Also, is Chief a Counter-Renegade?

>>34626671
Chief is a vampire. People say she's an Overed because they don't know how to classify her otherwise.

>>34626696
That's... huh. By any chance, is there an eclipse scheduled sometime in the next year? Because I can totally see this turning into Dawn of Sorrow, Overeds are exactly the type of people who think hiding castles in eclipse events is a thing to do.

There was a TV appearance? You're curious as to how that went. Did Angel go spewing her backstory and personal setting to the entirety of the island?

"I did not! And it isn't a setting!" She retrieves a smartphone from her bag, "Give me a moment."

Angel slides the phone over to you. There's a small fit of static, and then the scene opens up to show Angel standing in front of her Catholic school, in her regular uniform. There's not one trace of her outrageous outfit, and she didn't even color her eyes this time.

"H-Hello!" She seems stiff and nervous. Perhaps she's bad in front of cameras? Whatever the case is, she's shifting her weight back and forth, favoring her left leg then her right. Her nervous habit is making her long hair sway gently highlighting her graceful figure. It's such a shame she's doing it by accident.

The next minute and a half shows Angel walking through the corridors and explaining the various clubs and features of Mary Magdalene's School for Upcoming Young Ladies. Though it clearly isn't her intention, almost every awkward move she makes emphasizes her erotic body in some way: a closeup of her drinking from a water fountain, running across the track, bending over to pick up trash and so on. You imagine that this is what caught the talent scout's eye. The only part which doesn't make sense is the fact that the staff at Mary Magdalene's is 100% composed of Catholic Sisters. Why would they ask her to do so many clearly suggestive things?

>>34627138
"What is this softcore pornography?", Claire takes the phone from you and throws it back to Angel, "Did the Holstein ask you to review her latest exhibitionist venture?"

"It is not porn! I am not a cow! Listen, there is a man targeting me, Claire. Aren't you worried?"

"There are men targeting you every time you so much as breathe," Claire crosses her arms, "Am I to be worried any time someone is distracted by your excess fat?"

"Oh! Whatever, Claire! Cerberus, did you reach a conclusion?"

>Tell Angel the most logical explanation.

This guy is probably a scout for a porn company though, did Cap save the title for later use?

Tempted to go for #2, but she has probably made up a better one anyway.

>>34627440
I dunno, Angel needs to be taken down a peg. Not everything is out to get her, and it'll probably help her encroachment that we not delve into her crazed fantasies.

>>34627477
Encroachment goes down with human interaction. Convincing her to move in would bring it down, denuding her of her fantasies will just shake her chuunibyou worldview.

>>34627501
fair point.

we need to find her a boyfriend. She's probably shaken that Righteous Devil has one while Fallen Angel flies solo.

Or are those two still dancing around each other with no idea what to do?

>>34627561
Do you even need to ask?

>>34627501
Not exactly. Encroachment goes down from having strong emotions to several things. Being attached to your pet dog or hating your enemy to death is just as good for bringing down Encroachment as having a friend to talk to.

>>34627603

A fair point. If Azure tries to come to us for help again, we're sitting them both down and explaining it plainly for both their sakes and our sanity.

>>34627501
>denuding
Would you really do something so lewd to someone as pure as Angel?

You lay it on Angel in as direct a manner as possible. This guy probably isn't any kind of supervillain. He's just an agent looking for new girls to produce, and he probably caught that broadcast on accident. You think that he's really just interested in marketing Angel's body for things like swimwear or maybe a gravure shoot. She can probably safely ignore him unless she's interested in show-business.

"Show-business? You think I could make it?"

You didn't say that.

"Yes, do not get ahead of yourself. However scandalous your appearance may be, you still lack the dignity and grace that a proper star needs."

"A star!?"

Angel snatches up the card and holds it over her head with glee. Realizing that you're staring at her, she calms down and addresses you in her usual holier-than-thou voice.

"I thank you for your advice, Cerberus. While I am still concerned about this Fiend's true nature, I realize that he has many treasures that I may yet obtain. I must bid you farewell for now, my fellow walker in darkness!"

