(message was at 20th December 2013) (though regards costume suggestions you can suggest them but I'm unsure when I can get Noire to cosplay in the story again, but I'll see what I can do)
Note: Before chapter 38 I wish to mention that while this chapter has significance to the story the chapter (and the next one) is more for fun and novelty. I wanted to do this being as, as at the time of writing this it's nearly Christmas. And I thought it would be nice to do something novel, plus in Neptunia, Noire was known for her having numerous costumes but you have never seen them, I thought it would be nice to do my own version as well as to get you to imagine them wear different costumes. I hope you fans enjoy this chapter as much as I did writing it and I hope you will find it funny as well. Feel free to suggest costumes you want to see them wear and I'll do my best in putting them in the next chapter.
Thanks for favouriting and following me as well, I'm pleased that considering I'm not the best writer and for how unique my story is I feel I have a decent number of fans that appreciate my writing thank you, I hope you fans of mine have a nice Christmas and a nice 2014, now here's Chapter 38:
Chapter 38: Noire's cosplay Part 1
Words cannot describe how I'm feeling right now. One of the countless things I've always really liked about Noire, was how she's extremely attractive to me, having flawless beauty and every aspect of her appearance I loved ever so much. And so I feel very privileged that we'll get to see her in different exciting extravagant costumes right now. I like how she loves cosplaying so much and how she's doing it now, because we all love seeing her wear her countless supply of sophisticated top quality clothes with a never ending variety. It never ceases to amaze me that she has such capabilities. We have our cameras and video cameras ready to record for all of Lastation, our people to see.
Note: Readers please listen to Full Throttle Legacy while reading this:
It's not long before we see their first costume, although at first we hear some loud heavy metal music which happens to be something I know and love. Bizarrely though we then hear the sound of three motorbikes growling and booming. It is then those very three motorbikes approach us driving quick and doing a wheelie, only for them to stop when they're quite close to us. The three riders are Noire, Uni and Blanc.
They're still in their HDD form but while their arms and torsos are exactly like they are in their HDD form, although for Blanc her plug suit is now completely black, they are all wearing black trousers ideal for this, and black thigh length boots with high heels. They're also wearing black leather jackets and aviator sunglasses. I really love that look, they look so tough, and they look ever so cool. They do a few poses that really show off their sophistication, attraction, as well as how badass they are, and how much those outfits suit them considering the colour schemes they have. When they eventually show their backs to us, it's then I notice on the back of their jackets is the logo of Lastation for Noire and Uni, and Lowee for Blanc.
"My big sis, she looks so cool." Ram says in awe and amazement.
"Yeah she looks great." Rom agrees nodding with enthusiasm.
"Wow, I always knew you'd look great in biker outfits." I say to them both very proud of them, as I smile with much enthusiasm and appreciation.
"Thank you, we'll soon hit the road and find a new costume for you." Noire chuckles in appreciation of our compliments while flirting with enthusiasm, eager to show off her cosplay.
They sit in their bikes for a little while, continuing their different poses as we record their nice appropriate costumes with our video cameras and cameras. After which they then drive off out of our sight, showing off their engine noises to get changed, leaving a trail of smoke behind them from the exhausts. No doubt the smoke is purely harmless and cosmetic. It's a cool sight especially as the smoke is coloured black for Noire and Uni, and white for Blanc.
Note: Readers please listen to MW3 GIGN Spawn Theme while reading this:
It's not long before they return, although some different music is played in the background which sounds familiar. Out of nowhere three ropes are then dropped down in front of us and Noire, Uni and Blanc then slide down the ropes with such speed while looking confident and determined. Noire is wearing black commando clothes consisting of boots, baggy trousers, a waterproof jacket, a black bullet proof vest and black fingerless gloves. To go with the look she carries a silenced MP5 with scope, though she still keeps her long untied beautiful white hair flowing, and she still has her shades on.
Uni meanwhile wears a black ghilie suit, with her familiar Barrett 50 Cal with silencer and her stylish white curly hair. Blanc is wearing the same sort of clothes as Noire and Uni, but rather than her clothes being completely black like Noire's, it is instead white with arctic camouflage and her weapon is a Type 95 with silencer and scope. I couldn't help but notice how the outfit complements their figures a lot and how tight they are. They look so beautiful and cool and badass, ready for battle. For fun the three of them crouch down pointing their guns in various directions, their faces look to the distance as they aim, ready to fire on any enemy that comes their way.
"Servitas Vitae." Noire says calmly and with determination in a distinctive accent though I don't know where it's from.
They pose doing different stances, and doing different things to their guns from firing to reloading to using them as clubs, as we take plenty of photos and film them for quite a while.
"Mission accomplished très bien." Noire replies in the same accent and in the same tone.
After which they then walk out of our sight holding their guns up, brisk walking quickly like soldiers scanning an area thoroughly and with agility to determine whether the area is clear or not.
It's not long at all before Noire and Blanc come back only…..Interesting, Noire is now wearing Blanc's mk2 human costume, and Blanc is now wearing Noire's human mk2 costume. Very interesting indeed.
I remember how Blanc has short brown hair that covered the back of her neck with two strands going down across the throat, and also has a fringe as well. I also remember how she had blue eyes in her human form. As for the costume it consists of a white arm less dress that covers her torso and some of her upper legs, with dark brown markings on it as well some sort of belt. She'd also wear on top a white coat with light blue on the sides as well as brown pattern around the light blue. The coat also consists of fur especially at the top.
Usually she wears the coat in a way that exposes her shoulders and I see this with Noire right now. The costume also consists of a light blue ribbon that's worn around the neck as well as a white hat with light blue ruffles and a brown and gold pattern around the bottom with some centre piece at the front. Finally the footwear consists of light blue sandals with a fair amount of white ribbon around her right ankle which is tied and has some sticking out from her ankle. I remember liking the costume that Blanc wore, it looked nice.
It is so novel to see them in each other's clothing. I just can't help but watch with non-malicious amusement and a smile, as I see them in their human form but to see Noire wearing Blanc's white hat and furry coat, and to see Blanc wear the royal clear dress along with the finely decorated boots and gloves. They actually look very good in them. I just know that they'll do or say something that's hilarious, no doubt do an impression of the other.
"This costume is really flawless." Blanc remarks in a rather posh voice.
