Apep nodded slightly and gave a slight nod. "Wish us luck, Malfoy." She said, smiling gently. The snake had a good idea as to where the dragon from the race had gone, so she would talk to him later. The snake then moved towards the sign up area for the bikini contest and wrote her name down.

 

Blitz sighed as he walked along the beach, as if he was looking for something. He didn't know why he had left and simply facepalmed. "I guess that guy thinks I'm some sort of jerk now." He thought. The dragon then noticed a stones that seemed to form a path. It looks like he was getting close to his destination.

Malfoy smiled at Apep with a slight nod of his head. "Yeah good luck to the both of you and here's hoping one of you wins if there's a cash prize so you can take me out somewhere." He said snickering slightly. "I kid of course but I'll be in the crowd cheering you two on."

Denise caught a glimpse at Mary's bust - even hers was bigger! She must be popular in whatever social circle she was in. Which, at the moment, seemed to just be the two of them. And she was fine with that.

 

With another scan around the other girls, she sighed and threw off her plaid shirt. "Screw it."

 

Off came the t-shirt, revealing the dark blue chest of her swimsuit. The bottom part emerged when she removed her shorts and threw them onto the messy pile that was her clothes.

 

"Voila."

Mary clapped her hands together, admiring the beautiful display that was her friend. ​"You look like a million dollars! Boys will be on you like white on rice, girl! Now my turn." She removed her clothes and let them fall to the ground, allowing Denise to see her bikini top that was yellow and her bottom that matched the two parts. ​"Well?"

[redaxted 1,765]

JR continued hurling somewhat, but had slowed down momentarily. After hearing some others outside asking him about how he felt, he responded quickly, ​"H-huh?  No...I'm not really fine.....I just need some water..." ​​He opened up the bathroom door to see the snow leopard and the dragoness. Fortunately, he had already muscled through the worst of it and was feeling a lot better. He took the water, and downed it within seconds. After a deep exhale, he looked at the two, ​"Thanks for that, guys. I think I inhaled something nasty while swimming down there. It doesn't really help that I placed last and--meh don't worry about it. I had fun anyway. Although....it was kinda embarrassing....guess that ruined my cool points back there...hehe..."

"Well, good to hear you're okay," Ocean said. "And at least you had fun! I think that's what mainly counts." She smiled slightly at the cat boy and then looked over to where the next competition was taking place. A bikini contest. She sighed as she imagined herself partaking in such an event - hardly likely. Confidence was something she didn't have a lot of, and her figure was one of the reasons why. She was not as thin or curvy as the girls who were figuring out their poses already. "Well, it's good to see that they're confident in themselves..." she murmured.

[captainborgue 343]

Ugh ,the bikini contest. Kerrigan found the entire process intensely distasteful- there was no show of skill or talent, no reward for persistence and dedication, no display of prowess or intellect, merely aesthetics. Which were so subjective as to be all but irrelevant- every person here had a different idea of what constituted beautiful, and yet that was the sole measure by which these women were to be judged. Worse still, it turned the males into hormonal idiots, and significantly increased the chances of someone trying something stupid.

 

"Confidence has nothing to do with it for most of them," Kerrigan said, flicking out her forked tongue. "It is aesthetics and physicality, nothing more- ironically the one aspect of a person's character that is guaranteed to worsen with time. Skill, strength, speed, intellect, acumen- all of these things can be improved upon, trained, increased. Beauty cannot. Beauty will inevitably fade. I suggest that, if beauty matters to you at all, you seize the opportunity to make the most of it, especially if you are scared or shy or self conscious. Such feelings can only be overcome by facing them."

@@captainborgue, @@Wolves,

​JR listened intently at the dragoness' wise words. She had a point: looks and trying to be the best through doing nothing at all was trivial. Worse, it wasn't even a skill-based competition, it was aesthetic-based. And most boys would just use this as an excuse to be perverted--well except for this one. ​"Pff. Yeah. You have a point, ma'am. Some things aren't worth the effort. And I think I did ok personally for my competition." ​He looked at the snow leopard and tried to comfort her, "Hey, at the end of the day, what's really hot about a woman is her personality. What she does, how they do it, when they do it, how they treat others. Ya know. It's nothing to be ashamed of. As long as you're content with yourself, and you know those closest to you are content with the way you are, then hey, that's an A in my book." ​He gave her a pat on the back, ​"Don't sweat it--or, maybe you will sweat since it's the beach and  it's hot. Well. heh, you know what I mean. I'll see you around. Keep that head up, miss. And thanks for the water, ma'am." ​Despite the reaction he had to the seawater, the snow cat felt a bit happy. To him, the experience was mildly amusing at best. At this point, he just wanted to relax and get some fresh air.

