He has someone measure the crewmember and shout out his measurements. He looks mortified enough to blush, even through his unkempt stubble.

You quickly write it all down.

“So, just so we’re clear on the rules, you’ll get him tonight, I’ll get him tomorrow morning, and tomorrow evening, we’ll have him do a little runway show on the dock.”

“Who’s going to judge?”

“Ah, yes. Well I’ll select a judge, you can select a judge, and for the third, it has to be someone we both agree on. Perhaps someone from the local temple.” He emphasises the word local, while eyeing Keira. He doesn’t seem to trust her impartiality. The captain then flicks his fingers to summon his first mate, a tough looking older lady with greying hair. The sun and waves and that permanent scowl has done a number on her skin. “Naturally, you’ll be my choice.”

She spits. “It’s a real honor to waste time on indulging, captain.”

“You should be glad. Since you’re judging, I won’t ask you to help.“ He laughs, then turns to you. “As you can see, she might not choose to vote blindly in my favor. Who are you going to choose?”

Keira slithers her way through the group to your side. She’d be the obvious choice, but if she’s judging, you don’t think she can really help you out. And you’ll have to find a judge you both can agree on after this.

>Pick Keira
>You’ll pick someone else and bring them tomorrow

>>1372488

If she votes for us, she opens herself up for exploitation

“I’ll bring someone tomorrow.” You tell him. You’re thinking of either Jane or Valerie, or maybe someone else, but you’re not sure.

“Alright. Whoever they are, I’m sure they won’t be as slavishly desperate for your attention as this one.” He waves to Keira.

“I am not!” She protests. “I mean, Herb is nice and all, b-”

He laughs again. “You’ll have to forgive me, young priestess. It’s not often I get a chance to tease someone from your temple. I assure you, I have just as much respect for you as the many religions of the many ports I’ve been to.”

She gives a disarming smile. “Oh! That’s okay. It’s nice for someone to treat me like...wait, what do you mean by that?”

He ignores her question to some chuckles and some slight worry or disgruntlement from the crowd. It’s a mixed reaction that’s mostly not in favor of his jib, but he seems charming enough to get away with it.

“Now here’s the tricky part. We both have to agree to the third judge.” He strokes his chin and leans on one knee. He glances over to the bartender. “Hey, old salt!”

“I’m younger than ya.”

“How would you like to judge a contest?”

Keira interrupts. “You come here all the time. How do we know he’s not on your side?”

The bartender, overhearing this, puts down the mug he’s cleaning. “Well, he always pays his tab.” He considers. “But it’s always months late and he pays half of it with random junk. I could go either way.”

The crowd cheers and laughs some more. It’s an infectious roar.

I'm assuming we can have Valerie assist us in this competition if we pick Jane as a judge instead of her. If we pick Val then she can't help us.

“Hmph, really? Okay then. That was easy. We’re all set.” He grabs the crewman by the arm, the pushes him your way. ”He’s yours for the night. Be gentle.” He laughs again. “Alright boys, one more round and we’re done. Don’t worry though, we’ll celebrate hard tomorrow!”

He and his cohorts start finishing their drinks. He takes you aside one more time. “You’ve got some guts, Herb. That’s the only reason this is happening. But don’t think I’ll go easy on you.” He pats you on the shoulder. “Either way, no hard feelings, eh?” He whips himself up straight, and two flares burst from his hands in a shocking display. “It’s all about presentation!”

With that, he starts gathering his people up, minus his one crewman, and leaving. Presumably, to his ship.

Polu went to his ship to look for the amulet!

so if Polu gets it, should we still go through with the challenge as a sort of gentlemanly thing to do?

give him a chance, but instead of us trying to win the amulet from him, now he has to beat us for it? Doesn't really change much but it's like a pride thing I guess.

“Wait! Can you tell me about our volunteer?”

“I’m right here. You can ask me.” The crewman says in a quiet and unassertive voice. Nobody seems to acknowledge him.