"Yes I like this costume, there's some tangerines and a book in the pockets of this warm coat." Noire speaks very quietly. It is difficult to hear what she is saying even if I can barely make it out.
"What was that Noire?" Blanc asks maintaining her posh polite tone.
"I SAID I LIKE THIS COSTUME, THERE'S SOME TANGERINES AND A BOOK IN THE POCKETS OF THIS WARM COAT!" Noire yells loudly but in a friendly manner.
We then all laugh a good amount as it's a good Blanc impression.
"Heh heh heh. Good impression not that I hate it or anything." Blanc says casually while maintaining the same voice. It's obvious that she did like the impression.
We all laugh again as Blanc responded with her own impression of Noire. They both pose in different ways, including ways that show their friendship and strong bond, as photos and film are taken of those two. I predict that our people will enjoy these costumes but find this one particularly funny. I wonder if they have any others like it.
"This would make a good book." Noire says quietly with a smile giggling at her impression, although we could hear what she says more clearly this time around.
"My costumes are so flawless, they're future proof." Blanc speaks with pride and passion while smiling and then chuckling.
After a short while they then walk away from us after smiling and waving in much appreciation, to change to another costume, leaving us to wonder what the next cosplay will consist of.
Note: Readers please listen to Bret Hart 1997 Theme while reading this:
Out of the blue the room is then lit with dim pink lights while the area fills with pink smoke. It is then Noire, Uni and Blanc all walk together towards us. They're in their HDD forms although Noire's hair is now a bright pink along with Uni's. I recognise Noire to be wearing wrestling attire of a certain famous wrestler, who because of my amnesia, I have no idea who it is.
This consists of black and bright pink trousers and boots, along with straps that go over the shoulders. She's also wearing a very distinctive black leather jacket with silver shoulder tassels, and on the back it says Black Heart Foundation with the Lastation logo on it, furthermore she wears distinctive bright pink sunglasses which are large and cover the eye sockets. While Uni wears the same clothes as Noire, Blanc's is different as she is wearing a black t shirt which says "What?" on it. She also wears jean shorts, two black knee braces, as well as boots. But in her hands are some cans of tangerine juice with Whoop ass on the can. All 3 of them carry a wrestling belt which says true goddess on it.
"What?" Blanc remarks loudly.
"What?" We say to her in response loudly.
"What?" She replies in the same tone.
"What?" We say in the same way.
"What?" She says again with more volume.
"What?" We reply louder.
"What?" She says another time with more vigour.
"What?" We reply again with more passion.
"What?" She says even louder.
"What?" We reply even louder.
"What?" She remarks with even more passion.
"What?" We reply again responding with the same passion in kind.
"What do you think of my costume?" She asks in a distinctive manner.
"What?" We respond to her with joy.
"Do you like it?" She says in the same manner.
"What?" We say with enthusiasm.
"Do you think my costume is great?" She yells with passion.
"What?" We say to her as we play along.
"Is it Wonderful? She asks louder.
"What?" We reply louder.
"Amazing?" She asks with more vigour.
"What?" We reply again even louder.
"Hell yeah it's amazing, it goes well with the toughest SOB and that's the bottom line… What because White Heart said so." As she speaks, I keep thinking how she sounds distinctive, almost like the person she's cosplaying as, in which its excellent and impressive.
"Yep because when it comes to doing everything, we are the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be." Noire adds speaking loudly and with passion, rallying the crowd.
Note: Readers please listen to Stone Cold Theme while reading this:
Blanc then opens the cans quickly, and just pours the drinks into her mouth without stopping, the drink does go into her mouth but it overflows onto her t shirt and around her face like a certain wrestler she's clearly cosplaying as. They pose also holding their titles in the air. I think it fits them very well, as they are the true goddesses to me. After all not only are they our leaders, they do such a wonderful job and I hope we can succeed.
We cheer very loudly for them as they do different poses for our various cameras that are very distinctive for them. Blanc even gives the middle finger for fun too, in fact quite a few of them. After a short while they walk away waving at us in appreciation, so that they can change to their next costumes. I must say it is great seeing them cosplay as wrestlers, the ones they happen to cosplay as suited their personalities to a T. I wonder if they've done much wrestling, no doubt they're experts at considering who they are.
Note: Readers please listen to Tekken 3 Arranged Xiaoyu Theme while reading this:
Noire and Blanc then return in their human forms, and their costumes have changed again. This time they dress as Tekken characters, as Noire wears a rather unique costume. She wears the same boots and gloves as the ones she wore in her mk2 human form, although for the torso she wears what I remember to be Xiaoyu's distinctive dress that she wore in what I think was Tekken 5 onwards. Weird how my amnesia works, then again it's probably due to the strong resemblance and the music being played in the background which triggers my memory.
The thing is while I may not know of the nation it came from, I know that it came from that one. Though instead of the usual orange or pink, it is in black with gold trimming and blue in parts. On her back is the large bow she wore in her mk2 human form. I find the costume rather interesting as I always knew Noire and Xiaoyu looked similar with regards black hair and pigtails, even if the length is significantly different, and it's nice to see that her costume is a mixture of the two.
Blanc's costume is a similar case, as she wears her hat from her mk2 human form as well as her white dress and ribbon around her neck, but she does not wear her furry coat though, instead she wears special boots that are white and light blue and are quite large in size and look tough. This reminds me of a character from the series, who I think if memory serves is called Asuka Kazama.
She also wears special long finger less gloves with elbow pads and padding for the hands with some of the material being the same as on her boots. Again they're in white and light blue and they remind me of what Asuka Kazama wore as one of her costumes for fighting in. They even do the poses of their respective Tekken characters when they're ready to fight and try and grunt like them and do their moves without hitting each other, which I feel is a nice tribute to them. This is so amazing and we're having so much fun, it pleases me that they seem to be getting started with the cosplaying, making me wonder what it's like after a while of this.
Strangely enough again, as I result of what has just triggered these memories, I also remember how Vert had long blond hair like Lili another character from Tekken who had involvement with Asuka. In fact it is just now that I remember that Asuka and Lili were rivals of a similar age just as Blanc and Vert are rivals of a presumed similar age. The thing is I just remember how there was a character in Neptunia called Tekken. And yet with this in mind despite that, I don't recall them ever referencing the fact that Noire, Blanc and Vert looked like Xiaoyu, Asuka and Lili respectively. This is especially unfortunate considering the cosplaying done by the former two being evidently clear that they resemble them a lot. Then again what can I expect considering how lousy I find the series to be.