Angel dashes away, intent on finding her new life. Claire takes a seat next to you as Chief walks in from the kitchen with a tray of cookies.

"That girl is heading for heartbreak, is she not?"

Yes, she is, Claire.

--

"I was hired! I'm going to be an idol!"

What?

Angel invited the three of you out to lunch, eager to tell you the good news.

"I..Idol?" Chief drops her fork, letting her ketchup soaked meatloaf fall to the plate, "But you promised me you wouldn't push your cover after you started your magical girl act."

"It is not an act! I am both the Fallen Angel, protector of this city, and now I shall be an idol in my private life. God's blessings upon me are almost too kind."

>>34628112
That's fine, different strokes and all that, but the thought of Angel getting drugged up and selling her body has my rock hard.

>>34628161
Gangbang, guro, and NTR are the devil's porn anon.

Looks like you want to keep quiet for now and let the girls talk amongst themselves. That's cool because you still have food to eat.

>You're suspicious of how quickly that went.

>>34628238
Captain has his priorities straight.

>>34628161
Guess I just can't see the appeal. Then again, I'm convinced that pure unconditional love is more disquieting than hardcore porn, so it could be that I'm off in that regard.

You're a bit late.

>>34628433
You keep quiet and take a bite of your stuffed steak. Damn, not even this compares to home cooked food any more. You feel like your taste buds have been ruined...

"Fallen Angel, we at the UGN will gladly support your career choices, no matter what they may be...however, being an idol and a vigilante at the same time is inviting trouble. You don't even wear a mask!"

"I agree with the Chief. You are risking discovery simply because you wish to put yourself on display. How shameful..."

"Oh ho ho!" She cackles, putting a hand to her mouth, "You two are simply jealous of my shining beauty. It is natural that others seek to gaze upon my form and hear my heavenly voice. Unlike you, I am the epitome of a desirable woman. Now then, if you will excuse me, I must prepare for my début. I am to be part of the Star of New Zanzibar beauty contest, which I will no doubt win!""

"Angel, you're being selfish and rude! Now see here-"

"See? See what?" Angel gets defensive. Looks like she was really invested in the idea of being famous,"I'm sorry, I looked right over your head, Chief. Or maybe I just didn't want to see your deathly pallor. You should probably look into some tanning lotion."

Chief looks down and trembles, but Claire slaps her hand on the table.

"This is going to your head, Angel. You should apologize to the Chief."

"Nothing has gone to my head. I'm just finally being recognized for my beauty, where as you have been ignored. After all, you may have a nice body, Claire, but what man wants a woman who can't smile? It's no wonder Cerberus hasn't lain with you."

Angel gets up and excuses herself, laughing the whole way. Meanwhile, you're left with Claire and Chief, each radiating an immense murderous intent.

>Try to calm them down.

>>34628818

Wow that was harsh and spot-on

>>34628818
If we're going to have to chase after Angel, can we at least play it off as teaching her a lesson? Something, anything to avoid the shenanigans this is going to cause with Chief and Claire.

>>34628818

Suggest that Chief and Claire beat Angel at her own game by entering the beauty contest themselves.

team competitions
angel + rin vs. chief + claire

If they're that upset about Angel being in this stupid beauty contest, can't they just enter as well? You think both of them are good looking girls, so they should have an easy time at least getting into the top ten or something like that. Neither of the girls look up at you, but you can feel their menacing aura recede somewhat.

"You think we would do well, Wild Card?" Chief mumbles and pushes the food on her plate around.

Sure, Chief and Claire are two of the prettiest girls you know. You take pains to not bring up how you only know a handful of girls anyway.

"If...if Darling wants to see me on stage, then I have no choice but to compete."

You never said you wanted to see her on stage. You just think she would do well. Chief and Claire get up with a start, knocking their chairs over in the process.

"It's decided! We will compete in this Star of New Zanzibar pageant and teach Angel some humility!"

"Yes. Let us go to its registration office immediately."

--

"What?! We need a sponsor?"

The receptionist is taken aback, and she tries her best to keep smiling politely. She explains that the entry fee is actually quite steep, and so it's almost impossible to enter without a sponsor of some kind, preferably several. She goes on to point out that most talent agencies work with many such sponsors, which is one of the services they provide.

