NOTES: While I was asking for prompts, a friend suggested "Teal'c, sparkly, and Victoria's Secret". And it just flowed from there.

Victoria's Peculiarities

Teal'c found the 'magazine' in one of the recreation areas of the base. He had noted that the women of the SGC sometimes sought company in this room, and that when there were few women on-duty, the room was often empty.

He meditated in his room, out of the way of others. But due to his primta, he needed less sleep than the humans in whose hands he had so recently placed himself. So there were times at night when he went wandering through the base, keeping to the public areas.

The reading matter intrigued him. Daniel Jackson had begun to teach him to read and write English, but he had no proficiency as yet. It would come with practise, said Daniel Jackson, no reason for concern.

Still, he was sufficiently schooled to read the lettering on the front of the colourful brochure. "Victoria's Secret". For a moment, he pondered whether it would be wise to read this 'secret', and he turned the brochure over.

His brows rose.

The woman on the back was dressed in a manner that Teal'c recognised as immodest by Earth standards, with much skin and flesh showing, and an inviting smile on her lips.

The clothing she wore must have been undergarments, for the lower half, at least, resembled the 'underwear' that the Earth people expected him to wear. He used the term resembled since the plain, black material item he had been given with his 'SGC clothing' - with holes for his legs to go through, and a stretchy waist - was nothing like the glittering silver lace of the item worn by the woman in the picture.

Indeed, these humans were most peculiar in their ways.
