. It can be helpful in an emergency as well."
Rolling her eyes slightly, Iris resumed her lesson, once more bringing her phone in front of the girl to show how to get to the tracking feature. In all honesty, Iris hadn't used that feature yet, aside from just occasionally pulling it up while messing around with her phone. A few button pushes, and a couple menus later, voila, tracking feature. Iris was clearly the only one showing up at the moment.

Adira flashed a looked that stated 'obviously' without ever actually having to say it. She flipped open the phone when Iris did, and followed her fairly easily. The phone worked just the same as any other phone as far as organization, even though its software was a bit archaic. It didn't take her long to get to the same point, and she held up the phone to the sailor in front of her. The phone made a slight beeping noise, and a little screen popped up saying that she had a new contact. It was fairly nifty, actually. The tracking map was a little difficult to navigate, the lack of design aesthetics were coming through. A little yellow blip was right on top of the green blip that must've been her own phones location. Which meant that it was Iris showing up on her radar. "Interesting. I assume I won't be getting a bill then, for this little thing?" She better not be, at the least. The last thing she needed was a magical bill showing up on the doorstep, singing about capitol hill or some other such nonsense. Her life was strange enough as it was.

********* let out a laugh. "Oh, I don't think there's a phone bill for these things. I don't think Iris has ever received one." She glanced up to the girl holding her and received a confirming nod.
"Anyways... we should probably get going. Make sure you get home safely!"
Taking this as her signal to head off, the senshi waved a hand crisply one time in the dark-haired girl's direction. "See ya 'round, kiddo!" With that, the yellow suited senshi ran off. She'd still be visible for a while, since her suit was so bright in color, but eventually, the cat-and-senshi pair managed to vanish from sight.

Weirdest night ever. Adira shook her head and walked a bit numbly home. She didn't pause or make a face at the few men who whistled at her. She didn't pause to answer the doorman's polite questions either. The girl took the slowest elevator ride ever to her room, chucked off her heels at the door and practically fell into bed. Clothes and makeup still in tact, the girl was asleep almost immediately, sprawled out on her down comforter like it was a raft at sea. Which it actually might have been metaphorically. A calm, familiar place in a new sea of unknown. When she woke up the next morning, she decided to skip class, and instead spent the day staring off into space in the park. The song that was stuck on repeat in her head was badly ironic, but it didn't stop it from looping through her thoughts. A whole new world... don't close your eyes...Freakin Disney.
