As it turns out, very bad.

It was amazing just how bad this festival had turned out for Ruby. Less than an hour ago she had been just an ordinary girl out to enjoy all the games and events available. Nobody other than her sister knew what her bare body looked like. Now she was completely naked out in public where anyone, stranger or acquaintance alike, could see all she had to offer.

"Here, I'll have some pity." May said, shoving a 20 Lien card into Ruby's hand. "Not like you're carrying anything to pay with when you're like that. Now go on, you'd better hurry.~"

Clenching the card tightly in frustration, Ruby could do nothing but turn and begin to walk away. She had made the bet, she had to follow through on it. Besides, could things really get worse for her at this rate?

To her surprise though, Velvet was right in front of her, Ruby's red cloak still clutched tightly around her.

"Ruby...I..." Velvet tried to find the words but couldn't. She must feel as bad about getting Ruby involved as Ruby did at failing to help her.

Ruby gave the older girl a smile. "It's fine Velvet. Really. Just hold onto my cloak and go and get decent."

Velvet grimaced, mentally cursing her own cowardice, before giving Ruby a nod and quickly moving past her and in the directions of the dorms. Ruby wished her luck. At least her cloak had managed to stay out of May's hands.

Now her only ally here was gone with left her completely alone against the numerous crowds. While some had decided the fun was over with Ruby's loss, a great number of people had stayed behind to witness more of Ruby's humiliation. Everywhere she looked there was someone looking at her, the naked girl not even wearing shoes. The girl who had been so confident in her skills only to lose it all.

The only thing she could do at this point was ignore the stares and complete her assigned task. Just one foot in front of the other. With a cheer from the crowd, the naked teen set off into the main festival grounds.

"Hey is that girl naked?"
"Holy shit, look at that!"
"Oh my god, I thought exhibitionists were just something made up for porn."
"She must have no shame to do that. No self respect either."

If stripping in front of the crowd was humiliating, lightly jogging through the grounds was just as bad. Ruby knew that the number of people that knew what she looked like naked were increasing with every step she took.

This wasn't helped by what she was now terming her 'fans'. People who had decided to follow her from the shooting range to see the completion of her bet. Occasionally they let out a cheer ("YEAH! GO RUBY!) that made everyone in the area look at her. Not to mention most of them had their scrolls out, recording video or taking pictures of her streaking the grounds.

Luckily she still had the wherewithal to try to find out where the funnel cake stand actually was rather than just wander the grounds blindly. She saw an information stand with a map and she quickly stopped to look for the location of the stand. And luckily it was relatively close by. At least it wasn't on the complete opposite side of the grounds. Now she just had to get there.

"Ruby? What are you doing?"

Ruby turned to her left and froze as she recognized the group in front of her. Foremost was Emerald, a nice girl from Haven she had just met yesterday. But with her were also her teammates, Mercury, Cinder, and Mint (Neo in disguise).

Emerald was looking at her with surprise. Mercury was unapologetically checking out her naked body. Cinder had a look of disappointment and disgust. Mint was smirking and was already taking pictures with her scroll.

"Uh, hey Emerald. Just...doing a bet." Ruby said, feeling the awkwardness in the air.

"Running naked where everyone can see you was your bet?" Emerald asked.

"Yeah...I...I gotta go!" Ruby said, becoming so embarrassed with the conversation that she all but fled.

The group of villains could only watch as the naked girl took off running, a smaller group hot on her heels.

"Nice." Mercury stated.

Mint shot him a thumbs up as she snapped more and more pictures of Ruby's ass.

"Pathetic." Cinder said.

"Wow that's...that was awesome." Emerald finally said. "I wanted to see the girl humiliated, but I had no idea she'd end up doing it herself. Oh man, she's totally ruined after this. Sorry Cinder I'll be back!"

With that, Emerald chased after the naked Ruby, leaving her team behind.

"Well, can't blame her." Mercury said. Mint silently laughed as she looked through her collection of Ruby photos. Cinder merely sighed in disappointment. This was the caliber of her opposition?

Ruby finally arrived at the stall for funnel cake only for her heart to fall. The line was soooo long. She could see it stretching on and on!

A large board on the front of the stall read "One hour wait time". She'd have to wait in line completely exposed for an hour!?

Quickly thinking, ignoring the cries of alarm around her as people noticed the completely naked girl in front of them, she had two choices. The first was that she could walk to the back of the line and wait, completely exposed and possibly at the mercy of the crowd.

The second was that she could try and get funnel cake from someone who already got it. Though granted this would be hard. These people had also probably waited for an hour just to get the precious treat. They wouldn't give it up for just anything. And all she had on her was 20 Lien. If nobody agreed to give her any she'd only waste time and look like even more of a fool than she already was.

But time was ticking. She had to make a choice.
