Runway Drag Show @ Sanctuary
Iwatooshi
Despite his size, he's rather swift on his feet, with hips swaying and smile dazzling as always. It really wasn't hard to dress him up and shape his body right, evident by the way his bustier is tight and supporting around his pecs.
With a wink towards anyone and everyone in the audience, he leans forward and blows a kiss before arching back up to slip the jacket off of his shoulders, tossing it into the crowd. The little rabbit tail is now visible, as well as some of his other curves. You're welcome.
He reaches up and tugs on one of the rabbit ears, feigning shyness and pouting. A final (cleavage-bearing) bow, and his time is unfortunately up. He gives a tiny wave and turns smoothly, sashaying away. Thank you for coming out tonight, you were a lovely audience!]

Now she can't even unsee the image of Nicki Minaj.
She's pretty much lost connection to her mind as soon as reaches the audience end of the runway. Everything just happened all at once, and she's pretty sure the heavy weight in her arms is his coat. Did he just? And did he? Was that a tail? Was that loud naginata being shy and pouting?!
What the fuck just happened?!]
no subject
This does not however, deter Imano in the slightest. He does manage to find something bunny-themed that's not worrisome to wear, albeit much frillier and quite possibly the polar opposite in terms of aesthetic appeal. Well, it came with rabbit ears and he can't complain.
The audience is probably either having a reaction similar to Miss Vietnam or completely unable to contain their laughter. Imano got front and center for the catwalk (he learned that some fashion styles make discerning age completely impossible for folks, and that's made it possible for him to get in), cheering on Iwa while hopping up and down the best he can in this floofy dress. At least no one is bothered yet. ]
Re: Iwatooshi
This is
Ene doesn't know how to react to this. She really hadn't expected anything this flashy or revealing, let alone from someone who looked like that, and at first she's completely flustered. Face red and mouth opening and closing like a fish, watching him strut his stuff...
The longer she watches, the more she gets used to it, and she starts laughing hysterically. Yes, this was weird, but also pretty amazing. Did he just blow a kiss. Look at that tail. When he bows, she claps and cheers enthusiastically for him
Zack Fair
Rin) had thought this was going to be embarrassing (RIN), it certainly doesn't look that way. (He only has so many options when trying to figure out the mixup, and it really only points in one direction, you-know-who.)In fact, the only thing that really gives him away in this ridiculous pink monstrosity of a dress is the broad cut of his shoulders; the cut of the dress does the rest of the work, mimicking a shape with curves that Zack really doesn't possess. It hugs uncomfortably in places his uniform never has, and he's fairly sure he fails to understand the existence of heels moreso than he ever has before now. "Shoes are just shoes" is, in fact, really not true; why do these even exist?
Despite the awkwardness of his walk (which is nothing short of a hot mess when balancing on pointed heels is a skill he's never had to master--or really consider, ever--before), and the momentary discomfort of it,
the idiotZack is smiling broadly like this is just another common occurrence. In this, there is, at least one layer of silver lining: putting all that practice (minuscule in reality, but he learns quickly) with Aerith's hair to good use. Because even if he weren't completely secure in his identity (at least, in any respect that doesn't involve Hamlet-esque internal monologues on the nature of monsters), charity counts as good use. Other people always do.When he makes it to the end, blessedly without falling flat on his face, he pulls off the wreath of flowers on his head, throws it out to the crowd and winks, before spinning around, almost losing his balance (again), and sauntering back the way he came.]
no subject
(yes, he's having horrible flashbacks to approximately a year ago, when he'd been dolled up in a pink maid's outfit - pink, goddamn it, while the rest of the team got the usual black-and-white ensemble - and had spent the entirety of the cultural festival wishing that he could disappear into thin air.)
zack wouldn't pass as a woman, not with his build, but he still manages to pull it off. it's the confidence more than anything else, the swagger in his step, the cheer he carries about with him. without apparent effort.
rin has confidence in his intelligence, in his prowess in the pool, but it's always been tempered by childhood insecurity. a fish-hook through his ribs, tugging him away from that final step.
maybe that's why he'd been drawn to zack. despite the disquiet oh which rin has caught only glimpses - zack's cheerfulness is hardly his definitive trait - zack has optimism enough for all the worlds that have been lost. despite his wobbly steps. despite the fact that he's bursting from that eye-searingly pink dress.
rin has to rip himself away from the sudden - and uncharacteristic - bout of navel-gazing, falling back on a classic: the toothy grin. he waves up at zack, cat-calling without shame. ]
Looking good, Zack — !
