K2 opened his mouth, but wasn't sure there was anything else to say. He said he'd see her later already. He wrapped the clothes up a bit so they wouldn't drag on the ground and headed up the stairs to the Hotel.
-----
Some time later, he was finishing up the shower. He was grateful that aside from all the feminine supplies in the room, the Komaki girl hadn't bothered to get rid of the stuff the Hotel supplied. He didn't particurlarly feel like smelling like lilac and vanilla. Besides, this way he'd been able to use the whole sample sized bottle without worry. He still didn't feel clean, but he knew logically that even if he had been covered in blood it would be off.
He reached out for the towel after turning the shower off. He looked to make sure the door was still shut and locked before stepping out and proceeding to dry himself off. The cosplay outfit was hanging on the door. He'd put it there to avoid getting it wet. He knew some materials tended to be sensitive, and while he wasn't really looking forward to the outfit, he didn't want to muck it up. His mom would have been in awe over it, she'd always marvelled at how well people could sew.

After a while, Midori started walking upstairs. Kaini was sure taking a while. She hoped he didn't collapse in the shower or something. That would NOT be good if he did.
She needed someone to dress up after all. Oh, and help K1.

Kaini looked at the outfit with what could best be described as a mix of dread and exasperation. He glanced over at the banana hammock and shook his head. Why was he doing this again? But all of his clothes had gotten wet, and he was not putting those back on. Whether it was technically blood anymore or not. It wasn't long before he had gotten the pants pulled up, although they were far tighter than he was used to. It wasn't a size issue, he could tell they fit. He was surprised the material seemed a bit looser around the joints. He could move without feeling like he was being affixiated. It took a bit of work to get the shirt to cooperate, and it was rather impressive how the jacket piece hid the zipper as he pulled it up. He paled a bit as he got the zipper caught on the... fabric fluff near the top of the shirt, but it cooperated into coming undone. He was sure that fluff had an actual term, it was based on real historical style. He looked at the cloak, and somehow got the funny feeling Midori would be annoyed if he didn't put it on. It took him a few moments to realize how far over he had to button it. The boots however, were the hardest part. Unlike the rest of the outfit, which seemed to have been tailored for his body type except for a few places that were marginally a bit loose or tight, the boots felt like he was trying to put a basketball through a golf hole. He managed to get one on, but the one for his left foot created more issues. So much so that he stood up to try and get it on, and proceeded to go off balance and crash onto the bath curtain and into the tub. At least the gloves stayed on the back of the toilet, practically everything else had hit the floor. It ended with his legs hanging over the side of the tub, the only thing preventing the outfit from getting wet being the way he was splayed over the curtain. The cloak spread to either side of him, as he reached up to grab his head. On a side note that would make any self respecting fangirl squee, his slightly damp hair had fallen into a position that caused it to greatly resemble that of the character whose outfit he was wearing right down to being darker than his usual shade thanks to the water. He still looked rather dazed from the fall and hitting his head. The shoe was on though, he'd just have to yank it up a bit to position it right and attach it under the pants so it looked like one piece. (OOC: For those of you wondering, here's a model of Zero of Code Geass whose outfit Midori all but force Kaini into. lh3.ggpht.com/kenny.yeo23/R-0v-wwWbpI/AAAAAAAABGA/Kk7qFvkLCQI/%5BUNSET%5D.jpg) |

Midori walked on into her hotel room, and looked around. "Hey, Kaini-kun, you alright in here--" She had turned toward the bathroom at this point and saw Kaini. She blinked. He totally looked just like Lelouch. In fact...
"YOU LOOK JUST PERFECT!" She squeed, and grabbed her camera. "Kaini-kun, stand up and pose for the camera please!"

Kaini winced as he heard Midori yell, "....wha...?" he managed to say. He hadn't had a chance to get over being dazed before he heard quite possibly the shrillest sound in recollection. It was... lord, it sounded just like the crowds he saw during convention season.
His eyes managed to clear in time to see Midori standing over him with a camera. All color drained from his face, "W-w-wait! I mean... if the guys saw and..."
It was hard to be polite when you were trying to salvage what little dignity you had left. As it was he didn't look like he could get up very easily. He wasn't in the best of positions. He looked almost frightened, and extremely flustered.

"Oh, they won't care. Now give your biggest magnificent bastard smirk for the camera, Lulu!" Midori squeed, and held the camera up to her face before taking several pictures, the camera flashing practically every second. "Oh yeah. These are definitely going on the website." She grinned. "You look so much like him, if this were a con, you'd win Best Dressed!"
She was in full fangirl mode now. This was great. All she needed was a Zero mask, some specially colored contacts, and to get Kaini's voice to sound like Jun Fukuyama's, and she'd have a genuine Lulu on her hands.

