Return the Rose [Female Pageant Participants]

[Jay]

Felis was all but giddy now. One pageant had been finished, so it was on to the second~Standing upwards, the blond haired man reached a moment before taking hold of the microphone at his judge's table and calling out again. A female announcer that had taken place of the male announcer for the male pageant looked rather sadly at Felis for a few seconds when she realized that he was about to give the opening speech of the pageant. However, after a moment, both exchanged a light look, and the woman was calm and smiling again.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Felis called out with a light voice as he addressed the crowd again. "It's time for today's second pageant! The Female pageant~!" He grinned towards those that were in the crowd that gently started to applaud again as they had at the first of the preceding showing. After a few more seconds, Felis sat down again and waited for the pageant to begin.

The female announcer, much like her male counterpart who had started the male pageant, looked down at the list of names and the short bios that had been given to her previously. Breathing inwards and smiling, she stated a general hello to the crowd and then started to read off the first name and bio.

The red haired man behind the stage curtain was mentally sweat dropping. What had started as simply coming to watch had become... Well... he wasn't even sure how to describe this... After a few seconds, a voice rang out over the intercom. "Coming from the south, Nathan doesn't wish to disclose much about himself, but he does have quite a lovely pokemon," the woman smiled a little mentally sweat dropping at the fact that she didn't have much to read off on this card. Upon hearing the intro, Nathan finally stepped out from the curtain.

A bright bright white dress slowly came out from the curtains as Nathan stepped forwards, and as he stepped forwards, Nathan's full form finally came into view. He wore something that could only be adequately described as a white tea-cup ball gown that constricted quickly as it met the chest air and seemed to stop just high enough to hide what would have been a bust on the sex that it was originally designed for. A long green sash rested on all but thin shoulders, and long green sleeves ran themselves up to the elbow. Nathan's hair was tied back with a green tie that was put elegantly into a bow of sorts. However, the hair that often rested itself between Nathan's eyes had remained where it was. Nathan's face was now a tad paler than before and appeared almost white to resemble a Gardevoir's pale skin, yet there was no sort of lipstick or anything of the like on Nathan. He had refused to go that far at the last minute, though it did seem to fit his face well enough in the end of it all.

Nathan breathed inwards and then slowly started forwards up the stage. Following rather elegantly behind Nathan, Amina seemed to be smiling rather pleasantly. Her thin, elegant form, seemed to compliment Nathan's choice of wear rather well, though Nathan was much more full in form for obvious reasons. What no one knew was in the back of her mind, Amina was raging quite hard at the idea of her Nathan cross dressing and had been more than ready to explode and psychic everyone into next week for such an odd pageant. However, for now, she would hold back.

They walked single file for a few steps. However, as the main pathway that stretched out to the crowd and things came into rage, Nathan stepped forwards and turned and was now walking directly beside Amina who folllowed this motion to a T. The steady click of heels that finally could be heard explained then and there that under the dress, there was in fact heels though they remained hidden by the dress. After coming to the end of the walk way, both Nathan and Amina bowed in unison before walking back rather slowly but extremely controlled and then turend again walking off the stage then and there. Thank God that was over.... Amina's thoughts were directed solely at Nathan, yet the red haired man said nothing in reply but was already headed to the back to wait for the rest of the pageant to end.

[Alright, this is for male contestants only. If you haven't signed in at the front desk, do so before you enter here. Feel free to control the announcer who is reading off a short bio of sorts as you give your presentation for each character. Have fun]

[Caden Bunny]

The moments ticked by as the person who was to come out next seemed to be taking their time. As the time ticked by, the word was finally given to the Announcer that the first person was now coming. The Announcer paused for a moment, then got ready to talk. "Now entering.. Cody Webster! He's only 16 yet he dreams of being a Super Hero. He enjoys helping others, spending time with his pokemon, and playing Baseball!" the Announcer calls out.

Cody stepped out from behind the curtain and stood there. He gulped as he looked at those who stared at him. His hair hung down, much straighter than normal. He parted it on the right and gave himself a short girl hair style. It seemed that he had worked with it a lot to straighten it and push it to the side. He had makeup on his face to make it much softer looking than before. He decided against lip stick himself because it seemed a bit too girly for him.

He was wearing a gray dress with white marks going down to repressent a Cinccino's scarves going down their body. He had a big, white, puffy scarf that flowed down his form as he stood there.. A few smaller white scarves were thrown in with it to resemble all of the scarves a Cinccino would have. They swayed a little bit as he stood there before he did a little spin and showed off his scarves forming a heart in the back. He smiled when he was done with his spin. He didn't move too much, since he was nervous. Seiji was standing next to him and had done the spin like he did. Seiji had a little cape, but the heart was put over top of it. This caused the cape to still be there, yet not cover up his scarves.

