The post office

Meril just shrugged, the naked woman unsure exactly where to go to begin with. This was a new town, one far smaller than the last she'd lived in, the scale was off for her, services she'd took for granted far less grand. One place that could be important was the post office though, she could have mail and was suspecting that given the space between houses there wasn't a delivery service for that sort of thing.

"Hm, drop me off at the post office I guess, just got to..." She bit her lip again, those feelings creeping back, nervousness, excitement "...check if I've got any mail, assuming this is one of those kinds of towns"

"That it is" Kara replied "The kind of town where you need to go out here to check your mail, that is. You gonna be walking home?" The question made Meril realise that this was literally her only ride home, unless she decided to try walking back again which could prove interesting. That being said, avoiding sore feet did sound good for her first day in town.

"I did leave my van at home, but it would be nice to catch a ride back...how long are you going to be in town Kara?" Meril asked, hoping to try and get a lift back.

The redhead checked her watch and frowned "Looking to be out of town in a couple of hours, tops. Just gotta grab some things around town, I can wait around for you a little bit but I can't be too late" Two or so hours, Meril added that to her mental notes "Say, meet me back at the post office? If you're here I'll pick you up, head back and drop you off, if not I'll wait ten minutes and go. Sound fair?"

"Sounds fair to me" The new nudist, the newdist said with a smile and a nod as the post office came into view "I uh, think I can see it now, just drop me anywhere here" Meril almost immediately cursed her politeness as Kara pulled up a fair walk away from her destination, to give her credit Meril DID say 'anywhere here' without thinking too hard on it.

"See you in a couple of hours!" Kara called out as Meril carefully slipped out of the passenger seat, bare feet finally touched the smooth concrete slabs that made up the sidewalk. This was it, she closed the truck door behind her and finalised her transition into being fully nude in public. She was naked, standing there in such brash attire, something she'd never be caught doing back at home.

Meril bit her lip again and looked around, she felt eyes on her, of course despite only being there for a few moments she'd attracted attention. Kara's truck began to pull away, exposing her even more to prying eyes. She took a deep breath and began to walk, acutely aware that her very being here had slowed this area of town somewhat. Cars had decreased in speed, presumably so drivers could get a better look. Pedestrians were loitering in spots, Meril could see them whispering to eachother, or simply talking, either way she could not hear.

The totally nude woman tried to centre herself, focussing on the post office. As that, her destination helped to ground her she realised something terrible. Meril had left her purse in Kara's truck. She hadn't exactly been holding onto it and was far more used to carrying an actual bag over her shoulder, but decided to travel light. There was no chance of her chasing Kara down again, her truck had already left visual range. Groaning to herself she carried on, mentally listing off how the loss of those items would make things more annoying.

Firstly her phone, no internet or calls until she at least set her laptop up, which was also at home and therefore equally out of reach. Her wallet, which contained her cash, credit card and her ID, which given one of her jobs was to buy groceries for herself made that a decent bit harder. The ID could be problematic in it's own way, what if any of these services needed any kind of ID? She was confident in that she wasn't going to buy any booze, well given how this was going already she wasn't entirely sure anymore. Then there was the kicker, the house key. She'd took the spare key with her, unless that was the main key, either way for all intents and purposes she was locked out of her home naked, an excellent intro to a porno flick.

Finally reaching the post office Meril took another look around. She hadn't passed anyone on the sidewalk, so the only looks she was getting was from afar, too far away for them to be easily read, meaning every look automatically read as judgement. The nude woman pushed that thought aside, but they still lingered rent free in her mind as she pushed open the door. Stepping inside the warmer air outside was contrasted by the cool air inside, the AC being taken advantage of, clearly. The post office on the inside was as expected, a room wide front desk with a few forms here and there for various things. This was being flanked by a wall of shelves and boxes, each one likely corresponding to either a person or address.

