ROUX :: The Genius Extraordinaire! ::┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Roux was glad that Arimina promised so easily, however…Once he gets his hands on her phone he would be sure to do a little tampering, making sure that any pictures she takes of him would go down the tubes until the mission was over. Having a little insurance never hurts after all; and if she keeps her promise, she’ll never know anyways! Sadly, that idea was thrown out the window when the scientist’s phone suddenly alerted him of a text from Aoshiki. [I can see you two have been wasting precious time.. Go in the base now or I'll come over there. Trust me, you don't want me reaching you when the job isn't done.] “Looks like we don’t have the time for any of that…” Roux commented, showing Arimina the text before letting out a small sigh. The man was actually looking forward to making the bombs and striking at night (not so much dressing up as a girl), but sometimes you don’t get the luxury of waiting. This was one of those times. However, he realized there was something worse than the disappointment he was feeling: the fact that Aoshiki was watching them and that she would get a good gander of him in a dress… “Well…If I’m doing this, I might as well give it my best.” The blond mumbled, letting out a depressed chuckle. “I’m going to go get dressed. Oh, and you’ll have to do most of the talking, but I’ll pitch in with my best girl voice.” With that, the lad picked up the box and started walking down the road as if he was leaving, looking for a good place to change. He was almost tempted to ask the perky eared woman to follow and help him since he had no experience putting on such a frilly dress (or a dress for that matter), but he decided against it… He would figure it out. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

Ensign Ishe Ducasse, aka "The Creature of Shadow""It's not what I imagined, but I get to see the White Devil every day, so I can't complain. Now that's a woman...""So uh, I wonder if those two realize they're standing right out there where we can see them?" a young man glancing out a window near the front of the military base thought aloud as he spied the two unfamiliar faces going back and forth beyond the gate for quite some time. He didn't seem panicked, but legitimately found himself debating whether or not this was a situation that he wanted to get involved in. Going out and asking them himself wasn't really his style, and while he could just as easily head over to one of the Captains' offices and tell them, giving him an excuse to pay a visit to the White Devil while he was at it, well...if he did that he might just get chastised for not dealing with it himself. Anyway, the two hadn't come in yet. Though nobody really came out to the base unless they had a reason, and if he didn't know any better, he'd say the two were scoping out the base for some reason. It wouldn't be the first time somebody tried to break into the Headquarters, but with only two people against an entire military base it wasn't...really the most tactically sound plan. The real question was if they intended to come inside for whatever reason, what were they waiting for out there? Did they think this place was going to be any less guarded the later in the day it got and the more people who got up for their morning routines?
He supposed he had to make a choice, but he was rather intrigued just watching them. They didn't seem to agree, and when a box fell out of nowhere and one of them opened it up to pull out what looked like a dress...that one appearing to not exactly be a woman, well...he idly wished he had a bag of popcorn at hand. Oh yes! Decision...
"Is that guy really going to put that dress on?" he thought casually, tapping his foot against the floor and glancing up at the ceiling in thought, "I really should tell someone about this, but I don't want Captain Ria to think any less of me. ...There's no way they're just standing out there in broad daylight planning some kind of an attack, right? ...Right?" He shook his head and watched a little longer.
Maybe he should get the 4th Division's Captain anyway, if only to watch the spectacle. She could probably stand to unwind, and comedy was always a good ice breaker when you wanted to talk to someone. Not that he had trouble talking to girls, but you know, it wasn't easy getting through that thick armor to the soft interior within. Quote: Ishe Ducasse is weighing his options...

Arimina Wolfgang Arimina made a face of displeasure as she read the text from Aoshiki, but just let out a resigned sigh and smiled. "Well, I guess that's that, we'll head in as soon as we can, it wouldn't be good to make Ao-chan any more grumpy then she usually is, that would lead to a very unpleasant experience."She turned her head to look towards the base again, it didn't look like they'd been spotted yet, as no one new had come out, but you never could tell. Hopefully they could safely bluff their way into the base. "I'd say take your time getting dressed, but we probably don't have much longer before we need to get this started, so try to be quick."She leaned back slightly on her rock, looking up at the sky for a moment before sighing again at the willy-nillyness of this whole plan. If only they had had more time for planning and preparation, and were attempting this at night, things would probably got a lot smoother. She quietly spoke to herself as she started picking at the half-eaten breakfast she still held. "Ah well, make the best with what you're given, a good rule to live by. And hey, if we succeed, who knows what might be the reward"
With that, she sat and slowly ate her stone-cold breakfast, waiting for her companion to come back in his disguise, and for the mission to truly start.