"If it is money you need..." Claire pulls out a sheet of paper, then folds it behind behind her back. You can see it begin to transmute into a fat stack of cash, but Chief quickly interrupts her.

"We'll do this legitimately, Claire. There's no need for you to generate personal funds. I'm sure there's a talent agency willing to take us on!"

Somehow you doubt that.

>You have all that money you never spend. You could sponsor them if you wanted.

I'm betting he'd fold under her withering glare.

You sigh and pull out your wallet. The bank card you've been using to make all your purchases for nearly a decade now is practically stuffed with cash. All those welfare checks that go nowhere and your extremely inexpensive lifestyle has led you to have quite a bit of cash you're sitting on. It will break your bank, but you have enough to sponsor them this one time. Just to get them to calm down, after all. You can't have them being grumpy forever. The receptionist is startled, but accepts your money and hands you several forms to fill out. Chief and Claire take their entry applications and fill out the relative information faster than you thought was humanly possible, while you struggle with filling out your sponsor form.

You manage to fill the blanks with most of your personal and home information, but you struggle with trying to think of a name for the 'agency' you represent. At first, you think about just leaving it blank, but Chief pops over your shoulder.

"Thinking of what to call yourself? Why not something beautiful and elegant...White Rose productions?"

You don't think...

"How pretentious," Claire interrupts, "Why not something cute like Heartstopper Agency?"

That's more ominous than cute, Claire. The receptionist coughs, and you feel like she's grown tired of your presence. You quickly write something down on the paper and turn it in. The threee of you leave the office, with the two girls practically skipping out.

"So," Claire falls in line with you, "What did you decide to name yourself?"

>White Rose Productions
>Heartstopper Agency
>Wild Card Talents

>>34631216
Come now DXR, there's a fine line between teasing the girls and just being mean. Besides, calling Claire a bitch is what Seven's here for.

>>34631274

I see. Too bad we don't have the werewolf lady to call that.

>>34631463
You're forgetting vampire lore 101. Vampires can turn into wolves. This makes vampires a kind of werewolf. A werewolf is a mix of human and wolf. Dogs are a different kind of mix between human and wolf.

Chief is a vampire. QED Chief is a female dog.

>>34631542
Solid logic

>>34631542
Try it on the chief and see her response.

>>34631542
You present a soundly argued logic, anon, even without going into the cultural origins of the Vampire myth across Europe and Asia. You are awarded this honorary PHD in Vampire/Werewolf Anthropology for your enthused, researched, and cited argument in defense of your Thesis, Chief is a Bitch.

That said. I like Wild Car Talent better.

>>34631584
That wouldn't be funny. Explaining it to Claire is funny.

>>34631216
Out of curiosity, good DM, what was your original plan for the arc to go in?

Wait a second. We are the werewolf.

So we are the bitch.

>>34631542
>Vampires can turn into wolves
Wait what.

This is not the King's Bounty video game.

>>34631611
I'm inordinately proud of this.

>>34631658
It's one of the classic vampire powers. Hell, it's even in Dracula.

>>34631796
Then the modern vampire hates werewolf meme is just a new invention?

>>34631906
Yes.

But for that matter, modern vampires are also a new invention.

>>34632051
Please don't tell me twilight or An Interview with a Vampire created it.

>>34631906
Well, I'm pretty sure a more knowledgeable anon will correct me, but I'm pretty sure vampirism is something like a metaphor for psychopathy and lycanthropy for schizophrenia... And now that I think of it I don't know of any classic myths where the two ever actually interact. So who knows.

Just don't think any story in which a werewolf has been domesticated has any reflection in the old stories. Wolves, rabid or healthy, are always wild (hence "Wild" Card).

>>34631906
Kind of. Werewolves and vampires have the same origins in medieval superstitions about evil animals, namely bats and wolves. People thought they were agents of Satan, so people with connections to those animals were the same. Vampires came to emphasize the seductive and alluring night terrors, while werewolves became the destroying ones.