Noire then does a distinctive whistle as if to call an animal, only for the floor to rumble quite a bit as a giant panda charges towards us in the distance. The creature is wearing large black bangles on its front paws which appear to be see through and be full of a black liquid running through it. The panda then stops behind Noire and stands on its two feet. My CPU then hugs the panda with love, only for the panda to hug back showing genuine love and affection for each other, while she leans on the panda as if to lie down on it. After which Noire then gets on its back causing the panda to smile. I find it awesome how Noire has her own panda, and it's nice how it's cool with being part of the cosplay with her, even growling in an approving, happy manner.
When I see them posing I quickly realise that my appearance is similar to Lei Wulong's, a Tekken character I liked, though I can't remember much else. In fact it's only after seeing this one that I remember him. As a result of this, I then take off my jacket and then head towards them, and pose together with them with much enthusiasm. I keep thinking about how nice it is that we're together dressed as Tekken characters, and yet we'll be meeting Lee Chaolan again later tonight, very appropriate indeed and I look forward to it. It's only fitting as his drinks is what saved us.
I reckon we'll do some Tekken training together or something as well, I look forward to that idea, to be able to spar with the finest fighters in the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Along with to see how I fare considering the skills I already know I have, which surprises me a lot but from what I can remember does make sense. I wouldn't mind seeing Heihachi in his diaper either and fight like a badass in it. The 3 of us then do some posing for the camera while staying in character for a while with different poses, angles and positioning. It's not long before Noire decides to transform into HDD form, only her HDD form is her victory form.
Her Victory form consists of a grey bathing suit with black on the sides, as well as in the middle. There is also the occasional red on the suit as well as a circle with a bit of green at the top, a bit of pink at the right, a bit of blue at the bottom and a bit of red at the left. I like how that resembles the buttons of the PlayStation controller, nice, very nice. I also like how her top reveals a lot of her beautiful cleavage, which is actually the middle of it as the well as the top part. Her top also connects to some neck piece that covers the very upper part of her chest, and a bit of her shoulders on each side.
This is mostly grey with the occasional black and red at different specific places. For footwear she wears very tall grey boots that reach her upper thighs and really hug the part of her legs that it covers. They also consist of black patterns with the occasional red as well. Her boots are rather characteristic as they consist of circular futuristic anklets, with a red circle on each side along with high heels and toes that point upwards. For arm wear she wears black and grey shoulder length gloves, with circular futuristic bracelets that go over her upper arms, as well as her wrists which are even chunkier, and consist of a circle attached to it, as well as another piece attached to that. The wrist bracelets have some sort of futuristic patterns on as well.
She looks absolutely stunning in that form, and she resembles the first PlayStation a lot in that outfit with the colour scheme of her suit and hair, which makes me appreciate her fabulous outfit that compliments her look so much, even more.
While her appearance is the same and while her original could float in the air, she has rockets that come out of her back enabling her to float. She then activates some large chain saws from her arms; she must be cosplaying as Alisa Bosconovitch from Tekken to some extent if memory serves correctly. I say this as it does make me think of her after seeing this cosplay before me. It reminds me of how I could customise Alisa to look like Black Heart from Victory, it's nice how significant numbers of the CPUs and the Tekken characters have some similarities in their appearance.
"Wow your jetpack and saws are authentic, it's as if they come from your body like Alisa does." I remark in amazement, my jaw wide opened as I've never seen that before, and it's authentic and fantastic.
"Thank you, although the jetpack is merely cosmetic. I mean the jetpack only enables me to float but not fly, and as for the saws they are actually real chainsaws but they can't hurt anything that's friendly." Noire replies appreciating my compliment, and her body language expresses much gratitude, and she smiles a lot with me while flirting with me as well.
While she's floating in the air with her saws out, we have our photos taken and are filmed as we do different poses, including one where she hovers behind me while putting her arms over my chest, while the saws whir above my body not touching it at all, emphasising how harmless they are to me. She also puts her head on top of mine smiling in such a friendly way as though she's about to giggle. That was a great fun pose, in fact there's also one way she does this to Blanc and another, to the both of us. They're all great and fun, and they'll be countless upon countless photos and footage of this and all the other cosplays which I have no doubt both us and our people will appreciate very much.
But after a while Noire's saws disappear, and so does her jet pack causing her to gently drop back to the floor. She then transforms back to her other form, and so while I put my jacket back on, Noire and Blanc and the panda then leave after smiling and curtseying to get changed again. I am amazed with how realistic and authentic they look in those costumes, very impressive indeed. It's good to know how much of her passion as well as her own money is spent on these fabulous costumes, that are very numerous, very top quality and have much variety and realism, and are put to excellent use, using them to create joy in looking at them, employment in designing and making them and wealth in buying them, which can be invested in the economy.

They then return again, both of them are in their human forms. Although this time around they're dressed as characters associated with our consoles in fact what can be considered to be mascots of the respective console. I say this as Noire is dressed as Lara Croft; she keeps her black pigtails, although she wears a light green top which shows her very attractive cleavage, as well as tight brown shorts. She also wears brown boots, sunglasses and fingerless gloves, as well as carrying a Berretta in each hand and having holsters by her thighs. Blanc wears a false moustache and wears a red hat with M on it, as well as a blue dungaree with gold buttons, brown shoes, a red long sleeved t shirt and white gloves; she also carries a large hammer with two hands and has a big grin on her face.
Noire then gets out some Lucozade and takes a good drink while Blanc cheers. They do different poses as Noire holds her guns and has her arms in different positions, even firing them at the exact time her photo is taken so the effect is taken. Meanwhile Blanc holds her hammer in different ways, including swinging it so that effect can also be taken, as well as grabbing a gold star that hovers above her, and expresses much excitement and joy when she has it in her hands.
I found it to be iconic for them, the personifications of the consoles even if they're my friends and I knew them for most or all my life depending on the CPU, to dress as characters strongly associated with the consoles they represent, to the extent that they would likely be in a game featuring famous mascots of the consoles. Yeah representation, there never was much of that in the series, it's was just Planeptune CPUs and makers mostly, how yuck. At least it's not the case here. Here it is fair, and we will make it fair throughout the world.
After which they then head back to get changed again, as we wonder what the next costume will be, whether it will be in a similar area or go for something entirely different.