[ a moment later, zack reaches the end of the catwalk, does his jaunty little twirl, and rin reaches out - driven by instinct to catch something tossed at his face, not by conscious thought - and finds himself with a wreath of flowers.
always the bridesmaid, never the bride — ?
okay, maybe rin's grin falters just slightly. maybe there's a hint of color in his cheeks.
damn it. ]
no subject
The familiarity in the catcalling on Rin's end is nice at least. Not nearly as awkward (to creepy) as he'd pictured it.
By the time he comes back out, the shoes have been lost. Conveniently "dropped" backstage in a pile he'll also "conveniently" forget about as he makes a note to never take them for granted in any situation ever again. (The dress, on the other hand, hasn't. Despite the strange and unfamiliar fit, it doesn't hinder his movement in a painful way.)
It's only then that he notices the flowers. Aww.]
Oh Rin, I do.
no subject
he sees zack long before zack catches sight of him. kind of hard to miss him, considering that he's wearing that garishly bright shade of pink.
gou would have enjoyed this, rin thinks, and abruptly hates himself for it.
by the time zack approaches, rin is ready with a quip on his tongue -- which, of course, zack ruins. in a show of startling maturity, he tosses the flowers right into zack's face. ]
I'd rather propose to one of those bird-horse things you came up with.
[ yep, on a roll re: that "startling maturity thing. ]
no subject
They're not made up! [Which is all he can manage in-between laughing and trying to catch his breath--harder to do in this waist-hugging dress. Once he finally recomposes, he just continues to flash that bright, unceasing smile, despite glancing at Rin with a determined sincerity.]
So, how'd I do?
[Because all of this is serious business, clearly. (He wouldn't have said no to a charity benefit in any case, but so vastly out of his comfort zone, it wouldn't do to not try, right?)]
no subject
5/10. Might've scored higher if you didn't try to poke my eyes out with that thing.
[ and he gestures towards the flowers.
alright, he's being a bit harsh, but - did zack expect an honest answer? really?
he's definitely not admitting to the fact that zack got his vote, either. sorry, buddy, you signed up for this friendship, you deal with its consequences. ]
no subject
I'll have you know I've been told my smile is worth at least that all by itself.
[He doesn't believe it, but he doesn't put much stock in it either: charity is charity, and he doesn't really mind. But this had been Rin's idea (if not his, then whose?), and he deserves at least a little mock grief for it, right? He tries to bat his eyelashes coyly, and just ends up cracking up halfway through.
Fine, so maybe the almost-failing grade is worth it.]no subject
Yeah, by whom? Your mom?
[ yes, rin is now comfortable enough around zack to sink to the level of 'your mom' jokes. this is worthy of a steam achievement. +1 in friendship level.
also, batting his eyelashes? definitely not zack's look. especially with the insertion of raucous laughter. rin might have to subtract a point just for that little show.
and he's still not copping to this whole thing being his idea, though. if zack wants to pry that bit of information from him, it's going to come at great cost. these teeth aren't just for show, alright. ]
no subject
Look, I have it on plenty of authority. And who'd sign up for this if they didn't, huh?
[He doesn't need to pry. The inkling is enough.]
I'd taken you for a guy who knows a winner when he sees one, but I guess if that's not true...
[
Shut up, Zack.]no subject
Yeah, keep talking. Your head's gonna get so big that you won't be able to pull that dress off after this is all over.
[ which will make it all the funnier when he loses.
never mind the fact that rin voted for him, but that's neither here nor there. ]
YOU LEFT THIS WIDE OPEN AND I'M NOT SORRY
did) say long forgotten.]Thinking about getting my dress off, huh?
