Trying to reach privacy

She wasn't even off the bridge when the... thing acted again. Rather than going for any of the clothes she was desperately holding onto though, she felt it prise off one of her shoes.

It figured; she supposed if they were really going to stick with the whole 'wanted her to be dressed like Eve' theory, and honestly that would hardly be the weirdest thing that had ever happened to them, shoes weren't exactly around in Eden either.

She stumbled because of it, instinctively lifting her arms to get her balance on the wall, and immediately regretted it.

Once her arms were elsewhere, it was free to once more start toying with her clothes. Her undone top flared out as she stumbled, and was quickly tugged back, pulling her arms with it; she nonetheless regained her balance, but yelped as the plaid garment was pulled off of her, landing discarded on the floor.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the same instant that happened, her jeans and panties were yet again pulled to her ankles.

Zari absolutely refused to look behind her, to once more look in the eyes of her teammates as they saw far, far more of her body than she ever wanted them to. Her bra, already undone, straps sliding down her arms already, was all she had covering her top half.

At least she was facing away from them. Zari swallowed, then chose to stumble the short distance to the door of the bridge.

It was quicker than fumbling with her jeans again, while the entity did its utmost to keep her naked. She hated leaving her top behind but at least she was out of sight.

"Gideon!" Zari yelped, "Close the door!"

She almost fell over, trying to run with her jeans around her ankles. The moment she was through the doorway though she exhaled.

They'd seen her as good as naked, again. But at least she was out of sight, at least-

Something tugged on her bra; hurriedly she crossed her arms to hold it in place.

"No!" she said. She stared at an empty spot of air, imagining that was where... whatever this thing was, was. "No, you are not taking any more of my- ah!"

It pulled on her other shoe. She'd almost have been happy to let it take that, maybe that would calm it down, but it followed up by trying to tug her jeans off her feet; panicked, Zari stomped down again, then crouched to try desperately to pull her jeans back up.

Her cheeks were burning by the time she did. In too much of a hurry to worry about neatness, Zari started to run back to her room. If this thing was going to keep trying to strip her, there was no way she was staying out in the open!

Barefoot, Zari ran with one hand on the back of her jeans, hoping to resist any more tugs, and one hand crossed over her tits to hold her bra down and in place.

She hated the squeal that escaped her lips when the entity had no trouble wrenching her jeans out of her grasp. It wasn't even being subtle now; maybe it had learnt. It pulled her panties and jeans down as one, legs trailing over her feet.

She stumbled, and reached down yet again to try and pull it up; the spirit resisted.

Oh god. Was she really going to struggle for ages in the corridor, sticking her ass out like this and hoping-

She was close. Zari swallowed, then started running again, leaving her jeans and panties behind. What was a nervous run quickly became a frantic sprint.

Just so long as no one saw her. She let a whimper escape her lips, now she was alone, and turned into the corridor where her room was.

She barely resisted as the entity tugged on her bra; almost at the door...

Her last garment trailed behind her, falling to the metal floor just outside her room as the now nude Zari slipped inside, panting from exertion and humiliation.

Now to just wait it out. So long as it only wanted her to get naked, that should be it, now she just had to get dressed when her team came back with a solution. And, hopefully, stay dressed.

"Happy?!" she said, audibly frantic.

She rolled her eyes at the silence, and slumped back onto her bed.

Sara looked up from the control console, her hand surreptitiously hiding the symbol that meant the security footage was being recorded. "Ok, Zari's safe in her room," she said, shuffling to make sure no one else saw the details of what she'd been watching. "Let's get to work."
