She's too shocked to move.

It took every ounce of self-control Marigold had to keep from giggling at Terri's oh-so-British panties. Seeing her friend in such a ridiculous pair was funnier than a drunk kitten. At the same time, Marigold felt like she'd been let into some kind of secret, exclusive club of people who'd seen underneath Terri's cosplay. She was the only one who knew just how deep Terri's enthusiasm for cosplaying Tracer went.

If she wanted to be a good friend, Marigold had to keep the secret of Terri's panties from slipping out (easy enough). She'd also have to keep from laughing every time Tracer-Terri saluted a British flag (way harder).

At long last, Marigold recovered from her 'coughing fit' and steadied herself on her caduceus staff. She looked up... and with a frightened "Eep!," found that everyone around her was in their underwear.

Bras, panties, boxers, briefs, thongs, tangas, loincloths; all kinds of people with all kinds of bodies, beautiful and less than beautiful, surrounded Marigold. It was enough to make her freeze in place, terrified that she was in some kind of nightmare where she was in school without any clothes. Marigold was overloaded with the thought of so much skin. The crowds around here were scary enough when they had clothes, and without them...

Well, everyone looked kind of silly, actually.

There was one man Marigold remembered that was dressed like Freddy Krueger. In-costume, he'd scared the dickens out of her. But with the glasses on, he was a goofy-looking guy in loose boxers with hearts on them. Likewise to the girl dressed as a giant killer spider from some video game; under her costume, she was just a girl with oddly-placed makeup and tight black undies.

Marigold felt the tension flow out her body in a rush. Maybe crowds weren't that scary; after all, what were they but a bunch of silly people wearing silly underpants? And if they somehow knew that Marigold could see them like this, wouldn't they be the ones embarrassed to be stared at by her?

The thought was so beautiful that Marigold couldn't help but smile.
