Olivia smiled and shook her head. Of course he wouldn't mind. She actually wished that he could meet her sisters. She wanted to show him off to them. "Very true. You could probably take anything they could dish out. I'll ask them to come."

[Juneberry]

"Must be hard to be in a big family, though. It seems like it might be both nice and troublesome. Does that sound about right?" Sayaku looked at his friend with a curious face. "I really can't imagine it myself. I've only ever known being in a small family in a fairly small village, and while it feels like a big family, it still has a different air.

[Honor]

"It's.... difficult..sometimes. Other times it's great. The best way to describe it would be to say that sometimes having so much family seems suffocating, but at the same time they are like air, because you almost feel like you would die without them." Olivia said, doing her best to explain. "What's it like for you, having your small family and community?"

[Juneberry]

"It's sort of the same, except probably less suffocating. It also depends where I am though. Since my sister lived with our uncle since a young age, I have to go back and forth between Norway and Japan to find 'home' which makes it a bit troubling. The farm is usually really lax and everything goes at a slower pace. I guess you could say...The farm is sort of like breathing plain air, but after a while it feels dry, like you need a drink of fresh water because there isn't enough moisture in it. The community does help with that, though. However with sis, it's more like everything's too fast for one moment. It has times where it's too moist and it feels like you'll drown in the thin air, and other times though it lets out and you feel refreshed. It's...Sort of like that, depending. Nowadays it's just me and sis, since Uncle died, so nowadays I worry more because she's home alone."

[Honor]

Olivia smiled, feeling a warmth enter her heart. "You... are a very good older brother." She told him, referring to how concerned he always was for his sister. She squeezed his hand slightly walked a bit closer to him, enjoying his body heat.

She looked up ahead, seeing the doors to were they play was being practiced. She smiled ruefully. "Goodbye Oliver. Hello Olivia." She said as they neared the doors.

[Juneberry]

"You're still Oliver no matter how they dress you up." Sayaku replied, grinning. I'd still be Sayaku even if they dressed me as a girl. Though dressing me as a girl likely wouldn't look very good." He grinned a bit, keeping the doors open as he watched Oliver walking, helping a few other students get in. Seeing Joey, he waved a quick hello. "Joey, we make it on time?"

[Honor]

Joey grinned as he saw them and rushed to their side. "Ah! If it isn't the two lovebirds! Your right on time. Come this way, I have your costumes." He said, circling behind them and placing his arms around their shoulders, leading them to the changing rooms. He handed them each their costumes. "Now go change." He commanded them with a huge grin.

[Juneberry]

Sayaku took the costume shoved at him, then entered the changing room with a nod. When he came out, he was in a suit-like outfit, however it was messily laid on him as he didn't know how to tie a tie, thus he was a bit disheveled. "What is the point of a tie anyway?"

[Honor]

Olivia entered another changing room at the same time as Saya. Her costume was maroon dress that came almost all the way to the floor. It was trimmed with white lace and had a white apron over it. It had also come with a padded bra, though Olivia had thought ahead and brought one of her own in her bag. She was thankful that they were the same size. The costume also included a hair extension piece that matched her hair color and slipped over her head to make it appear as if she were wearing a head band.

Joey grinned at Saya when he came out. "Ties look nice." He told him as he walked over and straightened his tie. "They make you look fancy." He added, giving Saya a once over, straightening anything that looked out of place.

Olivia peeked out of her door, not wanting to be seen dressed as she was. Surprisingly the clothes didn't feel as natural as she had thought they would. They felt entirely too girlie. Taking a deep breath she stepped out of the dressing room.

Joey turned with a smile, ready to see what Olive looked like. His funny retort about being too feminine for his own good caught in his throat. For a moment he was almost positive he was looking at a girl. "Looks like I choose the right person for the part." He said finally.

[Juneberry]

"I'm not fancy," Sayaku noted, grumbling. "It's too fancy, rather. I look like an aristocratic hypocrite..." The clothes were far from natural, but he'd find a way to make due. He tried to look down at the tie, but trying made his neck hurt to look at his chest. "I know it's better to act something you don't know yourself, but this is a little carried away in my books. I look like the lord of my village..."

"C'mon, it's not that bad," Flutter replied, smiling as she walked over. "It looks much more comfy than the guy's uniform at my high school back home."

"I didn't even know you went to school...And what are you doing here?"

"Yes I go to school! You went to the same school as me before you came here dummy." Flutter rolled her eyes before adding, "And I was told by the school head I could come and go to visit as wanted. Am I in the way?"

Sayaku sighed in response. He should have seen that coming. However, as he looked at Oliver, he turned a darker red than usual. "It looks good..." He almost muttered an addition of 'too good', but managed to refrain. Flutter noticed Oliver, giggling a bit.

