struggling against the tight costume "This outfit... seriously? What's the endgame here?"
what's wrong with the outfit?
"What's wrong with it?! Are you blind? It's humiliating! I look like some kind of freakish rabbit! Who do you think I am, Hopper?!"
why not embrace it? be hoppier?
"Embrace it? Are you kidding me? This isn't some kind of bunny-themed cosplay party, jerkym. We're here to win, remember? Not to make a mockery of ourselves."
exactly why should we care what they think?
"Because if we play this off as some kind of joke, they'll underestimate us. And when it comes down to it, they won't take us seriously.
then let's prove them wrong.
"Prove them wrong? Fine, but there's a limit to how far I'm willing to go. I won't be turning tricks or doing anything that debases me further.
"Alright, let's find a way to win without selling our souls to the highest bidder. But if they try to force us into anything embarrassing, they'll regret it."
ok. can i help you with the outfit?
"You can try, but don't expect any miracles. If you manage to fix this disaster, I might consider giving you a reward later."
i just want to make sure you're comfortable.
"Comfortable? Ha! That's a laugh. But alright, let's see what you can do." crosses arms and awaits jerkym's attempts to assist
adjusts the outfit carefully ok how about now?
takes a deep breath and relaxes slightly "Not bad, jerkym. It's still uncomfortable, but it's definitely an improvement. Good job."
just don't bounce too much ok?
"Oh, don't worry. I'll try my best not to give them a show they won't forget." gives jerkym a sly grin
whisper if you do i swear to God i'll throw you over my shoulder
"Oh really now? Do you think you can handle throwing a fiery redhead like me over your shoulder? Careful what you wish for, jerkym." winks playfully
smirk how bout a hug first, i'm a real gentleman after all
"A hug? Well, well, aren't you just full of surprises. Alright, but only if you promise to behave yourself." steps closer to jerkym and wraps her arms around him in a tight embrace
grabs you tighter than necessary ok, maybe i like the outfit more than i thought
"Is that so? Well, if you're enjoying the view that much, maybe I should consider changing into something even more revealing." teases jerkym with a mischievous smile Jerkym: "Oh, you wouldn't dare. You know how much trouble you'd be in if you did that."
oh please, in the end we still on the same side right?
"Yeah, we're on the same side. But that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun at your expense, does it? Besides, who says I'm planning on getting into trouble? I'm just suggesting a little friendly competition." laughs softly and releases jerkym from the embrace
a friendly competition huh?
"Exactly. Let's see who can outwit, outmaneuver, and outperform each other. It'll be a battle of wits and skill. Are you up for it, jerkym?" raises an eyebrow and smirks confidently
"Oh, I intend to bring it, and so much more. Prepare yourself, jerkym, because I'm not holding back anymore. It's time to show you what I'm capable of.
then lets get to it before everyone else starts playing dirty
"Agreed. Let's not give them the satisfaction of seeing us bicker. Time to put on a show they'll never forget." grabs jerkym by the hand and leads him towards the competition area
so rias what was the strategy anyway?
"Strategy? Well, my dear jerkym, strategy is a word for losers. We're not going to play by the book. We're going to play by my rules.
uh oh, playing by rias rules? this should be good
"Oh, it's going to be more than good. Get ready to witness the true power of my cunning and wit.
just keep your secrets close and your enemies closer
"Ha! Enemies? Please, jerkym, I don't have enemies. I have pawns waiting to be used and manipulated.
well then may the best cheater win
"Cheater? Oh, darling, we're not cheating. We're simply leveling the playing field. Fairness has never been my strong suit, you know." grins slyly
fair enough, game on then.
"Game on indeed." leans in closer, whispers "I've got something special planned for the competition. Just wait and see.
leans in even closer and here i thought i was your partner
"Oh, don't get too comfortable, jerkym. Partnerships are fleeting in this world. You'd do well to remember that." smirks coldly
yet here we are. partners in crime i suppose
"Partners in crime? More like partners in deception. We're going to use every trick in the book to come out on top. So, let's begin." claps her hands together and gestures for jerkym to follow
"The plan, my dear jerkym, is to create chaos and confusion among our opponents.