Same idea that animal-like humans are monsters. So yeah it's a new idea, because they were one and the same originally.

"Oh really? Isn't that a bit conceited?"

You just tried to think of something snappy. You don't have any mind for this kind of stuff.

"Well, if Darling likes it, then I will support it as well."

"So," Chief begins, "The contest will take place over the course of a week. During that week, the contestants will go through various competitions. These competitions will reduce the contestant pool from one-hundred and twenty seven all the way down to ten on the final day of the competition. Those final ten will have one last contest, based on a culmination of all subjects."

Sounds fairly standard.

"Yes," Claire picks up where Chief left off, "However, we have run into an issue."

And that is?

"Neither of us have any idea how to compete in one of these. We assumed that a beauty contest simply entailed standing in front of a crowd and being judged. We were not prepared for an extended contest, based on singing, dancing, and various other skills and talents. We will need to prepare costumes, acts, props..."

Claire and Chief start chattering to each other, trying to figure out how to best raise their appeal. You check out the flier that Chief was reading from. Sure enough, most of the rules are what she said. Basically, you need to make large appeals to the audience throughout the majority of the contest, since they act as the primary judges. You can see why Angel's idol career is going to use this as a launching point.

Well, you said you'd help out, so you try to think of some ideas.

>They should get their names out early, start getting that public appeal. Lots of public events.
>They should practice in private. Become the dark horses that leave an impact on the scene.
>There's always cheating.
>Something else.

Sorry for the delay. I got sidetracked really badly.

>>34632219
And the idea one could transform into the other represent how the seductive could easily be destructive?

>>34632100
Course not. Bram Stoker's Dracula codified vampires. What Interview did that Twilight also did was recodify and repackage the vampire for modern popular consumption.

Actually not sure about werewolves.

>>34632254
>>They should practice in private. Become the dark horses that leave an impact on the scene.
They aren't planning on making a real name for themselves, they just need that short lived attention

>>34632269
That actually makes a lot of sense.

>>34632100
Well, modern vampires came with Bram Stoker (who was "inspired" by works of his time to create his own original vampire lore pls don't steal), then modern modern vampires came with Dark Shadows, which is around the time vampires became romantic figures. Anne Rice popularized that a few years later.

>>34632254
>>They should practice in private. Become the dark horses that leave an impact on the scene.
I just wanna see angel flip the fuck out when they turn up, at this point.

>>34632254
>>They should practice in private. Become the dark horses that leave an impact on the scene.

>>34632254
>>They should practice in private. Become the dark horses that leave an impact on the scene.

Dude...there is no way Chief or Claire will ever, EVER be appealing to the muggles.

>>34632254
>They should practice in private. Become the dark horses that leave an impact on the scene.
We're here to win an argument. That's all.

>>34632311
>Dark Shadows
The soap?

>>34632260
Yep.

>>34632254
Make them the dark horse. They can't compete against Angel on her own turf, especially since Angel has a head start woth her fanclub.

Also, can we visit Yugo? I suspect if we package this as an example of Overed/human integration we can get some official support in this.

>>34632100
Well, I'm not sure if Anne Rice started the how madero take on vampires, but she definitely mainstreamed it.

As for Twilight, I haven't read them but I got roped into watching the first film during a cousin's birthday years ago. Sparkling vampires...massive guilt complexes...I'm just glad that seems to have been the end of an arc and that the pendulum is swinging back toward the monstrous interpretation.

>>34632359
>Also, can we visit Yugo? I suspect if we package this as an example of Overed/human integration we can get some official support in this.

Oh this will be great. I am all for it,

Even involve Hawke in it.

>>34632360
>>34632311
>>34632269

I did not realize Interview with A Vampire was so popular.

>>34632340
Yes.

Practice in private it is.

>>34632424
Where do you think Vampire the Masquerade got its major inspiration?

But yeah, Interview was the Twilight of its day.

>>34632424
Dude, it was the Twilight of its day.

>>34632478
Reading the Wikipedia article, you can already see the critics seething over it like they do over twilight.

>>34632469
Don't forget talking to Yugo. They're going to have to mindwipe everyone involved anyway, might as well get their people in place early.