Note: Readers please listen to Black Ops 2 Desert ride while reading this.
I hear a distinct snap of the fingers and before I know it, distinctive music is being played in the background. I also notice the area we're in has changed quite dramatically, as the walls are now made of marble and are covered in distinctive art work of the time period, which shows Noire as a ruler of the ancient world, though she is dressed very distinctly from that era, but she looks ever so gorgeous and beautiful.
On the floor that's now covered in sand, I notice what appears to be a large pool of fresh milk, full of leaves and flowers rising up to the floor. There are also palm trees and one armed settees that are of the period, that are fabulously decorated with gold and have plenty of silk cushions on them, and the seat itself is covered in fur. All the seats face us and are really close to the pool. There are also large pots that are placed around this area that are highly decorated in the art of the period, with some depicting Noire as a mighty attractive fair ruler. I'm amazed with how the wall changed like that, I'm keen to ask my CPU about this.
As well as the sights and sounds, I even smell something distinctive here. It smells of perfume, I've never smelt it before and it's different to the one that Noire usually wears but it smells really lovely. It's difficult to describe but it smells so fresh and it's really nice, and I think this is a perfume of the time and place that this theme depicts. I wouldn't be surprised if my CPU is wearing this very perfume considering who she's cosplaying right now.
As the music plays I then see Noire, Blanc and Uni smiling and playfully acting the roles they are, though they're carried by our troops dressed in servants clothing consisting of sandals, with ancient headdresses of this theme. There's also some more of them with large fans made of large white feathers, as well as others that carry different fruit in large quantities that are fresh such as grapes and pomegranates, along with golden goblets and jugs of wine.
There are even a group that carry different Pokémon who I recognise after seeing them to be Arboks, Espeons and Persians. The former is a purple cobra with black markings, and the latter two are cats with Espeon being a white blue cat with black eyes and what appears to be a ruby on its forehead, and Persian is a white cat with sharp claws and red eyes and whiskers along with a curly tail. I notice how all of the Pokémon wear some gold jewellery consisting of gold cuffs and bangles, at appropriate sizes around their tails and legs, along with necklaces on their necks. There are also groups of people who carry baths that are completely covered in gold, and carry lots of gold coins, gold rings, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold crowns and gold chains, and the baths also have golden covered taps and a golden shower hose.
After a while they then reach us and place the royal CPUs down on their respective chairs. It is then that I finally get to see what costumes they are wearing, and by goddess they look ever so amazing, Noire looks so awesome and her look just suits her perfectly. Noire's in her human form, and while her hair is black it is untied and very shiny, soft, long and thick and big consisting of significant volume all around. It's so long in fact that it reaches down to her feet. It also goes over her fringe, over her shoulders to the floor, and there is so much of it at the front and the back, with how thick and wide it is. And not only that it looks ever so beautiful, it's like a royal cape that's shiny.
In fact at the back it even curves outwards where the back of her chest is ensuring massive extensions sticking out on her hair. I can sense how proud she is of this costume just like her others, as she tries to look like a ruler of this land, and while she is, she smiles in a friendly manner in appreciation of our admiration of it.
Upon seeing the gold, the costume, the appearance and the theme including the architecture and artwork, it is then I look at her and recognise that her costume is similar to what Cleopatra wore from Rise and Fall Civilizations at War, yet at the same time it's different. Her costume consists of a black tight fitting silk dress which covering the torso and legs completely is see through everywhere, except for a section over her cleavage which looks like a large black bra, along with underwear in which for the both of them there is gold trimming and black pattern of the era and place, and attached to the fabric are gold tassels encircling the underwear and bra completely.
She also has large gold gorgerines in a feather shape over her chest, and she's wearing gold shoulder pads with a feathery design. On top of her black pants that is covered with gold and black trimming, there is a gold strap on top like a belt. At the centre of the belt is the Lastation logo on it which is of a significant size.
She's covered with plenty of gold jewellery too, as she wears golden high stilettos along with gold shin guards that reach up to her knees. She also wears gold thigh guards which have long flexible thick gold chains connected to the shin guards. Along with this there are golden snake arm bands that coil around her upper arms several times with gold chains that are long, thick and flexible which connect to her gold arm braces covering the lower arms. Attached to them is a golden cape with golden feathers all over it at the back and at the front, in which the cape connects to her necklace at the back, and is ever so big. In fact when the arms stretch they look like wings, which go to the floor
She also wears some fancy gold panjas covering both of her hands and fingers a lot, along with a necklace that is large. It has lots of black and gold jewels on it which cover her neck and above her breasts in a semi-circular shape, along with there being another one that goes around the back of her neck and upper back.
Finally she's wearing a golden headdress which goes around her head, her face like her hair. It even covers her fringe, and goes up high like a tiara, in fact higher than that like the crowns they would have worn back then. Furthermore the headdress has multiple jewels on it in black, green, pink, blue and red in which the latter four are positioned in the related order of top, right, bottom and left like a PlayStation controller. The headdress also has gold chains covering the back of her head that are as long as her own black hair. In fact it looks as though she's wearing a wig of gold thick chains which look really nice. All the gold is ever so shiny reflecting the light, and the body oil on her body is shiny as well, even more so.
She wears make up as well which consists of black fingernails and toe nails, as well as black eye shadow and kohl in the style of the period and location. Which actually looks very nice and compliments her look a lot. Uni's costume is similar if not identical to Noire's own, in fact I can only tell the difference between them both due to my HUD, as well as their faces along with the build and height of them two.
To finish of the look they both wear what appears to be some large long black silk cape with gold feathered lining, as well as the Lastation logo consisting entirely of gold feathers as well. These capes are worn on top of the golden ones.
The attire suits them both right down to a tee as they look extremely beautiful, but it also suits them as they consider themselves royalty, and they're dressed as royalty, in fact they're dressed as rulers. Plus which I remember Cleopatra was known for her black hair along with Noire.
Blanc meanwhile is dressed like a geisha girl. She wears specific white face make up in which I am unsure of the name, along with red lipstick, red eyeshadow and red nail varnish. Her short brown hair is styled distinctively such that it goes with who she's cosplay. Her hair has two sides stick out until it curves to the back, and it's pulled in the back as the front. Not only that but she has plenty of flowers on it at specific places.
