[center][b][u]CALL LAB SECTION X[/b][/u]: [i]Are you from Tennessee? 'Cause you're the only ten I see.[/i]

[b]Summary:[/b] Even more crossdrWAIT THE RACE STARTED[/center]

Ryuu grumbled as he began to look through the chest filled with... frilly... things. The otaku literally felt the stench of "3-D" coming from some of the clothes. He really did hate some of the clothes women wore. Sure, it was up to the women to decide on whether they'd actually wear anything at all, but that was just him being the generous farmer he always had been. ((still working on this))
 
Looking back at the small 'boy' (Chris), Kathy smiled and replied, "Yes... But I promise not to pick anything too extravagant or strange if you don't want that sort of thing. Do you want to participate?" Then realizing that she had never even introduced herself, she held her hand out and added, "By the way, I'm Kathy. It's nice to meet you."

Ara’s devious grin grew wider as he watched Crash’s reaction at his words. The guy was fairly good at trying to make light of things, but that hardly mattered because he got proof that the red-head was actually quite bothered by it. [i]‘If you’re gonna try, you should at least stay strong from beginning to end.’[/i] He thought to himself.
 
Glad that the trap (Cyber) seemed quite satisfied and occupied with Crash to notice him, Ara was going to focus his attention to making strategies for the course when he saw the small boy (Cyber) whisper something into the redhead’s ear and let out a giggle. Though he hadn’t been able to hear what they were saying, he commented, "Woah, two-timing? Well... I'm not one to judge on orientation, but your tastes don't seem to match between your partners." With his brow raised in question, it was pretty hard to tell if he was being serious or not.

Cyber was really laughing his guts out as he did that to the red head (Crash). He didn't hear anything if the guy said something he was just laughing to much. He turned around as he was at a good amount of distance and watched for the event to start. While looking around as the race thingy wasn't starting yet he grew quickly bored....he wanted to play some GTA 5 yet his PC was still not fixed. "God dammit I am SOOO BORED!" He shouted as he slumped a little...boredom was getting to him as a impatient brat.

Carmen was delighted when the man she had discovered was doing something other than harrumphing. As he walked to the dressing room, she followed cheerfully, saying "Ah, see? I knew you'd start coming around!" She followed him in, immediately walked behind him, and zipped up his dress. "There, see? That looks [i]lovely![/i]" Not one to back down at any point from anything, Carmen looked him over, deciding how she could improve the look. After a few seconds of pondering, she had it. "Hold on," she said as she ran back to the chest, sifting through and finding a shiny tiara. "Ahhh, this is perfect," she said, jogging back to him. She held it out to him, noticing a slight smile on his face. "I think this will make all the difference!" She said, beaming at him.

Chris looked at the hand offered to her and after a few seconds of deliberation, took it. [b]"I'm Chris. Nice to meet you."[/b] She replied, her voice rather gruff. She let out a long sigh and sent the girl, Kathy, a smile. [b]"As long as it isn't too revealing or embarrassing, I guess."[/b] She told the girl, giving her her best charmer smile. For some reason, Chris enjoyed being male. She didn't like the looks people gave her as a female and she didn't enjoy how they looked down on her. Oh, she's a girl. She can't play football, she can't fix cars. She was tired of it. She just wanted to be Chris.

Little Feather shrugged at Alistair looking apologetic for a moment. 'You're guess is as good as mine..." She grinned at him, smiling broadly as he laughed and straightened out his dress. She tilted her head to the side frowning momentarily as she thought over his question. "A warrior for my people" She answered him with a small smile. "Oh...I don't think there's anything I can do about that" She told him, looking at the back of the costume as he tried to readjust it, but seeing no way of doing so she shrugged, her smile grew as he accepted her offer to walk him over to the start line. Lion blew air out of his nose in a huff, giving Alistair a funny look as he held up the pinafore. Little Feather looked as perplexed as him, so cast a glance at Lion who lifted his eyes to the heavens before grumbling at her. [i]Tie it around his waist with the long bits so the bib at the faces forward[/i] he instructed her, she frowned at him but took the pinafore from Alistair and did as Lion said, carefully negotiating her way past his wings as she tied the two long strips of white material behind his back in a double knot. "All done" She grinned at him before he moved off towards the starting line she felt Lion tug at the hem of shirt as she went to follow him. [i]This way cub, no use following him over to the start line...let us find others to stand with whilst we watch[/i] He purred to her sliding his head under her hand. "Good idea" She grinned at him, noticing Alistair had already moved off to speak to someone else she followed Lion into the crowd.

