Be a Model! (Kiersa and Mary)

Spoiler:

Kiersa was sat in her room, reading through the tomes she had managed to bring back from the ruined convent when she’d retrieved Avalon with Aayla and Cirven when Mary burst in and just started to drag her out. “H-hey! M-Mary!” she cried out as she struggled in vain against the stronger girl’s grip. “W-Where are we going?!” asked the nun in a slight state of panic, noticing that passing guild-members were giving the pair a few funny looks.

Kiersa sighed and resigned herself to whatever fate it was that Mary had in store for her, knowing that the pink haired girl was probably taking her out on a job or something, or had found some new donut she wanted her to try out with her…

She just hoped that those were indeed the cases and it wasn’t because the demon inside of her had taken over and was going to try and ritually sacrifice her, or defile her or some other thing that demons liked to do. The nun gave a small squeak at the terrible thoughts running through her head.

Mary immediately came into the library upon picking up the job flier. She couldn't believe it! A modeling job? This was perfect for the 2 nuns, but especially Kiersa who needed to burst out of the shell for once. She grabbed Kiersa by the wrist and simply started to drag the nun to the teleporter. Mary said, "Kiersa theres a job that requires 2 girls to help brink ecosystem awareness to people! We must protect the natural world that the Maker himself made us." They were soon through the portal and into the open forests of East Magnolia.

Mary's heartbeat was racing in excitement, it was one of the few things she always wanted to do. She walked for another 5 minutes until they had arrived, it was a big modeling show complete with the walk, lights and people. Mary laughed, "I always wanted to be a model and this is our chance to have fun! We might even get on a cover magazine!" Mary loved teasing Kiersa's shy nature.

Kiersa gave a small oh sound as Mary explained what the job was. Protecting the environment that the Maker had given the world did sound like a worthwhile cause… And Kiersa was gladdened by the fact that Mary was, sort of, continuing to walk the path of the Maker despite the whole demon thing. She just hoped that the job wasn’t taking place in the Spooky Forest or somewhere similar… The nun had had just about enough of Vulcan’s for a while after running into them so often on her jobs.

The nun sighed as she discovered the horrible truth of their job. “Mary!” she groaned before pouting at the older girl. “Y-You n-never s-said it w-was… th-this…” she said, blushing furiously as people walked around the area, getting their pictures taken in all sorts of attire, even a few that seemed to be lacking quite a bit of it. Why does Mary keep dragging me into these things…

Mary just laughed merrily as she dragged Kiersa even further in. The inner demon pushing the nun closer and closer in as she finally pushed Kiersa through the dressing room to reveal cosplay clothing. Mary explained, "I would not have accepted this job if it  had us walking on stage wearing almost nothing. Have a little bit more faith in me Kiersa. Jeez..." Mary pushed in, introduced herself to the sender of the job and finally started rummaging through the different clothing. She hummed the entire time since she had a near fascination with dresses and costumes of all sorts, but needed to find one that matched Kiersa.

It was destiny when she found it and made her laugh as well. The demon immediately grabbed a set of bunny ears and placed them right on Kiersas head. Mary smiled, "They look perfect on you! You should go in as a bunnygirl like you were always destined to be." Mary immediately rummaged through the rest of the uniform and placed it in Kiersa hands with a demonic grin on her face.

Kiersa mewled pitifully in protest as Mary plunged her deeper into this place. She seriously began to wonder if the demon inside of Mary was in control right now, and trying to tempt her down a dark path of perversion or something… Until her friend tried to reassure her… and somewhat succeeding with the reveal of the costumes. The nun let out a soft sigh before squeaking as Mary put something onto her head.

Her hands went up to explore the new appendages resting on her cranium, blinking at their form and also Mary’s words. “B-Bunny girl?” she asked softly before she was dumped with the rest of the costume. She looked it over, before heading over towards a changing room and trying it on. It felt a little itchy, till she recalled what Mary had said before about the job being about promoting the ecology. The girl then smacked her forehead as she recalled reading about this job on the notice board back in the guild. “Eco-friendly theme, famous designer…” she sighed before gingerly stepping out, the heels scarily enough fitting perfectly.

Aside from the itching of the materials, it seemed to hug her quite well, the nun blushing at her state of attire.

Kiersa Costume:

Mary whistled as she went through all the clothes and found nothing that appealed to her. It was going to be a helpless cause trying to decide on something, maybe she should have kept the bunny suit for herself. Mary shook the notion of that and proceeded to look. Soon Kiersa got out of the dressing room and looked cute. There was a twinkle in her eyes on how cute it looked on her, but it looked uncomfortable. So helped adjust the clothing so it fit better, made it less itchy. Mary comforted Kiersa, "I have always been jealous of you. You always look so cute in these clothes..." She then stepped on her tiptoes and kissed Kiersa in the forehead to comfort her like the Convent did.

This time it felt different, like if a weight was lifted from her chest and bit of feeling of warmth. Why did she feel that way? Mary blushed as she turned away, many questions filling her head. She then tried to change the subject, "S-so I chose your cosplay, so it's only fair that you choose mine..."

Knowing Kiersa she was going to regret it...

Kiersa let Mary fix her costume, still blushing even after she kissed her forehead. She gave her bottom an experimental wiggle, the weight of the cotton ball tail feeling strange to the nun. Then there were the floppy ears resting on her head. Although she did have to admit, a part of her did enjoy the outfit. Then came Mary’s words and she blushed furiously whilst shaking her head. “I-I’ve o-only e-ever w-worn my r-robes though…” she said before a thought crossed her mind as she pouted at Mary. “D-Did… d-did y-you d-dress m-me u-up i-in m-my sleep?” asked the nun hesitantly, her mind trying to figure out where on earth she would have been able to get a hold of a costume like this, let alone dress her in it.

