While hijinks were afoot within Milly's secret closet, the remainder of the student council were busily going about their business. Rivalz, Shirley and Nina were three very different people, each of them with their own way of going about things. Different priorities, different outlooks on life. But that's what made the student council so effective at what they did.
"Since Lelouch isn't here, I'll be taking charge while Milly's dealing with other issues," Rivalz announced. The secretary was, technically, third in command.
"Oh no! You'll only take this as an excuse to goof off!" Shirley protested. "Right, Nina? It'd be way better if I took over for now."
Nina stayed absolutely quiet.
"See? Nina agrees with me!" Shirley nodded triumphantly. "Therefore, I say that our top priority should be ordering in new equipment for the equestrian club."
"Gosh Shirley, I never took you for the rebellious type," Rivalz snarked at her. "Anyway, those guys in the equestrian club can wait. The Fantasy Seduction Club needs a wide assortment of new fabric, so let's start by ordering in a new one for them. Right, Nina?"
Nina stayed absolutely quiet. She looked between the two of them nervously.
"See? Nina agrees with me!" Rivalz folded his arms in triumph. "So let's make sure those girls can dress up all they want -"
To this, Shirley reached over and tweaked the boy's ear. "You just want to watch those girls strut around in barely any clothes!" she yelled at the boy. "Those sheer dresses with the low neckline! Those snug leotards that ride up in the back while drawing attention to their thighs! Those thong swimsuits that look... so.... Comfortable and haaaaah, excuse me!"
Which is when the swimmer reached across the table to her bottle of water and guzzled down about half of it in a single gulp. Not that Rivalz or Nina were saying anything in particular about this weird behavior, as they were feeling a mite thirsty too all of a sudden.
"... move the budget to the fantasy seduction club?" Nina quietly asked. Both Rivalz and Shirley's hands shot up into the air. "M-Motion passes."
All three of them fidgeted a little, lost in their memories of the scandalous outfits the fantasy seduction club sometimes wore. They seemed to have almost no shame at all. It was a wonder such a club was allowed in the first place. It smacked of Milly's influence. Her wonderful, glorious influence. Much the same way that each of them were starting to smile a little bit more like her.
"You know, speaking of thong swimsuits, I had a suggestion for the swim club," Rivalz suddenly said out of nowhere. His Inner Milly stepping out for a little playtime. "Those fine, supple and flexible bodies... Aren't improving your lap times right now. It feels like you need an extra little motivating factor. Wouldn't you agree?"
"N-no!" Shirley yelled. Once again, she resorted to tweaking Rivalz's ear. "You colossal perv! I am not swimming around with this perfect ten body in a string bikini!"
"Didn't say anything about a string- gya! N-Nina, don't you think this will motivate them?"
Nina stayed absolutely quiet and did not imagine Shirley posing in an especially slutty string bikini.
"See?" Rivalz said, pushing Shirley away. "Nina agrees with me!"
“I-I don’t care!" Shirley said, shooting Nina a death glare. "It is one thing for the cosplay club to wear this sort of stuff.. but we on the swim team aren’t ending up like that.” She raised her hands in exasperation, looking at Rivalz as if he had grown a second hand. “I don’t want every boy in school sneaking into our training sessions, trying to get a peak of our barely covered bodies, the snug bikinis pressing against the bodies of the team.” She could imagine it in her mind’s eye, her and the entire team in incredibly revealing swimsuit thongs and string tops.
“Th-these sorts of swimsuits aren’t even made for proper sports! They w-would fall off at a moment’s notice!” She continued, her voice faltering a few times at some rather graphic images that came to mind. "Leaving us swimming in the pool nnnnnnaked! Skinny dipping! On school property!"
And here we see the conflict between the inner Milly with their core personality types. Milly would have found the idea of the swim team skinny dipping quite exciting, but Shirley? She was mortified! She didn't have the personality of a dirty old man. Not a bit of it!
On the other hand Rivalz didn't quite have as much of a problem letting his pervy side out. He was an outspoken jokester. Perhaps it was because he thought if he tried mimicking Milly she'd pay attention to him. Maybe it had nothing to do with anything. As for Nina...?
"Rivalz, please stop teasing Shirley," Nina suddenly said. She flipped back her hair - which in case you needed to be reminded were twin pigtails, so this seemed less cool than it should. There was a curious confidence in her voice that wasn't normally there. "I mean, my goodness. If we're going to get the swim team in something so revealing, we should also get the rugby team to play shirtless. That's only fair isn't it?"
Rivalz paused, tilted his head at the new idea and then put a finger to his lips before nodding. “I don’t mind it, not like it makes much of a difference. Their clothes already stick to their bodies after they start sweating..” At these words, the blue-haired male blinked. Weird, that train of thought had felt a bit off, but now that he thought about it. There was a logic to it..
“So, the swim team wears string swimsuits, the rugby team play shirtless with a thin layer of oil rubbed over their chests, everyone fine with that?” He asked, still feeling like the latter part was a bit off but not quite seeing <i>why</i>.
"No need to ask," Nina said with unusual confidence. "It's a perfectly fair trade. I doubt anyone would have any complaints at all. Um..."
And then we see that confidence fade away as she sinks slowly but surely underneath the table. Suddenly onset with a massive amount of shyness.
Before the conversation could proceed any further the door opened up. The three of them turned to see who it was, half expecting Sayoko. But no! It was their errant Vice President Lelouch Lamperouge.
"Sorry I'm late," Lelouch said with a cheery wave."I didn't miss anything did I?"
"Milly's taken Kallen and Suzaku to her special wardrobe," Rivalz said.