Captain Pahoa raises an eyebrow. “Tell you what? You can see him, can’t you?” The Captain smacks the crewmembers belly with the back of his hand. “I can tell you he’s got a big mouth.” He’s referring to him telling you about Taipai. He gets up and sighs. “Ensign Iaho, a man who can only tie a good bowline and maybe drink more than anyone else.”

“Captain...”

“Oh come on. Get a sense of humor about yourself and you won’t get picked on so much. That, or turn that gut into muscle.” He taps the gut again. “Tomorrow, I’ll make you look fabulous, so cheer up. You’re killing the mood.”

“Yes captain!” He gives a sloppy salute.

Captain Pohoa, despite giving the order for everyone to get ready to leave, spends some more time hanging out with you. Sometimes he pinches your cheeks or otherwise teases you. He seems to keep his eyes and attention on you for a long time before regretfully having to leave. You think you gave Polu a good amount of extra time. Keira winks and pokes her pokedex.

After that, the captain leaves. You, Ensign Iaho, and Keira are alone in the bar.

“So, you want to confirm those measurements or something else?” He doesn’t really look like he knows what to do.

half of looking good is having confidence in yourself, let's get to know him and make him more confident and we should be able to win this no problem.

Let's also get to know his taste a bit, if we get him in an outfit he hates then he might not make it look good because he's not into it. We'll have to work it out with him specifically in mind, not just what we think looks good

“Want to grab some coffee and chat? I want to learn all about you.”

He gives you a funny look. “You want to get to know me?”

“Uh huh! Fashion comes from within. I can’t bring out your inner shine without getting to know you.”

“Uhh, sure. Captain said to follow you for the evening. I think he just wanted to get rid of me, though.”

You pat him on the back, and you and Keira take him out to an all night coffee shop. It’s an off brand knockoff of a popular coffee franchise back home. Still, this part of town is a little less sketchy.

Polu meets up with you, and reports that he wasn’t able to find anything. As in, the entire ship is empty. He keeps his voice down when telling you that so that Iaho doesn’t hear..

You talk with Iaho for awhile. At first he’s wary and shy, but after a good cup of joe and a box of donuts, he really loosens up. He tells you all about his childhood on Neaka island. He was the youngest child with two older sisters. His favorite pokemon is Solrock because of how it shines like the sun. He admires a singer that you’ve never heard of, but he sounds a lot like that guy from the mainland that always has strange sunglasses and shiny suits on the piano. But he also wants to be more authoritative and project more confidence. He feels like he isn’t tough or intimidating enough.

“We’ll make you something really handsome. That will be the main focus. But with a nice Solrock, professional twist.

“Well, alright. If you can manage that, it sounds great. Just, do me a favor and don’t make me look stupid, okay?”

“Of course!” You assure him. And for the first time, you see him give a genuine smile. It looks pretty good on him, too. “Here, let me draw some sketches and get your thoughts. We’ll have a gold and black trim maybe. I want to get my friend Val to help to-”

He stops you. “Don’t show me. The captain is going to ask. I can’t report what I didn’t see.” He gets up and stretches. “Thanks Herb. Keira.” He gives a bow. “You two be careful on your way home. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Polu yawns. “What material are you going to use? I bet we could find some of that glittery stuff I saw at the market. It might be expensive, though.”

“I can help sew.” Keira volunteers. “We do that a lot. Any pattern you need, just show me a picture.”

You all arrive back at the ship. It’s been a long night. Valerie, Hana, and Laki were staying up waiting. Laki puts you and Polu in a headlock for staying out so late in such a dangerous area. She lets you go to hear all about your day though, finding it fascinating. That is, until she yawns. She leaves to go sleep.

Polu crashes on the couch and Keira vanishes somewhere to sleep. Valerie is surprisingly eager and alert. She invites you into her room to talk about it some more so as not to keep everyone up.

“Can I come?” Hana asks?

“Of course! You’re always welcome in my bedroom.” Valerie tells her. Hana stiffens up for some reason.

The three of you sit down to discuss ideas. Hana doesn’t really have much to contribute and falls asleep fairly quickly despite her efforts. You and Valerie conspire in hushed voices and go over a lot of design drafts.

