[center][b][u]XXXTREME COLLAB CRAZY EIGHTS[/b][/u] - [i]Eighty Crates[/i]

[b]Summary:[/b] BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Crossdressing.[/center]

[Alex] [b]"Yeah... I'm fine. Really. Just you being here made me better already."[/b] He told her with a sheepish grin on his face. [b]"As far as the dress..."[/b] He began, looking down at his dress. 

[b]"I'm pretty sure I'm a lost cause."[/b] He told her, chuckling at himself. He picked at the dress and pulled it up. It felt awkward with his clothes underneath but he didn't really have room to complain. He didn't want her to have to help him. She'd had to do enough for Crash already. At the though, Alex's eyes darkened a bit. But he perked up again when he heard her tell him to ask his question. 

[b]"Uhm... Well..."[/b] He began, already losing his confidence. He took in a deep breath and turned to face Kathy, suddenly very serious. [b]"So... I had a pretty terrible mother. And by terrible I mean... not there. So... This is going to sound weird but..."[/b] He began, wringing his hands. He hadn't been this nervous in a while. It wasn't like he was doing anything too terrible. [b]"Could... you pretend to... be my mother?"[/b] He asked, very serious. He looked into her eyes, his own eyes clear and dead set. He wasn't joking and he wasn't really trying to be cute. 

"Come on, I can help you get into it properly. It's not hard at all." Thinking back at Crash, she felt a little guilty about letting Alex get away with something rather simple and innocent. But Crash was Crash, and he had been embarrassing her quite a bit lately. Alex on the other hand probably didn't need much more stress at the moment.

Listening carefully, Kathy couldn't help but look a little surprised at his request. "Mother..?" She repeated, feeling unsure of herself. She looked into Alex's eyes. This seemed to be a rather serious request of his. [i]'Oh dear... A mother though... What would I do exactly..?'[/i] She felt nervous about the thought, but after some careful consideration she ended up saying, "... If... You really want. Um... I'm not sure exactly sure I can be a good mother for you, but I'll try." Kathy figured he probably didn't mean something like literally being like his parent, but of something along the lines of being someone he could rely on and go to for help. That much she could do. In fact, if that was the case then she was more than happy to help him. She gave him a gentle pat on the head. "I don't mind at all Alex, if you're alright with me."

Vanessa Grinned at Seven floating above her as she thought of all the outfits she could put this little bakeneko in. She thought in her head back to what she had in her wardrobe...Most of it was black. She grinned and stood up. "Well if you don;t like my idea, any suggestions?" She giggled deviously as she thought of what to put this little cat in.

Seven wonder what he will be dress up as...or even will he even look good in a dress or a skirt? "Well...I wore a lot of frilly stuff before...Circus and things so I really don't mind on that but really...its your decision" He smiled carelessly as he jumped back down on the ground and scratched hie ears with his foot. "Oh I am surprised...." He gave s smirk that showed his mischievous side. "How you just don't notice me naked, how odd of people"

Anedine had decided to agree to Mercy's request on sharing Darwin in the cross-dressing competition with a cheerful nod and a glittering, timid eye. Unintentionally, the white-haired girl made herself look like something a guy like Ryuu would be needed to be rushed to the hospital due to heavy anemia, but despite how her cutish face looks right now, inside she was as determined and confident as a knight ready to go in a large-scale war while facing a thousand enemies (and ironically, she is actually afraid of such situations). She turned to face the outfits, deciding on which to pick that Mercy can also agree on.

Crash hadn't thought out his words very well, neither had he realized what he had asked her to do. He blinked in surprise when she came into the changing room having had expected her to hover in the doorway. Surprise aside he went completely red in the face as she laughed at him, lifting his hand to the back of his neck and casting his gaze to the side. "Yeah, yeah...laugh it up" He grumbled though there was the faint curve of a smile on his lips, he couldn't help it he had grown rather fond of her laugh. "Maybe can't say they really appealed to me...maybe I've just seen them on the wrong people. Not that I'll ever look at them the same after this" he answered with an awkward shrug, twitching away from her poke as if she'd shocked him with electricity."E-easy on the sides" He stuttered, the blush on his cheeks darkening as he tried to remain still while she zipped him into the costume discretely guarding his sides as she did. He huffed as he turned back round to face her, raising an eyebrow st her as she lifted a red ribbon towards his face he leaned forward and down so she could access his head easier eyes lingering on her face for a moment before concentrating on the door behind her, aware she could probably feel the heat radiating from his face. As soon as she was finished he lifted his hand poking the bow on his head. "You're really pushing the boat out on this..." He murmured as she handed him the socks and told him curves were required before leaving him to his own devices looking rather pleased with herself. It took him a few minutes to get his sock curves in place before he finally emerged from the changing room, despite feeling like a complete idiot he confidently strode out of the changing room looking rather proud of his look. "There are we happy now?" He asked Kathy having walked over to stand by her and Alex, he even pulled a ridiculous pose for them, dipping a hip hands on his waist. Though he couldn't hold it for long, chuckling to himself before looking 
over at Alex. "Is that all you have to wear? I feel overdressed for the occasion" Crash joked a friendly grin crossing his face. "Careful, this is what you can expect if you let Kathy get her hands on you" He continued the jest playfully nudging her side with his arm and grinning cheekily. He was deliberately ignoring the amused murmurs of a few other people.