Cody took a step forward, took a little bow with Seiji, and stepped back. He mumbled a thanks and started to walk off. That then showed that he.. was in... oh gosh! He was in low gray heels. He walked away and was now in the back, glad that it was finally over. He felt like he might have done decent.. though he wished he had walked more like Nathan seemed to have done. Hopefully this was enough to win something.

[Jay]

BJ Spade stood rather calmly as he watched Cody go through it after Nathan. However, in the back of his mind, several voices were on a panicked binge of sorts. Oh God.. Oh God... the judge and the stage and the crowd and and and.... some new rather obnoxious voice was hyperventilating to the point that it was all BJ could hear even as Ripper's voice tried to make it through. However, BJ himself was far from nervous now. Upon finding out that Felis was the judge, the purple haired man had come to reason (from Third's help as well) that he probably still wouldn't be recognized now dressed as he was. That, and the fact that he had registered under a different name just in case, made BJ cool and relaxed. As Cody finished, Jack smirked and waited a moment.

"Here we go Pearl," BJ smirked to himself before fishing in his pocket. As the announcer began to read off a statement on 'Jack Simon', the purple haired man threw out what appeared to be five black circular balls out onto the stage. As they hit the floor, the balls exploded into dark purple smoke, and somewhere in the mix of that, the announcer was cut off. The smoke engulfed everything for a few seconds, and a few worried sounds escaped the crowd. Hoover, as it cleared, a single form could be seen. A Mismagius hovered there center stage right before one walked up the ramp of sorts, and as the smoke cleared one could see legs appearing behind said Mismagius. However, before a second more passed, two forms separated from, the Mismagius took to the left while a being clad in a long silky purple gown and a matching 'witch' hat took to the right.

After half a second, Jack turned and faced the crowd fully. The dark gown that held his form rather tightly formed somewhat of an hour glass figure somehow, yet the bottom didn't expand like a tea-cup dress and instead clung to his legs making his frame still rather lean in appearance. At the very end of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress, the color shifted slightly and appeared pink before it cut off smoothly. The dress itself shimmered with a silky glow as sequins here and there reflected off light. Right at the chest area, a long large pink and purple beeded necklace hung in front reflecting the gems that were on the Mismagius's form.

Upon his face, Jack had set deep purple eye-liner and a bit of mascara here and there. A bit of base was placed, yet there was no sort of blush or anything major on his features. Thankfully, it looked for the better rather than for the worse and gave Jack an overall simple and clean look so to speak. As though not to box in his face but to add to the flow of his features, Jack's hair had been brushed to the side a bit, and the longer strands that extended in front had been set to the side a bit. On his ears, gold clip on earrings in the shape of squares seemed to hold rather well and didn't distract the eye but added to the general smoothness of everything else.

For a brief moment, Jack simply stood there, yet after that, he stepped forwards onto the 'runway' of some sort and moved his form rather easily. Pearl, this Mismagius, followed suit with him and twirled her form rather easily. At the end of the stage, they stopped and turned back before walking confidently back up the stage and then turning to get off once more.

[Caden Bunny]

Zen watched Jack get off of the stage and took a deep breath. He was not ready for this. Jack had to of cheated with that smoke.. right? Oh well~ He had a lot of trouble figuring out what he wanted to wear when he went on.. and decided with one of the manliest pokemon ever. The announcer got ready as well as Zen.

"Zen Gean! He's 16 and firmly believes in Karma. He enjoys... uh.. training.. with ninjas.." the Announcer says slowly. He seemed to stumble as he thought it was the wrong card. Right after that, he emerged from the curtain.

He took a step out, and suddenly a Hitmonchan jumped over his head and landed in front, fists ready. He hopped to the side once Zen had reached the middle and allowed Zen to be seen.

He was wearing a purple skirt that went down to his knees. He was blushing a bit as he stood there. A purple shirt hung down to it. It was the same color as Hitmonchan's. It was fringed as his pokemon's was. There was a black belt that came around his waist that had sparkles on it. He has pink gloves that came all the way up to his elbows. The fingertips were all cut off, and his painted fingernails could be seen. They were red, to match the boxing gloves.

He took a few steps forward while Hitmonchan bounced around in a boxer fashion beside him. He was moving pretty quickly and looked pumped, as if he were walking to go in a fight. Zen walked with him and smiled. His hair was parted to one side and pulled into a ponytail in the back. It was longer than before, and it hung down to his neck, if not a bit further. He had purple heels, though they were low. He walked somewhat easily though. They were the same purples as the rest of his shoes.