Valerie yawns. “I guess now we just need to get it together, and then figure out how to present it.”

“How to present it?”

“Yeah.” She lays down on her bed next to Hana. “If it’s anything like a contest, you need to do a lot of flair and backgrounds stuff.”

Huh. You didn’t put much thought into that. You remember the captain talking about presentation though. He won’t be a slouch there.

If you’re designing a blue and orange suit with a bit of a shine to it, how can you help present it?

>>1373590
That's one thing the dark jacket is for, sweat won't show up so easily on darker fabrics. He's a big guy. Even if he's an islander, he's likely going to sweat regardless.

I'm hoping we've set ourselves up for success by giving him a confidence I'm not expecting Pahoa to instill.

>Have your pokemon use lots of exploding moves behind him. Grab everyone’s attention

These aren't mutually exclusive, so long as the explosions punctuate the music instead of drowning it.

Was Gobble hinting at an actual artist or can I hope that he picks shiny teeth as the song?

You yawn and lay down. Just for a minute. “We can play a song he likes.”

“Good idea.” Valerie mumbles into her pillow. “There’s a song Mudkip really likes. I should use that next time.”

“And if we use Sunny Day, it’ll really make him shine.”

“That’s,” she yawns again, “also a good idea.” She seems to zone out.

“Val?”

No response.

You think it’s time for you to get up and leave. But as you move, you notice a strong hand keeping you there. “Hana? Your hand is on my...umm.” You try to scooch away, but the grip tightens. With no response from her, you figure you’ll just wait until she adjusts. You can stay up until then.

You wake up the next morning having failed to keep awake for even a minute. Valerie rests her head on your chest, and Hana on your lap. Gobble somehow managed to make himself into your pillow.

Valerie wakes up and brushes herself off. “Oh gosh.” She adjusts her hair. “It’s always like this in the morning.” She rushes off to fix it up in the attached bathroom. You don’t remember her being that self-conscious about it last time, but you guess you were both distracted.

Hana is still asleep. Oh boy, her face being on your lap like that is getting really awkward, considering the other night.

“Hana?” You gently nudge her.

Nothing.

“Hana. Wake up.”

She doesn’t wake up. She instead snuggles right into it. Oh jeez, her face is warm even through the clothes. Bella gives her a hard poke, which does the job.

“Bella!” You think she was a bit harder than she needed to be. Bella looks apologetic, but she makes a rude gesture to Hana when she thinks you’re not looking.

“Oh. Oh!” Hana realizes the situation as she wakes up and pats around her head. She slowly pushes herself up and faces you, then slowly her pale dark skin turns a deep shade of red.

“S-sorry!” You both say in unison. There’s an awkward, shared laugh.

“Heh, mornings, right?”

“Yeah.” You reply. “But last night I slept here because I couldn’t move. You had me, umm, grabbed.”

She looks even more horrified. “I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. I’m not...you know. I mean, things got a little crazy, but I don’t do that sort of thing with anyone.” She’s fidgeting hard. At least, when you have the courage to look directly at her. “I’m not just some...some dick garage!”

You try not to burst into laughter at the phrase. You’ve never heard that before. She must have picked it up from Laki or something because she doesn’t usually talk like that.

“It’s okay. I did stuff too. Things just got a bit crazy.”

“You don’t regret it, right? And you don’t think I’m some slutty weirdo? Or some weird creeper?"

Of course you don’t think that. But you’re not sure what to say. You never really know what to say when it comes to this sort of stuff.

“Of course not!” You finally force yourself to look her in the eye. As embarrassed as you are, you get the feeling it’s even worse for her. She looks very relieved to hear you say that, and even brushes the hair out of her face. You never really noticed how much it blocks her eyes until now.

“I’m glad.”

“I was worried you thought I was some sort of player.”

She stifles a laugh. But she looks apologetic when she sees your reaction to that. “I’m sorry. I’m not laughing because you couldn’t be. I mean, you’re,” she swallows, “c-cute, and it’s like the more interest a girl shows in you, the more others want your attention.” Wait, what? “It’s that you’re too sweet to lie or break hearts. You’re a good friend. I mean, not friend; person. Guy. I mean, both. All three!”

