[D4 ME] Trap's Wide Open

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Told by whom Yurei-chan?" She asked, her gaze full of curiosity.

"And of course! I'll take pictures of all the hot people there! Oh, speaking of which."

Sakura started gently -not really- pushing Yurei towards Rei. "Can I take a picture of you two?"

It seemed there was some guffawing coming from the Tsuyo-Sakura room in between weldings.

[Usagi Rei]

Rei hesitated a moment, then smiled.

"Sure. Here, Yūrei-san. Come stand next to me." Quickly, Rei brushed a hand through his hair, before turning a little bit to the side, the better to have his picture taken with a partner.

[Yūrei]

"Oh, can't remember babe."

Yūrei flails a little as she gets pushed next to Rei.
"Uh, well, here we are."
She fusses with her sleeves a bit before standing close, but not improperly close to the Hare, face a little flushed.
"No putting this up on your social media, okay?"

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura took a picture. "Just want a picture of two people I cherish and who also look really good." She smirked, then waved that the pic was over. "Arigatou, Usagi-sama, Yurei-chan."

She tried to put the comunicator away...before realizing she had no pockets or purse. "Okay, I'll take this back to my room."

[Yūrei]

"No rush, I'll keep an eye on Usagi-sama, make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble."

[Usagi Rei]

"Hah." Rei said, giving a casual wave as Sakura walked away.

Once she was gone, he turned to Yūrei, smiling again. "And how have you been, Yūrei-san?" He asked, his voice as well-modulated as ever.

[Yūrei]

"Hah." Rei said, giving a casual wave as Sakura walked away.

Once she was gone, he turned to Yūrei, smiling again. "And how have you been, Yūrei-san?" He asked, his voice as well-modulated as ever.

"Quite busy, Rei-sama."
Feeling a little awkward.
"I uh, had a busy last night on a job, things got pretty hairy." Pausing for half a second. "But other than that I've kept busy, lots of people to meet and things to do. How uh, have you been?"

[Usagi Rei]

"Busy?" Rei looked at her, eyebrows going up. "Good busy, I hope."

He tilted his head, looking at her with that smile of his. "You do look very pretty in that. Who knew Sakura-san had so many..." he considered possible adjectives for a few moments, "-clothes?" He discarded all of them.

[Yūrei]

"Busy?" Rei looked at her, eyebrows going up. "Good busy, I hope."

He tilted his head, looking at her with that smile of his. "You do look very pretty in that. Who knew Sakura-san had so many..." he considered possible adjectives for a few moments, "-clothes?" He discarded all of them.

Shrugging, bumping his hip gently

"Busy busy. Got some more work lined up, no rest for the wicked."
Looking down at her self, swishing the dress slightly.

"Thanks, it's actually really nice. Although sort highlights...the wrong things. But that's what happens when you have a dress made for someone else."
Turning and smiling fondly in the direction of Sakura's room
"She has a good collection. I don't know how she got it all on our budget."
Her gaze snapping back to Rei.
"So...you and...her? Ever?"

[Usagi Rei]

Rei smirked playfully back, letting his hand wander just a little as they parted. "I see. We should talk again. About work, of course." His teeth flashed white at her.

His eyes traced down and then back up. "Looks pretty good to me."

The question made him chuckle. "No, no. I mean, I won't pretend I haven't thought about it. She's definitely pretty. But while we don't work together, we work close. I don't want to cause problems..." Although this was really more a guideline than a rule.

He looked at her, eyebrows going up. "What about you and her?"

[Yūrei]

Snip

"Oh yeah, we could. About work. Yes, maybe in a day or two?"
Playfully swatting at his hand.

"Oh yeah, good." pause "I mean, uh. Not that it's any of my business. You're both adults."
Blinking and looking up at him

"Me and her? Nah, we're just besties. Sakura-chan is really affectionate, I think she just enjoys hugs and contact. It's nice."

[Usagi Rei]

"A day or two sounds good." Rei said, smiling.

"Yeah..." He looked at her, chewing his lip. "I guess. I haven't especially noticed her enjoying hugs and contact." He shrugged. "But you've known her a lot longer than I have."

[Yūrei]

"A day or two sounds good." Rei said, smiling.

"Yeah..." He looked at her, chewing his lip. "I guess. I haven't especially noticed her enjoying hugs and contact." He shrugged. "But you've known her a lot longer than I have."

"She's just getting to know you. I promise, as soon as you two are close it's gonna be hugs and kisses and her helping you sort out your clothes." a fraction's hesitation "Platonically, of course. Besides, you didn't share a room the size of that couch with her. You get pretty familiar with someone like that. And she still talks to me."

Grinning
"Indisputable evidence of my winning personality."

[Hotaru Sakura]

"'Erm..Yurei-chan, do you think you can help me a little bit?" Sakura peeked out from behind the door. Her shoulder was bare, but she didn't lean out far enough to scandalize anyone. "I'm....stuck." She did not say she is stuck in her pants, explicitly.

[Yūrei]

"'Erm..Yurei-chan, do you think you can help me a little bit?" Sakura peeked out from behind the door. Her shoulder was bare, but she didn't lean out far enough to scandalize anyone. "I'm....stuck." She did not say she is stuck in her pants, explicitly.

"She's stuck in her pants."
Smiling apologetically at Rei.

"Sorry, but duty calls. Friends don't leave friends stuck."
She bows her head and then jogs over to the room

"Okay Sakura-chan, how bad is it looking?"

[Hotaru Sakura]

"She's stuck in her pants."
Smiling apologetically at Rei.

"Sorry, but duty calls. Friends don't leave friends stuck."
She bows her head and then jogs over to the room

"Okay Sakura-chan, how bad is it looking?"

"I mean, it's looking great. Look at my butt!" She tried tugging downwards, and a whole inch has progressed. "Otherwise...not good. Tsuyo-sama, do you have some oil or something else to lubricate with?"

[Yūrei]

Snip

Whistling.
"It's like it's painted on. How'd you even get into them anyway? I just heard a lot of squeaking."
Chewing her lip.
"No gonna lie, you look amazing, and I'm jealous. But I'm also not jealous because my pants come off when I want them to."
Pause
"Which is rare, and at night, when I go to sleep, or when I go to the baths."

[Hotaru Tsuyo]

There's a snort from the pile of costuming in the corner. "There's some powder and probably lotion in the refresher." A rustle like metal leaves follows as she works her way into the frame her dress currently hangs on. "Might want to just pass those pants along, you're not going to lose weight this season. Too many parties."

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura reached for the things in the refresher, and started working off the pants with the enthusiasim of an 8 year old who was just told she can't have cake for breakfast.

"Now Tsuyo-sama thinks I'm fat, great. These look good. Maybe if I run more in the mornings..."

She started shimming the pants down in front of Yurei...a view Rei might have been willing to kill, or at least maim, for. Presumably. Knowing him.

[Yūrei]

"Hotaru-sama is very wise. And your dress is...I've never seen anything like it. I don't think anyone else will have an iron dress."

Shaking her head at Sakura.
"Hey, you got yourself into this, let me help you get yourself out of it. Just keep wiggling like that and I'll grab the leg and."
She bends down and grabs the left leg cuff and starts giving it a series of tugs.
"You're not fat, it's muscle, right?" She pinches the leg. "Yeah, all muscle. But cake does have its cost, trust me, I'm an expert."