>>34632515
Whose overed ability conduces itself to a beauty contest the best?

We know fluffy tailed aunt will win anyways.

>>34632512
I like to think the reasons to criticize Twilight are better. Anne Rice did not refuse to study vampire lore, nor was she inspired to write Mormon vampires.

>>34632478
Now you mentioned it, Masquerade read surprisingly like Anne Rice's work.

>>34632545
Blood servants. Great for ballot stuffing.

Actually it's probably Solaris.

>>34632614
We have a backup plan then.

>>34632577
Mormon vampires?

As in vampires who worship Jesus who hid a new testament in the new world?

Sometimes I am very tempted to read Twilight.

>>34632254
Random idea!

Talents
>Chief is really Victorian, so see if she has any skill with painting (if not, lace the paint with her blood before the competition so she can cheat a bit)
>Claire is a superior markswoman. See if we can have a shooting gallery set up for her that she can run throw (make sure she's comfortable running - and maybe doing some tumbling - in heels)

Dance
>Chief, either some classic ballet or ballroom type display
>Claire, something very modern where she has an excuse to put on a light show

Swimsuits
>Make sure Chief is wearing a bikini instead of some highly conservative one piece
>Make sure Claire is wearing at least a bikini

Costume/persona ideas
>Claire needs a pair of glasses to sell a no-nonsense librarian/assassin persona (will explain lake of smiling
>Chief...I'm out of ideas.

>>34632672
>Mormon vampires

Autocorrect is a hell of a drug...

>>34632760
>>Make sure Chief is wearing a bikini instead of some highly conservative one piece

But we need the ojou sama image. Chief should have as classy as possible swim suit.

>>34632760
>Make sure Chief is wearing a bikini instead of some highly conservative one piece
>not putting Chief in a sling bikini

>>34632760
>lack of smiling

Not lake. My bad.

>>34632760
Gothic lolita for Chief maybe? Vampire look?

>>34632801
Frills, everything Chief wears should be properly frilly, especially her swimsuit.

Though Chief has a pretty good shot at this, she's noted at being exceptionally charismatic so if we make sure she's looking good and can do all the talent portions then she should be alright.

>>34632873
Can she sing?

I bet she can't sing.

We will do a lip dub.

You think it would be best for them to keep themselves a secret for now. Maybe they can play the underdog or the dark horse when they get out there. But they also seriously need to practice. You've never heard them sing and to tell the truth, you're a little scared of that. Not to mention that both of them seem to have a rather stunted sense of style in most cases, favoring their uniforms or horribly outdated clothing. You have your work cut out for you if you're going to help them win this.

Funny. You've already forgotten why you were doing this.

"I suppose you're right, darling. It would be best if we kept ourselves hidden away for the time being. We cannot afford to let Angel discover us so early."

"What will we do, Wild Card? I haven't the foggiest about how to progress."

You're not sure yourself. You think, for now, it would be best to talk with some more experienced women and find some place to practice that Angel won't be spying on. After all, this is supposed to be a surprise.

--

"You're doing what?"

Yugo folds his hands and leans forward. A curious expression crosses his face, and you can't tell if he's about to laugh or shout. You explain to him everything that's going on and he sits back in his chair.

"...The Chief still has the authority. If this is what she wants to do, I can't stop her. So what did you want from me?"

You think you might need some of his support going forward. Just a few extra hands to help out with everything. Yugo frowns and runs a hand through his unkempt hair.

"Okay, but on a few conditions. One: You must prevent any Renegade powers from being used. Two: You should use this as an event to further Overed and Normal coexistence. Three: Someone better be wearing a bikini."

...Fine.

"Great. You said you also wanted to borrow one of our agents? Who was it again?"

>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.
>Shining Void knows enough about looking sexy.
>Someone else.

>>34632788
What was the original word you intended to use?

>>34632914
>>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.

Even more nothings can go wrong here

>>34632914
>>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.

Come on, we know this is going to win.

>>34632914
>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.

>>34632914
>>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.
She needs something to do

>>34632914
>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.

Need we any other option?