“Thanks, Hana.” You interrupt her. “You’re really nice, too. I wouldn’t feel comfortable about it if you weren’t so nice.”

There’s another silent moment, but this one isn’t as awkward.

“Umm... did I do okay?” You ask.

“What? Oh.” She looks away again. “Oh yeah.” The way her body moves and her face turns even as she’s looking away really boosts your ego. “Uhh, did I?”

“Yes!” Your voice cracked a little. “I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it was...wow.”

“Awesome!” She whispers to herself. “I didn’t really feel like I did my best though.” Her hands clenches the blanket and you see a little bead of sweat form on her face. “I was thinking, that as friends, maybe we could practi-”

“Sorry to be a stickler, but the ship can’t handle showers for everyone in the morning.” Valerie comes into the room. You and Hana nearly leap to other sides of the bed. “So we’ll have to space them out, or if you’re comfortable with it, double up.” She fluffs her hair. “Don’t tell Laki though. She can shower on her own.”

You have a quick shower with Polu, change, and get ready for a busy day. You need to work fast. Valerie insists on coming with you to help.

“Jeez, I don’t know if I’ll be any good there.” Polu says. “This isn’t really my strong suit. I can’t sew or anything, either.”

You feel a bit bad for him. You can tell that he’s not at his most confident. He hasn’t punched you in the arm hard enough to bruise all day. You thought you were more of a team effort at the gym, but it’s obvious he doesn’t think so.

Well we can always shower with her...though it seems like there might be a bit of trouble in paradise? Of course whats more economical then three of us in the shower at once?

>>1374106
I'm not as adverse to this as I thought I would be. Maybe friendship is just a turn-on for me? Yes, but it's more likely I just don't see it as a big threat to a Keira romantic route.

>>1374109
I think Val is playing hard-to-get with Laki. Not to mess with her, but to feel like she has control in the relationship too, and so she doesn't get caught up in things faster than she'd be comfortable with. Finding out for certain is just another reason for me to hungrily wait for alt-perspective bins, I suppose.

>>1374114
Hana takes her prosthetics off to shower though, and that would likely feel doubly personal and exposing to her. She'd also probably be light enough to pick up though...

Suspiciously long mixed sex showers aren't very subtle though.

You put a hand on Polu’s shoulder. Hey! You normally get self-conscious about that sort of thing, but it just came naturally. He must be rubbing off on you. “I need you,” Hana freezes up again, “to take care of the sound setup. If we’re doing it at the docks, the water and everything will make it really tricky.”

“Bro! I know all about that!” He shoots up. “I practiced making a surfing video for when I could afford a camera when I was a kid.”

His enthusiasm makes Bella imitate him. She gets like that sometimes when someone makes a big display of emotion. She stops and takes cover when she hears Cutiefly come by, but luckily for her Cutiefly is busy following Keira.

You don’t have it in you to tell him that music is added in post production. If he knows how to make it work well around the water, that’s all that matters. “Great! Let me know if I can help with anything.”

“Oh man, I so got this, bro!” He stretches. “It’ll blow everyone’s... ummm.” He snaps his fingers. “Feet gloves...no..Socks! Their socks off!”

Huh, you guess you haven’t seen a lot of people wearing socks here now that you think about it. It’s strange the things you don’t notice.

Oh right! You still need to select your judge.

“Oh yeah. Can you get in touch with Jane, too? For our judge.”

“Bro, Jane?” He hesitates. “Well, if we phrase it right, she’ll be fair. It’s a risky move, though.”

“Didn’t you sneak onto a pirate ship?” You retort in a surprisingly confident tone. But being aware of that makes you self-conscious. “I mean, you know, that’s pretty risky.”

“Yeah.” He chuckles. “I still think Jane is scarier, though.” He picks up his pokedex to call her. “Wish me luck.”

“Good luck.”

He makes a motion to be quiet. He’s already connected.

“Sorry.” You whisper.

He motions again to be quiet.