When her friend suggested that she find her a costume to wear as well, the nun took a look around from where she was, before gently walking over towards a costume hidden amongst the others. She picked it up and went over towards Mary. “U-Um… w-well… s-since I-I’m a b-bunny… m-maybe… y-you c-could b-be… u-um…” she tentatively said, as she held up the jingling costume. “A k-kitty?”

Mary's costume:

Mary sweatdropped as Kiersa started to put clues together! How was she going to explain the time she switched her apple juice with a sweet wine as a child. Mary had to spend the whole day from the nun's finding out what happened to her. A harder task than one though, but lucky for Mary she seemed more interested in her putting on the cat cosplay. Mary quickly said, "Okay I would love to put thin on!" Mary quickly rushed to the dressing room before more questions were asked. She sighed quietly as she took off her hat and donned the dress, cat ears and tail. Adjusting the clothing and hair so it looked right, she stepped out with a small wag of her tail and a "Meow."

Mary pulled the 2 together so that they'd look at each other in the mirror, they looked so cute together. Life felt so short now that she was being demonically possessed by Ursula. Why couldn't life go on as normal like this? She temporarily bowed her head in sadness.

The nun watched Mary run off far too quickly for her liking. She crossed her arms and pouted in her "sister's" direction before sighing and shaking her head. "Mary, Mary, Mary..." she muttered below her breath. She'd always been a more adventurous girl than Kiersa had when they were younger... and this modelling job only went and proved it further.

When Mary returned and made a cat noise, the bunny girl nun couldn't help but giggle. When they stood side by side in the mirror, she had to admit they did look cute together in these costumes. Kiersa turned to smile at Mary when she saw her head bowed. She frowned before recalling Katherine's words. "Mary... let me help..." she said softly before she utilised the advantage she now had of being in the heels the costume came with, and kissed her friend on the forehead, her own eyes closed as she braced herself for the demonic soul split to transpire.

Mary eyes opened wide in surprise because of what Kiersa did, but felt nothing. There was no demonic split, no dark and evil corruption. It was just a normal kiss that one gave to calm nerves and it worked. Mary gave a sigh of relief, before smiling with her friend. Mary simply stated, "You may not think it Kiersa, but you have always been the stronger nun..." Mary sighed, but then mischievously smiled again as she pulled the 2 of them towards the stage. The girl not knowing what Kiersa did just wanted to the of them to have fun.

Mary said, "If us 2 are going to show of our cute selves, we might as well do it together like sisters. Don't you agree?" Mary would pull Kiersa on the stage and started waving to the people that were on. This was not about anything malicious, it was simply having fun. And there was nothing better than having fun with you friends and family.

Kiersa blinked as she felt... nothing. No surge of energy, no rush of adrenalin, no sensation of demonic power... just... nothing. She blushed a little at Mary's words, her mind still trying to figure out where she had gone wrong. The nuns mind was not to tarry long on the conundrum however as Mary began to drag Kiersa towards the stage. Kiersa blinked before remembering that this was a modelling job, and therefore... Her eyes widened as the two of them were on stage in front of so many people.

The nun dressed as a bunny girl went absolutely crimson as she saw the flashes of lacrima cameras going off from the crowd, her entire posture speaking of the embaressment of being seen like this. So much so, that she tried to hide behind Mary, which only made her blush even more so as the crowd gave large collections of d'aww's and laughs at her antics.

Mary giggled at Kiersa's antics, she was so adorably shy. However this was a job so it was time to put up a show for the cosplay lovers. She grabbed Kiersa, stood on her tiptoes and kissed Kiersa on the forehead to calm her down. Another series of awes rang out as more pictures were given out, but this kiss felt different... familiar. It left the faintest tingling sensation to Kiersa, but it wasn't malignant. It felt very familiar, but that was because Kiersa had been using the magic very recently...

Mary then took Kiersa's hand gently, "Let's have a bit of fun Kiersa. They wouldn't want to have your entire life lived by sadness you know. Smile and show off your cute side." Mary was being as sincere as she could for her friend and comforting as possible. Mary could not live her entire life fearing about her situation and neighter should Kiersa for releasing the demon.

The nun blinked when she felt the energy tingle through her with Mary's kiss. Her face blushed at the sight of all the cameras flashing at her, whilst her mind went a whirl with a singular question. Why did that feel like Celestial Spirit magic? Her thoughts were banished for the moment as Mary took her hand and tried to encourage her to show off for the cameras.

She gave a faint nod and a smile before joining her fellow 'sister' in several poses that she thought were suitable for the term cute, whilst in these costumes.

It had been about a week since Mary and Kiersa had done that modelling job for the designer, and the nun had been sitting, waiting in dread for the resulting pictures to appear in the magazines. When the mail finally arrived, she quickly skimmed through the magazine until she hit their pages. Four whole pages, a double spread pull-out in the magazine, were devoted to their performance on stage.

The sight of her in that bunnygirl outfit, and of Mary in that catgirl costume, side by side... and the way the lights were hitting them in some of the poses she had thought to be innocent enough when the photographers had suggested them... She turned absolutely bright crimson, and hid herself in her room for the rest of the day, hoping to the Maker that none of her team-mates saw the magazines pages... or any of the guild for that matter.