For her clothing she wears a red silky dress resembling something of the period, though while it covers her arms and torso, it does not cover her legs. With that said they are covered by very long white socks, and she wears red geta sandals. To finish off she carries a fan in her hand with the Wii logo in font of the era, and this is coloured in red with black for the word. She waves the fan constantly with much enthusiasm, as she smiles showing grace and sophistication while grinning with joy.
I notice how's Blanc's costume really suits her as well. It reminds me somewhat of Lowee in Victory in how it was portrayed, as well as what it was like for them back then. I can tell how much she enjoys this costume and how much fun she's having, and how pleased she is to join them.
The three of them pose lying on their couches as we take photos of them and film them, at first doing the usual ones to signify their roles as royals, but then being different in which they are more jokey. The poses they have done cover different positions of different parts of the body, with different props to make it more interesting. Some of their photos consist of them eating food and drink provided by their "servants", as well as holding or even stroking their Pokémon. There are other photos and footage where the "servants" carry them into the baths, only for them to "wash" them with sponges and with the gold coins, and they turn the shower on and shower them only for it to be gold coins as well which was a magnificent cool sight.
This cosplay is so much fun as well just like the others before, and the others that will come. We all enjoy doing this, as the seemingly endless photos and footage taken while in their super cool costumes by the milk pool, are really flawless to say the least. I know the people will like them as much as us. I like their costumes a lot, and it's an interesting era even if I can't remember what it was even if I knew it to be interesting.
"You look absolutely perfect guys. I think you do a great cosplay of Cleopatra Noire, you look like a very attractive version of her. Your set is impressive too. How did you do it?" I ask her with much curiosity, as I never cease to be amazed with her, and all of her attributes, along with this cosplay in which she's perfect for it. I really do enjoy every second of it, and appreciate how long the time feels.
She chuckles in quite the flirting manner while smiling a lot in response, enthusiastic to tell me.
"Thank you so much for your compliment Black, it's wonderful to know how much you and the people like this stuff, though I always knew it to be the case. I liked the themes as well as the idea of dressing up like her, and I'm glad you're impressed with this. As for the set, well the walls are actually covered in nanobots that have the ability to alter the wall's appearance in different ways, enabling the background to change with ease.
I'm working on methods to supply these Nano bots to all the people, so that they're able to decorate their rooms into anything they like, as well as providing different styles for the nanobots to perform very quickly. I'm even trying to get this to work on furniture and other objects that could be decorated for different purposes as well, even the exteriors of buildings as well so that it can be changed for all sorts of occasions.
As for the furniture? We have silent machinery behind the floor that is programmed to provide the appropriate furniture, for each theme I choose, and to so in a matter of seconds. And as for the milk bath they contain Nano bots that are capable of preserving the milk, so it never goes off and it never smells. In fact the milk bath lasts forever, even the flowers and leaves are preserved thanks to them, and ensure that they always appear fresh in every metric that defines it.
The background has more than just these 2 lovely themes, I'll show you the others I have when I cosplay as appropriate." Noire speaks with much pride in all manners of expression, while explaining this to me. She sounds rather posh as well as if she is the queen herself. Then again she already is the goddess queen, in fact I'd says she's the goddess empress, and an excellent benevolent one at that.
"Wow that's very useful, being able to alter the appearance of interiors at an instantaneous sort of time . That's very cool and amazing. I can imagine your people loving the idea of being able to change it at that speed." I speak with much amazement and wonder. It is certainly impressive technology and very useful piece of technology to have.
"Oh yeah, it would save time decorating, reduce cost with providing materials, and it will be of top quality due to the quality of the nanobots and the science being the designs. It's just a case of programming them to provide new themes and designs. It would also mean I can change the look at the snap of a finger after programming it which is easy to learn. Because if I'm honest I like all sorts of styles, and it would be nice to be able to have them all at my fingers and to change them whatever the mood I'm in, and would love for the people to have it." She speaks with further pride as well as passion, as she speaks of her desires, and noble dreams for all to appreciate.
"Indeed, this set is very authentic Noire as if we're actually there and it's not just the look that does it but the sounds and smells really help it's realism. Not only that but these costumes are amazing and are ever so comfortable to wear. In fact these costumes actually remind me of a story that I've come up with back in Lowee, during the 6th generation. Which interestingly enough involve these very costumes." Blanc says speaking with much excitement and happiness in her voice.
As she tell us the story I feel as though I'm physically transported there. The place I'm transported to is magnificent, as I'm in what I believe to be a courtyard. The courtyard is made of big blocks of marble, and consists of a magnificent fountain of large size and of multiple tiers. In the middle is a statue of Noire in her Cleopatra costume looking regal while friendly. We're surrounded by huge palaces highly decorated in gold with artwork symbolising the rulers of this place: Noire and Uni and the palaces stand really tall, and they look fantastic.
There's also plenty of trees and bushes all over the place including palm trees and bushes with large leaves. The trees and bushes are full of various fruits, as well as water coming out of the buildings from various holes which are nicely decorated. Upon seeing this marvel, they remind me a bit of Civilization 4's version of the Hanging Gardens which I remember just now. The place looks absolutely stunning and wonderful, just like from a video game and it looks so realistic too and flawless.
It's perfect and stunning as well as breath taking beyond question, as if it's brand new and is truly fit for Noire as a ruler of this place. And to top it off, it's a nice sunny cloudless day. Wow just wow. I see Noire and Uni standing there in the same Cleopatra costumes as before, looking so great, sophisticated and smiling together. They appear so welcoming as well.
There are also plenty of soldiers that wear the appropriate attire, consisting of plenty of armour that's gold, as well as wearing our colours with pride, and even have the logo of our nation on those colours. There are plenty of talented dancers, musicians and some people with large feather fans, all dressed similar to us wearing our colours. All of them happy to be here, and appreciate the opportunity of helping us to rule.
It's quite interesting to be in a different time period, but it's nice how everything seems so lovely and idealistic considering the buildings being grand and new. While the people along with having excellent morale, appear completely healthy and even look like they've worked out a lot. It's very picturesque and peaceful.
Note: Readers please listen to 300 Submission soundtrack while reading this bit:
We then see a group of people approach us dressed in purple. Some are soldiers who wear what looks like a small purple skirt of the period and sandals, carrying a short sword and a rectangular purple shield with distinctive gold pattern around a centre which looks like half a sphere on top. While a few are just wearing purple togas carrying a paper scroll.