He had little red earrings that appeared to only be balls. These must have also counted as the boxing gloves. He walked until the end and turned back around. He kept walking and got towards the end. He spun around with his hands in fists and did a little bow. His Hitmonchan was throwing a few fake punches around as he stood there. They then started to walk away, and went into the curtains. He disappeared and sat down. He probably didn't do as well as others. That Jack guy was pretty good. Did he always dress as a girl?


_____________________________________________________________




The next person was ready to go almost immediately. "Our next contestant is Caden Days! At only 14, he enjoys cute pokemon and dreams of becoming a pokeartist when he grows up!" the Announcer calls out. Caden, as if on cue, came walking out with a pokemon he was holding.

His hair was curling inwards instead of out and gave him a girlier look. His lips also didn't have lipstick, yet he had used makeup on his face to smooth it out a bit and make him look a bit more girly. He was wearing a white shirt with tiny ruffles around the next and on the end of the short sleeves that stopped before his elbows. On top of this was a brown dress of sorts. It had bigger straps that came up behind him and tied in a perfect bow. The dress was more of a skirt, as it came down to a bit below his knees, yet still showed off quite a lot of his legs. He had on low heels that he somehow walked in pretty well. He didn't stumble on his steps and simply kept walking. He had earrings that must have been fake that could be seen through his hair in the shape of moons.

He had a brown cap that almost resembled a sailor's cap, yet it wasn't. It had the shape of a yellow moon also on it and Caden showed it off proudly as he walked. He was holding Ashton in his arms at first, but he knew he had to show off his clothes, so he set the little Teddiursa down and held his hand instead. They did a little spin to show off the laces in the back, then Caden did his bow. After he had bowed, he started to walk through the curtain and into the back to wait. He felt like he might have shown off their cuteness enough, and was now feeding Ashton from his bottle.

Miguel watched as the previous entrant walked off the stage and found himself second guessing doing this whole pageant thing to begin with…why had he allowed Rosa to talk him into this…? Looking over at Porthos, Miguel nodded and began to walk towards the stage, feeling his face heat up once again as he looked at the rather cute appearance of the man who was now feeding his Teddiursa. When Felis had told him what the plans were for the pageant, Miguel had outright refused to participate but then Rosa………Rosa had wanted him to join because it’d be fun and well, perhaps it might be…but as of right now the only thing Miguel felt was embarrassment for having to order the custom made dress. He could still see the face of the tailor when he…no, no sense in worrying about that right now...shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Miguel took a deep breath and waited to hear the announcer introduce him.

“Our next contestant is Miguel Castillo, knight under the festival patron, Feliciano. He enjoys caring for Pokemon and practicing swordsmanship.”

Taking a deep breath, Miguel stepped out onto the stage, Porthos walking calmly beside him. The shiny Ponyta’s white and blue flames flickered gently, setting off the light blue dress that Miguel was wearing. The dress he was wearing had a long billowing skirt that almost reached the floor, revealing the blue, almost glass looking slippers that shimmered in the light, appearing for all the world as if they were flames just like those on Porthos’ mane. The dress rippled in the light, seeming to change from blue to white to and even lighter blue just as Porthos’ flames flickered next to him when in all actuality the dress started from a light, almost white blue that and darkened ever so slightly until it ended with the darkest shade of blue at the bottom of the skirt. The effect was made to give the appearance of flames and with Porthos’ flames flickering next to him, it was obvious that it had succeeded. The shoulders of the dress were shaped in such a way that Miguel’s broad shoulders were effectively hidden and the long tapered sleeves of the dress seemed to add to this effect.

Miguel had decided to forego the make-up, but even with this, his face was still rather flushed, evidence that he was embarrassed but instead of making him look embarrassed, the soft red color in his cheeks looked as if he had purposely put blush on. His long hair was partially pulled back with three light blue sapphire berets holding it in place while a rather small tiara graced his head, held in place by the way the hair was pulled back. The rest of his hair that wasn’t tied back was curled in a rather elegant fashion although there were a few small curled tendrils of hair that framed his face.

As they reached the end of the stage, Porthos bowed to the judges while Miguel curtsied in unison before standing up and walking back towards the curtain. As soon as Miguel and Porthos exited the stage, Miguel breathed a sigh of relief before steadying himself against a wall, suddenly feeling dizzy as the blood drained from his face. Taking a deep breath, he willed himself to calm down…it was over, after today he could be rid of this dress and never speak of this day again.