>>34632672
Hahaha, unfortunately no. I'm given to understand that Edward is a very uncomfortable pair of underwear away from being Joseph Smith.

>>34632760
We go full loli goth for Chief. We don't tell her what it's called, but she's tiny and looks good in black, it's perfect for her. Just keep the number of frills down to a sane level and she's set.

Claire's a bit harder, because she could probably pull off any costume. Maybe make that her theme? Ever-changing idol, every man's dream, just for him?

>>34632868
Oh I like it. She is kind tiny, so I think it would work. Maybe have the Chief and Claire play off each other: Chief as a Upperclass Goth Loli and Clair do something more modern and down to earth.

>>34632914
>I pick the lesser alcoholic of the two.

I may have forgotten which that actually is though...

>>34632914
>Shining Void knows enough about looking sexy.

Really? Then how can she never get a date? She will just date rape the audience and sabotage the contestants in jealousy.

>Lunatic high
She will sabotage everyone, but it will be amazingly hilarious.

And she is going to win.

[x] Lunatic.

Or better -

[x] Boy instructor after Rin - ask him to cross dress

>>34632914
>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.

Fuck and Yes.

>>34632914
Lunatic High. Void's going to suggest drugging the judges or seducing them or "seducing" them, while Lunatic High can be convinces the challenge means she has to play by the rules.

>>34633015
>date rape
That's such a strong term. It's more like inferred consent.

>>34632914
>Rin

Wild card!

>>34632914
>Perflat drunkard fox lady christmas cake
Hell yeah, motherfucker.

>>34632914
>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.
we don't see wnough of best girl

>>34633069
No, it is more hilarious to see angel pulling the devil around to these events and forcing her to perform on stage awkwardly in fear.

>>34633081
Are all the older women flat?

>>34632914
>You're pulling Lunatic High out of retirement.
We will teach Chief and Claire the power of black-out-drunk appeal.

>>34633121
You're right, we always need more Seven. Offer to let her take pictures. Remind her that this means front row seats to any mistakes Claire and Chief make.

>>34633081
Wait, fox lady is flat?

>>34633200
I agree, We really could use more Diablos.

>>34633152
Void is E cup

>>34633212
Pettan~

IIRC Seven is the only one with a flatter chest.

>>34633224
Yes that's right, thanks

>>34633152
No, just the one.

>>34633212
>>34633232
And only by a little bit since both are AA

>>34633232
A drunk flat chested fluffy tail Christmas Cake.

How can she be so perfect?

ok

so

you want to bring in the lady who taught Claire everything she knows about sex appeal, and use her as their coach.

>writing

>eating a spinach feta pizza

>>34633297

Good taste

>>34633297
Why did you explicitly give us that option!

>>34633232
Pettan, pettan, tsurupettan

>>34633277
Because she's not real

>>34633314
They are tears of happiness.

>>34633297

>>34633345
Oh sweet jeebus, what have we done?!

Guess its gonna be a wild ride.

>>34633297
>you want to bring in the lady who taught Claire everything she knows about sex appeal, and use her as their coach.
This plan is literally perfect

>>34633297
Lesser of two evils. We need some one who nows what appeals to normalfags and Lunatic has presumably jumped a few peoples bones. While they are you know. Conscious.

>>34633345
Tell us straight up: would bringing Void in have been any better?

>>34633394
That is true. However, it might have something to do with fluffy tails.

>>34633408
She wouldn't have been worse.

>>34633394
She uses an advances form of fluffy tail brainwashing to attract her marks. Still better than dosing someone with Ecstasy but only a little.

>>34633453
Well that's a yes.

>>34633443
Possibly. Though I will say her teachings aren't necessarily ineffective. I would have fucked Claire senseless were I in the Captain's shoes.

>>34633488
You don't do that to your childhood friend anon, there are standards to uphold.

>>34633453
So we've got the sex appeal portion of the contest on lock, but we're throwing the talent portion?

>>34633453
Equally bad decisions all round

>>34633471
Yeah, but Void can sachet throw a dance routine. Lunar is pretty discoordinated.

>>34633488
Claire's probably a dead fish in bed anyway

>>34633546
>we're throwing the talent portion?

