Soon after we had entered the Basilacom the girls had transformed back to their usual selves and now we sat on varying bean bags and chairs in a small circle, you can already guess who was sitting in the middle. If you said anyone beside me then you my friend do not deserve a cookie. Everyone else go get a cookie. Got it? Good let us continue.

"So... What now?" I asked, looking around feeling like they are all assessing me.

"Well first you should at least take off your helmet if you can" Blanc spoke up, the voice of logic speaking once again. "Histoire and the others are going to be back soon as they more than likely saw what happened when you appeared"

"Aw boo and ruin the surprise about how ugly I am?" I joked but it looked like it fell on deaf ears. "Jeez tough crowd"

Reaching behind my head I twisted a small switch thingy which loosed parts of the helmet allowing me to slip it off my head easily, the LED's turning off as I twisted the switch.

Feeling the cold air on my skin made me wince for a second before I relaxed, placing the helmet in front of me I looked up to see all the girls had quickly moved to sit together in front of me.

"See? I'm not some model" I spoke up, pointing at my face "Nothing special here"

There was a brief pause as they all leaned forward slightly, staring at me.

"Okay now this is creepy" I muttered "Why don't you have a look at my helmet instead?" Picking it up I held it out to them, Noire being the first to grab it and start examining it.

"You look a lot different compared to all the guys living here" Vert spoke up

"That is probably because I'm not from around here" I replied as I heard a elevator ding "Quick pass my helmet!"

Noire handed it back to me confused and I quickly put it back onto my head, twisting the switch to tighten it and turn on the LED's as Histoire and the CPU candidates came around the corner.

"Ooh space man!" I heard Ram shout out

"Awesome space man" Rom agreed in her usual innocent tone of voice.

Nepgear was not speaking but I can safely assume she busy freaking out over technology or something.

"So which one of you wants to explain who this man is?" Histoire asked, floating round to be beside the other girls, the CPU candidates following behind her quickly.

"Well this is Thomas Fletcher" Neptune answered "He is a fellow fourth wall breaker"

"And a writer" Blanc spoke up

"And he is cosplaying in that armour" Noire spoke up.

"He looks like a gamer" Vert followed on, not wanting to stay silent again.

"And you all trust him that much?" Histoire asked sceptically "He has got a weapon on his back"

They all froze apparently only just noticing the rifle, I needed to defuse this situation before someone gets the wrong idea.

"Oh no no it is just a prop" I answered quickly, pulling it off slowly "Have a loo-" Before I finished Nepgear had grabbed it and was already fiddling with it.

"Never mind wait till Nepgear is finished then look at it" I finished.

"Well why don't you take off your cosplay gear and we can talk a little less formally?" Histoire suggested.

"I can't really" I responded looking away, I had a helmet on but I couldn't stop the blush from rising to my face.

"Why not?" Blanc asked cocking her head to the side.

"Yeah we want to see the Space man under his armour!" Ram agreed furiously

"Yeah see the space man!" Rom echoed her agreement.

Looking back I could see that Noire knew exactly why I said no as her face became flushed again.

"I'm wearing a body suit under this so it would not exactly be a good idea to get out of this" I answered hanging my head.

"What is a body suit?" Neptune asked and everyone looked just as confused as she was except for Noire, Uni, Nepgear and Histoire.

"Uh really tight clothing, like spandex but it covers the body" Noire put it gently "When you have gone HDD you are wearing a body suit"

"Oh..." Neptune replied before her face became slightly flushed "Right keep it on!"

All of them except Rom and Ram nodded furiously, those two were just confused but Blanc promised to explain later.

"You can take your helmet off though" Vert spoke up

"Yeah do that then!" Ram spoke up again, sitting up and glaring at me as if daring me to disagree with her.

"Yeah let's see your face again!" Plutia spoke up, she looked half asleep which she does all the time now that I think about it.

"I guess I should at least do that" I muttered

"Yeah do it!" Ram responded with her usual level of aggression.

"Do it! Do it!" Rom chanted again, I swear to god Rom is so freaking innocent and cute.

As I reached up I could see all the girls lean forward again, even Nepgear stopped pulling my prop gun apart to watch. Twisting the switch again the LED's turned off resulting in an gasp from the CPU candidates. Pulling the helmet off my head instead of the silent treatment there was a low "Oooh" from everyone.

"He looks cute" Ram said bluntly which resulted in everyone telling her to be quiet. "What I'm just saying what is on your minds"

"Anyway!" Neptune interrupted "We should get you some clothes or something, Nep junior probably wants to look at that entire cosplay kit you've done and so does lonely heart here"

"L Lonely heart!?" Noire sputtered as we all got up

"Well it is true, especially if you plan on working for the guild or something you are going to want armour and weapons" Nepgear spoke up, reassembling the prop gun again "I could make a copy of these when they work but I'd need your help"

"I'd be up for that. Better than sitting around doing nothing" I responded.

"So you plan on staying in Planeptune?" Noire spoke up sounding slightly saddened

"Actually he can't really" Histoire spoke up "Our guest rooms are currently under construction after one of Nepgears experiments ran free, we only have one free and that one is going to be used by Plutia"

"That was an accident!" Nepgear whined

"Still destroyed our guest rooms" Histoire reminded her. "He will have to find another place to stay"

"Noire do you have a place for me to stay?" I turned to Noire which made her flinch but a small smile on her lips

"Yes Lastation Basilacom has many guest rooms" She almost whispered, pushing her two fingers together. I think we found a new contender for being the cutest. Also wait did I juts break Noire's tsundere side?

"It's not like I want you to stay round my nation anyway" She spoke up, looking away so her pigtails whipped around.

Never fucking mind she is still just as tsundere as normal.

"Well I guess if you do not mind I'll stay round yours" I responded, taking my helmet back and putting it into the bag on my back. This bag is like magic or something because I can't even feel the helmet in there. I do not want to be the one to question pocket dimensions as that'll probably end horribly.

"Well when we have your clothes could you leave this cosplay kit with me? I'm going to need it if we want to make your armour" Nepgear spoke as we piled into the elevator

'Psst check your bag' I heard the Author whisper, also noting how Neptune twitched slightly as the Author spoke.

Moving it in front of me I reached inside and found what looks like a data pad in there, taking it out I tapped the screen and it turned on showing different files all saying "Blueprints" at the end. Author you sneaky bugger.

"Would this help instead?" handing the pad to Nepgear she looked through it before a small squeal came from her as she hugged the pad.

"Yes! This has so many designs not just the armour but other things!" She replied, almost jumping in glee "When we are free we should go through this together and choose what next to make!"

"Right gotcha calm down" I tried but she was barely listening so Blanc tapped her on the head and she came back to this world.

"Today is going to be a fun day" I muttered as the doors opened revealing a small crowd facing the doors, all making various noises when they saw us. Probably due to the guy in armour walking with the girls.

"A really fun day" The sarcasm could not be any heavier.