Little Feather found herself smile back at the bunny, she hadn't seen one smile before...it was beyond adorable. "You're such a little cutie" She murmured to the bunny (Alistair) walked to the front of the crowd still stroking the bunny gently between his ears, realizing it hadn't spoken a word to her she cleared her throat. "Since you're staying with me, might I know your name? Otherwise I'll have to call you Hopper" She grinned at the bunny, deciding on a gender neutral name as she wasn't sure whether it was a he or a she. Lion looked up at her, as he came and sat next to her. [i]I know talking to animals is your thing, but you're wasting your time its just a stupid rabbit[/i] he grumbled at the dark haired woman, who tutted at him and looked over at the guys already at the starting line. "Lets check out whats in these chests" she whispered down to Hopper (Alistair) before subtly moving towards Carmen, approaching the chest from behind Carmen she looked into it with a raised eyebrow...it was full of so many peculiar things, shifting the bunny so shr could support it with one hand she crouched down and begun to rummage through it. "We should dress Lion up in this, too bad he can't participate" Little Feather grinned as she pulled out a small black and white dress unbeknownst to her it was in fact a maid costume. 

Mercy took the white haired girls silent smile as confirmation enough. "You're an angel, thank you!" She thanked her, tugging Darwin over to the nearest chest. "We've got to be quick the race will start in a minute!" She told them both practically diving into the chest throwing various drab dresses out of of it as she dug around. Reappearing with some pink ruffle lace panties which she threw to Darwin before diving back into the chest finally pulling out a burlesque style corset this particular one was short with a feather trim around the hem, although it was white in color the front was bejeweled and rather sparkly. With lines of glittering jewels trailing up the bone lining the front of the corset joining into the jeweled chest piece that was shaped to specifically to fit a woman. "We have a winner" She grinned holding the burlesque costume out to Darwin. "Would you not agree?" She asked her partner in crime (Anedine) handing the costume over to Darwin. "Quick put it on lets see what it looks like, I'll tie you in" She grinned at him, dipping back into the box and pulling out a long pair of white stockings, a bejeweled choker and a pretty Victorian style pale pink fan. "Accessories for you" She grinned at Darwin though feeling a bit guilty for taking over she turned to the cute white haired girl beside her. "Sorry I didn't mean to take over...erm...Where are my manners, I didn't even catch your name...." Mercy trailed off hoping the girl would step in and introduce herself.

Save could see that the 3ds suddenly was lying in the sand "what the hell" she could see Cyber and Ara running of while Cyber still tried to grab his 3ds "Hey don't leave me" but it was probably already to late to even try shouting at him. She got out of the 3ds and watched around her seeing other people playing games that she couldn't join herself "yeesh now I'm gonna be stuck her for forever seeing other people have all the fun" she got back in the 3ds as she played around trying various things. She found a list with devices that the 3ds could connect to. She soon noticed that she could just go to other devices and play around in them. She dashed over multiple devices of the students leaving the 3ds behind as she did so. Most of the cameras that she could use were just the smartphones of the students that lied somewhere were she could not see anything. She ended up in the phone of Darwin and could hear some people talking "Quick put it on lets see what it looks like, I'll tie you in" She just realized that she might be able to just use the speaker of his phone to get their attention "Hello somebody there"

"Oh there is this cross dressing event where guys well, were girls have to dress up the guys but sadly not enough guys are here so we might just have to watch. Oh I am Garden by the way, nice to meet you!" She gave a weird look at the girl "Wait why would there be something like that on the beach." she thought back and just realized that she was with 2 guys the whole time but where could they have ran of to "Damn bunny, well I was with 2 guys just recently but I sort of left them behind in the forest" She putted her hand behind her head and made an awkward laugh