Meril took a step further in, the door closing behind her with a small bell chime. She hadn't noticed anyone just yet, unsure if she should be thankful to be away from all those prying eyes outside. Looking down at herself as she stood, hands behind her back she realised her body had certainly reacted to the sudden cold. Her nipples were firm and erect, skin covered in goosebumps. Meril let out a sigh and resigned to simply having to get used to it, the human body reacted in many ways in regards to things like temperature, it was only natural.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Came a voice from what looked like a backroom, it was masculine, sounded...not soft but certainly friendly. It was probably why the sudden voice hadn't made her jump, almost sounded like an old friend she hadn't met yet. Meril didn't mind waiting a moment, sure she was on a time limit that also now included the risk of being trapped outside her home, but they sounded nice enough.

After a very short wait Meril noticed the door open up, then a slightly portly man came walking backwards into the room, holding a small stack of boxes. He looked younger than his voice had implied, his short combed hair still looked a natural dark blonde "Sorry about the wait, I was just a bit busy with a delivery here and..." That's when he turned to set the boxes down on the desk...and noticed the naked woman standing in his post office "I uh...m-ma'am are you okay? Are you lost?"

Meril tilted her head to the left a little, somewhat amused by two people thinking she was hurt now "Oh no I'm fine, really. In my right frame of mind, just here to check my mail" She replied with a smile.

The gentleman averted his eyes when he realised eye contact was impossible "Yes but, yo-you're not dressed, do you need some clothes?" He asked, a firm undertone to his voice, though he still seemed worried.

"No thank you, I don't need to get dressed, but thank you for offering" Meril said politely, she hadn't thought up a routine or a method for explaining this yet, so was essentially winging it "I uh...want to check under 'Meril Brown' please" She blinked and considered that she might be too much of a newcomer to be listed by name in places like this. "That or 'Nymph Meadows'..." The proper name for her new home always made her smile a bit "...34 Bareback Road?" The more accurate name was decidedly less amusing, but was still worth a smile.

Her conversational partner seemed a little less eager to assist than before "But...but you can't just walk around naked that's a crime!" He sputters, in both a spat of annoyance and worry. This is about when Meril gave him a quick look over, spotting a crooked nametag on his shirt reading 'Hello My Name Is: Greg'

"That's a common misconception" The nude woman said with a small nod, calmness won people over, most of the time "A few months ago public nudity laws were passed allowing nudity on public property, so I can be legally nude. I'll admit I'm not sure where the divides between public spaces and private ones are" Meril added with a shrug and a smile. She was being honest though, these laws applied strictly to public places. She had zero idea whether private businesses would allow such a state of undress, it was noted in the laws she'd read.

Greg unfortunately only seemed more confused "Nudity laws? What kind of...miss are you trying to make up an excuse to walk around naked?" His tone was slowly starting to grow less cooperative by the minute, this situation was starting to **** and Meril hadn't many cards to play, if any.

"I implore you to look it up, please. I don't want to come across as some kind of freak, I'm new in town and I'm a nudist" Meril tried appealing to him, she already knew Kara was friendly but that was one person, if she could only win one person over then her naked days here may be numbered "I'd just like to practise my lifestyle"

The portly gentleman seemed a little hurt at that, his face was firm, but cracks showed. Meril was in no way a therapist but she could tell there was a kindness to him, a roughness too, which seemed to come to blows here. That being said this was an **** situation, innocent naked woman walks in then tries telling you she's exposing herself intentionally, if she was in his shoes it'd raise red flags.

To his credit though his expression stiffened, and he nodded "Fine I...give me a moment..." Then he went back through the door he entered through, closing it behind him. Meril was now naked alone again, unsure of what to do, where Greg had gone exactly. Had he believed her? Had he gone to another room to call the cops on her? Her anxiety quietly spiked, as did her excitement. She wasn't getting aroused by this, well, she wasn't sure she was. This was more the kind of excitement one might have in a game of tag or hide and go seek. The risk had elevated, but so had the reward.

