The Cosmos, The Arrivals, Book 1, Chapter 11, Kimju & Molly: Tiffany Prepares for Babs' Inspection, Day 1, Section 5, Babs Orders: Robyn & Kimju to Kitchen ? Molly to Mirror

Robyn, discharged from the Bathroom by Tiffany and dazed by fresh makeup, returns to the Bunkroom and discovers herself face-to-face with Babs. Babs, punched twice now, turns to face a Pledge Robyn who didn't hear Kimju and Molly's revelation about the Alumni Reprise. {Robyn isn't aware of just how flustered I am at this moment! BB turns, realizing, Robyn is not a part of this problem.} BB stoops and praises Robyn's makeup, "Gotta love Cleopatra's Strippers." BB reaches out with her fingertips and fingers the neckline of Robyn's elastic maillot cutout. BB points out, "Smallest buttonhole!"

She gathers her reserves together. Her babambas sway but, thanks to gum arabic, stay contained without her thinking about them. She presses her shoulders back-a widely-spaced shoulder strap is all that covers them-and addresses her two ex-Strippers: "Listen to me, both you. I don't want to have to look at your painted nipples any more.

"You," Boss Babe commands Molly, "press your mazoomas up against the Mirror and kiss and make out with yourself."

Molly moves quickly. She snuggles her mams together so her colored areola press tightly into the Mirror, and adores Mirror with lipstick and surplus nipple paint.

"And you," Boss Babe commands Kimju, "cross your kajoobies with your hands. Keep them that way. Just make sure I don't have to see them anymore. You like that?"

Kimju does, and she trades eyes with BB as she carefully and deliberately crosses her hands and arms in front of herself. She notices Molly seems indifferent to her; she seems drawn into Mirror.

"You," Boss Babe commands Robyn, "take your Roommate down to the Kitchen. Sit her down in a chair, and brief her on the on the significance of Tiffany's Porn Star Calendar."

"Brief Kimju?" Robyn echoes.

"Don't tell her anything you've forgotten," Babs mocks.

Babs tilts her head to the now clenching Kimju. "You keep a hold of your handbra, observe Tiffany's Porn Star Calendar, pull aside, and arouse yourself."

Kimju knows she can do this. "Ma'am, yes, Ma'am!" She tries to catch Molly's eye, but Molly seems engaged in kissing the Mirror. Kimju scrams down the angular stairs. The masturbation question has been answered.

Robyn looks at Molly; Robyn's heard about Mirror.

Boss Babe snaps, "Move!"

And Robyn skedaddles.

Babs watches the Bikini Babe in the Mirror hike her bra with both hands. Bling 24x7. She watches her finger the nombril's waistline and tidy it along its tan line. Babs turns and looks at Molly slowly kissing herself and feels guilty. {Maybe I overreacted?}

Babs blinks, pinches her lips together, and marches herself toward the Bathroom.
