Dress to impress.

You pull a long glove up to your elbow, and with that, your vestments are complete. It's quite a look, like some sort of commander. Your blue top is buttoned up by tiny metal hearts, and it has fancy trim down the center and around the collar. Your trousers match, and just like your gloves, you have long boots as well that reach your knees. Lastly, a dark cloak hangs from your neck and drapes down to your behind. A fancy belt around your waist holds your scabbard, and of course, your finger is till adorned by a signet ring of Tivera, despite your title as Demon King. It's actually incredible. Luna must have been sitting on a lot of pieces all this time, because this outfit looks expensive.

"Hey. I think I'm done," you announce. "This is actually pretty comfortable all things considered. Not as easy to move in, but I like it. How are you guys doing?"

"No peeking!" Eva shouts back.

"If you say that one more time, I will peek, and you won't be able to stop me."

She's quiet after that one.

"We have actually been mostly helping Niki with hers, but she is almost done," Amara says. "In fact, I believe that is the last of it."

"She can't dress herself?" you ask.

"Quiet!" Niki barks. "This is just a super weird outfit. What even is this? I mean, for some reason I feel really badass when I wear it, but it's not like anything I've put on before."

"Come out so I can see it," you say.

"Well, if you insist." Niki peeks out nervously, but then begins walking towards you, and she wasn't joking.

It's a suit! Not like an Earthly tuxedo, but it's unmistakably a suit of some sort. It's no dress that's for sure. You can see why it took some time. The top layer is a black, long-sleeved coat. Coming from her wrists are the ends of frilly white sleeves, because that's the layer on the bottom--a soft, thin, white dress shirt. There's a middle layer between them, however, and that's a crimson vest buttoned right below her bust. Like always, Niki shows no actual cleavage, yet somehow still finds a way to find her chest alluring. Even when it's behind her breastplate, knowing it's there is enough to be attractive.

Her trousers are do appear to be red, though they're so incredibly dark that they appear nearly black, and they're so tight against her skin that it's almost like she's wearing nothing at all. This leads into a pair of fancy boots trimmed with red and yellow--décor spiralling out from the edges like flames from the sun. This paired with golden buttons down her coat, she certainly has a regal aesthetic, though you can see where Luna mixed in her fiery Sunheart aesthetic. Her shield is still bound to her wrist, but actually accompanies the rest as a fashionable accessory, while her mace is tied to a black leather belt around her waist.

Niki scratches the faint scar over the bridge of her nose as she looks nervously to the side. "What do you think?" she asks. "I don't like how warm it is in here, and I don't like how restraining it feels on my stomach, and it also doesn't have any armour, but Luna really gave it her all."

"I think it looks amazing."

While you expected some sort of red dress or something, this is a welcome surprise. She does pull of a suit quite well, much to your surprise.

When Eva steps out next, you feel as if her attire also feels commander-esque, though you imagine that's going to be a reoccurring theme with how fashionable and regal these outfits are. She's wearing a short dress, though it's certainly more formal than simply that. While it has no sleeves, fabric extends over her shoulders almost like pauldrons, and she has pale purple gloves that cover much of her arms. Down her shoulders and the sides and back of her dress is a rich, deep shade of blue made from a reflective fabric. It's the front that's different, however, as from her upper chest down to the bottom of the dress it's pale purple instead. This matches her gloves of course, but also her stockings which cover all the way up to her thighs, providing a nice view of her squeezed upper legs--the strip of skin between a skirt and tall socks known as absolute territory. Either way, it's a dress that ends right at her thighs with a subtle frilly accent, and with cute gloves and stockings as well. Even her collar is quite fancy with golden trim to match the belt tied around her upper left leg, right around the skin. This is where her wand is sheathed, as well as a tiny pouch presumably housing her crystal star. Her feet, other than socks, are covered by dark blue heels.

In her hair is a large, golden clip shaped like a carrot, and it's interesting to see another girl out of her element. You're used to seeing Niki in armour, but you're also used to seeing Eva showing off her cleavage. Now her huge bust is restrained by the thicker fabric of the upper section of her dress as well as a band of fabric tied beneath them. As she turns around to show you the back, the skirt of her dress flutters, though not quite enough to give you a show. You do see a hole higher up, however, where her fluffy tail sticks through.

First a suit, now a short dress, and paired with what I've got, I feel like we're about to attend an important military meeting or something. I guess that's not too far off.

"Super cute," you say before she can ask.

"You think so?" Pink glows in her cheeks and she giggles. "Does it really look that nice?"

"Absolutely."

Finally, Amara emerges. She's actually quite stunning. Her outfits tend to be the most modest, though with Niki covered completely, it looks like that's no longer the case. Her wardrobe is the perfect mixture of elven and priestess. The top of her dress reaches from her left shoulder, over her bust, and down beneath her armpit, innocently teasing one of her supple shoulders. The fabric is pale pink, and it hugs down against her skin quite tightly, and it continues all the way down to nearly touch the ground. She'll have to be careful not to dirty the edges. However, there's a huge cut up one side, all the way above her hip. It shows the string of a golden pair of panties beneath, and her entire left leg is exposed. Both feet rest within incredibly decorated, heeled sandals also coloured gold. Her sleeves aren't attached--covering from her forearm to her wrists--so they're kept on by golden bands as well. The entire dress is trimmed with shimmering silver designs of spiralling branches and vines. Around her head is a thin circlet to match the rest of her subtle jewellery.

The way she stands there with the silver staff gripped in her hand makes her appear as some sort of elven goddess. All of the pieces of gold match her hair, though the pink and silver making up the majority of her wardrobe match her choker, as well as her loving personality. As you continue to assess her, she starts to blush and shift in place, though you can't help but watch that exposed part of her upper leg. Somehow, it's Amara showing off the most, whether one considers that underwear, or a bathing-suit-type accessor to the outfit. It doesn't change the fact that you can see that string, and she has some amazing, slender legs to begin with.

Now we have dress with a sexy cut up the side. Though, it still looks fancy as well. It isn't unusual for this world anyway. "Wow, Amara. Just wow."

"You're gorgeous!" Niki exclaims.

"Please." Amara slips her fingers nervously through her hair. "You are embarrassing me."

"You know, you're more like your mother every day I think," you say.

"... Oh. Oh Kyle, you saying that makes me so happy."

Eva leans in from the side and gives her a big hug, poking out her butt as she wiggles left and right--a bit dangerous given the shortness of her dress. "We love when you're happy, Amara~!"

"Clothing is so odd," Peony chimes in. "But it makes everyone really excited."

"Especially when they come off," you say back.

Niki bonks you on the head. "Don't corrupt the poor dryad girl."

"Ow! You do remember you have super strength, right?"

"And I thought you were the Demon King."

"When we enter Gobiidae, we need to make sure we behave ourselves, all right? And try not to use the words Demon King too much. It makes everyone nervous. We're trying to make a good impression. Just be calm, follow my lead, and act like a proper royal council or whatever, and we'll be fine. As long as we don't freak anyone out, we'll make a new ally today. Do you all understand?"

They nod. Things are as prepared as they're ever going to be. It's time.
