[Duchess]

Duchess noticed the lady making a mockery of herself, and her smile dampened slightly. She sighed to herself and shook her head from side to side.

"Is this my competition? Looks like an easy win this time as well" She told her lady-in-waiting to leave for for a moment while she walked up a bit closer to the judges.

[#FFFFFF]

That was taken as sarcasm on her part as she looked towards Lucid. She scrunched her face and turned her attention back to Airu and Mew. "Just... Everyone needs to get here and then I can finally calm down," she said and shook her head. She was just rather stressed since at one point it didn't look like everyone was even going to show up.

[Jurinjo]

His belonging were in his room, which seemed to be only that was a great thing. He never had a bedroom all to himself before. While Jurinjo treasured his private time he stayed around people all the time. That brought back a sad memory of... *ding*

While in his room Jurinjo tore out of his sweaty clothes and quickly wiped himself with a wet towel to look, and smell, more presentable. One didn't want to try too hard to look good. As he stood in the elevator he inspected his shredded surfer style Khaki shorts, green shirt and spiked his hair properly using the thin gold plating around the door.

[[I'm staggering my posts to match time passing more properly]]

[Lucid:]

Lucid was slightly offended that White had ignored her compliment. She thought that White had seemed more under control and put together than she had the past few days. Judging by White's comment to the other judges, however, Lucid thought that maybe she had sensed wrong. "Are...there still contestants who haven't arrived?" she asked timidly, not wanting to frustrate her host.

[#FFFFFF]

"There are some contestants that haven't arrived here," she said and pointed to the pool area. "But everyone has checked in."

[Lucid:]

"Oh, that's good news at least." Lucid said, relieved. "I'm sure they'll make their way here soon."

[#FFFFFF]

"For their sake... Let's hope so..." White said and then pushed her bangs out of her eyes. She knew she must look a mess today because of all of the stress... She would fix herself up from now on though. This was slightly embarrassing, but she was too angry to much care.

[Lucid:]

"Well, given the circumstances, I think you've done a great job," Lucid said with a smile. "I hope they show up soon...I'm so anxious to get started!"

[Jurinjo]

[[I realized my last post hardly made any sense at all, good thing it only said one important thing. Am I the last to arrive?]]

The elevator bell dinged as it reached the bottom floor. Jurinjo walked out taking rather quick and large paces with his long legs. Mechanically never missing a beat yet keeping the stride elegant. He smiled and nodded his head semi-nervously to anyone who looked his direction as he chose a nice spot where the sun hit the tree just right to cast a shadow for him to stand under.

[Padfoot]

Padfoot had enough of wandering and he went back to the receptionist. "Hey, has White come out her room yet?" He'd been wandering too long, feeling a little awestruck by the extravagant place he had lost track of time.

[#FFFFFF]

[[Yes you were.]]

Trying to regain her composure from her run in with White from earlier, Shannelle sighed softly at the question presented to her. "Honey... If you know what is good for you... then you will get your nervous butt out there to that pool. White has request all of the contestants be out there and she didn't seem too pleased when she asked." She then pushed her bangs out of her face and nodded her head. She knew it was in his best interest to do just that.

[Padfoot]

Padfoot jumped and nodded. "Thanks for the Info." He said before leaving the lobby and heading for the pool. Or where he saw a glimpse of it earlier when he was wondering. He decided to run there since he was already late once and this would be his second time. So when he got there he was panting and trying to catch his breath. He looked around at all the others there. "Ahah sorry I'm late." he said to nobody in particular.

[Jurinjo]

[[actually it was technically padfoot no? =D]]

[#FFFFFF]

[[No. You were totally last to arrive at the hotel.]]

Looking up to see another contestant arriving at the pool, White began to count how many were here... There were still some missing and she was getting slightly impatient already. She was about fed up and was debating on making the announcement without everyone even here.

[Duchess]

Duchess noticed one of the judges looking more irate by the second and took this opportunity to approach her.

"Miss White," She smiled sweetly, "I can't help but notice that the lack of contestants present has had you a bit... on edge. If you would like, I can offer the services of my world class masseuse and aromatherapy specialist to attend to you later."

[Jurinjo]

'Is she that brazen or that full of herself?' Jurinjo thought to himself as he watched the exchange unfold before him. He was personally late for the meeting and one of the latest if not the last to arrive to the hotel so wouldn't try to interact with the judge while she was bomb about to go off. Raising herself to the judge may work depending on the judge. But she'd better get to watching her back when turned to the other 9 fashion contestants. At least of them had her name on their list. Check.