You move on. You and Valerie need to do some shopping. Keira is going to help sew too. Laki decides to stay out of it, but she’ll come to watch. She says she’ll need her strength up to look after you after you manage to get yourself into trouble with dangerous pirates. You’re not sure if you feel insulted by that or if it’s sweet that she’s worried about you in her own way.

You and Valerie go over the design and measurements one more time before setting out. Your pokemon even weigh in a bit, but their contributions are a little questionable. Mace seems to motion that it needs a cape, Gobble thinks you should make a fried fish symbol on it, then gets distracted and asks for food. Bella wants to model a prototype and seems disappointed that you don’t have time for that. Dice stays out of it and chases the others with chomps.

You stretch and share a look with Valerie. You’ll have to really move it to meet your deadline.

Hopefully if we do a good job it'll mean getting to play even more dress-up with our friends in the future.

Specifically, giving Mace a cape and putting together outfits for ourself specifically to make people see us a certain way. Like, say, as something other than an easy mark when we're in Take. Or giving an appearance of confidence so our battle opponents get nervous.

And Hana can wear shorts for that booty.

And Keira can paint our chest and we'll do her hair.

And Gobbs can put on that silk scarf.


I wonder why Pohoa's boat was empty? Either he's got a secret cargo hold, or that offer to play dress-up on the boat was less than honest.

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics involve three rolls of 1d100, taking the best, and using the base accuracy and crit ranges of the game, roughly, but the 'turn order' will be more like the anime, where sometimes you can do a few moves in a row or be hit by a combo of moves yourself, all depending on circumstances. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves, so beware of that timing. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first. Infact, you can do more than one move in a row like the anime, but so can your opponents.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture, mostly likely a butt.

“Hurry!” Valerie yells as she leaps ahead. Her golden hair shining in the morning sunlight. She’s been growing increasingly enthusiastic about this, despite having no stake it in. It’s people like her that keep you from getting too cynical.

Huh, for some reason you suddenly feel silly. You brush that aside and catch up.

The two of you shop around while Hana and Keira mostly just hang back, unsure about what to do to help at the moment.

We’ll need to decide one last thing. The fabric. There’s a lot to choose from here, although most of it is in irregular forms, like they got them from a discount warehouse or second hand.

The first choice is a bit off on the colour, but it feels amazing. You’re sure he’d be very comfortable in this.

The other is almost grossly incandescent, but it sure screams fabulous to you.

The next is an amazing vispum weave combined with mega-amphoros wool. That’s an incredible find. There’s no way you could afford it, though.

Lastly is something that you could easily and quickly modify, making any screwups an easy and quick fix.

The lining would always be a more comfortable and cheaper material anyways, but the outside material would still effect how nice it is to wear. Unless Herb isn't making a lining, but that would be kind of noticeable if the judges know anything about clothes. People only do that when they're making costumes and such.

It’s a bit pricey, but you decide to buy the comfortable material for the inner part, and the grossly incandescent for the outer portion. Even with everyone’s help, it’s a bit of a rush job. Keira helps sew, but apparently islanders do a different type of sewing than the manufacturer. Hana is eager to help to, but when you come up behind her to check on how she’s doing and give her a compliment, she accidently went a bit haywire with her arm. Valerie got a bit carried away and didn’t communicate one of the parts very well. All in all, there are a lot of small issues. Still, as long as he does okay with the presentation and nobody inspects the inside, it should be fine.

No time to worry about it. You and the girls go to the docks and find Polu finishing up the sound setup.

“Good job!” You tell him. “Where’d you get all the sound equipment?” You nod to Jane who is sitting on a stool near the dock. She’s either eyeing you suspiciously or just facing to directly towards the sun.

Polu scratches the back of his neck. “Well, when the gym leader heard about that bet, she insisted on helping.”

You suddenly feel a cold shadow grow behind you, even in the bright island sun. You turn and see her scowling face.

“What did you do?” Uh oh. “You bet the location of my diary?”

“Umm, I...well...”

“I’m impressed. That’s sneaky. Stupid to cross me, but sneaky.”

“So you’re not mad?”