Couldn't Claire use her Nuemann super skills to learn the piano or something? And if Chief happens to be able to sing, well that would be a great combo.

>>34633546
>throwing the talent portion

Fuck no. Angel wins the appeal portion hands down, we need to win (or at least take second place) in this contest to recoup the entrance fees. So we're winning the talent portion.

>>34633662
Angel may have huge tracts of land, but who knows, maybe that's not what the judges are looking for.

>>34633546
Claire is utterly going to stomp the talent portion. She's a Neumann, she can pick up skills in minutes.

We just need to turn her emotionless face into a charm point to get her appeal up, it shouldn't be too hard since she already has two D cup charm points.

>>34633600
She could. What do you think Luna is going to focus on though?

>>34633662
I'm not saying we try to lose the talent lortion, I'm saying we're more likely to do well in the appeal portion with Luna as coach.

>>34633778
>>34633778
How did other kuuderes get their appeal points?

>>34633823
Luna is going to couch chief.

I would love to see the result of that.

>>34633828
Give her glasses.

>>34633778
>We just need to turn her emotionless face into a charm point
...Half mask. Something feathery covering the top half of her face. So long as she doesn't talk (oh god we're dead) we can play her off as a mysterious cool beauty.

>>34633869
Bam

>>34633881
A beauty that curses like a drill sergeant has its appeal too.

>>34633828
Mostly by melting at the right time.

So we have her on an earpiece and Captain compliments her when we need her to turn to goo.

>>34633928
Beautiful.

>>34633928
That could get dangerous. She may develop an immunity to our rare powerword: praise.

What I am saying is, amazing idea anon. Go for it.

>>34633928
This and glasses.

Well, how do we fix chief now?

>>34633962
Goth lolita is not very popular.

We need a tsundere vampire loli appeal.

>>34633962
Teach her to slut it up a bit?

>>34634003
How can we portray that on stage though?

>>34634008
>Sluts
>Popular in the idol industry
No. This guy >>34634003 has the right idea.

>>34633917
Gap moe doesn't work in these kinds of contests in the real world.

....

I have just spotted a fatal flaw in my reasoning.

>>34633962
Turn her into Rin. Fail moe except tsundere.

>>34633962
Agree with the glasses for Claire.

For Chief? Find her the right manga to read. That girl loves having study material.

"It's been a while, boy!"

Lunatic High drags you along, keeping you in a headlock as she swerves towards your house. She still reeks of alcohol, and her cheeks are rosy pink. Her unfocused eyes are bright and full of excitement as she starts questioning you about daily life.

"I see!" she sounds genuinely interested, "So everything's going great! I was worried, boy, cause you just don't seem like you have a sack sometimes. But you did screw her, right? I mean the girl's probably going nuts!"

You tell her that you don't know what she's talking about.

"Claire, boy. My baby sister! Every time I see her she's like a starving woman. Please tell me you finally gave her a good spanking, if you know what I mean."

You have spanked her, but you haven't put anything inside her.

"Oh come on, boy," Luna frowns, "Don't be such a chicken. I don't know what you heard but it's really not that hard to make a girl feel good. Claire's really sensitive anyway, so she'll probably lose it the moment you-"

"Instructor Luna," Claire throws open the door and embraces her mentor, "I missed you."

"Same here, Claire...hey, did you grow?"

Claire steps back and puts a hand to her breast.

"Yes. Almost three centimeters. I've been doing the daily massages like you suggested for almost six months now. I am pleased to see that the results have paid off."

"Ha!! I'm getting jealous!"

You decide to break up this little reunion and...

>Ask Lunatic High to get to business.
>Call Chief and ask her about her plans.
>...Three centimeters? Claire doesn't look any taller.
>Something else.

>>34634209
Three centimeters is a little over an inch.

>>34634066
Which contest had a gap moe winner? All of them?

>>34634228
Don't do this DXR. If Claire turns into cowtits I'll cry. And not tears of joy. ;_;

>>34634228
I'm aware. Somehow I thought Claire might have been already at 88cm and thus qualify for bakunyuu status with her new growth.