ROUX :: The Crossdressing Extraordinaire! ::┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Once he found a decent enough spot to change out of view of the riff raff, or any curious onlookers… Roux proceeded to carefully take out the box’s contents and examine each item thoroughly. To his pleasure/displeasure, he found that everything was very elaborate… From the accessories to the clothing. There was even a small makeup kit, and bust enhancer to make the guise look even more believable. The scientist hated this. He hated whoever put this package together, but man he had to give them credit: they thought of practically everything. “…I think dying might actually be better.” Roux said to himself, his arms crossed in dissatisfaction. He would definitely have to curse the person who sent this gift of darkness to their grave. Sadly, the man had the sneaking suspicion that the girl who sent this was in fact immortal. Just his luck. Remembering that Arimina wanted him to get dressed fairly quickly, the blond started the embarrassing process. Twenty to thirty grueling minutes later, he accomplished it… He had actually somehow put this complicated piece on without tearing it or getting it dirty. God knows that he wanted to, several times in fact out of frustration, but he didn’t. He had new found respect for girls who wore this kind of stuff: they did not have an easy time. All that was left was the makeup… The final frontier… The point of no return; well, he was actually well past that point to be fair. In the end though, he decided to let a professional handle it. Leaving practically everything of his in the box except for his Alchemic armor which was perfectly concealed under his clothes, Roux made the trek back over to his furry eared companion with the small makeup kit in hand. Once he caught a glimpse of the familiar kimono, the alchemist suddenly felt nervous... What if she laughed? What if he just looked like a man wearing a dress like he feared? It was a little too late to get cold feet now, but those thoughts continued to circulate through the blond's mind as he got in perfect up close view for his companion. “...Don't you dare laugh, but how do I look?” The 'little miss’ asked, blushing an ever so fine hue of red as ‘she’ looked down at ‘her’ feet. "Oh...and can you do makeup?"━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Quote: Roux has gained a new outfit! It will never be used again...

Arimina Wolfgang Arimina had finished her food and was starting to get bored when she heard her companion come up behind her and call out. Turning around, her jaw dropped. It was just simply so PERFECT! "Oh. My. Goodness! You look *adorable*! I just want to take you home and keep you there!"Keeping in mind how delicate the dress might be, Arimina managed to keep control of herself and not throw her arms around the boy in a hug as she so wished to do. "It looks simply amazing, whoever (*cough*) it was that picked the dress out for you really deserves some serious praise!"She eyed the 'girl' in front of her up and down, smiling widely, an almost innocent gleam in her eyes. "You're right though, a little make-up is all you need to be truly perfect, and I do believe I'm more than fit for that job!"Standing up from her seat, she grabbed the make-up kit from the 'girl's' hands, pushed 'her' down onto the rock seat, and, standing in front of her, bent over to start lightly applying the make-up, matching Roux's natural skin tone, and emphasizing his already slightly girlish looks "Give me just a moment and I'll have you looking like the most adorable girl anywhere, ever! While I'm doing that, however, I did some thinking. We need a name for your new-found form. I was thinking Rui might work. It's similar enough to your actual name that you'll know people are talking to you when they say it."Refocusing herself on applying Rui's make-up, the wolf-girl was soon finished, adding a final touch of not-too-bright red lipstick across Rui's lips. "I knew it. You're perfect! I had planned to get you to dress like this from the start, back when I had first heard we were doing this mission together, but I never expected it to work out so well! I really need to take a picture, don't move!"With that, Arimina stepped back quickly and whipped out her phone, ready to start snapping photos of the girl in front of her, sitting on a stone looking almost doll-like.

"It's a TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" A voice shouted from a distance, though it sounded like the two hadn't been found out quite yet. The voice was coming from the far side of the two Lin Kuei opposite the Embryon Compound after all.
And it also sounded like what it was sensing was really. Really. Unnatural.
Dudes shouldn't wear skirts, bro.