Somehow my gut tells me that they're bad news, not least of how it reminds me of what has happened in history from where I came from, but what I am unsure, and this because of my amnesia which is quite tragic.
One of them who I recognise is Plutia in her human form, but she's wearing a purple toga and looks smug and confident, thinking that whatever she intends to do, she can succeed.
I guess this makes the situation worse, but I shouldn't worry as I should be excited being as this is Blanc's story and knowing her, Plutia will be owned in some way that's really entertaining for all of us.
It is now Noire speaks to her, I look forward to hearing what she has to say.
"Ahh a Plansia messenger. Before you speak Plutie, know that in Larsta everyone, even a goddess's messenger is held accountable for the words of their voice. Now what message do you bring?" Noire asks politely but makes it clear in tone and in body language she is not be messed with.
Plutia bows as she opens her arms out, as if it's their custom.
"Earth and water." Plutia bows sounding casual and confident.
"You rode all the way from Plansia, for earth and water?" Noire asks with a hint of shock in her voice, her body language suggests surprise for such daring to effectively demand such a request.
"Do not be dumb or cocky Plutie, you can afford neither in Larsta." Uni adds sounding disgusted with the messenger, warning her not to mess with the leaders here.
"What makes this person think she can speak among us?" Plutia asks sounding quite disgusted, and irritated with the CPU Candidate.
"Because everyone is equal in Larsta." Uni replies with a hint of aggression, warning her even more about what Plutia is saying.
"Let us walk to cool our tongues." Noire calmly suggests trying to break the tension.
We all walk together as we see more of the lovely palaces and buildings with the nice gold artwork on them. Some may even be temples as they're full of more statues of Noire in her outfit posing in different ways as she looks regal while attractive and benevolent. They all look incredibly breath taking, as they're covered in gold that shine so brightly in the clear day. There's even more palm trees nearby full of various tropical fruit.
"If you value your lives over your complete humiliation, embarrassment and annihilation, listen carefully Lady Black Heart. Neptune conquers and controls everything she rests her eyes upon, she leads an army so massive, it makes the ground rumble with their march. So huuuuuuuge they drink the rivers dry as a bone.
All the goddess queen of the seas Neptune requires is this: a token of submission and slight humiliation to the will of Neptune, yep just submission and for you to be our pet." Plutia explains sounding quite smug about what she said smiling with confidence as well, and her tone has a hint of menace in it.
We all stop walking as we reach another courtyard, in which in the middle is a large hole that appears to be really deep. Hmmm that's a distinctive feature.
"Submission, and a life time of being mocked by Neptune. Now that's a problem, there's reason to believe that the Lowthenians have already turned you down, who we have a lot of respect for. And of course Larstans have their reputation to consider." Noire replies calmly but also with a hint of menace as if to warn her off.
"Choose your next words carefully Lady Black Heart, they may be your last as queen." Plutia warns her with more aggression than before, as she frowns a lot in her sentence.
It becomes windy a bit now, as Noire thinks a lot about what Plutia has said. She looks around at all the people there, her empire as she replays Plutia's phrase of earth and water in her head. It does disgust me that Neptune would wish to conquer and enslave us. Mind you that's what she pretty much did in the series, she just treated my CPU so terribly, and it's almost as if she wants Noire to be on her knees, where she thinks Noire belongs. I find it despicable, but I can at least relax in knowing that Neptune would probably not get her way here and if anything suffer deeply for desiring such a thing.
Suddenly Noire with a determined glance quickly un-holsters her sword and threatens Plutia with it, who actually has her back to the hole now. You go Noire, do what needs to be done. Our troops also draw their swords threatening the Plansian people too, as the Plansians back to the pit in fear, their hands trying to plead with them.
Plutia is now scared as the sword is close to her neck, any closer and it would cut sharply.
"Boooooo, you've gone mad, you're a mad girl." Plutia weeps, as she begs for her life, frustrated with how these events have gone.
"You bring the titles and heads of conquered goddesses to my city steps. You insult my sis, you threaten my people with slavery, humiliation, embarrassment and death. Oh I have chosen my words carefully Plutie, perhaps you should have done the same." Noire says with anger in her voice, her sword firmly placed by the throat of Plutia.
"This is boohoo, this is madness!" Plutia protests loudly, still pleading for her life.
"Madness? THIS IS LARSTA!" Noire yells with rage.
She kicks Plutia really hard into the pit, causing her to fall backwards into what appears to be the endless hole as her face looks in horror and shock. Noire then holsters her sword walking away from the pit, as our troops stab the Plansians down. Some of them even fall into the holes themselves out of fear and desperation, there is a lot of screams from them as they die by the fall, or die by our swords.
As Blanc tells the story even more I am transported to another place indicating that significant time has passed.
We are now in what appears to be inside a cave full of rocks. We still have the same attire on, and we are with some of our troops who are prepared and determined to win. I have reason to believe there are 300 of us all with swords, spears and huge gold shiny shields with patterns of our goddess on them. I believe that we are here to repel the Plansian invasion of Larsta. It's interesting as not only do I witness the story, I feel as though I'm in the story with them. To be defending with so little troops that are well armed, against an enemy that relies on superior numbers. It reminded me of my first battle here, and how we've shown that we value quality over quantity because it's way more valuable.
Soon the ground shakes rather vigorously, though I get the feeling that it's nothing to get too concerned about.
"Earthquake?" Uni asks without a hint of concern, but merely curios.
"No Uni, battle formations." Noire replies calmly and with a hint of rallying in her voice.
We then form a phalanx formation, blocking the entrance to the cave completely as we see a huge army of Plansian troops. They're all wearing purple miniskirts of the period carrying rectangular shields, none of them are wearing armour unlike us which is all gold. Some of them carry swords, while others carry spears though they're not as long as ours. Noire then does a rallying speech to keep our morale at an all- time high.
"This is where we hold them. This is where we fight them! This is where they die!" Noire yells with determination, rallying the troops.
Our troops chant in agreement and lift their shields as well quickly before moving them into position.
We wait for them to get into position, charging along as Noire says more to inspire us further and to maintain our all-time high morale.
"Remember this day guys for it will be ours for all time. Where we have shown them what happens, when they see us as their slaves!" Noire continues with the same tone and even showing more passion.
Our troops chant in agreement again and with even more enthusiasm.
