002: Love and Beauty~

Ahaha~ I see Genessia has finally seen fit to give me, the Dark Adonis, a proper welcome!

A beauty pageant, perfect for one as elegant and handsome as myself, non? I pity my competition, for I fear they will surely be overshadowed once I take to the stage!

[With that, Vyers spreads his demonic wings, posing in an attempt to make himself look impressive.]

Ah, how sinful it is for one to be as beautiful as moi!

[ Nanana is just eating pudding while she replies, one spoon at a time. ]

You're pretty confident, aren't you?

Video

[beautifulmidboss]

But of course! Surely none can resist one of such an exquisite beauty as moi~

Video

[buriedtreasure]

Everyone has types though, don't they?

Video

[beautifulmidboss]

Yet I am elegant enough to match all of them~

You will surely see when the competition begins, Mademoiselle!

[buriedtreasure]

What about the gruff manly wild type? That's the opposite of elegance.

[ She's played a lot of games.. ]

[beautifulmidboss]

Hm...

[Although he hated to admit it, she did have a point.]

Well... I suppose my charms could even win over the most stubborn of hearts~

Video

[buriedtreasure]

You're awfully confident.

Well, I am known in the Netherworld as the Dark Adonis Vyers~ One does not simply gain a title like that without possessing true beauty~

[Or an ego big enough to give himself one.]

[ Well hell, what is this? Kodachi Kuno, of course, has heard all about this pageant. It wouldn't really be fair for her to enter since she would obviously win, so she's been paying attention to male participants... Mostly hoping that Ranma might show up.

Instead she sees..

[W- Wait a moment it couldn't.. It couldn't be! There's simply no way! .. It's impossible! .. Isn't it?]

[Ok, keep cool, Kodachi. Perhaps it is just a misunderstanding.. Perhaps she's just getting a little excited over nothing. This could all be cleared up with just one question after all.

And so the young gymnast appears on the video, and she appears to be pretty nervous. But she forces a smile.]

Well that is quite the coincidence.. I was, just at this very moment, thinking the same about myself.. H- how fateful!

[Video] Awww

[beautifulmidboss]

[Hm? This was not a face he'd seen before. Nevertheless, she seemed a little intimidated by him.

Perhaps she was overwhelmed by his power and beauty?]

Hmhm~ It is a truly wonderful idea, wouldn't you agree, Mademoiselle?

I assume you are planning to compete as well?

[Video]

[Kodachi raises a hand to fidget with her ponytail without even realizing. She gives a forced laugh as she waves dismissivly with her opposite hand.

He doesn't seem to recognize her. But of course he wouldn't, he hadn't seen her since she was a bitty!]

O- Oh no, I.. I mean I considered it, but it really would be a waste for me to win. It would be a greater challenge if my 'champion', so to speak, won in my stead.

So.. Ah, by any chance, would you already have a coach to assist you, sir?

[Video]

[beautifulmidboss]

Your Champion, hm? So, you saw my potential and decided to choose moi to adopt this role? Well played~ I'm glad that someone in this place can truly appreciate the beauty I possess~!

[…That's probably a 'yes'.]

[Video]

[never_go_back]

[Blink. Blink.

She meant that Karla was her champion, not him. But she can work with that; in fact this is perfect! Her eyes light up as she can picture it now.

The cameras are flashing. The crowd is in a standing appleause! Vyers was just crowned winner of the pageant, then, as Kodachi hands him a bouquet of black roses... in the most dramatic reveal, she reveals herself as his daughter.

It's perfect. IT'S PERFECT! She screams at the top of her lungs.]

YEEEEES!!!!

[Video]

[beautifulmidboss]

[Vyers, naturally, was egocentric enough to assume that there was no way she could have meant anyone else. Clearly, if she mentioned it, it was a request for him to become her champion, right?

The screaming did catch him a little off-guard, though, leaving the demon watching the video feed with a somewhat disorientated expression before he brushes himself off.]

…Of course, I am sure I will show you a truly glorious performance.

[forever_prince]

...I will personally blind anyone that votes for you.

[beautifulmidboss]

[He huffs.]

I will not have you stifling those here who are blessed with good taste!

[greenmagick]

A beauty pageant? [Terra looks curiously at the screen. He is a very pretty man.]

[Video]

[beautifulmidboss]

Indeed, mademoiselle! Have you heard of them before?

[It was good to see her again.]

It has been a little while. I hope you are doing well?

[Video]

[greenmagick]

I'm doing better.

[Terra gives him a hesitant smile.]

but I'm afraid I haven't heard of a beauty pageant.

[Video]

[beautifulmidboss]

I am very glad to hear it.

[He gave a warm smile of his own.]

Now, how to explain… A beauty pageant is where a group of beautiful men or women compete in a series of events, to prove that they are the most charming and attractive of all the participants.

[Video]

[greenmagick]

That sounds... interesting. [Definitely not something she is used too.] What kind of events?

[Video]

[beautifulmidboss]

I believe we are to wear a number of different 'looks' as it were. Casual wear, swimwear and formal wear, for example, and show off our talents and charisma in the process~

[Video]

[greenmagick]

Oh? Do a lot of people attend these events? It sounds interesting. [Terra never really considered herself pretty and doesn't really feel anything when people tell her she is. Isn't that something that makes people happy?] I bet it makes people very happy.