    Ensign Ishe Ducasse, aka "The Creature of Shadow" Major Javik Pendergast, aka "The Gravedigger" Major Rorion Royce, aka "Major Redbird" Lieutenant Rolles Royce, aka "The Red Count" Ensign Chihari Chiyoko, aka "Ensign Chi-Chi""And all together we are...the one and only EMBRY-FORCE! ...Embry-Sentai? Which of the Royce Bros. is the Red Ranger, anyway?"Around the window where the Creature of Shadow had been watching alone now stood a quartet of men all paying attention to the two people debating beyond the gate about whether or not the smaller, more masculine(?) of the two was going to put on the dress that had fallen out of nowhere for him to wear. When he disappeared there had been quite a transfer of notes into a single pile in the hand of Ishe Ducasse, with numbers denoting that each of them was a rather significant amount of yen. Now together in one pot, it was plain to see that between the four, they were gambling. But on what? The answer came at last when the boy reemerged a girl, complete with a wig and a frilly dress that sent every single person watching from the window into uproarious laughter, high-fives, and the groans of men who were watching a large sum of their hard-earned salary being lost to one boy's inability to say 'no' to pushy women with fox ears and their mysterious, invisible companions. The sight of the teen embarrassing himself for her amusement and allowing her to take pictures, however, made the whole loss well worth the price of admission. And for one of the gathered four, it meant that the whole wad of cold, hard cash was heading to his pocket and eventually...to a long night of well-earned debauchery.
"I can't believe he actually put it on..." "Doesn't he have any manly pride?" "Look, look! It even has fake boobs!"
A round of thorough laughter echoed through the halls that might have disturbed even the offices of the Captains on the far side of the base. Ishe turned with a smile and a sigh of defeat both as he handed the pot to the last of the four men, a golden-haired blonde with a smirk that did not belie an ounce of surprise at the outcome. Had he seen or even done something like this before?
"And that's why you never underestimate the lengths to which a man will debase himself in order to please a woman, my young Padawans. Heh heeeh..."
He took the money and stuffed it into his pocket as they continued to watch the girl snap pictures of the now-crossdressing boy, laughing rather loudly to one another as they did. This...this was golden. But the fallout of their bet was not yet entirely blown over. There were laughs and jabs to be had at one another out of this, yet.
"Shut it, old man. Just because I can't fathom what depravity you've sunk to doesn't make you wise." "But he did get us this time, didn't he Rolles?" "Don't take his side on this. He's the sort of influence you don't want to take after." "I'll second that! ...Unless you want to win this bet, that is. Because I totally won this bet." "We know, we know. ...I never should have bet against Captain Buttmark, here." "Still, he doesn't make the worst-looking girl I've ever seen." "Chickadee like that would be right up my alley...if she weren't smugglin' Jimmy Dean in her garters." "Too much information!" "I've informed Captains Hand and Ria about our two guests." "Thanks, Chi-Chi...wait, what?" ...
"I said I've sent an MP to the Captains of the Second and Fourth Divisions in their offices to tell them that there are two unidentified people just outside of our walls who have been scoping out our Headquarters for the better part of an hour. Which is what you, Ensign Ducasse, should have done from the start," the Ensign smiled faintly but spoke in reproach, doing her best to be kind and yet inform him of his duties at the same time. Ishe, for his part, swallowed hard, a little impressed by her and intimidated at the same time. He hoped that she hadn't mentioned his name to Captain Ria. At least not anything bad. He had tried really hard not to do anything or let her see anything bad about him that would shape her opinion negatively. Idols were only into guys who were perfect, he imagined. And he'd been sculpting this 'cool, chill guy' persona for a while now to try and catch her eye. He didn't want 'dereliction of duty' to be added to the list, too.
"I was going to tell her right after this, Chi-Chi...but you got there first, so...well done." He praised her with a smile that was honest enough, but the others couldn't care less at this point. The show outside the window was far better than the one within.
"Do you think she made him wear women's underwear, too?" "Of course, kid. S' pretty standard fare when you're this far down the rabbit hole." "Stop teaching my brother that nonsense!"
...
"I suggest you might all wish to return to your posts, soon. I have a feeling that this may well end violently."Quote: Javik has won 5,000 yen! Rolles is displeased with Javik. Rorion is learning! Ishe has decided to get back to work... Chi-Chi has informed Captain Ria and Captain Kuro T. Hand there are two unknown people just outside the base...

