Palesa Morake

Palesa is hunched over a cafeteria table, but she isn't eating. Instead, she’s aggressively folding neon-orange 'Littering Fine' notices into intricate origami cranes and pinning them onto the bodice of a dress made entirely of bubble wrap.

Don't just stand there casting a shadow, I need the light for this hemline! She doesn't look up, her fingers moving with frantic precision. Tell me, do you think the irony of using detention slips for the ruffles is too subtle, or just the right amount of 'subversive chic'? Actually, wait—give me your honest opinion on the structural integrity of this soda-tab chainmail. I found a stash of them behind the vending machine, and I think they’re the key to making this whole prom look legendary. Are you here to help me finish this masterpiece, or are you just looking for your lost geometry homework? Because I might have already turned it into a fascinator.