That's when she felt the door open and close behind her, the bell ringing to signal someone had entered. Meril was still a little wired from that conversation and hesitated to turn around. Too bad the unknown stranger had saw her first, not that it was terribly hard. The stranger let out a wolf whistle, Meril could feel her body being probed.

"Goddamn..." A sultry female voice purred "Girls these days have the most interesting fashion choices" The nude woman looked to her right, where the voice seemed to be coming from and came face to face with...what she could only call a modernday gunslinger, except without the guns and the hollywood. There stood a woman of remarkable swagger, a well built form garbed in thick leather boots and a hardy work outfit, dripping in western style. As Meril's eyes met the stranger's face she saw a strong jawline, pointed features and mean blue eyes, all framed by a head of shoulder length strawberry blonde hair. The only thing she was missing was the ten gallon hat.

"So" The stranger began again "Are you whoring around like that because you're **** or...?" Her tone reminded Meril of the meaner girls in her school, who went around to every other girl making sure they were on top. Her expression matched this impression, a wicked smirk was plastered on her crimson lips.

The nude woman just sighed and rolled her eyes, already she was dealing with drama, she hadn't even been here a day "No I'm just a nudist" Meril stressed, she'd be lying if she said she didn't feel a little intimidated at the moment "I'm not looking to get laid I'm just...it's a lifestyle okay?"

"Is that so?" Blonde and bitchy asked with a curl of her lip "Y'know I could try turning you into the sheriff, say you caused a 'disturbance' or something" Meril just narrowed her eyes, she wasn't sure exactly what she'd done to earn the ire of this woman, but this wasn't a simple gripe "Can't have a naked newcomer just wandering around with her tits out, now can we?"

Said naked newcomer leaned in a little "The law says that I can, I'm not causing any trouble, I'm just here to collect my mail" She said, folding her arms to accentuate her point.

The stranger simply just raised her hands a little in mock surrender "Well don't you have some fire to you? You watch yourself out there, life can get pretty troublesome for a newcomer with no friends" She finished with a chuckle, before heading back outside again, the door closing and letting out a ring. The fact that she didn't wait around for Greg lead Meril to suspect that woman had come in simply to threaten her like that.

"Bitch..." Meril muttered under her breath, she wasn't about to be pushed around by some high and mighty asshole like that, not somewhere she'd just moved into. Thankfully that was just about when Greg walked back in, closing the backroom door behind him.

With a sigh he set his hands down on the desk and looked Meril in the eye "Hey uh, I went and looked up what you said and...sorry I was just, I was out of line" The older man was certainly genuine with his apology "Look I just..." He held a hand out as he tried to explain, gesturing as he spoke "...I have a daughter who looks about your age and I got a bit protective, saw her in you and all that"

The anger that had bottled up in her seemed to dissipate as Greg spoke "It's fine, really I get it, woman walks in nude and expects you to be okay with it? Pfft" Meril just rolled her eyes "I'll be honest, this is a little new for me too, the nudist thing. Keep that between us though"

"Between us...?" Greg asked, confused "You think I'd go and tell people about this?" He looked even more confused.

Meril simply nodded "Yeah, no offence but if I saw someone naked in my place of work I'd tell people, besides this is a small town, I'm expecting word to spread fast. Just keep that one thing secret okay?"

"Okay" He replied with a nod and a smile, then in realisation, turned towards the mailshelf "Right uh...sorry we got distracted, your mail is..." Greg checked over each box with remarkable speed "Don't have your name here yet but your address is here, just three letters it looks like" He handed them over, making sure to keep his eyes averted out of respect.

"Thank you" Meril said with a grin, her positive attitude now back up to full strength as she held the letters under arm "I'll probably see you around though, I really have to get going!" The pair said goodbyes, Meril slipping back out into the public, back out into that sunny day. With her first target met Meril now had, by her count probably an hour and a half or so to explore town. A task that on paper was trivial, of course with the added difficulty of total and complete nudity.