<sup>Xavier sighed, adjusting the clasp on the back of his neck once more as he listened to be called onto the stage. Oh, the things he did for Pen. Sure he may come from a poor family, but never in a million years did the man expect to be dressing up like a woman to obtain it. He stared at himself in a nearby mirror, hearing his conscious laugh at him, but he chose to ignore it, instead reflecting back on what his father would say, 'No pain, no gain'. Wearing this get-up wasn't painful physically (although the heels were troublesome), but mentally scarring.

"We now have Xavier Stone entering, a young man at the age of twenty, hes rather nomadic and earns his Pen through fishing. A truly relaxed lifestyle!" The announcer chimed, causing Xavier to sigh and stand, gesturing for his shiny Ekans, Lady. The snake looked up at him with a look of 'finally' in her eyes, falling in slither beside the man. Before they embarked onto the stage, Lady opened her maw and let a haze loose from her mouth, the puffy black smoke rolling across the stage floor. Xavier smiled down at Lady before they went forth, heads held high.

Xavier had decided against anything too regal, thinking it was rather cliche' and far too Noble-esque for his liking. The dress he had on was a light shade of green to match Lady's unique coloration. It was a long, slim, silk tiered dress that fit snugly to the man's thin frame. The dress was sleeveless, the straps coming together in a bow tied at the back of Xavier's neck. The portion of the dress from Xav's chest to his mid-section were smooth, and a golden sash wrapped around his waist just above where the tiers began. The tiers continued for the rest of the dress's length until its hem, which hovered less than an inch from the floor. The back of the dress was open, exposing the man's entire back until his waist.

Xav also wore a few accessories to continue his shiny Ekans visage, including a golden necklace that had a few layers to it, making it look like the band around Lady's neck. Three gold loop bracelets hung around each of Xavier's wrists. Xav's heels were also gold in color and were open toe and open heel, with straps that wrapped up around his ankles. As for makeup, Xavier did dabble with it, using a slight touch of blush, and golden mascara to give him a dangerous kind of appearance; a rather flirtatious one.

Then there came his hair. Xavier always had long hair and never really did much to style it, other than his usual braid and ponytail. But for this event, he knew he had to style it into a more feminine look, and had spent many hours combing it into different looks. He had no idea how much of a chore it was! He had finally settled on parting his hair unevenly, so that it was located more on the right side of his head, causing his bangs to swoop towards the left and partially cover his left eye, emphasizing his flirty appearance. Xavier had then taken a curling iron to his locks, giving his strands a wavy touch. He let these strands fall amongst his shoulders and back, giving his hair extra volume. It had been washed about three times prior to this treatment, and as such it had a small shine under the lights. A small golden bow was pinned to Xav's bangs, in order to match the golden bow that was wrapped around Lady's neck.

Lady herself had shed her skin, and then received a thorough wash/rub down by Xavier, causing her shiny pelt to positively glitter under the lights. As mentioned, she had a golden bow wrapped around her neck, the bow located on the back of her neck. The serpent Poke'mon slithered alongside Xavier with her head held high like a true lady.

The pair slowly ambled through the smoky haze rolling across the floor, pausing in front of the audience to perform a slow circle, showing off their outfits. Xavier then quirked a smile to the audience and offered them a wink, Lady doing the same, before they made their way to the judges. Xavier and Lady repeated the process to them, and then both curtsied politely before making their way off the stage, their haze following them. Once off, Xavier sighed and slumped, having been keen on keeping a good posture that entire time. "Thank goodness..." he mumbled before finding his way to a seat.</sup>

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/codytablemid.jpg] [scrolly:h(87),w(349),sy] Cody suddenly shot up when he heard that he had won. ._. What? He figured that he could become a mention, not win. He actually won a pageant! WAIT A MINUTE! That meant he was the most convincing girl! T_T He suddenly wasn't so happy that he won, and found himself slowly going to claim his prize while Seiji followed behind. He got to the desk and was given his prize of $4,000, 10 tokens, and he decided that he wanted the Eevee. Hopefully the eevee was nice

[DJ Boomkitty]

Xavier couldn't tell if he was flattered or embarrassed that he received a prize for dressing like a woman. He shook his head at Felis with a bemused expression on his face, claiming his cash and tokens, pausing for a moment to consider the Poke'mon. "A Chikorita would be nice." He stated with a smile.

[/size]

Felis simply smiled back. "We have three here~ Pick the one you like," he stated gesturing to them.

Xavier looked them over, then paused to consider. "I'll snag the lovely lady." He decided.

[/size]

[Jay]

Felis grinned and nodded before handing over the Chikorita. That left the Petilil to the Mr. Jack Simon. After a moment, he turned and smiled. Jack was a tad hesitant over actually claiming his prize, yet when he finally got up there and made the choice between the last two Petili, he found himself walking back rather smug.