Crash was still rather rattled over the 'girls' (Cyber) actions, he huffed his hair out of his face pulling at the ridiculous ribbon tied under his chin but not enough to disrupt it. He turned to face Ara as he heard him speak instantly flushing with guilt as he listened to what he had to say. "What! N-no I wasn't...you must have heard me say I wasn't-" Crash cut himself off, his cheeks flushing with color why was he saying this?! He was single... [i]You idiot...wait tastes?[/i] He wrinkled his nose at Ara. "My tastes? What are you on about?" Crash sighed, he couldn't decipher whether Ara was just trying to mess with him or not...though he was rather confused about what he meant. 

Brako sighed when he stepped out of the dressing room, blinking when Carmen placed the tiara on his head. [b]"Like that's stay on my head for long."[/b] He mumbled. Still, he sent the girl a warm smile and bowed his head at her. [b]"Thank you very much for your help."[/b] He told her, curtsying mockingly.

Alex was content on Kathy's shoulder, the dress was a bit uncomfortable but bearable. He heard Kathy talking to someone else and opened his eyes to see another male. Just what he needed, another male talking to her. Still, he didn't make a fuss. He just stayed on her shoulder, enjoying the sun and the warmth he found there.

Lily looked over as another female shouted out something about being bored. Wait... Why was she in a dress? Lily walked over with delicate steps and got closer to the... creature? [b]"Uhm... Weren't guys the ones that were supposed to dress up? I mean, if you want to dress up that's fine but..."[/b] She began, her brows raised.

Cyber was so busy mopping about being so bored until a girl with pink hair (Lily) ...like Marluxia in kingdom hearts chain of memories! but of course a girl and wearing a white bikini with a white blouse. "Uhm... Weren't guys the ones that were supposed to dress up? I mean, if you want to dress up that's fine but..." Cyber blinked just wondering why she would ask that but then again...he does look pretty weird dress up like that. "Oh I am just you know i though this was pretty cute dress, it reminded me of a video game character outfit so I wore it..." He sarcastically said to her but not keeping the innocent girl persona but his true personality a rude little bi-polar brat. He looked back at her and sighed. "When will this thingy start!? I am so bored..." 

Seven was looking at the starting line, an array of interesting men dressed up. His tail wagged as he was curious how the even will go. Still waiting for Vanessa for the decision of his clothing he yawned as he scratched his ears with his foot. "Maybe I want to wear something a wee bit loose or a bit you know movable...like a .... hmm a Stripper" He joked as he snickered at what he said well isn't he already considered as a stripper? Most of the time when he is human he was naked...

Kathy gave 'him' another smile as her handshake was returned. "Okay then, how about we pick the outfit together?" Pointing to the chests she continued, "Most of the crazy costumes seem to be taken by now anyway. Maybe we can just find a nice summer dress for you to wear."

Looking around, it seemed that a lot of the guys were already dressed and ready to get the event started. "We should probably hurry if you're going to participate. I'm not sure how much more patient Mercy will be with everyone else already ready to go."

Chris looked over at Kathy and then at the chests. [b]"Maybe..."[/b] She mumbled. She walked over and began to dig through the chest, looking around with a rather blank expression on her face. She pulled out something blue and pulled it out to show Kathy. [b]"What about this?"[/b] In her hands, she held a [url=http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/25682154_000_b]overall dress[/url]. It stopped at her thighs. She pulled out another sweater type thing to go with it. Over all, it was pretty nice. Not too girly but would still satisfy them.

