<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/nvQJUqt.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Albion<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>June 15th, 2021, Morning<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Department Store<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Nerissa, Lily, Kevin, Toshiro<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong>Back on track<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Dressed minus blazer<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"What? Come on, not even just two? Even one will be fine, that's not destructive at all! Not compared to like that one ti- W-well, that doesn't matter right now but the point is, it's just celebratory!" Albion sighed, even though Nerissa was right. She'd been there to catch him at his absolute worst when drinking, even if that case was a sheer mistake. He couldn't promise dropping that bad habit in one day, but he was definitely going to have to drink much less going forward. "At this point, I'm more worried about staying incognito than what kind of dress you're going to make me wear..." He hung his head in defeat.<br/><br/>"Still not helping matters any, Lily. My 'curves' do not need any highlighting... Not when the vast majority of any body hair I had has been so painfully removed." He groused, staring with a glare at the computer wiz who found the time to throw barbs at him while continuing to survey her laptop for signs of the others. However, it was more than a little concerning that neither the prisoner nor Ryu were anywhere to be found.<br/><br/>He looked to Toshiro hoping he either knew or at least had an idea what their rogue element could be up to, but he'd been too preoccupied with Nerissa to seem to pay attention to this.<em>'It's easy to be caught up on Mal acting outside her usual, but she was supposed to be watching the prisoner, so if she's gone... The blasted brat might have just let her slip away. Ryu being nowhere to be seen doesn't fill me with any sense of comfort either. Goddamn higher-ups just dumping all of this on us without taking any of the necessary precautions...'</em>The scowl was visible on his features. So lost in his thoughts was he, however, that he hadn't been aware of Lily or Toshiro speaking to him about the dress.<br/><br/>"What are you bothering... Dress?" Albion paused, before he blinked and shook his head. "Sorry... Got caught up in my thoughts. I do like black more, to be honest, but Nerissa has a point. I probably won't look too lively at the party with just black and white (not that I want to look lively, but that's neither here nor there)... Not that I mind the derogatory remarks, Neri. Being considered a walking corpse sounds more terrifyingly for my enemies than it embarrasses me." He smiled. Other names included Ghost, Spook was another favorite... There was that one nickname the prisoner gave him which also sounded pretty nice, but he hadn't quite lived up to that one yet... Maybe. Still, Nerissa had a point, tonight needed a change of pace, which meant a little change of wardrobe style too.<br/><br/>Whether Toshiro and Lily remained behind or not, Albion had found himself pulled along by Nerissa, sighing as he carried everything she picked out for him. Never even had the time to grab a basket, he was forced to carry everything she selected. With a frown, he realized... He would probably need a little bit of help to put all of it on as he had no prior experience with any of this. "... Just this once, a little bit of assistance would be nice."