"Those look neat! Like a really high-class uniform!" Flutter smiled easily, looking down at her own clothes. She'd since changed from that morning's attire, wearing her school clothes to feel more natural about the time of day. The red plaid skirt mixed with the brown sweater-vest and white blouse made her look far more sophisticated and lively than her normal clothes. "And it's nice and warm looking too. Unlike my clothes..."

"I don't get why that school has such short uniforms anyway..." Sayaku muttered. He looked over at Oliver, chuckling. "Isn't it a little too short for a girl? Or is that really the style nowadays?"

[Honor]

Joey looked over at Flutter in surprise, her unexpected visit catching him off guard. "I think his costume looks great." He said to her, referring to Saya. "Everyone needs a fancy outfit."

"I feel... odd." Olivia muttered, slightly embarrassed as she walked over to the group. Even in her normal every day life she had never had a fondness for dresses or skirts.

Olivia agreed with Saya. "Oh, I definitely think it's to short, but it is the style. I'll never understand why my sisters enjoy wearing short skirts." She said with a sigh.

[Juneberry]

"Of course you feel odd, you're wearing something you're probably not used to. No one feels normal in stuff their not used to. That's why my sister complained every morning about the uniform the first time she tried going to school."

"I still do complain about the length...But it's actually pretty comfy otherwise!" Flutter responded, giggling. She ran up to Oliver slightly, looking at his dress with a frown. "I want a dress like this instead... Can I have it after the play?"

"Sis, it'd be too big for you. You're a complete shrimp. Though, if it'd help you gain weight..."

"That's not nice Saya!" Flutter whined. She laughed at it afterwards, however, smiling. "If the dress makes you uncomfortable, I recommend wearing pants under it. I do that with my uniform when I can too. It makes it less nerve-wrecking and it'll feel more natural if you have something against you the way you're used to under it."

[Honor]

Olivia smiled at the siblings friendly banter, glad her strange outfit wasn't taking to much notice. "I might do just that, thanks for the idea." She told Flutter.

Joey looked over Olivia very carefully before saying. "You're sure you're not a girl?" Olivia went scarlet. SO much for people not taking much notice.

"I am completely aware of my gender, thank you." She said, doing her best not to lie. What she had said was true, she was completely aware of her gender. It was everyone else who didn't know.

[Juneberry]

"But if Oliver is a girl then would that make me a boy?" Flutter looked at Joey with a curious expression. "I mean...Only boys go to this school, so...That means if Oliver were a girl, than this would be a girl's school!"

"I think you're taking the joke a little too seriously..." Sayaku sighed. There went his idea that his sister was getting better with her logic issue. But, it couldn't have been that bad- after all, Joey had gotten through to her otherwise, hadn't he?

"I think Oliver is Oliver." She smiled. "Gender is just a scientific classification. But...You are you, in the end, right? That's what counts! Er...I think that's what Saya normally says..."

"She's right. I say it to her all the time- except I'm talking to her about whether or not she's human, since she seems to think we're not normal living creatures. I confused her by telling her a vampire's bite might help..."

"So it won't!?" Flutter glanced at her brother as if surprise, but then laughed. "Oh well. I wouldn't be able to find one anyway even if they were right under my nose. But really... Can I have the dress as a souvenir if nothing else~?"

[Honor]

Joey laughed, finding Flutter's logic rather amusing. "Of course you can have the dress afterwards. Usually it goes to the actor, but I don't think Oliver would want to keep a dress." He glanced at Olivia, wondering if she would say otherwise.

Olivia just laughed. "She can have it. Cross-dressing isn't really a hobby of mine." She said grinning at her own inside joke.

"Oh, I might be able to help you find one. Just this morning I saw Saya flying around in bat form. He really should be more discreet." She said, grinning at Saya on the last sentence.

[Juneberry]

"Wait, but if big brother is a vampire then I would be one too, wouldn't I?" Flutter looked at Oliver with a blank expression, already having found a loophole. "And if I were a vampire, wouldn't I need to drink blood and not donate a whole bunch?"

"...Joey, can you put teaching her to tell the difference between a serious comment and a joke on the invisible list of things we need to get her to understand? So far I can't figure out how she has friends in the gardening club. I've met some of those people...They don't stop the jokes ever."

"That's not true...Hana-chan is very serious." Flutter smiled. "I think it's mostly Lily and Takashi that aren't. But that's why we leave them to do the extra difficult stuff, since they just goof off." Smiling, she clapped a bit, giving a polite and graceful bow. "I should excuse myself so I don't end up making the same be your own fate though, shouldn't I? So...Um...Good luck?"

"Sis, in theatre it's 'break a leg'."

"You won't literally break one, will you? I go to the hospital enough for both of us, big brother..."

"Don't worry. Not literally."

"Okay then. Break a leg, big brother and everyone~!"