She doesn’t answer, she just looks down at you. You’re almost thankful by the booming sound of the Captain storming in from the other side of the deck.

“What did you do?” He demands.

Now you’re really confused.

“I sent you a distraction and emptied your cargo.” She gloats. Is she talking about you? “I admit, I didn’t see things coming to some sort of fashion challenge. Asking you for your amulet isn’t a a route I planned for.”

“We were a distraction?” Polu asks, a little angry.

“Well, yeah.” She dismisses him, then turns back to her brother. “Now, let’s talk business. You give up your amulet, and I give you back your cargo.”

He’s fuming now. “I’ll tear your gym apart looking for it! Then I’ll tear you apart!” He reaches for her, but she easily moves out of his reach.

“Face it, I won.” She taunts. “But I still want to see this little show of yours.”

Laki puts herself between the two fighting siblings and your group.

Ha Jane squinting at Herb that's priceless, then again someone mentioned something about a plan last night. I'm this case the plan was to have an impartial judge

>>1375847
>Hey, that’s underhanded. She should give it back and let you settle it fairly
"I'm disappointed in you." Cross arms, sigh quietly.

>>1375847
>Stay out of it for now, but stay where you are

I have faith that the captain can get his stuff back.

The way I see it, we should win the amulet and keep it for ourselves until these two settle things maturely, with words. I expect as much from a gym leader at least.

Also my reason for staying out of it for now is that we can hold his amulet until she agrees to give his stuff back

Hopefully that 94 is for the Captain.

This sounds great. Let's take it.

“Rrrrr.” He growls. “I just need to get leverage of my own to even the score.” He points to you. “Grab one of them!”

“You can’t!” Kalai yells and moves beside Laki. Your pokemon also move to defend you.

He unleashes a huge puff of smoke and there’s all sorts of noise and confusion. You try to keep your eyes peeled or listen for what to do or something. You can barely see Laki in front of you. Sometimes the smoke clears enough that you can see a foot or an arm of someone you recognize.

After a good long while, the smoke clears. Jane is standing by with her pokemon, looking like she’s the one responsible. You see the gym leader being held hostage by the Captain’s crew.

“Please, I can’t harm something so beautiful.” He motions to you as he talks to her. “But I knew you’d get in the way if I threatened him.”

She grunts. “You can’t keep me for long.”

“Long enough for my crew to rip your gym apart.”

She sighs. “I get it. You want to exchange the cargo for calling you crew off.”

He laughs. “Well?”

She nods and he lets her go. She grudgingly touches her wrists. “Back to square one.” She walks back to you and Polu. “Go on, have your little contest. Who knows, maybe you’ll have another surprise like at the gym.”

You and your friends exchange looks. You guess you should just go on with it, then.

“Do you want to go first or second?” The captain asks you and your friends.

>First
>Second
>You don’t think you want to participate anymore. You two have things to sort out
>Something else

>>1375947
>>Second
Gives us time for a second look over the outfit.

>>1375947
>>Second

>>1375947
>Something else
What time is it? We should do whichever option is closer to noon.

>>1375947
>Second

What a weird family. I wonder why they derive their positions of authority from trinkets in the first place?

>>1375947
>>Second

>>1375947
>>1375959
I'll back this. We should also give the Captain back his amulet if we win, they need to sort this shit out themselves.

Well, we could at least give it to him in exchange for him paying for the suit. Or getting us that rare gem we need for the fishing side quest.

Or we could give it to the gym leader. Listening to an authority figure never hurt, right? Plus, we'd be keeping our word.

Not before emploring that siblings shouldn't fight like this though.

>>1375947
Daww he thinks Herb is cute.

>>1375900
Damn she's purdy.

>>1375995
Herb IS cute.

>>1376004
If we win and give it back to him we should say something like "Bye! Let's play dress-up together again sometime!"

Hana'll freak.

>trying to get Herb kidnapped.

>>1373886
If he looks like this it's a miracle no one hasn't abducted him already!

>>1376028
>implying our friends haven't stolen us away already

>>1376036
Oh yeah? When was the last time one of them just trapped us somewhere for the night? Or stopped us from going wherever we want to?

