Give A Rose [Male Pageant Participants]

[Jay]

Felis squealed lightly getting ready for the first pageant of the day: the male pageant. All the contestants had had time to get ready, and now he was sitting as the judge behind a desk near the front of the stage. There were quite a few people in the rows of chairs behind him sitting down and getting ready to watch the interesting procession of sorts.

The blond haired man looked down at his list of people that had been ordered to go, and as he took up a microphone, he stood up and addressed the crowd deciding to be both the beginning announcer of sorts and the judge. "Ladies and gentlemen! I bring to you the male pageant! We'll see our lovely ladies dressed up as even lovelier males~! Please give them all a round of applause~!" With that, the clapping began.

In another few seconds, the actual announcer came forwards and seemed to also have a list as well that he was about to read off of. He had already assigned who was going when and had alerted all the female contestants to give him a short entrance explanation that he would ready off. Currently, he had these in his hands.

Felis sat down in the judge's chair once more and waited for it to begin with a cool smile on his face.

[Alright, this is the male pageant, so it means that all of these are females. If you haven't signed in at the front desk thread yet, do not post in here until you have. The first one to post gets to go first, and feel free to control the actual announcer (not Felis) who will read off a short bio of sorts about your character (ex: she likes flowers is an artist ect ect ect) as you give your presentation. Have fun with this~]

Sofia bounced up and down on her heels, anxious for the pageant to start. She couldn’t believe she had been chosen to be first and was so excited that Sofia felt like squealing in anticipation. When was the announcer going to say her name already…this was taking too looooong…

Finally, after what seemed like ages to the excited young girl, Sofia heard the announcer say her name and almost squealed with excitement. The pageant was starting~ ohhh she hoped Sebby would be there but then Felis was just as funny but oh well~.

“Ladies and gentlemen, our first contestant, Sofia Brooke! She’s twelve years old, loves cute Pokemon, and enjoys exploring Era with her best friend.”

As the announcer introduced her, Sofia walked on stage and spun around, her coat-tails spinning in a fantastic display just as she released her Ralts, Mindy. The flash of light illuminated Sofia for a moment, making her blonde hair sparkle as if the sunlight was shining down on it when the light changed into stars that floated slowly down around Sofia and the young Ralts. The stars set off Sofia’s outfit rather nicely, in fact between the stars and the prince-like outfit, the young girl looked as if she had just stepped out of a fairy tale. The jacket was an emerald green color with slightly lighter green leaves embroidered in it, red lacing and buttons. The lacing on the sleeves almost covered Sofia’s entire hand but upon closer examination and had vines with berries that wrapped around and around, ending with a bunch of grapes at the ends for tips. The jacket itself seemed to sparkle, but then it might have been from the stars that had escaped the pokeball, the red buttons on the jacket had red vine lacing that stretched across Sofia’s chest to the matching button on the other side. Underneath the jacket was a brilliant white shirt that had white ruffle racing that rested on Sofia’s neckline and stopped just above the first button on the jacket. The pants stopped mid-calf and matched the jacket’s emerald green coloring while white stockings covered the remainder of her legs. Sofia’s boot-like shoes shone a brilliant ruby red and appeared as if they were polished so well that Sofia’s reflection could be seen in them.

The young girl stood at attention, looking rather composed (for once) and bowed in synchronization with Mindy to the audience, her now straightened hair falling over her right shoulder in a ponytail as she did so. Straightening back up, she brushed back her hair and smiled slightly, nodding at the judges while Mindy waved at them with a regal air. For all appearances Sofia was rather composed when in all reality she was bursting at the seams trying not to squeal from her excitement. Perhaps the only thing that gave this away was the fact that her eyes seemed to dance with delight but then again she only had to remain there a little longer. Turning around, Sofia walked back with Mindy with the same calm appearance, walking in perfect synchronization with the Ralts until they were once again hidden behind the curtain. Once behind the curtain and out of earshot, Sofia squealed and picked up Mindy, twirling around in a circle while the Ralts smiled and laughed, obviously enjoying the attention she was receiving. After a few moments of this, Sofia finally calmed down and leaned against a wall, giggling softly; they had done it after all...now all they had to do was wait.

Rosa found herself a tad scared. She fidgeted a little with her hands before breathing in and out. She could do this! Ya! "Next up is our young prince of the festival, Rosa! The younger sister of our festival patron, Feliciano, Rosa is ten years old and has many dreams!" Breathing in, Rosa quickly released Dash who suddenly ran ahead of her doing cartwheels as he went. Rosa jumped a little but followed quickly behind her Treecko. They both jumped perfectly in the spotlight.

As soon as the light reflected off of Rosa's clothes, she came into full focus. She wore a light green sleeved jacket covering a light reddish vest that resembled Dash's colors rather well. Light green pants also held her form rather well. They were simplistic in form but worked well enough to conceal even her young female form. The bulk of her hair had been tied back up and hidden inside of a green baseball cap that was twisted back so that the rim was at the back. Small bits of her hair stuck up from the hole in the cap and all but made a rather interesting Z line in front of her forehead.The fact that she had light green eyes to begin with seemed to compliment the clothes even better than without.

Dash spun a bit and then stopped before reaching up a hand. Rosa took said hand and then walked down the aisle way before coming to the end and turning before both of them ran back rather quickly. Turning sharply then, they both bowed and started off the stage. There now, that hadn't been so bad!

Vengeance leaned against the wall and watched as the young blond haired girl exited the stage and sighed before waiting for the announcer to introduce her, wanting to get this over and done with.