Lily chuckled at a bit at the person. [b]"It is kind of cute. I don't play... video games. So, maybe you could show me sometime."[/b] She replied, trying her best to be friendly. She looked out at the others hearing him/her saying something about the game. [b]"I'm not sure I even want to join in."[/b] She confided. She was less enthusiastic about this than she wanted to admit. She'd tried but she couldn't bring herself to be happy. She was trying so hard...

Cyber yawned getting even more bored just for waiting. "I just wanna see something happen!!" He crossed his arms together and grumbled, boredom still killing him. He looked at her again and sighed bored. "I just...hate...really hate being so bored, I just want to do something!' He shouted out again, he had his 3ds yet he had a rule to play a new game after playing another one from before so he wouldn't get bored with it so easily. "Sorry if I sound like an immature brat, that's how I really am..." He grumbled out as he just notice he was being...an immature brat. 

Again, another chuckle from Lily. For some reason, this person made her laugh. 

[b]"You're fine. I can understand. It is rather boring."[/b] She replied, smiling at him warmly. [b]"I'm Lily, by the way."[/b] She added, turning to face her new friend. Their energy didn't seem bad, just a bit... different. Yeah, different. 

[b]"Sometimes being a brat is nice. I wish I could return to that."[/b] She continued, turning to look at him/her. [b]"That dress looks really nice on you too."[/b] She added on, smiling and laughing a bit. 

He looked at her oddly curious of her composure...lots of people would have left him already if he acted like that but oddly the girl or Lily didn't. "Cyber...my name is Cyber..." He grumbled out again so he wouldn't raise his voice again. "Being a brat isn't of course peaches and cream... I hate it when people tell me I am to young or small to do anything...and yet they I act I always end up being called a brat or maybe just maybe getting slap at the face...grown ups are terrible....." He bit his lips as he fixed the bow on his head. Cyber kind of was surprised of what Lily said about him looking nice in the dress he was wearing. "Um...thanks... I guess... but what do you mean like before?" He looked away trying to think a bit more. Cyber looked back at the unlucky souls having to deal with the whole thingy magig... that bunny suit, wedding dress, frilly thing? and a guy wearing a maids outfit with wings. "...Okay....interesting...uh wait Lily I want to know where that guy got his outfit...I want it" He wanted to know where the guy got his costume, it reminded him of an armor...yes an armor from old school game. He started to walk to the starting line and towards the guy in that maids outfit.

Alistair smiled at the man, hands clasped in front of him, the pinafore still there "Hello, are you participating in this competition? it's an interesting practice, this uniform is definitely unique" he pulled at the dress, he looked at the man and the clothes suddenly registered, he wasn't wearing clothes like the rest of the men here "do you mind my asking if you are a boy or a girl?" he smiled as if this was the most innocent question ever, because of course to him it was, it did not occur to him that his question might be taken wrong, and as so he waited calmly for an answer.

Cyber started back at the man with no idea what to say, in his mind he wanted to say is 'Hey where did you get this outfit I want it!' but as he listened more to what the guy said he smiled deviously...inside. "Oh I am girl, lately I am getting a lot of mistakes here from this event thing, it's quite... interesting actually. Guys dress up like this, quite fun...it shows how one guy can panic and be ashamed about it or even stay cool and confident with its.... quite fun. I like to see a cool and confident man in this event...." He giggled as showed his [s] fake [/s] interest on the guy like what he did before with the red head. "I feel rude my name is Cyber, what about you Onii-chan?" 