Alistair wasn't entirely sure how she expected him to talk, but she did appear to have some kind of telepathy with the creature so he decided to try, he closed his eyes for a second trying to send his thoughts to the girl 'I'm Alistair" he opened his eyes and looked at her again.
she started walking over to the chests and started rummaging through, she held up one and said they should dress 'Lion' in it, Alistair assumed that was the creature, and also assumed the child was making a joke. she didn't appear to have heard him but she did seem like a sweet girl, and he wanted to thank her, so he suddenly hopped out of her arms and looked up at her. his body began to fade out as it shifted and grew till he was in 'human' form. he was about eye-to-eye with the girl.
He smiled "i'm Alistair, the Bunny, i wanted to thank you, i panicked earlier when your..." he looked at Lion "lion, was going for me so i couldn't transform, you saved me, thank you"

Darwin grinned at the two girls while he thought about magical dolphins in the water. He was completely oblivious to what would come next, but he was happy he was oblivious, he loved surprises. Suddenly he was hit in the face by a pair of ounj ruffle panties to which he chuckled and threw them off his face. Then suddenly Mercy had emerged with an amazing, fabulous, AWESOME costume. Darwin didn't care that it was fir girls,bit was just right for him! He grinned and grabbed the corset before turning away and slipping it on. The chest area felt a bit empty but it was an alright fit. He turned around for Mercy to tis him in as he got ready to out on the stockings. "Nice pick by the way!" As this happened he heard his phone shout something. "My phone is talking." He said to them seemingly unfazed.

Though normally she would have felt a little bad at making someone blush so much, for some reason Kathy simply found the entire situation to be highly amusing. Perhaps it was because Crash himself did not look [i]too[/i] troubled and sometimes even smiled back at her. It was rather reassuring and made even this kind of awkward situation rather fun. Raising a slight brow at his reaction at the poke, she had a slight feeling of déjà vu. “Say, could it be that you’re rather weak at the sides?” She asked, grinning.
 
Looking up, she saw Crash looking surprisingly dignified in the bunny costume. “Yup, very happy. Maybe you should consider wearing stuff like this more often.” She laughed as she felt a slight nudge on her side. Then sticking the tip of her tongue at out Crash for a brief moment, Kathy hugged Alex while giving him a pat on the head. “I wouldn’t do that to poor Alex. He’s adorable enough the way he is.” Then letting go of the boy, she gestured towards Ara. “At least I chose something that’s fairly easy to move in. Look at that one.”

Ara looked at the boy (Cyber) funny. “Found what out..?” Obviously since he didn’t know that he (Cyber) dressed like this as part of his usual attire, Ara was rather confused at this strange question. He stopped pushing the guy towards the course when he asked for an explanation about the event though. “Wait, you mean you don’t know?”
 
Now the pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fall into place. “Aaah… I get it. You’re one of those, aren’t you? What’s it called, ‘traps’?” Instead of looking disgusted though, he felt rather amused. It was the first time Ara had met one, and that alone was fairly interesting. “It’s an obstacle course where all the guys have to cross-dress. Seems like you’re very well-suited for the event.”
 
Then hearing the guy (Cyber) laugh, he shrugged. “Yeah, my partner had quite a bit of fun with the outfit I got assigned to wear.” Then deviously, Ara began to wave his hand in the air and yelled out, “HEY! This guy over here needs a partner!! He’s trying to sneak out of something better by getting himself dressed!”

"Oh, it was [i]so[/i] much fun!" Carmen piped up as Ara talked with a new face. "And you enjoyed it thoroughly as well, didn't you?" she returned to Ara with a devious smile. Carmen was having too much fun, and then she noticed the redhead she now knew as Crash from the bar dressed in a seductive bunny suit, and burst out laughing. "Excuse me for a moment," she said to Ara while still laughing. "I [i]have[/i] to check this out." Noting that the redhead girl who presumably picked that out for him was looking at her, Carmen approached her first, still stifling a laugh. "Pardon me, but I must say I [i]love[/i] what you've done with him," she said to the girl (Kathy). "You certainly have a wonderful taste in fashion...and comedy, of course." Pausing to think while looking back and forth at Crash and Ara (and noticing some of the other outfits being put together), she continued. "So terribly sorry about back at the bar, by the way...though as you can see Ara isn't currently enjoying himself [looking back over to the wedding dress-clad doppelganger], and I must admit I enjoyed that exchange almost as much as I'm enjoying this one. [i]Surely[/i] you understand," she finished, before hastily introducing herself as well. "I'm Carmen, by the way," she said as she extended her hand for a handshake. "And you are?"