​He waved to the dragon and snow leopard as he walked off. He was looking for a spot to get a tan, but everywhere along the beach seemed to be occupied by groups of girls posing and showing themselves off for the crowd. It was really kind of confusing, but he didn't let it get to him. Once he found a spot, he was about to lie down. Unfortunately, he had found himself in the way of more girls walking past him, almost knocking him over to get to the judging area. As he was pushed into the sand, he could hear a few female furs calling him a pervert for brushing up against them and whatnot.. Yet they were the ones that nearly trampled him. Today was simply not his day. JR found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time consistently. And yet, he couldn't help but just stay happy about it all, and laugh on the inside despite what may have been happening on the outside. ​"Heh. Some furs..."

 

​​Seeing as he was unsuccessful in getting a tan, JR simply went near the back of the beach and sat under a tree to get some shade. This felt good...life seemed good that day.


Meanwhile, the bunny woman was at the judges' table, looking around at the girls that were lining up for the competition. She had a stern face that would induce fear into weak-minded competitors. It'd be best if any girls entering had the utmost confidence if they intended to win today's event...

"Eh, I'm not that great," Denise smirked, putting her hands on her hips, "But thanks, good to know I'm not hideous."

 

She waited as Mary got changed into her own swimsuit, and nodded with a low whistle. "You pull that off pretty well, actually. Got a way bigger chance of winning this thing than I do at least."

@J.R.

 

As Apep signed up for the contest, she noticed that the rabbit at the judges table shooting glares at a few of the girls signing up for the contest, herself included. The snake then flicked her tail and knew that she wasn't going to let a rabbit from the city discourage her.

 

 

After a few more minutes of walking, Blitz entered a moderately sized cove and gave a slight smirk. It had been a long time since he had come to this area, and he was glad that it was still the way he remembered it. "I should still be able to watch the contest from here." He thought to himself.

Ocean listened in silence to dragon's words, and nodded slowly after she had finished. "Wow, I never really thought about it in such a way," she replied. "Well said." She and then turned to JR and smiled a little as he told about what really mattered and patted her on the shoulder. "Thanks," she said rather quietly, and her mind drifted to all of her friends and family who had told her that they were proud of her and appreciated what she did. It made her feel warm inside, and lightened her mood. But then she recalled everyone who wasn't so fond of her. She always tried to remind herself that she hadn't done anything to upset them, and that the spiteful individuals were the problem rather than herself; she couldn't help but sometimes feel a little down about their harsh words. She pushed the dull thoughts to the back of her mind and focused on JR as he walked away, waving. She politely waved back and then turned back towards the bikini competition.

 

"Wow, they're stunning," she muttered quietly to herself as she observed the competitors who had gathered so far. She once again pictured herself on the stage, then squirmed and shivered at the thought of posing in a revealing outfit in front of several judges shooting fiery glares at the girls. One of them in particular (a rabbit, in fact) appeared especially stern. This would be a very heated competition, she thought, as more females lined up to contend. She settled on the decision that she would stick around out of curiosity to discover who would prevail. She glanced over at Kerrigan and then headed back over to where she had set down her beach towel and left her bag - well, she thought she had left her bag there! It was gone.

Kronos happened to stumble upon the swimsuit competition.

 

"Wow," he commented, "So many stunning woomen out here, yet so many that I can't even try to hit on." He looked at the contestants and made a mental judgement of each of them. Too sexy. Too skinny. Woah, too big gozongas. "Eh, they're all way outta my league. There's no way I'll get the affection of any of these girls. I'm getting outta here." Kronos went off then thought to himself, Hmm, I wonder when my time to perform comes up.

She waited as Mary got changed into her own swimsuit, and nodded with a low whistle. "You pull that off pretty well, actually. Got a way bigger chance of winning this thing than I do at least."

Mary blushed slightly, and moved more hair out of her eyes. She never got such a nice compliment about her body--besides from perverts like that were at the beach. But she felt warmed by it. ​"Thanks...it was my mom's old bathing suit and I....I dunno I guess she handed down some of her style to me...."