When they do get in position a soldier on a horse comes out, she's actually Rei Rights, but she's wearing a purple toga and tries to look menacing.
"Larstans! Lay down your weapons!" Rei orders loudly and with aggression, demanding we do what she says.
Some time passes but suddenly a spear knocks her off her horse, killing her instantly as it goes through her heart, she doesn't even see it until it's too late, and she dies with a completely stunned look on her face.
"Plansian, come and get them!" Noire yells with a strong determined look on her face, as we have our spears out, and form a wall of shields like a phalanx formation. It looks impregnable to a T.
The Plansians then charge rushing as fast as they can, and yelling to motivate them and try and scare us.
"Hold!" Uni yells loudly and with encouragement.
"Give them nothing, but take from them everything!" Noire yells also in encouragement, and with much passion and pride.
I like her speech and her rallying, she sounds so badass and confident, and the soldiers appreciate.
"Stay!" Uni yells in a similar tone to Noire, delivering the same effect.
Strangely enough, they become blind due to our gold shields being very shiny, due to the strong sun today that has no clouds surrounding it. Some of them stop moving as a result but get knocked over and trampled on repeatedly. Others just charge into our spears to try and avoid getting trampled. The thing is, this results in the enemy getting stabbed into the heart, due to them not being able to see the sharp spears that stick out. Eventually they all pile onto our shields, as we hold the line to the best of our ability.
They try really hard breaking through our shield wall with their huge overwhelming numbers, but it's of no use. In fact we manage to push them away and stab them with our spears again and again, and just one stab in the correct area, is another to kill them. I have no problem as I'm able to withstand the push from the enemy, no problem at all as we're all very good fighters highly trained in this. We're able to hold the line very well, as well as being able to stab them with the spear in unison, so that we're never open to the enemy.
We manage to repeat this process many times killing lots and lots of them, doing significant damage to their numbers. They have nowhere to go being as they have us at the front, and lots of them at the back. They're really crushed making them easy picking for us, as we're able to massacre them. We also chant no prisoners and no mercy as we kill lots and lots of their soldiers, without any of ours dying. We march forward in formation as they move towards us. Soon we break formation as some of them retreat, and they're not that many left after our process that steadily but surely works wonders for us.
Me, Noire and Uni then end up engaging them one at a time, just like the rest of us do. As one by one we stab them with our weapons, while we occasionally bash them in their heads with our shields which knocks them down or even out. Eventually we throw our spears at them, and then un-holster our swords as we use our swords and shields to kill them, stabbing those that we knocked over who survive the clash.
Eventually the Plansians have their backs to a cliff and they look increasingly nervous, their confidence has disappeared.
"It looks like the Plansians are thirsty." Uni says loudly and casually.
"Well then let's give them something to drink!" Noire yells with pride and passion along with enthusiasm.
We are all in formation again as we march towards them, they try to retreat back, but in front is us and behind them is the sea. Eventually they fall backwards into the sea choosing that fate instead of our weaponry, as we move closer and closer to the cliffs, encouraging their expressions to show more and more doom.
It pleases us that we won that battle, and defeated all of the Plansians in that charge without a single Larstan casualty; unfortunately we then see thousands upon thousands of arrows which blot out the sun. We put our shields up high in response, forming a shell that covers us all completely like a shell that is resistant to weaponry like arrows.
The arrows never hit us, only our shields or the ground around them, as well as some of the Plansian soldiers lying down finishing them off. There are so many arrows so we spend some time in this position, laughing as none of the arrows hit us and we are fighting in the shade, pleased with how well we are doing and how our tactics is paying off.
Eventually the arrows stop and we get up smashing the arrows up with our spears and swords effortlessly.
As Blanc tells the story further, I'm then transported to another location immediately as we're eager to know what happens next, after what has happened so far.
This place appears to be the interior of a palace, that's full of stone pillars that look distinctive as well as mosaics on the floor. These mosaics consist of Neptune as ruler of the Plansian empire, trying to look triumphant and look like a ruler, even though I don't think that it works. There are also a few plants, as well as pillars that support busts of different rulers of the Plansians, and the occasional torch that does a poor job in lighting up this place.
In this place is Neptune who's in her human form wearing a purple toga, as well as olive leaves around her head that don't appear fresh at all. She also wears rings on every finger and a few bracelets, but they don't look anywhere near as nice as Noire's. In fact they're not even gold or silver. She's lying on a whole pile of slaves that are struggling to support her weight and could give up at any minute. The Plansian leader is currently drinking lots of wine from a goblet, as well as eating what appears to be some form of pudding. A few slaves are knelt next to her. I notice one of them having a burnt mark on their back. As a matter of fact they appear in quite the rough shape, as many of them are whipped rather badly. It makes me wonder if their purpose is to be chairs or tables for their goddess.
Eventually I see someone approach Neptune. This someone appears to be a hunchback. When the hunchback moves closer I realise it's actually Nepgear who's wearing a purple toga. She struggles to move due to the immense weight of her back, and it's even more of a struggle to bow before her older sister, as doing so causes her serious pain.
"So Nep Jr what news do you have for me while I slept, and ate my favourite pudding? Has Larsta agreed to surrender to us?" Neptune asks in a surprisingly friendly manner, though something tells me there's more to her tone, I get the feeling she intends something negative happens if she does not get the news she desires.
"Unfortunately your best friend has not returned, so we assumed they will fight. There has been a few battles, but the bad news is we have lost numerous troops without taking a single one of theirs." Nepgear reports calmly, despite the bad news, desperate not to show any fear considering the ramifications of the news.
"Oh that's such a shame, perhaps a friendly chat with Noire telling her I'm the main character will convince her to join me. I'm a generous goddess you know." Neptune speaks without a single care of the situation, just as I expect from her, or maybe she does care, just not in the way we'd like.
Why do I think what she said is a load of nonsense. Mind you she always speaks of nothing but nonsense. At least it's such a relief that she does manage to get held to account, even if she still walks free afterwards for some unknown reason, and now causes immense havoc.
"You know how all my life I've loved my bigger sister, even when you make me do everything for you. Even when you gave me this hunchback for me to wear, only to attach it to my body. Would you mind if I was to offer a few suggestions so that you can win?" The candidate speaks sounding rather positive with no hint of concealing her frustrations and despair with the situation she's in.
