"Pressing Matters!" the mayor announced, tugging the curtain down and revealing to the crowd the store that lay behind it. It was immediately apparent, however, that "store" was not nearly grand enough a descriptor. Rather, the boxy amalgamation of brick and metal, which contrasted gaudily from the mostly wooden buildings on either side, would be better compared to a factory. For a brief moment, Texas questioned how the relatively small curtain was able to mask the entire thing. "The finest undergarment store this town will ever need!"
"Undergarment store?" Texas questioned to herself with a confused scowl on her face. "Ain't any kinda tailor shop I've ever seen..."
"Running this fine establishment are the wonderful Bunbun sisters." Vivian continued, gesturing to a line of ten small rabbit women that Texas had only just noticed. With the size of the new store being the primary attention grabber, they were honestly not hard to miss. Each sister appeared the same size and age. In fact, had it not been for the brown spots that peppered their blanket white fur in random patterns, they would've all been identical. More curious, they all wore the matching outfit of what was best described as a blacksmith's apron, and nothing else! "Why don't you introduce yourselves?"
The bunny closest to Vivian stepped up to her and stood side-by-side. Vivian was nearly twice as tall as her, it seemed.
"Hello everybody! My sisters and I are excited to make our mark here in this modest lil town. My name's Bea, and these are my wonderful sisters, Bailey, Becca, Bree, Brook, Bonnie, Becky, Barb, Brigitte, and Tina. We guarantee you we'll craft the best undergarments you can ask for. You can commission any material, and by golly, we'll get it done for you. Assuming you can pay for it, of course." The bunny woman spoke cheerfully. "We'll be setting up shop for the next couple of hours, but we'll can still take any orders if you got 'em. Thank you, and I hope to be doing business with you all!"
With that, the bunny took a bow, and she and her sisters lined up and poured into the entrance of the immense storefront.
"Hmmm..." Texas pondered as Mayor Vivian wrapped up the announcement. "I don't know what it is exactly, but somethin' about that store is giving me a bad feelin'. If Mayor Vivian's giving it such a high endorsement, then it just can't be good..."
Texas wondered if she should investigate the matter...