Alistair nodded, something about this person didn't seem to fit what he was saying but Alistair also hadn't had much contact with humans so he ignored it "Ah, thank you i was confused," he simply smiled in response to the 'cool and confident man' comment. there was something oddly attractive about the women's giggle, that made him put on his most flirtatious smile "It's very nice to meet you Miss Cyber, I'm Alistair" he took her hand and bent to give it a kiss, it occurred to him that Little Feather might be upset by his interest in this other women, but he just assured himself that he would return his attention to her afterwards, right now he had a women to woo "are you a student? like my new friend Little Feather?" he gestured to the girl as he said it 
"i would like to know more about you, if you'd permit me?"

Cyber smiled even more...in the inside. 'Finally a catch!!' After his attempts on that guy at the beach from way earlier to that guy in the wedding dress...well nothing came good after that at all or wasn't planned to. The red head where he just wanted to mess with the guys head but now...this guy...he finally got a bait. He giggled even more, putting on the innocent girl persona, battering his eyelashes and making sure he sounded very kind and cute. "Nice too meet you Alistair but I prefer to call you my Onii-chan if you don't mind" Cyber even faked a blush as Alistair kissed his hand like a gentleman would do. "Oh yes I am very much a student, little feather...what a weird name...are you hanging out with her after this? Because like what you said Onii-chan..." He walked a bit closer making sure that was definitely his...interest on him. "I would like it if you hang out with me later...so you can get to know me a bit more...or even a lot more..." He suggested and battered his eyelashes in a seductive manner, if he had a catch he would go all in for it to stay. 'One more then...achievement unlocked' He smiled as he was ready for the next step of his strategy for his game of catch. "Maybe a little private time together?" It took him years to master his innocent persona and he was glad to use it.

Vanessa gave the bakeneko a large grin before grabbing him by an ear and dragging the floating boy to a costume bow. She let go and dived into it before re emerging with a grin. "So mister kitty, do you know much history." She threw to him a purple belly dancer outfit. It had a short silky skirt along with purple stockings. A pinkish bra for him to put on and a little purple veil. "I believe it's just your taste.....go on then...try it on."

Alistair was not one to let women woo him, but something about this one intrigued him. there was something about that giggle, Alistair smiled. "Nice too meet you Alistair but I prefer to call you my Onii-chan if you don't mind" she blushed, but it was different from when little feather blushed, he wasn't sure why. "you can call me whatever you like, my dear"
"Oh yes I am very much a student, little feather...what a weird name...are you hanging out with her after this? Because like what you said Onii-chan..." she moved closer to him, he also moved closer to her, she was barely taller then him, but he didn't mind, it just made her more attractive in his eyes "I would like it if you hang out with me later...so you can get to know me a bit more...or even a lot more..." he smiled. "i would enjoy that, very much, Miss Cyber"

Seven looked at the interesting outfit that Vanessa had chosen for him....He had seen these outfits before and was very much a curious kitty. He put on each piece clothing from the short skirt to the sort of bra. After he wore it he wanted to see himself yet there was no mirror so he has just to roll with it. "Okay thanks madam now I am off to the next event" Seven bowed to her then did a backflip and some other flips and twist to reach the starting line with a final front flip to reach the starting line like saying lets get this show on the road! He didn't mind wearing the belly dancer outfit, it was quite loose but very movable, a sort of perfect combo for him. One thing though...the short skirt, due to his tail it lightly lifts up the back part of his skirt causing a very small peek of his butt.

Cyber smiled innocently at him... but mischievously in the inside. "Oh that sounds great Onii-chan! how about after this beach thing maybe we can go for a walk or dinner?" He gave another smile and a sweet giggle. "Well then Onii chan, I will be cheering for you, good luck!" with that said he kissed the cheek of Alistair and then skipped off. But Cyber looked back at Alistair just slightly and gave a flirty wink then walked back to Lily. "Okay sorry I am back..." He said dully but inside he was excited for part one of his game of catch to succeed. 

"Looks good!" Giving Chris a thumbs-up, Kathy led the way towards one of the changing tents. After asking and checking that the tent was indeed empty, she held it open for Chris to usher 'him' inside. "Just let me know if you need help with any of the clothes. We should really hurry along now though, it seems like almost all the guys are at the starting line now."