>>1376040
>trapped us somewhere for the night
How many "snuggle piles" have there been? WAKE UP ANON

>>1376040
Uh, literally the last time we were asleep when Hana had us by the balls?

I mean, it's not the same thing, but they do like hanging out with us, and they do seem to think we're cute.

“Psh. fine.” The captain says. He yells out to his crewman. “Put it on. We’re up first.” He motions to a few crewmembers. “Help him into it. He’ll need it.”

They sigh and go off. You guess it’s not a job they wanted.

“So, how’s the gym?”

“Standing.”

Yeesh. Even Jane could teach them a thing or two about friendly tones.

On that note, she finally comes over. You can see from her face that she’s confused about what just happened.

“Ah, so you’re the judge, are you?” He bows and kisses her hand. “My, what beautiful eyes.”

She takes her hand back slowly. “You can’t butter me up.”

“Buttering up? That’s a mainlander saying. You must be new here.”

Her eyes and nostrals flare. “What’s it to you?”

“Oh, it’s alright. I know some people might be giving you a hard time. But you just keep that beautiful chin up and keep at ‘er, and you’ll earn their respect.”

She looks more confused than ever. “W-what are you... I told you, you won’t butter...you won’t get me to be impartial.”

He laughs. “I don’t expect you to vote for me, dear. If you came all this way for that little Pikachu, it’s clear where your heart lies. I’m just being friendly.”

Her eyes go even wider and she clenches a fist. “I...how dare!...Gah!”

You hate to admit it, but a small part of you actually enjoys seeing her flustered. You’re a little confused about why he got her so worked up, though.

Before she can get her mouth to work right to formulate a proper response, the show starts. He leaps up onto a platform and swings his arms wide. “Ladies and gentleman. I present to you, Iaho!”

Iaho is shoved from his spot behind a screen. His outfit looks pretty normal. In fact, it’s even a little unflattering. It’s a plain sailor outfit. But something about it is bugging you. Like it’s got a bunch of extra material. As he’s walked closer from the end of the dock, his two escorts take out their swords and point at his back.

“Thank you for coming to witness this scurvy, no good Ensign being sentenced to walk the plank.”

“Awww, captain.” He moans.

The captain makes a motion for him to be quiet. Iaho is poked and prodded and sent to the edge of the dock. His crewmembers look to him for the final order, and he gives it with a grand gesture.

“Walk the plank!”

He regretfully walks off the edge of the dock into the very shallow water below. There’s a big splash, and a loud laugh from the crew.

“That poor man.” Valerie says.

“Witness as the sea makes a man out of even Iaho!” The captain declares.

He makes his way from the edge of the water to the shore. He tumbles off clumsily and comes up yelling that he’s alright. As he comes out at the shore, his outfit suddenly tightens around the gut and a few other places. It acts like a water activated girdle. He whips his wet hair back out of habit and he actually comes out looking pretty good. He got a tiny cut on his forehead, though.

The judges whisper and look generally impressed. Jane even seems to think that was a neat trick.

“You’re up.” The captain leans over to you.

Okay, you get up and take Iaho back to the changing area.

“Didja see that? That captain might be rough on me, but I guess he really just wants to make better. You know?” He clumsily tries to get out of the circulation stopping pants.

You and Polu present him the outfit you made. He looks a bit wary at the strange stitching on the seams. “Awww, Herb. I gotta suck in my gut and I’m all wet. And everyone’s expectations are going to be pretty high.”

>This outfit will make his inner self shine instead of making him something else
>Tell him a corny joke

I really want to heal, but we just don't have time. We can do it right after though.

>>1376075
>>This outfit will make his inner self shine instead of making him something else

Maybe make sure that the other people see that little trick.

Let him know that we don't really have much at stake here, but he should have some fun with this!

>>1376079
I don't think Herb would try to show off when just trying to help someone.

>>1376084
Gotta agree. Make it quick, not showy.

>>1376075
>>This outfit will make his inner self shine instead of making him something else

Don't want blood on the outfit. Headcuts bleed a lot.
