Well then, hello all!
YES, today is an epic day! Why, you ask?
Well, today, I was able to update ALL my stories. YES. ALL FOUR.
~Do the happy dance~
Anyways, as it turns out, I write my best when I have menstruation, so expect updates every month or so!
DISCLAIMER: I WON NOTHING BUT MY OCs
Shelby was literally jumping up and down when Nero's announcement finished. All the competitors filed out, as the other instructors said, and went straight to their rooms. As it turned out, Maya and Billie shared a room near to theirs, so Otto and Wing felt comfortable with the presence of people they knew.
"Whoa."
That was all Wing could say when he spotted his uniform on his bed. It was like a white military uniform, though with no medals, and they had long sleeves. The lining was a stunning scarlet red instead of the usual yellow, to represent Japan. On one of the sleeves, stretching from the cuffs, was a single red streak, like a ray of the sun. The uniform was simple, yet it seemed to have a lasting effect. An impression, of sorts.
"Quite fitting." Otto commented. "Though it may clash with your hair."
"I could say the same for you, my friend." Wing said, pointing to outfit the Otto had in his hands. It was the polar opposite of his, at least color-wise. The suit was a dark blue, this time with white lining. The sleeves most likely reached to just below his elbow, and a blood-red cravat went along with the ensemble.
"I'd rather look like a pint of Guinness than an upturned panda." Otto retaliated, and Wing laughed. Otto couldn't help but to laugh along.
"Alright then." Wing said. "Let's put these on, and save ourselves the embarrassment of wearing the gaudy clothes we have on right now."
Wing was right: the suit Otto wore rather clashed with his hair. Though in a nice way. Like Wing's, it, or rather, Otto himself made a lasting impression.
As for Wing, Otto could say just the same. They both emitted a sort of aura that was welcoming in a way that was still quite competitive.
That was a good cover for him.
Speaking of which, Otto's mind switched to undercover mode, when he and Wing had put on their clothes. He himself knew that he was pushing his own boundaries a little far. Number One ordered him not to make any ties with any person in the Island. And what was he doing?
Doing the exact opposite of his orders, that's what.
However, he could still use the excuse that he was seemingly making bonds so as to gain information.
But Otto had another mission. A mission he put on himself.
He was to find out about his past. Fast.
The time he would spend on the Island would be the longest he had outside the organization. He only had half a year (or less, if he had reported enough information to Number One and his superior had taken down Maximilian Nero) to find out as much as he could about his life before he was carted off from God-knows-where.
And if he was right, Wing may have had an idea of his musings.
If his suspicions were right, Otto guessed that Wing knew something of his past. Because of his reaction when he saw him on the plane.
It was shock.
A shock a person would have, as if he'd seen a ghost.
Otto had to know. Soon, as well.
"So how do I look?" Laura asked, twirling her dress around in front of the boys.
"Very attractive." Otto said dismissively, though Laura still blushed.
"Th-thank you." She said, reddening furiously. Her dress really was nice though. The dress itself was made of a soft, flowy, bright blue material. White sashes wrapped around her chest waist, forming an X, making the lower part twirl a lot. A red rose was gracefully placed in her short hair, setting a nice aura on Laura.
"Well then boys, how about me?" Shelby asked, stepping up. "Very impressive as well." Wing replied, and Shelby smirked. Her dress, this time, was mostly white. It was a U-cut dress with long red sleeves, and the upper chest was blue. From the waist down, the dress was a dazzling white, and on the rim of the dress were tiny gold stars. It gave her an impressive look for sure, and her letdown hair set the dress off nicely.
"Well then, look like you four are ready." Said Maya, approaching with her sister. They had different dresses on, though they were from the same country. It must have been due to the different cultures of their motherland.
Maya wore a very ornate V-cut blouse, with extremely extraordinary designs that looked tribal. Most likely, these were designs from indigenous tribes from the Philippines. The skirt down looked woven, and the blue-red-yellow-white pattern was very nice looking. A hand-carved headband was placed in her long black hair, making the look very natural.
Her sister seemed like it was from the other side of the world, though there was still a native feel to it. The unique dress was basely a soft blue, though there were yellow suns on each large, puffed up sleeve. The modernized Filipiniana dress was made into a two-piece, though the distinction between the two parts was barely perceptible. The lower part of the dress was still blue, yet there was a thin see through cloth on top, which was red. They were both as beautiful as Laura and Shelby, and that was saying so much.
"Well then, I think we're all set to go to the opening ceremony." Billie stated, and they all shivered with anticipation. They all knew what was going to happen there.
The first two competitors.
A voice rang all over the Island, raising the excitement to its boiling point.
"Will all competitors and guides please head to the Main Hall for the Opening Ceremony. I repeat, will all competitors and guides please head to the Main Hall for the Opening Ceremony. Thank you."
Well then, I can safely say that this was merely a filler chapter, though I liked it :D
Read and Review please!
