Makima

The character selector eventually landed on an unfamiliar character Vanessa has never heard before.

"Makima...? Who is that..." Vanessa mumbled.

She was a rather plain character. But undeniably, she has THAT aura. She was black and white except for her red hair and yellow eyes, colors that grab your attention. Additionally, her eyes had a ring pattern to simulate hypnotism. This choice is a scary one, so Vanessa knew this character had to be from a horror franchise somehow. Her curiosity piqued, Vanessa finally made the selection.

Robotic arms began to bring the character's clothes to Vanessa's sight and put them onto her. White dress shirt, black dress pants, black necktie and black overcoat. Then another wrapped her black hair to a net and put the red braided wig. Finally, the robot arms gave her the yellow contacts for herself to wear.

Vanessa stepped out of the costume machine and stared at herself in the changing room mirror. She felt pretty! She wore her own shoes back and walked to the cashier where the scrawny man tended.

"Whoa. You chose *her*?" The man was surprised at first, and then smiled. "Oh, not to scrutinize, it's just that character has quite the reputation. It looks great on you. Enjoy your costume! Make sure you bring it back by maximum 24 hours, okay? That means 2 PM tomorrow - but the contact lenses are yours to keep!"

"Okay," Vanessa smiled and nodded before stepping out to walk some more around the mall.

(Author's note: I suppose Vanessa took off her shoes before going in the machine. Most cosplayers outside of competitive purpose wear comfortable shoes to stand around. The character Makima and the whole Chainsaw Man cast has a lot of costume freedom, to be honest)