ROUX :: Rui, The Crossdressing Extraordinaire! ::┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The blond was a bit surprised at the reaction he got. He was sure Arimina was going to at least snicker. Actually, he would’ve been happier if she did… Being called adorable and being praised for looking the part did not fill him with any type of pride, as a matter of fact, he felt like his pride as a man died today. He never felt so effeminate in his life until now. However, this was nothing compared to what was coming: Roux felt completely helpless as his forceful companion pushed him down in the rock seat and started applying the makeup. It didn’t help that she was getting close to him when he was already nervous and embarrassed beyond belief. All the scientist could really do was focus on the plan/conversation to try and get his mind off of the whole uncomfortable situation. “Rui will work, and let’s not call this a new form… I never want to do this again.” Rui replied, blushing from ear to ear as Arimina continued to work on ‘her’. “I mean, AHEM!” holding the last bit of his pride as a man in the back of his throat, Roux hesitantly swallowed it and did his best girl voice, “R-Rui is fine…” he aimed for quiet and gentle, no louder than a mouse’s squeak, but definitely audible enough for someone really close to ‘her’ to hear it. The lad thought it was a good impression if he did say so himself, but it was the other’s opinion that mattered. “What…?” did Arimina just say she planned this from the start? Does that mean Kimiko was in on it? When did they become so close!? And worst of all was the comment on how smoothly it all went… It appeared he didn’t even put up a fight… At this point Rui’s face went dark red. Then when Roux heard something about pictures, his eyes went wide. It took sheer willpower for him not to yell at the woman. Instead, he got up from the rock seat and tried grabbing the phone as the other was in the middle of taking pictures; if he got his hands on it, he would chuck it as far as he could. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

Ria
Ria quietly listened as one of the MPs delivered some information. There were some people failing to hide in front of the base, hm? Well, there were many reasons people might watch a military base. Some simply enjoyed the military as a whole. Other times there were reporters trying to get a scoop on something... or vagabonds planning an assault on the base. Despite its generally high body count, the Embryon was favored by the Government because it got the job done... though not always with making enemies along the way.
It was probably nothing, but vigilance was an important trait. Besides, it would do the enlisted good to see that the officers were expecting them to stay sharp. "Very well. You may return to your duties." she said, dismissing the MP from her presence. She stepped out of her office a moment later, passing by the center desk. "Reina, I'm going to go see what's happening over by the gate. Let me know if anyone else stops by my office." With that, she moved forward, pausing for just a moment to collect her things. It really was likely to be nothing, and who knew? Perhaps she'd invite them in for tea and cookies...
Wasting no time, she exited the main building and moved over towards the front gate. "How are our... guests... doing?" she asked the personnel who were still out there.

Kuatsumo Sinbad, a.k.a. "Havel the Rock" Unit 1 - 1st Lieutenant  As notice that there was something happening in the front of the base, or what little Sinbad had overheard, he felt that he should at least take a look. Going up, he had noticed that there was already others watching from afar, Captain Ria of Unit 4 being one of them. As he stood out of the main crowd, he loomed over, seeing what the main commotion was. A Girl and... what appeared to be a guy in a dress. Didn't really bother him too much, as by his past affiliation in the Seven Seas, but as why they were in front of the gate... Captain Ria asked the same question that had drifted upon his own thoughts. "Ria-ka-san, is alright if I go to our guests to see what is going on? We should always be cordial to those who seek help." Sinbad said with his usual casualness, though he was completely serious if things should be looked into. You can never suspect when things are about to go down.

Arimina Wolfgang Arimina laughed as she quickly dodged out of the way of Rui's attempt to steal her phone, and snapped one final picture before swiftly storing the offending item up her sleeve. Turning towards the base, she almost took a step back in surprise, but managed to hold herself from doing so. They had a crowd watching them apparently. When that had happened she didn't know, but she sure hoped it wouldn't interfere with their objective. "Oh boy, dear Rui-chan. We seem to have messed up a little here, we have quite the gaggle of onlookers. So much for easy in and out, this could get messy from the start."She was calm and carefree on the outside, but inside she was fuming. She knew better than to be as open as they had been in their approach, but the excitement of the first mission in a long time had caused her to be lax in the preparation stage. "Hopefully not all of them know you're not really a girl under all that, or at least that we can rationalize it away, otherwise you dressing up will have all been for nothing..."She smiled a wry smile at that, they would probably still get into the base, it would just be that much harder for them to complete their objective. She had left her arm-blades at home today, but she still had a few other back-up plans, some literally just up her sleeve. The problem would be putting them into action. "All we have to worry about is getting to this Butler Manning character, after that it should be easy enough to either rip his throat out, or slip him something when he's distracted. Just follow my lead, accept pretty much everything I say about us and roll with it, and we should be fine. This probably will be messy though, sadly."And finally, with all their preparation complete, Arimina started walking towards the base, with a final quip to Rui. "I aim to misbehave down here today, so you'd better not swallow any bugs. Now let's go get this he chu-sheng za-jiao de zang-huo"

Ria
"That's Captain Ka-san to you." Ria said, though she sounded fairly amused at Sinbad's words. "By all means, go say hello, and... show them whatever degree of welcome is appropriate." Perhaps it would be giving them cookies. Perhaps it would be throwing them in the dungeon. The Embryon was perfectly capable of doing either one, and she was most interested in seeing this situation resolved before anything too strange could happen.