Kathy peeked over to the starting line again as she waited for Chris to get changed. Perhaps she had overdone it a little with Crash's costume after all, even though she still found it quite hilarious. [i]'Good luck.'[/i] She thought, not quite feeling up to cheering loudly for such a comedic event.

With Chris fully changed, Kathy led 'him' over to the race's starting line. Giving 'him' a reassuring pat on the back she smiled, "Good luck. Go and have some fun out there." Then she retreated a little away from the course, but at an area where there still seemed to be a good view of the whole event.

Mine! Alistair could see something hidden behind her innocent smile. He wasn't sure what it was so he ignored it. "whatever would make you happiest, Miss Cyber." he looked towards the starting line "the contest should be starting soon, i should get to the line" he felt odd when she said she'd be cheering him on and the peck on his cheek made him go a little red, and then she left, walking over to another girl. He smiled and walked to the line, he noticed that Little Feather and Lion had gone. There were other men at the line, he stood awaiting the start of the contest.

Andromeda liked the sailor outfit idea so she she searched 3 chests till she found one. finally she pulled out a bright pink sailor uniform "Will this work, Ryuu?" she laughed and held it up in front of him, "wow, it might actually fit" she smiled "here, try it on" she handed it to him.

Ryuu blinked.

He wondered if he should smile at how magnificently pink the sailor uniform was. Just when he said that a pink-colored uniform was not in his preferences, Andromeda, the surprisingly pure-hearted girl, suddenly flipped out a hot-pink uniform. The otaku wondered if there was a god that was born to torture him for an eternity.

Still... he needed to wear something. Time was running out. And he definitely did not want to see Maria come back with something more terrifying than what Andromeda picked out. Actually, Ryuu always wanted to try out a sailor uniform.

A sailor uniform that belonged to a man. Not a Sailor Moon uniform.

...There was still that guilty pleasure that allowed him to wear the stupid thing.

Giving Andromeda a somewhat flushed pout, the sunglasses-wearing otaku softly snatched away the uniform, mumbling as his mind began to spin around,

"I'll go... wear this... seifuku. Yeah. This seifuku."

The student vanished into a nearby restroom. It actually took him a lot longer than expected, seeing how there were men staring at him as if he were the sexiest guy in the whole world, but then again, some of them were doing the same thing he was. After taking several good minutes of wearing the uniform, he walked out of the restroom, heading straight to where Andromeda had been.

He felt like good ol' "Sailor Mini." He even had a lightsaber by his hip-

[i]Wait... actually, none of the [b]Sailors[/b] ever had a lightsaber, right...?[/i]

Needless to say, now that he actually wore it, it felt as if he were wearing some sort of freakish Irish clothes. Except the Irish certainly knew how to dress up better than him. Quickly forgetting that he was cross-dressing, Ryuu stretched his arms to his sides as he exclaimed to Andromeda,

"You know, it scares me how this freaking thing actually [b][u]fits[/u][/b] me!"

Still, he could not help but not get angry at the woman. He could not bring himself to get that angry at women in general... except for his sister, who literally acted like a feminine man.

Mine. Andromeda smiled when he pouted and took it. she waited patiently while he got changed. finally he came out. she held back a laugh, "not bad Ryuu" she smiled, then she straightened it out "not bad at all" she noticed he had a lightsaber at his hip "i think the light saber fits" she looked over at the starting line "you should probably head over there," she looked back with a smile "don't worry, i'll cheer you on again!"

Of course the old man wasn't [i]really[/i] appreciative of Carmen's efforts, but she would take what she could get. He seemed to be loosening up ever so slightly. As soon as the exchange was finished, Carmen had her eye on the starting line. "Looks like people are starting to congregate at the starting line...we don't want you to miss your big race! C'mon!" she said to him as she led him back outside and to the starting area. Certainly, the spectacle of someone as old and important as her newest victim would be a sight, but compared to the outfits some of the other victims were wearing, his princess outfit was pretty tame. Carmen's finest handiwork still rested with the lovely bride, Ara.