Little Feather was oblivious to the bunny’s attempts to communicate with her, she looked a little surprised as it hopped out of her arms. As he morphed into a human however shock quickly crossed her face, frozen to the spot as he formed into a rather attractive young man right before her eyes she felt the blood rush to her face realizing she was staring at him she threw herself back with a small squeak of apology. Lifting a hand to her mouth as she listened to him thank her from saving him from Lion, she was slowly calming down by now trying not to think about how she had treated him as a bunny...”I-I’m so sorry! I had no idea you were not...a bunny” She apologized to him. [i]Oh my god I called him Hopper![/i] Little Feather got to her feet unsteadily. “And I’m really sorry for Lion’s behaviour! He’s harmless really...except maybe to bunnies...” She was rambling a little bit now. The Indian girl had never experienced something like this, pure embarrassment it usually flew straight over her head yet here she was red as a hot chilli pepper and stumbling over her words. She nervously pushed her hair behind her ear. “I’m Little Feather...its nice to meet you” She introduced herself as well. Lion came up next to her his tail wagging in amusement. [i]Make him compete, you’re wishes were apparently answered[/i] The lion purred his jowels lifting in a smiile, as he looked up at Alistair. Little Feather felt a mixture of feelings over the subject, nervous of even thinking of asking him that...excited by the idea of participating. “A-are you a student here?” She asked him curiously. 

Crash shook his head vigorously before he could stop himself as she asked about his sides. [i]Ah no! Act casual keep this low key...[/i] He’d missed this opportunity. “Not at all” He shrugged nonchalantly offering her an easy smile in an attempt to cover up his weakness. 
Crash lifted an eyebrow at her, inwardly grimacing at the idea but deciding to play along. “Why not? I’m thinking of adding it to my wardrobe for special occasions” He jested, an affection smile greeting her childish gesture as she poked her tongue out at him before turning and hugging Alex he rolled his eyes at the pair of them. “Favouritism” He pointed out clicking his tongue, though the amusement in his expression hinted he was still joking about. He looked up as she mentioned the other contestants, he was barely able to stifle a laugh as his eyes fell on Ara...he may not have looked quite as ridiculous as Crash but it was still amusing on all accounts. He turned to look at Carmen as she spoke to Kathy, raising an eyebrow at the pair recognizing her larger than life hat, she was his triumphant opponent back from the water balloon event. As Carmen congratulated Kathy on her costume choice he couldn't help but feel like a prized Guinea Pig...well maybe not so much prized...He frowned as she mentioned the bar, but he was merely eavesdropping so didn’t open his mouth to ask, he stood next to Alex watching the exchange between the two women who were clearly both more devious than they appeared...this Crash was sure of. 

Cyber stop laughing as he heard the guy (Ara) answering his questioned well loud request... "Yes...I am one of those traps..." He blushed and stick his tongue out like a child. The first guy ever from not his family to find him out so quickly... he panicked a bit well not a bit he seemed really worried, his cover was going to get blown and soon enough he couldn't use his charms to get what he wants. “HEY! This guy over here needs a partner!! He’s trying to sneak out of something better by getting himself dressed!” The guy shouted as he waved his hands... Cyber really began to panic, he ran towards the guy and tried to make sure his cover isn't blown. "HEY! HEY!" He...with full panic as he was really worried and can't deal with this guy and his cover being ruined...in a way glomp him very tightly making sure he doesn't say much or anything at all. "DON'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE!!" He started to hit the guy on the head like a child having tempur tantrum. "IF YOU DO I WILL REALLY MURDER YOU UNTIL YOU DIE!" ...'okay maybe use my words better...' But he made sure he can keep his secret well...skills a secret.

Garden was very interested at the girl she was talking at but one thing struck her mind when that girl said something. "Damn bunny, well I was with 2 guys just recently but I sort of left them behind in the forest" ...uh what? 'You...left them? That's kind of...un well...and well...why?" She was really curious on why she would leave two guys...at the forest! She scratched head and scratched sunflowers head making him gave a mewl. "You are so cute!" She said as continue to pet the little kitty.

