The God-Emperor was bored. After living hundreds of years and having all the beautiful women under those charms, he grew tired of wooing the maidens of the Fou Empire. He wanted a lady with an extra... something.

One day, while getting his Reality TV fix, Fou-Lu stumbled upon a fabulous show. There were astounding beauties from all around the RPG realm lined up to win the heart of a lucky man. If you didn’t like the way they looked and/or acted, you could boot them immediately. The lass who'd last the longest would get a choice - date the contestant for real or get some money in exchange for the man. Perfect. He could dump the annoying ones and actually date a cute, nice girl.

After the show was over, Garnet, the host, put up a number on the screen to call if the spectators wanted to be among the next lucky lovebirds. Fou-lu knew a good deal when he saw one; the telephone was immediately put to use. After hearing that Fou-lu was coming on the show, all kinds of girls lined up to try their fortune. Finally, five maidens were picked for Fou's test. At the day of the show, Fou-lu and Garnet sat down together, waiting for the show to start. The girls were all in the dressing room, eagerly readying themselves for the spotlights.

In the Dressing Room

“Do they look real?” Lucius was panicked and looked down at his chest. He needed to look absolutely perfect for the show and that meant looking 100% girl from head to toe. (Not that he ever had a problem with this, but it was a special case) “You know, that Fou-lu is a complete hottie.” Lucius giggled a bit at that. Behind him, Serra was putting up his hair in a thousand tiny ringlets. She also put a silver necklace around his neck.

“Lucius, do you have the walk down?” Serra looked at the skirt he was wearing and shook her head. “I think this needs to be a liiiiittle bit shorter. You want to impress your man with those legs! And remember! You’ve got to be a little sassy to the other girls or they’ll think they can walk all over you! Okay, you understand? Good!” Serra put some eyeliner around Lucius’ eyes, and tried to make him look as pretty as possible.

In the next room, Jean and Lemina sat. Jean was wearing a long dress and swept around her ankles. Surely no man could resist this body, not even the God-Emperor. She smiled as she looked in the mirror, and listened to Lemina preach. “If he’s not perfect, boot him! TAKE THE MONEY, GIRLFRIEND!”. Lemina smiled… maybe she could make some easy bucks off this deal… megasweet. Jean just danced around the room, knowing just how easy it would be for her to win.

There was a lot of chaos in the next room. “I can’t believe you are going on this show! I never thought you liked this disgusting Reality TV crap!”. Paulette smiled. Since Kharg basically ignored her and started dating that little hussy Lilia, it felt good to finally be the one to make him mad. She heard him through the door whining over and over, but she was going to prove once and for all that she COULD get a man. Paulette was dressed rather casually, with jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.

“Oooooh boy!!!! I’ve watched this show so many times! And, finally, I get to go on it and get with a man... and none of these SISSY GIRLS ARE GOING TO STOP ME!!”. Nanami’s eyes lit up with excitement. She was going to whip some tail on this show, and date Fou-lu and marry him and make him her personal slave forever and ever! Rina and Eilie tried to help her, but the martial artist was just far too happy to even listen. “Just make sure and look cute and smile a lot, girlie, and none of the other girls will stand a chance!”

Finally, the magician Mystina looked out the window. All these girls here couldn’t hold a candle to her, right? She knew she was beautiful, and she would most certainly push any of these girls she could out of her way. Fou-lu was such a powerful man, and he was so masculine. He charmed her since she first laid eyes on him, and he would be hers. Oh yes, he would be hers.

The show started, and already the girls were squabbling.

“Oh. My. GOODNESS. Jeans?! Like, how that tacky can you be? And look at that ho over there. Talk about overdressed. There isn’t ANY way those hussies are getting in my way. Look at them!”. Mystina talked to the cameraman and rolled her eyes at all the other girls.

“Grrr, that girl is just mean! Why does she have to be like that? I’m about to go over there and shove my…” Nanami was angry already.

“No way, not if I get to her first! What’s her problem with the way I dress, anyway?” Paulette grabbed a knife out of her pocket. “I’m going to get her!!”

“Calm down, girls, calm down.” Garnet had seen this kind of thing hundreds of times, so she didn’t sweat it. Well, ladies, enough trash talking. Let’s start. First, we’ll have Paulette. Next will be Jean. After her will be Lucia, then Nanami. And finally, Mystina will go. Any questions?”

“Why can’t we just not do this and declare me the winner, since it’s so obvious that all these hoochies are going down?” Mystina again.

“Why can’t you shut the hell up? You’re the skanky one!” Lucius looked like he was about to start pulling hair.

And it went all downhill from there...

But after all this drama, who will Fou-lu pick to date?

  • Paulette makes Kharg jealous and gets her date
  • Nanami’s cuteness wins the day
  • Jean charms the heart of the God-Emperor
  • Lucius gets a victory for transexual kind!
  • Mystina trash talks her way to love
  • Fou-lu doesn’t find the woman for him, and wanders elsewhere to find the one.


AAA
Fou-Lou's not only a handsome immortal with godlike powers and a loyal fanbase of woman with far too much time and imagination, he's also extremely gullible.

And has a thing for blondes, apparently.

So when Lucius and Fou finally got some alone time after the rest of the ladies finally got tired of waiting and realized that they're wasting their time with a lamer immortal, (and who wants some guy with prematurely white hair anyway?) they quickly hit it off since Fou didn't need to bother with 'conversation' as all Lucius really did was giggle and try to keep his crotch flat. But that's all Fou needed, and at the pinnacle of the show the two went back to Fou's shiny castle for a more intimate encounter.

Lucius didn't really know what he was doing, but he did know the effects of alchohol and managed to keep Fou's wine glass full for the rest of the evening.

10 hours later, a very sick Fou(even gods get hangovers, it seems) turned to his lover and suddenly realized that Lucius was wearing a very tight pink G-string that left little to the imagination no matter what sex you were.

Fou's reaction is probably better left undescribed.


Paulette: 3
Nanami: 10
Jean: 15
Lucius: 16
Mystina: 3
Fou alone: 16

*twitch* Lucius?

None of these women (or Lucius... ahem...) will impress Fou-Lu. Not a single one. Why? They're lacking the single essential quality that the God Emperor looks for in a woman: a bell. Go get Geomancer Faris on the set, fast!

Lucius for the WIN! Him and Fou Lu would be such a cute couple ^_^

You mean find a man for Fou-lu, right? <_<

It would be nice to say that each of our lovely contestants has something to offer the God-King. It would be an utter lie, but still it'd be nice. However, even if this were true, there is one who goes above and beyond the others. One with the dedication to perfect herself in tribute to the mighty God-King, to strive to master an art in tribute to him, to dedicate her life to the mere hope of his divine power. Jean, the one woman truly willing to give her heart to Fou-Lu.

...OK, not really. But when your would-be beau is the icy half of an elemental pair of Dragon Gods, and you've already mastered a martial art named after a blue dragon, you might as well use that to your benefit. And that level of deceptive flattery really is hard for any other contestant to beat. Throw in the possibility of a private dance or two, and you've got yourself a winning contestant. Of course, Jean may have to clear up a few misconceptions that her "dedication" may instill within Fou-Lu, but every couple has to deal with a few problems like that. And with a bit of luck, she and Hiro will be able to swap some stories next time they meet up.

Jean's being the least stupid. Methinks that's a quality a god would want in a comapanion.
