In which BSA gets friendly

DFL swept open her cape and cocked a critical eyebrow at her outfit.
"Well, I prefer a toga, but at least the skirt is short, and once again I lead the fashion world with the return of the strappy sandal!"
"I don't think the straps are supposed to wind to the knees." BSA commented helpfully as she appraised the shoes.
“NO DISSENT!!" DFL raised a commanding hand, “This outfit is Rockstar Awesome!! That’s my propaganda, and I’m sticking to it!"
“Although" WW snickering as she made her first foray into fashion commentary, “it would probably be better in say June, after some sunny days."
DFL shot WW a haughty glare, “Rockstar. Awesome." She repeated firmly.
“Right, well now that we have our ..er rockstar awesome costumes it’s time we were on our way!" TA strode over to the wall and thumped on a panel, which slid open to reveal a hidden intercom. She pressed the button and said “The Swans Fly North by Moonlight" with a woosh, yet another secret panel slid open to reveal a dumb waiter with four stylish bracelets.
TA grabbed the bracelets and handed them out. All the bracelets were made of intricately threaded silver, which wrapped around a strange stone in the center.
“If you press the stone in the middle," she instructed, “the bracelet transforms into a jet pack. See." She pressed the stone, which then flicked rapidly through the color spectrum before warping into a sleek, black jet pack. “I recommend you don’t have it on your wrist when you do that" TA added as she slid the pack onto her back. It disappeared in the shadowy blackness of her gi.
“Cool!" WW excitedly pressed the stone on her bracelet, which transformed into a golden jet pack, with eagle wings on the side and a helmet shaped like the head of an eagle. “Why is everything of mine ostentatious?!" she sighed.
“How much did this cost us to buy?" BSA asked as her put on bat shaped pack.
“It was all done in house!" TA restored the secret panels.