“Our next contestant is….Vengeance, she likes ghost and dark type Pokemon and boasts a rather large collection of them already.”

Vengeance sighed and straightened her jacket one last time before walking out on the stage carrying a black tray with blue handles that had nothing on it except a solitary Pokeball. Suddenly, the Pokeball burst open and a cloud of eerie black and blue smoke erupted out of the pokeball, hiding both Vengeance and the mysterious Pokemon from view. Two red eyes appeared in the smoke, staring out at the audience with a mysterious calm along with one jade eye. The two red eyes moved through the smoke until they were directly under the jade eye, making for a rather frightening scene until the smoke finally cleared revealing the Shiny Zorua Xanatos sitting on the tray with the same emotionless expression as his trainer. The smoke seemed to settle around Vengeance’s feet, accentuating her outfit which could now be seen clearly. The large blue overcoat she was wearing was so long it very nearly touched the ground while underneath was a black butler jacket with four brown buttons on each sleeve and 4 sets of buttons going down the entire length of the jacket. Underneath this was a brown vest with a black tie. Underneath both the jacket and vest was a black long-sleeve dress shirt that had two small brown buttons on the end of each sleeve. Vengeance’s pants were black as well along with her shoes which were so well polished that her reflection could be seen in them. Nodding at the judges, Vengeance placed one hand over her chest, and then bowed in perfect synchronization with Xan to the judges and then straightened, brushing aside her silver hair that had fallen over her shoulder with her black gloved hand as she did so.

Turning on her heels in one smooth motion, Vengeance turned and walked off the stage without a word. Well…at least that was done now, now all that she had to do was wait for the other contestants to finish. Returning the tray to the props area, Vengeance pocketed Xanatos’ pokeball and carried the Zorua back to the corner she had been waiting at before leaning against the wall, resolving to wait there until this was done.

She felt absolutely ridiculous and her chest was absolutely killing her, but she kept trying to remind herself that it was free Pokemon and money if she even placed. When she heard the name of the contestant before her, she almost fell out. How the-... She was here?? ....Oi vey. With any luck, Ven either wouldn't see her or her costume would be good enough she wouldn't be recognized.. "Our next contestant is sixteen years old and describes herself as an avid Pokemon collector and amateur scientist. Let's hear it for Kalista!" The teen drew in a deep breath, just thankful she hadn't mentioned this contest to Leon. ..... Although... Suppressing a sudden giggle, she suddenly felt much more pleasant about the whole ordeal; somehow, imagining her dearest with long hair, fake boobs, and a dress rather took her mind off of her anxiety. Putting on her best attempt at an air of nonchalance, then, she strutted a bit sloppily out onto the stage. The idea was that in trying not to be formal, she may come off like a lanky guy walking. Once in the spotlight, she reached up to the black wig-bangs haning in front of her eyes and casually pushed them to one side, then took out a PokeBall to release its contents. Materializing beside her was a Treecko/Deino hybrid. The little beasty stood upright with Treecko's basic form, but had the whole 'Beatles haircut' of a Deino. To match, Kali had (very painstakingly) french-braided her natural long silver hair up the back of her head to conceal it, replacing it with a mop of a black wig, the back of which had been fashioned with copious amounts of hair gel into a spike, though less prominent than her Treino's. She had realized at some point that her eyebrows did not match this new hair, but had been able to do little about it by the time she noticed, hoping that wouldn't detract points. Her face was plain and unpainted, which in her own mind made her look average and semi-masculine already, though the judges agreeing to this degree was unlikely. To match the Treino's blue base tone, Kali wore a blue tux of a fairly similar shade. The jacket of this was open, revealing a purple shirt inside that matched the Pokemon's belly, and the long coat tails were actually green to match her companion's distinctly Treecko tail. Under this coat and jacket, her normally respectable if not necessarily generous chest had been bound with layer upon layer of bandages. Even still it was not completely flat, but with a little imagination from the front view she just might have had really odd pecks or something. Around the Pokemon's neck was Deino's standard black collar, though the spots were the same green as its tail rather than the standard purple. To match this, Kali wore a cravat (taking a page in fashion out of Leon's book; heh~) of the same color scheme, though it was more just polka-dotted as opposed to the neatly aligned spots on the Treino. Finally, Kali wore tall black boots under her long pants. These did not particularly match the Pokemon, but they did make her a good three inches taller, with an inch of overall sole and two extra inches of heel. Arceus knew she was getting out of them the moment this was over, but at least: (A) they were thick and supportive instead of thin and brittle like those damned heels she bought for the ball, and (B) she didn't have to wear them nearly as long. The real fun in all this? Her incredibly masculine-looking Pokemon (considering it wasn't really humanoid past being bipedal and having hair, at any rate) was also actually female. After a moment to pose, she and the Treino did a bit of a secret handshake (like total bros... yo? something like that), then bowed before the judges and hurried off the stage.

After a few more, it seemed that all the pageant participants had gone, and with that, there was a ten minute wait as Felis went over the thoughts again before finally coming back out and announcing the winners. "Wonderful wonderful~ Everyone did a great job! First place Crown goes to Miss Kalista!" Runner Up goes to Miss Sofia! And Honorable Mention place goes to Miss Vengeance!" Though he had wanted to be biased and put Rosa in first place, Felis had somehow managed to keep it together and had gone over in his head which ones filled the exact categories and how nicely they had all been presented when it came down to it. "Please come and claim your prizes!" he called.
