[D4 ME] Trap's Wide Open

[Yūrei]

"Well, I think the saleswoman might have been legally blind.." She smiled at the thought, before she perked up. In mischief. Or was it?

"Hey, do you want to try it on and see what Usagi-sama thinks?"

"You want me to model it for you two? Mmmhm, I suppose that makes sense. You can check for any tears. And Maybe if you ask nicely Hotaru-sama could consider fixing them?"

She takes the dress and steps into it, pulling it up.
"This takes me back. Can you zip me up babe?"

[Hotaru Sakura]

She takes the dress and steps into it, pulling it up.
"This takes me back. Can you zip me up babe?"

Sakura stepped behind, and started slowly pulling up the zipper with her right, her left hand touching Yureii's bare back, Sakura's heart beating faster. Must be nervous about the party tonight.

"Remember that date you went on with the Yogo boy? I think his uncle arranged it so he would be less anxious or something. Was that the last time you wore this?" Finished, she extended her left hand, touching Yurei's collarbone. Like a friend.

[Yūrei]

Snip

"Yup, pretty sure that was it. He was a sweet kid, really wanted to do computer science but his dad was pushing him into politics. And um, I am preeetty sure he was more interested in guys. That handsome waiter was getting more attention than I did."

Glancing at her collarbone
"Hmmm? Have I got some dirt on me? Knew I should have hit the bathhouse."
Patting Sakura's hand she twirls, the fabric flaring out slightly.

"Well? How does it look? Any damage?"

"Well, you certainly did a number on my self-esteem." Her eyes followed the twirl, glistening with admiration. "Well, you did him good.Just like how you did me good. Now go on there and wow the Hare."

She casually pushed Yurei in front of herself. "Usagi-sama, check HER out!"

[Yūrei]

"Well, you certainly did a number on my self-esteem." Her eyes followed the twirl, glistening with admiration. "Well, you did him good.Just like how you did me good. Now go on there and wow the Hare."

She casually pushed Yurei in front of herself. "Usagi-sama, check HER out!"

"I'm pretty sure he- wait, hey!"
Yūrei finds herself forcibly driven back into the common room by Sakura, now wearing a classic Rokuganic dress of sheer pink silk with sleeves reaching almost to the ground. A low cut neckline contrasts with the rest of the costume as she turns a little pink.

"Uh, hey again Rei-sama. You think this would look good on Sakura-chan? She's a bit taller so it'll look less frumpy on her."

[Usagi Rei]

Rei had certainly been watching with some interest while the two were out there. Now he perked up again as they reappeared.

He rose, smiling, giving a little bow as Yūrei displayed herself in the new dress. "My my." He said, his tone approving, his gaze traveling down, lingering a bit, traveling back up. "Was that really in Sakura-san's closet? You look great. Show me?" He raised one hand, making the universal symbol for 'twirl'.

Eyes appreciative, his gaze still did flick back to Sakura, prepared to gauge her outfit as well.

"Stop it. You're not frumpy, you're cute and hot." She let out a sigh of irritation. She herself was dressed in a short black kimono like dress, with some tight -tight- pants as well. "This feels a bit too common, I guess."

[Yūrei]

Still rather red, Yurei twirls daintily, the fabric whooshing quietly.

"I think it's the right mix of classy but also risque. Also I don't know how Sakura-chan got into those pants and I'm a little scared to find out."

[Usagi Rei]

"Don't sell yourselves short." Rei said, smiling but firm. "You're both hot. You could go out together looking like that and turn a lot of heads. Especially together."

He strode casually over. "That neckline is very charming, Yurei-san." He said, smiling. "And Sakura-san, wow, your legs..." He spread his hands. "I hope you both recognize how good you look."

[Hotaru Sakura]

Still rather red, Yurei twirls daintily, the fabric whooshing quietly.

"I think it's the right mix of classy but also risque. Also I don't know how Sakura-chan got into those pants and I'm a little scared to find out."

"Your loss, you weren't looking." She stuck out a tongue.

"Oooooh, we should definitely go out sometime together Yurei-chan. Been ages!" She crossed her legs for added emphasis. "Now, Usagi-sama...I think we have a winner..." she indicated towards the dress Yurei was wearing. "And another winner." she pointed at Rei.

"Now, how about some turn around? I am sure Usagi-sama has some idea what he's wearing tonight. Want to share with a couple of curious samurai-ko?"

[Usagi Rei]

Rei turned his smile on her, letting it stay there a moment. "Alright. I'll be right back." As a senior attaché, he had his own (tiny) office, although he didn't often use it. He walked to it now, casting a smirk back over his shoulder as he went

It was a scarce few minutes later that he returned, dressed in https://i.imgur.com/DUmYYp3.jpg[/img]]traditional clothing in the Hare colors. However, the way he wore it was definitely Scorpion. It wasn't quite open enough in front to see his abs, but definitely a fair bit of his well-shaped chest.

Smiling, he spread his arms. "Well? What do you think?"

Sakura looked at him, her mouth open. "Well, first of all, damn. Second...that is so unfair. We" se indicated between Yurei and herself "spent almost an hour to find something to wear, and I still have to do makeup. Under a mask. You...you're just done? Like that?"

She turned towards Yurei in incredulity.

[Usagi Rei]

Smiling, Rei shrugged. "Well... hey, your effort's paid off, anyway. If I saw the two of you in a club, I'd probably buy you a drink." There was definitely something playful in his smile.

Then he grinned. "At the same time, though, I'll take that damn. Thank you." Still grinning, he swept a dramatic bow. Straightening, he brushed a hand back through his well-trimmed hair.

[Yūrei]

Clicking her tongue and echoing Sakura.

"Dang, well, that's made all the dressing up worth it. And I'm pretty sure you didn't just throw that on, there was careful thought here, definitely. A lot of sex-party planning."

[Hotaru Sakura]

"I mean, he is a professional Yurei-chan." She looked him up and down. "Did you have that lying around?"

[Usagi Rei]

Rei chuckled. "No, actually, I had to rent it. It's a bit out of my price range, unfortunately."

His lips quirked. "I should probably buy it, or something like it. This is my third time at this party, after all. I'm beginning to think that I'd have saved money if I had just bought one the first time."

[Yūrei]

"There's the uhm, splash risk so maybe renting is still the safer option."
Pause
"Wait, three times? Ugggh, you've gotten in every year I haven't. You're telling me you were there the night they hired that gymnast troop?"

[Hotaru Sakura]

"I mean, depends if you have good dry cleaners...though maybe not Bayushi-trained good drycleaners." Sakura nodded in agreement.

"You've been trying for thee years Yurei-chan? I mean, we got in one time...wait no, that was Yogo-sama's Circus of Hedonism, where we were pegged as the Yobimbo Twins, no? I keep mixing up all the debauchery here. Is there a guide somewhere?"

[Usagi Rei]

"Besides this one, they're all pretty much the same." Rei said, shrugging. His partially bare chest made the gesture more emphatic. "This one has the big players, so it's worth going to. The rest... just a chance for some hedonism and blackmail."

Smiling, he turned a sympathetic gaze on Yurei. "And really, this one isn't much either. Don't worry, you're not missing out on the experience of a lifetime or anything. I'm sure Sakura-san will fill you in later on whatever happens."

[Yūrei]

Clearing her throat.
"You're right Re-, Usagi-sama. I think I've already had the experience of a lifetime, so I shall try not to be too jealous. Although I'm sure Sakura-chan will send me a few selfies to keep me honest about that."

Glancing back at Sakura
"There's 'Lewd Acts Monthly' which seems to have most everything. The subscription isn't cheap but I'm told it's worth it."