“?” Ara looked around to see what Carmen was just finding so amusing. Turning to gaze at where she was running to, he also burst out laughing. “Seriously?! Wow, that girl’s a lot more fun that I would’ve thought.” His impression of Kathy had basically consisted of her blushing and curling up into a small ball back at the bar and hiding behind Crash, so he never would have imagined she was capable of doing something so bold. Though his costume was ironic and too hard to move in, he felt quite lucky himself now. A bunny costume… Not even B would’ve wanted to wear such a thing.
 
He barely managed to keep his balance when the trap (Cyber) suddenly jumped at him and began to wave his fists around. “Tsk, ow, hey!” Then hearing the threat, Ara grabbed the boy’s head under a vice grip and squeezed as hard as he could. He growled out, “Brat..! Either learn to ask nicely or just try it. I’ll floor you if you dare.” Then getting an idea, a smirk came back to his face. “Or know what? Why don’t I just announce what you really are to everyone here? I’m sure no one would mind me borrowing that megaphone over there for a few seconds.”

“Okay, then I suppose you won’t mind the occasional prodding there every so often? You know… Since it isn't a weakness at all.” Kathy laughed, clearly taking advantage of the situation. He was already a lot better at making her blush though so it was only fair she could get have a trump card of her own. Noticing the click of Crash’s tongue as she hugged Alex she chuckled, “Did you want a hug too?” An instant later, she blushed a bit. It had just slipped out naturally, but now that she thought about it she didn't really think she would be able to hug Crash so nonchalantly. Luckily for her, the blush was fairly light and she became distracted by someone else approaching them.
 
Kathy recognized the girl coming up to them. It was a little difficult to mistake someone that stood out so much in such a large hat. “O-Oh, thank you.” She was a little surprised to be approached in such a friendly manner, but seeing that Carmen didn't seem to have any bad intentions she accepted the hand and gave her a firm handshake. “Kathy. It was… Quite embarrassing, but it’s fine now. Thank you.” Then gesturing towards him she added, “By the way, this is Crash. I’m not sure if you’ve met him yet.”

Alistair was slightly amused by the girl's reaction, she was stumbling over her words "no need to apologize, i was acting like a bunny" he smiled. She apologized for lion's behavior, he waved it off "it's alright, it's a natural response, just a little scary when you're the one being attacked" She was extremely red, he had watched enough human's to recognize this as a 'blush' something humans do when they're embarrassed. he felt his own cheeks heat a bit and he chuckled. Lion came up beside the girl and Alistair gave him a nod of hello.
“I’m Little Feather...its nice to meet you” Alistair smiled "it's nice to meet you Little feather" she asked him if he was a student and he couldn't help but laugh "so that's what you all are? No i'm not a student, i live here, thank you for asking"
"what exactly is this competition that is happening?"

Andromeda smiled when Maria said she could take over "Thanks!" she watched as she walked away, then she turned to Andromeda "so ... um, what should i dress you in?" she walked over to one of the chests, unsure of whether he was actually following. She leaned down beside the chest and started ruffling through it "do you have any ideas, Ryuu?"

Cyber was getting really scared and worried....at first it seemed he could handle that guy (Ara) But now...he is the one getting threatened as the guy was vice grip his head tightly. It hurt him really badly...He squirmed trying to get out but the guy seemed to be to strong for him. “Or know what? Why don’t I just announce what you really are to everyone here? I’m sure no one would mind me borrowing that megaphone over there for a few seconds.” ...Cyber really began...like really began to panic, he felt like he couldn't breathe nor move, very thing went to fast for him and the only to probably process everything was... "WWAAHH!!" He started to cry and weep like the little child he really is. "No! Please don't tell!!" He shouted, cried and struggle to get free. Tears pouring down his face. "Okay! okay! I will do the stupid race thing or whatever! Just don't tell!" He cried out, weeping and shouting like he was scolded really badly.

Ara knew he had been quite threatening, but he hadn’t expected him (Cyber) to just suddenly burst out into tears. He could already imagine B’s smirking face telling him, [i]‘Oh dear, oh dear. Look at what you did A. Such a mean guy. Why don’t you take it easy and let me be the one to walk around from now on? I wouldn’t make such a dumb mistake.’[/i] Clicking his tongue in annoyance, he loosened his grip on the guy’s head and let go. “Dammit, I get it okay, I won’t tell. One minute you’re a twisted brat that doesn’t know how to say please or sorry, and the next you’re crying like a fountain. Geeze you’re busy.” Sighing, he continued, “I honestly don’t care if you participate or not so just do as you please.” Rolling his eyes, Ara walked away before things got any more complicated and troublesome.