I do find myself questioning Nepgear as despite clearly being neglected, she still loves her sister, but then again it's a story and I do wonder about the Planeptune CPU Candidate in this world, whether she's a keen supporter of her older sister or not.
"What suggestions do you have?" Neptune says though clearly showing signs that she's not interested, and her tone is very dismissive of her, in fact irritated.
"Well first of all, I wish to serve you on the battlefield and I happen to have plans on building a big siege weapon, to destroy the enemy troops. All I ask is for you to let me borrow some of your money so I can build such a machine, I'll even pay it back plus plenty of interest, what do you say?" The young sister speaks sounding optimistic and smiling at her, even if I wonder if she knows what the actual answer will be.
"But I don't want you on the battlefield sis, it would make me cry to see you die. Tell you what, why don't you go and bake me a wonderful fabulously large cake for me made of my favourite pudding, as a celebration for Noire's surrender instead. OK see you later sis." Neptune speaks in a whinging tone. Her body language clearly shows she doesn't care for her sister at all, and if anything is dismissive and really irritated with her.
She motions with her hand for Nepgear to go. The hunchback bows to her master but as she leaves she ends up crying with frustration, and thoughts of anger and hatred race through her mind as she cautiously frowns significantly.
I do admit I feel a bit bad for her, though I've not been a fan of some of what she did by any means, she herself has been badly treated by Neptune her own sister. I can only begin to wonder what's going to happen to her now here as a result of that exchange of words.
After which as Blanc continues her story some more, I am now taken to another place.
Note: Please listen to 300 Xerxes' Tent while reading this:
This place appears to be of a different palace, it's similar to our set as it's full of gold walls that are completely decorated with artwork of Noire, as well as palm trees and a large milk bath. But along with large pots that are also nice decorated and are of an exquisite design, there is all sorts of carpets and rugs that cover every inch of the floor and have nice patterns on them. There are also lots of one armed chairs and there's even a good number of poster beds, that are decorated in gold and are full of sheets, quilts and pillows that are made of silk. The place is well lit with torches that are placed strategically as not to cause a fire hazard.
The place is full of people doing different things to relax and unwind, a group of them play musical instruments really well, including drums and different blowing instruments. Another group of them are in the pool bathing and swimming, while there are others that dance and lie on beds together talking about different things. The people there appear healthy and well off.
While the men wear black togas and bracers on their wrists along with sandals, the women wear plenty of gold all over their entire bodies as Noire does and it looks really nice. They even have different clothing like sashes, tops and shorts or even something that resembles underwear, but all of their clothing is black. Something tells me that this is Noire's own personal quarters, where she likes to spend time with some of her people, just like in Gameindsutri.
It is then I see Nepgear who wears the same clothing as she did earlier. I can tell she appreciates this place as she enjoys the music being played and she does feel more welcome than before. She then sees Uni approach her and they both smile and talk to each other, before becoming fast friends. After which she then leads Nepgear to Noire. Only for Noire to start speaking to her appreciating her presence.
"Your goddess was so cruel to shape you like this Purple Sis. Neptune was also, cruel to reject you…" Noire speaks in a friendly welcoming manner with a grin on her face as well.
As Noire talks, Nepgear finds herself appreciating how more and more of the people pay attention to her, and wish to offer her some help, or at least welcome her here. There's even a few males who she's attracted to. She even starts smiling a lot more even chuckling quite a bit, taken back by all this appreciation as she's really grateful for it.
"But I am benevolent. Everything you could ever want. Every appreciation you could ever imagine. All the respect that your fellow Plansians and your false goddess have denied you. I will grant you, for I am benevolent." My CPU speaks with much pride in her voice and smiles a lot too.
By this point all the other people surround Nepgear with friendly faces, eager to show her around and to welcome her as one of their own, as well as to make sure that she is alright and happy. The musicians even play music that she likes with much enthusiasm.
Meanwhile Noire lifts her arms out, posing looking magnificent in her costume and all that gold she wears. She looks just like a goddess empress because she is one and a very benevolent friendly one at that.
"Embrace me as your new queen as your new goddess." She speaks quite loudly and proudly while maintaining her friendliness.
She then moves closer to Nepgear only for the youngster to bow down to her new goddess, her new empress with much enthusiasm in her actions.
"Yes." Nepgear speaks with certainty and confidence in her voice.
My CPU then motions for Nepgear to stand up in a friendly manner.
"Lead me to Neptune, so that I may meet her, so I can end her accursed life. And your happiness will be endless." Noire speaks with passion and sounds quite like a badass in her tone. No doubt pleased to have such a significant member defect to her.
I have to be honest I am unsure what to make of this, considering how I'm unsure of Nepgear due to her actions both in the series and here, but I do wonder whether she's more redeemable than Neptune in part considering the series, and what I have seen of her in the flashbacks and the confrontations. Could she defect to us here, or is it just a dream and perhaps she may be truck with her older sister's ideas. No doubt Blanc has similar thoughts regarding this hence the story, and it would be symbolic if this were to happen.
"Yes, I want it all! Respect, friends, the means to let me help you. And two more things I want a new uniform, as well as a means for this hunchback to be removed." Nepgear speaks with much enthusiasm, eager to join as she speaks loudly and with pride.
"It will be my pleasure. Hopefully you will find me to be a very generous goddess. Unlike the cruel Purple Heart who demanded that you bow and take her nonsense. I require you only that you stand with us." Noire replies maintaining her tone of passion and joy.
After which Nepgear smiles and gives her a salute, only for Noire with a huge smile on her face to open her arms out gesturing for Nepgear to give her a hug. The former Plansian rushes towards her and gives her a long hug. Noire then hugs Nepgear in a caring manner and amazingly Nepgear's hunch back falls off, making her smile greatly even more before being supported in Noire's arms.
"Thank you so much Lady Black Heart." Nepgear speaks in a rather happy tone, even more appreciative than before considering how much that that act meant to her.
"Please call me Noire. We will take care of you and your sister." Noire reassures her in a caring kind voice.
After seeing this happen in Blanc's story, it does make me wonder more and more if Nepgear will ever defect to us in Gameindustri, assuming she would be happy too, or is it that she's completely under Neptune's watchful eye? She'd be wise to do so if she wishes, and it makes me wonder whether she wishes she could, and how much thought does she have about this regardless of the circumstances? After seeing her defect it makes me wonder what will happen next in Blanc's story, as her story takes us to another location.