Ryuu grinned cheekily.

He seemed to wake up shortly after his awkward smile, for he suddenly smashed his face in determination. After assuring that he was in top condition- after all, he was someone who refused to go down even after getting smashed by some demon monster (he took pride in that)- the otaku glared at the starting line, his eyes on fire. He looked as if there was a whole stash of lunch money sitting on the line.

The creepily dangerous smile vanished for a short while. Ryuu simply pumped a fist at what Andromeda's contribution into cheering him with a complex smile. He'd definitely win. Somehow. Or some way. He honestly did not know how he'd win during a race that involved him wearing a pink seifuku that mysteriously matched his body, but he would put his all into at least [b]not[/b] look like an absolute loser.

Feeling a little encouraged by Andromeda's presence, the otaku moved over to the starting line. Right at the moment, he looked like a disturbed "Sailor Girl" full of bloodlust. Not that he actually cared about his looks at this point, though. His excited, glowing eyes made him look eviller, if that was even possible.

Brako grumbled as he was pushed along by the girl that had dressed him. He rolled his eyes and took in a deep breath. The things he did for people.

Mercy chuckled as Darwin trotted off to the start line, she turned to Anedine. “Right well I best go and get this started” She smiled at Anedine, saluting at her before she moved off returning to her lifeguard seat. From there she could see most of the unfortunate contestants and their rather interesting attire, a smirk lifted her lip as she lifted her hand to catch Koop’s attention. The small moogle flew to her and landed on the arm of her chair, fiddling with the strap of his messenger bag. “Everything in place?” She asked him, her expression serious for a moment. “Yes, placed perfectly...right to the dotted T, kupo-po” Koop responded keeping his voice monotone and deadly serious even his ‘kupo-po’ was said seriously. Mercy turned slightly to frown at him. “Koop...T’s aren’t dotted” She pointed out to the moogle, rolling her eyes as he adopted a very confused face. She stood up on her chair dropping the previous charade, she quickly scanned the crowd seeing that mostly everyone was there she decided they had all waited long enough. “OK! Times up, lets get this event going while we’re still young” She grinned, trying not to look at Brako. “Aww look at them all lined up there, I have to say some very interesting costumes we’ve got down there...definitely something to be cherished” Mercy spoke loud enough that everyone could hear her, whilst she was speaking however a blinding flash erupted from in front of the starting line, to those who adjusted quickly they saw Koop holding a camera he quickly retreated before he could get zapped. “The rules are the same as the last event” Mercy stated though in her excitement failed to repeat them. “Your objective is simple you need to traverse the obstacle course in front of you, first its under the net then its up the slippery wall, over the rickety bridge and on to the item hunt at the other side. Here’s the tricky part, you must pick up ONE piece of paper from the table, then you have to retrieve whatever it says on it and take it over the finish line with you, you have to make sure you still have the piece of paper with you as well once you finish” Mercy announced. “Now ladies, whilst the guys are running this race we’re going to have a bit of spare time on her hands...so you can either watch and cheer or perhaps” Mercy started with a grin. “You would prefer to be more of a hindrance? There are buckets of paint filled balloon bombs at the slippery slope and foam blasters at the rickety bridge which you are more than welcome to use against our contestants” She finished explaining. “No quitting now guys! “ She told them. “You start in 3...2...1...GO!” Koop pressed the top of a fog horn he had gripped between his paws right behind the guys. And just because he could once the contestants had crossed the start line he pressed play on the music player sat beside him, the tune that blurted out was none other than ‘Shania Twain- Man I feel like a Woman’ 

Finally, Mercy made the announcement to begin the race, and with it came some information that made Carmen very intrigued. "Paint-filled balloon bombs, huh? I'm all over that," she said as she began to run alongside the course. Claiming a handful of balloon bombs, she prepared to give the guys an unprecedented onslaught of paint...and balloons. Or something. Standing next to the top of the slippery slope, she was at a perfect vantage point to severely hinder their progress...or, with luck and brute force, send them falling back down the slippery slope. "This is going to be fun," she said, her huge sun hat providing a distinctive landmark for the guys to [s]strive towards[/s] dread getting closer to.