"Looks like your mom had a good sense of style then," Denise nodded, smirking at her friend, "I just picked this thing outta my closet. I can't remember where it came from and honestly I'm surprised it fits."

 

She glanced down at herself, and shrugged. "You really think someone's gonna be into this? I'm kind of a twig."

Mary nodded as she looked her friend over. She was very pleased with her friend's appearance. ​"Twig? Oh, Denny. To tell you the truth, I'm a lot like a cow myself. How embarrassing is that right? I mean, no offense to cows and all, but it's a derogatory term for a fat girl..."

"Eh," Denise shrugged, looking her friend over, "Body size was never a big deal for me, or right now. Fat or skinny, no biggie. Besides, fat girls deserve love just as much." She smirked.

 

As she looked over her friend, she couldn't exactly say Mary was hard on the eyes herself.

After Apep sighed up for the contest and made sure that everything she needed was in order, she spent the next few minutes looking for Blitz. "Where could he have gone?" She thought, before giving a slight sigh. The hawk then turned her attention to the festival. "I'm sure he's fine. He's a capable dragon." A light blush then spread over the hawk's cheeks as she thought a bit more about him, before shaking her head to clear her thoughts.

 

(I think we're about ready to move to the actual contest.)

Mary giggled and before she could say anything else, another confetti blaster kicked off the beginning of the judging. ​"Oh! Let's go!" ​She grabbed Denise by the arm, and ran out to join the other girls that were all lined up and posing together.

 

​The bunny woman who was judging the event had stood up. Nearly all the girls fell silent as she made her way over, looking as if she could scare the spots off of a cheetah. With her clipboard in hand, she began to walk down the line of girls and take notes...

Denise jumped again from the confetti blaster, and clutched her chest. "Why is this a thing?!"

She quickly found herself being dragged off by her friend, and stood next to her in line.

 

She craned her head over and saw the bunny woman making her way up the line, looking incredibly pompous and condescending.

 

Typical. she thought.

 

When she got up to Denise, the rat girl just stood there with her hands on her hips and a leg crooked, giving the judge a look of pure 'Yeah, this is me. Don't like it? Deal.'

[captainborgue 343]

Kerrigan kept a close eye on the crowd as the judge moved from one contestant to the next. Ms. Hops was a strict, unflappable, and severe woman- Kerrigan had been quite pleased that she had been selected to coordinate the festival. Nobody could put anything past her, a trait Kerrigan strongly approved of. It was almost as though Ms. Hops was her own protege.

 

Something still felt amiss. Some inkling in the back of her mind felt amiss, something she was not consciously aware of. She flicked her forked tongue, trying to taste the air for anything out of place. Aside from elevated hormone levels, particularly testosterone, there was nothing else she could detect.

 

Kerrigan did not like not knowing. She also did not like the overt hostility on display, among some of the contestants as well as some of the onlookers. She paced along the row of young women, a couple paces behind the judge, eyeing them all carefully. If anything were to happen, she would be ready.

"Took the day off for this, so yeah sounds like a plan mate." She looked to the crowed again for a moment, then got closer to Ryo so his sister could not hear. "Now I'm not trying to be rude but are we also going to be with your little sis all day? It may effect things I suppose."

"Here it is!" Ocean heard a soft voice sound behind her.

"Savannah!" she cried. She wasn't expecting to see her best friend here. "Thank you! Where was it?"

"It was actually right here..." Savannah said. "I was messing with ya. What's happening?"

Ocean chuckled then glanced to the bikini contest, which was just getting started. "Swimsuit competition."

"Sweet! Can you still enter?"

"If you're extremely quick, maybe," Ocean replied. "I won't be taking part."

"I'd guessed that already," Savannah said as she peeled of her shirt and shorts to reveal a brilliant pink bikini. "Luckily, I came prepared!"

 

Savannah was a very confident wolf. She certainly doubted that she would win, or even come close to first place, but seeing as she was here she thought she might as well compete. For a bit of fun. Most of the girls were taking everything very seriously, and Savannah rushed over to join rapidly before the rabbit judge reached the end of the line. There were a lot of competitors, and several of them gave her a slight glare as she joined late. Savannah quickly picked out a pose and tried her best to keep a straight face as Ocean made rude signs at her jokingly, giggling. Immature, but that's what made it funny! She looked at the bunny judge as she approached with steely stare.
