Airu smiled at the other who had gathered out by the pool. 'Well they are showing up at a good rate' She thought to her self as she gave a slight wave to the few who just arrived. Hearing Duchess gesture, Airu looked over to White and smiled. "Well that sound rather relaxing and amazing."

That sounded easy enough but the catch? Honestly he was hoping the catch was a food fight. He never been in one, like they really happened in high schools? Staying silent seemed to be the smartest thing to do. His arms remained cross as he paid close attention to the judge speaking at the moment.

Duchess eyes sparked with delight. "Ah! Shall I request it for you all then?" She smiled and motioned to Mew and Airu while picking up her cell phone.

Things were turning out lovely so far. She met a contestant, made progress with the judges AND would be able to attend a formal dinner. She was especially good at dinners and formal affairs.

"Oh this would be absolutely wonderful~" She squealed while chatting on the phone with her staff.

Airu laughed when Duchess had asked if her and Mew would like to join as well. "Um.. I guess I don't see anything wrong with that, if you don't mind." She smiled but still taken off by the request. Normally those weren't on her to-do list but it would be nice to do something out of the ordinary.

Damn the little rich girl got em! Nothing was a completely loss. If he deemed it he could maybe side with her. There was no way he was going to allow himself to be beat. His eyes casually surveyed everyone else during this pause. Scanning for anyone else with possible hostility for Duchess. If there were any good as him at blending in and staying cool then he would never even know. Drama could be following fast and the first round was barely beginning. That or perhaps his competitive edge was causing him to blow things out of proportion.

Padfoot listen to the announcement and paled a little. He wasn’t sure what to wear to that. He hadn’t been to anything overly fancy in his entire life. Also he wondered if he had the right clothes for it. He shook his head and decided to worry about that in a little bit. He needed to meet the judges and apologize for being so late.

He walked forward and headed for the one nearest the one he guessed as White. He held out his hand to her. “Hello, I’m Padfoot. Are you one of the judges?”

Duchess got off the phone with her staff and addressed the judges yet again. "The masseuse and therapist should be here in a few! They are very prompt and you may do with they whatever you please."

She giggled some more, honestly filled with supreme cheerfulness. "I must go plan my attire!" She suddenly remembered that her appearance mattered most in this place. She excused herself and walked back into the hotel, brushing past the masseuse and therapist. She whispered into their ears while pointing to the judges and winking before taking the elevator back up.

((Any of Duchess' staff members are free to control by anyone... except Jess. She's speshul))

Airu noticed one of the contestants walk up to them so she smiled standing up to greet them. "Hello. I take it your a participant? You must have been one of the later ones who arrived." She held out her hand to shake his. "I'm Airu. White is right here." She nodded her head to the side towards White. "Well glad you came to introduce yourself."

Airu nodded to Duchess' leave and got her attention pulled over to the masseuse who were now walking up. "Oh.. Well I didn't expect it so soon. I'm not quite in the mood for it right now." She smiled and brushed her bangs out of her eyes. "If you don't mind waiting for me after I'm done chatting here. You can go ahead and sit down out here to wait." She waved to a chair near them and watched as they did so.

Padfoot looked over to White, feel better that his assumption was right. He then nodded at Airu and shrugged his shoulders. “Ahh Turns out buses don’t come down here often at the time I left, so I got lost for a little bit…But I’m here and ready to work.” He smiled. “But I have a few questions…”

"Well..." Airu sat back down in her chair and nodded to him to grab one to bring it next to her. "Hit me, what are you question?" She smiled and reached up to take her ponytail out.

Ginger overheard the conversation between Padfoot and Airu, and sat up with interest to hear his questions and her answers. Ginger doesn't talk much, but she figures she is better off listening to others. Besides, she finds other people interesting.

“I was wondering we're supposed to wear our best for tomorrow, but I don't think I really brought...my best clothes...eheh... uhm is there any way I could borrow some things?” He said looking a little nervous for asking.

Airu blinked a couple times, taken off by Padfoot's question. She then let out a laugh and leaned back in her chair wiping a small tear from the corner of her eye. "I'm sorry." She took a big breath and sat up straight once again. "Well.. That's a new question if I don't say so myself." Airu smiled to Padfoot. "I guess I don't see harm in borrowing a few items if it's what you need. I mean.. it's about if you can put a great outfit together. Not about being rich." She shrugged and looked over to Ginger, noticing she was listening in. "Being male thought it'll be a little difficult to borrow items from the females."

Espy, sitting in the shade, overheard Padfoot's question. "I accidentally packed some of my brother's stuff...You can borrow that if you want, but I'm not sure you'd want to," she laughed softly.

(Do you really need something?)
