At first, Christine didn't recognize Bak and Rurik in the crowd. She was still too preoccupied with her immediate surroundings. As people took notice of her outfit, they started commenting on how revealing it was, which made her feel just a tad self-conscious.

[i]I-it's fine. I'm wearing a mask after all. Not to mention that they're my Confidence Panties.[/i]

Confidence Panties was a term Christine gave to a pair of old black panties she had worn over the years. She had grown so attached to it that whenever she wore it, she would feel a boost in her confidence. Of course, it was all placebo, but it worked nonetheless, allowing her to be a little bit more daring on this occasion.

Still, she pulled the hem of her dress. Now they covered her undergarments just barely, but the moment she released it, the slight hint of black was revealed once again.

[i]You know, come to think of it, I haven’t seen the others. Would Bak be here? Or Rurik?[/i]

“Sis, I’m going to go look for my friends for a bit,” she told Kath, before finally separating from her.

Due to that realization, she started to wander around the ballroom, attracting more glances and gasps as people noticed the scandalous shortness of her dress. Eventually however, she bumped to Bak and Rurik. She didn't recognize Bak right away, but Rurik? As his girlfriend, there was no escape.

"Rurik! You're Rurik, right?" She clapped her hands together with a big smile on her face. "I'm Christine! So, what do you think? Is my costume eye-catching enough? It's a custom order dress, you know!" She then did a little twirl, and in the process, exposing her black panties fully. They were clearly two sizes too small for her measurements.

"Kath is here too, by the way!" She continued. "And she has made full recovery!"