"Would you stop it!?" Kaini had hit annoyed by this point. He'd tried to be polite about it, and it had gotten him almost blinded. he held up his arm to try and shield his eyes from the camera flashes. And then he heard the website comment, "And you don't have my permission for that!"
His words were those of a flustered person, but he sounded angry. And his face was bordering on bishounen rage mode. Which... considering the fangirls this author knows, probably wasn't helping the situation.

"Ooh! Now you're angry Lulu! This is perfect!" Midori squeed as she snapped more and more pictures. Finally, the camera told her that she was out of memory space. "What, already? Aww..." At that point she decided to go through and delete any pictures that ended up too blurry or looked awkward.
"...I guess I should have gotten you out of the tub before I took these. There's no way I can upload these on my site! Or can I..." She chuckled before running over to the practically archaic desktop she had set up in the corner and plugging in the camera.
Still without helping Kaini out of the tub.

Kaini paled. He'd seen fangirls.. and... the implications... he flailed and finally managed to get the leverage he needed to pull himself up out of the tub. He went to step forward and almost faceplanted, having forgotten his boot wasn't quite on right. He made an animalistic growling noise and yanked up on the boot, knowing there was no way he was getting it off quickly. He finally was able to run out of the room.
"You will give my mother a heart attack if she thinks I'm into the yaoi scene!" he shouted.
And besides that, it was just wrong. God did not create two genders for them to forsake the purpose of a union between Man and Woman. If things continued down this road, Midori would see some of Kaini's more zealous personality traits. Zealot in the original religious meaning of the word...
(OOC: Okay, in self defense to those reading this. I KNOW that a lot of Christians aren't anti-gay and whatever. I also know a lot of them are, and are extremely rabid about it. Kaini is one of those ones who falls into the latter. The opinions of the character do not always reflect the opinions of the author!)

Unfortunately for her, Midori didn't seem to be picking up on Kaini's rising anger, and continued typing along. She seemed to be having a bit of trouble, since this wasn't a hirigana keyboard, and thus she was having to hope that her website's readers didn't mind reading in english letters.
"I'm pretty sure your mom doesn't go on my website~" Midori said. The computer had finally finished uploading the photos, so she opened up another window and started typing the URL to some photo uploading website.

If Kaini had been in a better mood, he might have facepalmed. As it was he was well aware he was all but being ignored. He looked at the wall and saw where the computer was plugged in at. He walked over and hooked the cord with his foot. After putting his hand on the wall for balance, these shoes were not the easiest things in the world to walk in.
"People at school do. And not only would my mom be alerted, but I'd get it from my priest, too! And I don't want to be associated with that sin! I'm going to unplug you if you don't stop right. now." Kaini sounded dead serious, and he was extremely angry. He was doing a half decent job maintaining it.... for now.

Midori looked up at Kaini. "There's nothing wrong with BL! In fact, if it weren't for that and porn, the doujin industry would practically collapse! Besides, it's not like I'm photoshopping another guy on top of you!" She didn't particularly know why people at Kaini's school would go on her website considering it was all in Japanese, but on the other hand, he probably wasn't the only Japanese kid there. "All I'm doing is showing people the most amazingly fitting picture ever!"
She was in a bit of a huff. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with yaoi.

Kaini would argue his point after saving his dignity. Thought the boy in the Zero cosplay.
"I warned you," he all but growled as he yanked his foot out away from the wall, unplugging the computer... and managing to fall despite being braced. At least he didn't hit his head, but with nothing like a bath curtain around to catch him, he did land rather hard on his tail bone.
And it didn't do much for any vestiges of dignity, either.

If it weren't for the semi-serious situation, Midori would have giggled as Kaini fell. At the moment, though, she was enraged, as she stood up.
"Why'd you do that!? I wasn't doing anything wrong!" Midori cried. "If you had just gotten out of the tub so I could take some pictures, you wouldn't have looked so weird!"
Of course, Midori didn't realize that was an incredibly awkward position to stand up out of. But right now she was crying.

And now Kaini felt like the world's biggest jackass. Which honestly, while he may not have been the world's biggest...
He got to his feet. He felt like he'd kicked a puppy.
"I.... I'm sorry... But I told you to stop... and I warned you... and...."
And you're crying and I don't handle crying girls well and...
He couldn't really form words. Her crying had shut down his brain in a rather stereotypical manner. The stereotype that allows crocodile tears to manipulate guys.
"Hey, um... I suppose I can let you take some pictures.... just not in the tub..."
