Greetings, Death City! [Have a happy, bouncy Lee right in your face.]

It has come to my attention the the up-coming Beauty Contest may in fact be biased towards women. However! Myself and another concerned citizen--[Eridan Ampora]--have decided it is only right for there to be another contest!

A contest about Masculine Beauty!

Yes! I mean, a Chest-Baring Competition! Let no man feel he is not beautiful in his masculinity! We shall rise and express the true essence of Manhood! Who is with me?

[ooc: This entire post has this conversation to blame!]

[Give him a few minutes here, he has to finish laughing first. He can't believe he actually fucking did it.]

kneww i could count on you

[awokentospring]

Of course! You can always count on me to follow my word! Thank you for your encouragement in this endeavor!

[Depending on the coming responses, he may not thank you later, Eridan, so take full advantage while you can~]

[nauticalnightmare]

this is gonna be awwesome

[Eridan might be fucking with him, but he kind of really wants to see all those guys break off with their shirts. He's looking forward to this too. Just. Doesn't want to be the one announcing something like that.]

[awokentospring]

It shall definitely be a great sight! I am excited about the prospect of such a challenge!

I will not lose!

[Who knows how it'll work out? Maybe if it doesn't turn into a burning pile of shit, Eridan might actually have his guppy to lure into stupid decisions another day!]

[ Facepalming so hard right now. ]

Who told you that kind of thing?

[nauticalnightmare]

an you might actually wwin that one

[Eridan's never had a guppy before, he'd like to keep it a little longer. He might need other stupid things done down the line.]

A friend! He said that I would not win the beauty contest since I am not a woman, and I thought it was quite unfair!

But he did say that in a chest-baring competition I might win, and then suggested that we have one, because it really is unfair that there is only one contest and it is for girls.

[punches]

What kind of friend would tell you that? It's not all that unfair, but do you think this sort of thing is alright? What if a girl feels she can't participate because it's a chest-baring contest?

[awokentospring]

That is the plan! [He adds a nice guy pose.]

Will you be wanting to sign up if the contest becomes official?

[We'll have to see how things work out! So far, he likes the conversations he's been having with Eridan~]

He is a good friend who has faith in my masculinity and he even liked my scars! [He was quite flattered, to say the least.]

I... did not think about that! Of course girls are welcome! But... I see what you mean. This is not a Bare-it-All Strip Club event.

But the point is that the girls have a competition where they are expected to win! While the boys do not!

[nauticalnightmare]

honestly probably not
id be better off as one a the judges there seein as howw ivve got impeccable taste

Then why not make it a competition that is biased towards men but women could participate if they wanted to as well?

[ Oh no, if she keeps this up, he might get the impression she wants to compete. ]

[awokentospring]

Ah, right! We shall need judges! I shall also attempt to enlist some of those as well! But of course, you are welcome to be on the panel, since this was mostly your idea!

[nauticalnightmare]

wwhale a course
ill be wwatchin the progress a things

[awokentospring]

You do have a point. Perhaps I should have thought of a solution a bit more thoroughly...

[But he really does like this idea. Speaking of which...]

Perhaps any girls who wanted to participate could instead be judges? We will be needing those!

[awokentospring]

Alright, then! Wish me luck!

[punches]

And what would they judge?

[ Sometimes some questions are better left unasked. This might have been one of those times. ]

I'm sure no motherfuckers would get their mind on if you were to get all bare with your chest too, sister.

[Unapologetic clown winking.]

[nauticalnightmare]

you say that like you actually fuckin need luck wwith that

[punches]

[ Has he seen Sakura's chest? Because she hasn't. Ever. ]

No girl is going to expose herself for a contest!

[awokentospring]

The Manliness that is expressed by Baring Chests!

[thehonking]

Why all the motherfuck not?

Equal opportunity tits display, yo.

video;

[punches]

Is that really a thing?

[ Because she can't be certain. Not many run around showing off their chests save for a couple of them back home! ]

How can a girl even place judgment on that sort of category?

Gamzee-!

...

[Suddenly he's not sure if he should allow girls to participate. Just so no one gets a glipse of Sakura's chest Because that would be totally uncalled for! Not like he's ever had any creepy fantasies about that, nopenope.]