ROUX :: Rui, The Crossdressing Extraordinaire! ::┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Rui pouted and crossed ‘her’ arms when ‘she’ missed the opportunity to grab the other's phone. The blond seemed to have a new side mission now: find Arimina’s phone and delete the pictures… He still couldn’t believe that the woman broke their promise so quickly. A pinky promise no less! Then again, what else was to be expected from a Lin Kuei member? Heck, If the tables were turned (and if it didn’t mean he would get killed over it) even the man would’ve done something similar. “Messed up?” Roux repeated, turning to see the small crowd of people at the Embryon gates. Honestly, it didn’t bother him much. He had no intent of hiding in the first place, not because he had a death wish, but because he wanted to appear like he had nothing to hide. One technique of misdirection was hiding in plain sight, which was what the alchemist was aiming for. The crossdressing bit would put an interesting twist on things… But one good lie could make their ‘mistake’ a convincing story. Actually, The Genius Extraordinaire already had an idea on what that story should be. “I won’t let this go to waste… If they do know about it, we tell them that the other girl couldn’t come so I, the escort, had to regrettably take her place instead. Mr. Butler Manning is just that important of a client after all.” Rui uncrossed ‘her’ arms then proceeded to hide behind ‘her’ furry companion, as if ‘she’ was embarrassed by the onlookers. “The secret to a good and convincing lie is to keep it simple and to never add more to the same story. We’re here to try to get Major Dropout as a client. We stayed outside of the base waiting for the other girl, and when we got the word she wasn’t going to show, I had little choice but to dress up to fill in the need. Failure to not get him as our client is not an option.” Roux tugged Arimina’s kimono to get her attention and nodded in agreement to trusting her to take the lead. “If you don’t like that story, come up with your own, but assume that they know I am a man and have an appropriate excuse ready for it if it comes up.”With that, Rui followed close behind Arimina as they made their way towards the base, and the group standing outside its gates. The scientist would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous, as a matter of fact, he let that show on his flushed expression. What man wouldn’t be nervous getting caught crossdressing after all? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

Kuatsumo Sinbad, a.k.a. "Havel the Rock" Unit 1 - 1st Lieutenant  "Alrighty then, time for a greeting they will never forget!" Sinbad said back to Captain Ria, or Captain Ka-san, as she herself said to prefer, before he started walking out to the guests they had. He was not wearing his standard armor that he typically wore, but rather his more casual outfit of the Seven Seas, Which was good because it wouldn't make for the best of first impressions fully out head-to-toe in armor. As he had noticed that they were approaching as well, Sinbad waved to them as he had gotten close. "Greetings and welcome! Is there anything I can do to help you ladies?" Sinbad said, with a smile, as he looked at the two of them. Hopefully they were here just for pleasantries, otherwise things would be messy.

Arimina Wolfgang Arimina quickly nodded an agreement to Roux's cover story, it would be a good reason for why they were there, however they would probably have to make some parts up on the fly, if they were questioned hard enough. She had hidden her ears and tail earlier, and while it was uncomfortable, it should save them some awkward questioning. As they got closer to the base, a large man came out to greet them, and Arimina smiled and returned his wave. "Greetings to you too! My name is Arimina Wolfgang, and my companion here goes by the name of Rui. As to if you can help us, we're here to see a certain Major Butler Manning. He should know we're coming, a call should have been made to inform him of our arrival."As she was speaking, she walked up to the man and stood calmly in front of him, explaining as she did. She gave Rui a light push to bring her out from behind her back as she introduced the two of them. "We're from a certain company that has business with Major Manning, and his father as well, and we're here to conduct a special meeting with Major Manning this morning."Arimina continued to smile disarmingly at the large man in front of her, she just hoped that he wouldn't delve too deeply into their cover story.
