Konoka | Wet T-shirt contest for Women

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Konoka wields her enthusiasm like a weapon. I mean just look at her icon, guys and girls

Compared to the other two, Konoka immediately appears with a chipper strut, holding two maracas and shaking them like nobody's business. When the water drenches her, she doesn't even seem to notice. Instead, she twirls to the beat, even giving a playful wink.

Her movements don't seem to be entirely planned, so much as to a constant beat. She's wearing a nice yellow bra and panties underneath her white shirt.

She also doesn't expect to win, given that she was equally distracted impressed by her competitors, but she was here for fun anyway, and it's evident from her movements. She'll chat with anyone while she dries off, though given the heat she doesn't put too much effort in that!

Well, there's one person you probably didn't expect to see amongst the carnival, Konoka... Aaaaand she's just kind of surprised.

Pidonus let Konoka go a while back and borderline disappeared after that. And now, here she was, amongst the carnival, just kind of staring at Konoka's unusual choice of activity.

She ahd to wonder if this was somehow her fault.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Who knows?

Everglade being a hellhole just made her want to dive headfirst into fun and forget it. That might have happened depending on Pidonus or not.

But being distracted by girls? Now that is something that's closer to Pidonus's fault... but that's the farthest thing from Konoka's mind.

No, when Konoka spots her after the contest, she's kinda surprised too... and doesn't know how to react.

[have_hat_will_travel]

...

"So. Uh."

Pidonus blinked a bit. It wasn't like her to be thrown off-guard like this. But yet, that always seemed to be how it happened, now.

Genessia was like that...

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"Pidonus-han." Konoka attempted to shake off the cobwebs over her mind and look at the succubus, but that still proved difficult. It took her a moment to actually ask an obvious question. One like: "Where have you been?"

[have_hat_will_travel]

Pidonus stopped.

".... Places. Frankly, too many of them. Trying to figure out... Something. Hell if I know what."

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"Mmmn," Konoka stepped a little closer. Truth be told she was feeling a little more nervous, given what Pidonus has done, but she also seemed like she had been reflecting.

"Whatever it is, I hope you find it." She crossed her arms.

[have_hat_will_travel]

"What of you? I must admit, I never would have expected... This out of you."

Truth be told, Pidonus had been this close to entering herself...

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"Honestly? Everglade has been awful, even if I like my business there."

Konoka looked at herself, given that she was still drying and her bra was visible.

"I just wanted to forget and have fun."

And probably forget more than just Everglade, by the looks of things.

[have_hat_will_travel]

"I... Guess I can't blame you for that. Though, you seem like you've been thinking about a lot more than just that..."

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"A little bit." She looked away. "Home's too far away, and I try not to think too much about it, but every now and then, it comes back hard."

[have_hat_will_travel]

"Home... A nice thing to have, I guess. If I get the choice, I'm never going back to mine, though. Too much crap back there."

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"Mmmn," Konoka looked away. Pidonus seemed like she was going through a tough time too. "I'm curious though... why did you not peg me as the partying type?"

[have_hat_will_travel]

"Hime cut plus your strong focus on your morality even under my spell indicated someone who had a really strong priority on their 'goodness'. My experience with people like that has been that they're usually not that sort. So. Yeah."

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Konoka poked her hair. "What does my hair have to do with this...?"

She did recognize the emphasis of 'goodness'. "Well, my goal in life is to do the most good I can with my power. I don't necessarily think about being 'lawful' as you imply."

[have_hat_will_travel]

"Trust me, that's a good thing. Paladins have a strong tendency to be morons and impractical ones at that. Half the reason I'm as good with charm spells as I am is because it was literally the only way I could get them pointed at who they would actually want to fight to stop something."

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"Huh, seems lucky that I'm not a paladin then!"

Konoka seemed to know very well what kind of logic people like that operated under. Still, she and Pidonus remained at an awkward impasse, and the brunette didn't know how to ease into the subject she felt needed to be addressed.

She attempted sympathy then. "So I take it you've had to work with difficult people?"

[have_hat_will_travel]

"More like repeatedly trick them into targeting the people who were actually responsible for the horrific deeds they were trying to stop. Around the eighth time, I just kind of stopped bothering trying to tell them what I was doing. You'd think they'd want to listen to people, but nope, pointy hat means sword's out."

[im_gonna_heal_u]

"T-they don't even like mages?" Konoka felt aghast. Sure, there were many evil mages throughout time, her world included, but it seemed like her world was overrun by very judgmental and dangerous people!

She didn't really know what else to say at that point.

[have_hat_will_travel]

"More like they saw me, and it was immediately 'Why did you become this' this, and 'surrender that you may be purified' that, and their having no clue how my kind work. No surprise, no one pays attention to the demons, we're just NPCs."

[creativedifferences]

[Now this is a performance Ibuki can get behind. Even when she's still in her seat, she's dancing right along to the beat of those maracas, feeding off the fun Konoka is clearly having and almost to the point where she forgets to check out the part she's actually signed up to judge.

Doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate the view when she does remember to sit still long enough to check it out. The bright underwear seems to her to be a perfect match for the lively performance and that's extra marks from Ibuki.

Like she was ever going to mark low in the first place. Ibuki is clearly master of the four-point scale.]

Wow, what energy! Ibuki almost feels exhausted just from watching! No question, this is another nine from me.

[lazyjustice]

[he likes it. bright. vibrant. enthusiastic. very nice shade of yellow. He prefers the more seductiveness of the last and this is almost too vibrant though the energy of her dancing does provide a lot of... visual stimulation. Still between this and that he has to go with]

Eight and a half.

[justicereigns]

Ten.

[... Don't ask him to explain it, and don't ask him to keep looking further, HIS FACE AND EARS ARE RED ENOUGH ALREADY THANKS!]

[But he likes it.]

[Go Konoko go.]

[meowsculinity]

[ the grin plastered on savir's face should be evidence enough of his enjoyment. by the time she finishes, he's clapping lightly. ]

Magnificent. Ten.