Ara blinked a bit, momentarily blinded by the camera flash. Then realizing what the light was, he couldn't help but let out a slight groan. Something told him that B would want a copy of that. And hearing the part about the paint filled balloons, he couldn't help but laugh. All that colour was going to show up nicely on the white wedding dress. Unfortunately for Carmen, it was now very obvious that there would be no way to keep the dress preserved in pristine condition.

Taking advantage of the slight confusion people had with the camera flashing, he swung a foot sideways at Crash's shin before sprinting forward. Gathering up the hem of the white dress, he ran to the net and began to crawl under it. "Stupid wedding dress..." Ara grumbled has he tried to continue on under the net using a military crawl. Unfortunately, as he had thought, the dress was snagging everywhere and making it ridiculously difficult to move even just a few inches forward.

Kathy's ears perked up at Mercy's words, realizing she could do more than just sit around and watch the guys race from the sidelines. "Hmm." With a thoughtful sound, she wondered just who she wanted to really pelt down with paint-filled balloons. A smile on her face, she walked over towards the slippery slope to prepare for the guys' arrival.

Crash looked up at Mercy as she began to speak, completely caught unawares by the flash from the camera he blinked a few times to adjust , he grimaced a bit at the idea of being pummeled with paint he still had white specks in front of his eyes as he readied himself to start, he wasn't prepared for Ara's sneaky kick as he attempted to spring forward and it connected with his shin painfully causing him to stumble forward hissing and cursing profanities...for example. "Ah you Donkey Konging, barrel fisher" He grumbled, kicking up sand as he shot after Ara, skidding onto his belly as he threw the net over his head cursing some more as his ears got stuck as he army crawled along having to stop every so often to heave sand out of his sock cleavage before scrabbling further. [i]How do they cope with these things?[/i] He wondered, his eyes focused on the ridiculous white skirts not too far ahead of him. 

After announcing the start Mercy sprung from her chair practically sprinting towards the paint bombs, picking up one and preparing herself. "It be about time karma paid a visit" She murmured, not to anyone in particular as she waited for the guys to wheedle their way out of the net. 

Darwin was too busy fiddling with his iPod to realise the race had started. He knew that the best way to run was with badass amazing music playing. He chuckled as he shoved the headphones into his ears and began running off waving his arms around. Then he remembered that there was rules he had to follow. He began trying to remember the rules, but it was so god damn hard to. He just flailed his arms and ran after Alistair, he looked like he had an idea what to do. Somehow he was pretty agile in his fancy burlesque dress. He dived into the net where he saw Alistair and he chuckled like a madman. He went to grab the boys ankle since there was nothing in the rules that said he couldn't 'hinder' Al. "Hey Al!" He shouted dragging himself forward before one of his shoes got caught in the net. He freed himself and escaped the net and shook off all the sand out of his fabulous purple hair. He set his sights on the big slippery slope and grinned. He jumped and got a good hold on it before slipping and losing a shoe. He reached the top and made a triumphant shout before slipping and falling down the other side.

Alistair was standing there for probably 20 seconds before he realized the loud sound had meant he was supposed to go. so he started walking forward, the others were running so he sped up. But then he found the net and wasn't entirely sure what to do. he saw the others going under so he did being careful not to catch his wings, which were more fragile then you think. unfortunately he still got caught and had to stop and release his wing from it's grasp, at which point the others were ahead of him. his dress was actually really easy to move in. he felt something grab his ankle, he looked back and saw someone who looked oddly familiar and called him 'Al' he pulled his ankle out of his grip, slightly confused and kept going. he barely managed to pull himself out on the other end, relatively unscathed.