"If by 'met him' you mean domin...errr, fought ferociously in a game of water balloon dodgeball, then yes, I suppose I have," responded Carmen to Kathy's introduction to Crash. "Other than that, I only know that he has red hair, his name is Crash and he looks positively [i]dashing[/i] in a bunny suit. I mean...what more is there to know?" she said playfully. "But in the interest of completeness, I suppose we should meet formally eventually instead of merely being near each other a lot," she offered to Crash, extending her hand again to shake his hand. "You two do look happy together...is there a thing? Or is there going to be a thing? [i]Should[/i] a thing be considered? It seems perfectly natural anyway...you both have red hair! And a competitive streak, for sure," she finished, reminiscing about the dodgewater match earlier.

Little Feather played with the ring on her finger absently avoiding looking Alistair in the eye, she instead concentrated on his shoulder or maybe his chin or cheek. She was glad he seemed to be of good nature about the whole situation. “I can imagine it would not be a pleasant experience” She murmured to him, repeating her previous action of pushing her hair behind her ear as he chuckled, she smiled as he said it was nice to meet her as well. She figured she was getting better at this interacting game...She blinked in surprise as he laughed her cheeks coloring a second time. “Y-yes...I oh, I didn’t know anyone lived here! Does your family live here too? I thought it was part of the school. [i]Cub, give the guy a chance to speak[/i] a rumble passed through the lion’s chest as if he were laughing. “Oh...sorry about that” She frowned looking away and running her fingers through her hair nervously. “From what I can gather the girls are all dressing up the guys in these strange clothes” Little Feather explained to him reaching into the box and pulling out the outfit from earlier and holding it up to show him. “Perhaps...you would consider competing?” She asked him out of the blue adding from memory a phrase she had Mercy say. “You’d look cute in this” She smiled, obviously unaware of her social blunder the lion beside her however put a paw over his nose. [i]I don’t think that phrase would work so well here Cub[/i] Lion grumbled causing Little Feather to blush for the third time. “Uh-um-I mean...” She started up though trailed off very quickly, holding the outfit more to hide herself from view now. [i]Pull yourself together Shiko...[/i] 

Crash groaned inwardly knowing full well he’d given her a trump card. “Of course not” He answered her though the smile he gave her was definitely a little strained. Crash was surprised by her offer, he hadn’t meant to incite that reaction he wouldn’t have declined one but it’d be an awkward exchange at this moment. “Perhaps if I cross the finish line” He grinned at her trying to make light of the situation. He was readjusting his ‘socks’ as Kathy gestured to him, he looked up at the pair instantly stopping what he was doing, he was about to say something when Carmen begun to speak, his eyebrows perked up at her wording until she changed her tune. He allowed a chuckle to escape him as she complimented his ‘bunny suit’ “Why thank you” He grinned at her half bowing as he was unable to bend freely in his current attire. “I should probably warn you I’m [i]extremely[/i] clumsy just so you’re aware, apart from that I think you’ve got it covered” He added before taking her hand and giving it a gentle but firm shake offering her a wide smile as he did. “I would be inclined to agree with you” He dipped his head in a nod releasing her hand, he’d barely retracted it before she’d moved the conversation on...straight into uncharted territory. [i]Did she?! Is she?![/i] Crash looked positively stunned by what she was saying, the last time something even close to this had come up Kathy had been forced into a ball. Crash wasn’t quite sure what to make of it all, perhaps he didn’t want to admit anything...but neither did he want to deny anything. He lifted a hand to the back of his neck a bashful look flickering across his expression before he settled on a neutral but warm smile, his mind instantly began to sort through multiple branches of action within a matter of seconds he had come to what he believed to be the best solution. “Erm...yeah sorry about that by the way I can get a little competitive in sports like that. I didn’t hurt you did I?” He opted to change the subject gripping the last part of her question, this had to be safest route...right? Concern leaked into his expression before he could stop it he couldn’t help it even if she had assured him at the time he had already considered adrenaline could have been in play before. “Kudos to you for that last assault, you owned me that time around” He quickly added, trying to keep all traces of color from his face though his pulse was pounding in his ears.

Ryuu gulped. Thankfully enough, Maria seemed to move away from him. Andromeda definitely seemed like a better option to stick with right at the moment, though he personally thought that being dressed up by any girl was embarrassing in its own context. Still...

When Andromeda asked of him for some ideas, the otaku thought carefully.

"...It'd be cool if there was something like a... sailor uniform. Or something like that," Ryuu said. He hoped that at least one of the uniforms, if there were any, did not have the color pink on them.