"I know," Lelouch dismissed. He'd seen that already. It was why he knew it was safe to come along. "Anything else? How is everyone feeling?"
"Super happy to see you," Shirley said, leaping out of her chair. "My, my! Aren't we looking especially handsome today. You've got to be more careful with that handsome face of yours, tiger. Are you trying to make my heart go pitter-patter?"
"Not especially," Lelouch replied, deftly removing her hands from around his head. He wasn't here for a typical meeting in any event, and so he felt it best to get down to business."So how about you catch me up on what's going on?"
"We'd made an important executive decision," Rivalz nodded. "Regarding the Fantasy Seduction Club, the Swim team and the Rugby team." That didn't sound too out of the ordinary.
“Oh, anything I should know about that?” Lelouch asked, raising a single eyebrow in slight curiosity while looking between the other students.
“Hmm.. ohh.. It may be best to show you? Rivalz, do you have anything ready for the swim club yet?” Shirley asked, a strange look in her eyes. The male in question blinked before nodding and immediately the smile on the redhead’s face grew bigger. louch was here she was more than interested in showing off a little. "Come on, Nina! Let's go get dressed!"
“Good good, we need to test them a bit, see to it that they won’t break from a bit of sports.” Lelouch was looking back and forth between them, confusion on his face. Thus he didn’t notice that even Nina was looking in a rather.. energetic manner and licking her lips like she was imagining a particularly tasty banquet.
Sitting down and drumming his fingers on the table, Lelouch considered this situation with a lot of care. It was potentially worse than he had thought. He'd initially believed that Milly's Geass was making them act like her, but... No. Even Milly wasn't quite so overtly perverted in her outlook. This was more like an exaggeration of her character traits imposing itself on top of theirs.
"Listen, Lelouch. We can appreciate that you've got your own things to deal with, but you should really try to show some more G-U-T-S!" Rivalz said. Yep. Definitely Millyesque, but also a little off. "If you're going to be off, then be off! If you're going to be here, then be here! Please make up your mind and stick. To. It. Much like Shirley wants to stick to you."
Ah yes. Shirley's crush on him. He'd found out about that the hard way. A tale as old as time. Boy meets girl. Girl falls for boy. Boy becomes a masked revolutionary and accidentally kills girl's father as collateral damage. Girl finds out boy's secret identity, shoots military officer to keep him safe. Psychotic mind reader uses this to manipulate girl to make her kill boy. Boy uses his own superpower to make her forget all of that. Girl falls in love with him again anyway.
Yep, it was almost cliche with how predictable and well worn that all was.
"Believe it or not, I am aware of her... affection towards me," Lelouch said. "I am not presently looking for a girlfriend."
"Well, you could do a lot worse," Rivalz shrugged. Interesting. He could see little bits of 'Milly' and bits of 'Rivalz' in his movements, gestures and tone. This was proving quite advantageous to him. Lelouch had already learned a lot about the Geass through direct personal interaction. If he was clever he could set up a way to contain Milly and force her to behave herself. Possibly also deprogram the others, and maybe even find a way to use it to his own advantage. "I'd say that Shirley may be overbearing, but the two of you would fit together like a G-L-O-V-E, which you'll notice spells out, 'gee! Love'!"
That was so Milly it made his teeth hurt.
"Sorry, but I don't see Shirley in that -"
The door opened up with a thunderous "Ta-da!" Lelouch turned, and even his jaw had to drop. That was... an extremely revealing jet black string bikini Shirley was wearing. And, ahem, it seemed as though she'd put on suntan lotion on the exposed parts of her body. Which was quite a lot, as it turned out. Lelouch might be romantically illiterate, but he's still a young man. Intelligent as he might be, certain hormones were bound to kick into gear when such a sight fell before his eyes.
"Now, as we were saying," Shirley said, strutting into the room with a hand on her hip. She reached over the table to grab at the papers resting in front of Lelouch, a rather blatant and deliberate action to draw attention to her chest. "We were thinking of making some changes to the swim team's swimsuits. Do you like what you see, boys?"
"I'm here too!" Nina called out, posing against the doorframe. Alas, her figure was the least impressive out of the girls in the council and so she didn't merit all that much attention.
"I think this is going a little too far," Lelouch diplomatically said. "Shouldn't you at least include other members of the swim team in such a discussion?"
"Not a problem," Shirley waggled her eyebrows and leaned back, back and my goodness she really was limber. "That why we've decided that the rugby team will play shirtless."
"With a layer of oil over their chests!" Rivalz added with great enthusiasm.
Damn. Considering the personality types of those involved in the swim team and the rugby team, they probably would actually agree to that deal. Still, this was enough information for the time being. For now he should leave and prepare to contain Milly. So he stood up and said "Excuse me for a second, I'd like to check on Nunnally -"
But he got exactly three paces before Shirley hugged him from behind. "Then I'll come too," she said. Her hand slipped under his uniform, and her breath was hot against the back of his neck. "Wouldn't want you to use this as an excuse to duck out when there's so much work to do. Right, Lelou?"
Tsk! And he's already used his Geass on Shirley! "If you say so," he said, already planning another way to deal with her. Still... This was Shirley with a parody of Milly's personality in control. That left him with a sense of true, unending dread!
- With Sayoko's help, Shirley flirts with Lelouch while Nunnally remains unaware.
- Lelouch is able to slip away from Shirley so he can enact his plan.
- Lelouch tries to slip away from Shirley - but fails and has to experience his punishment: Skinship!
- Meanwhile, how are Milly’s plans continuing?
- Something else
