Chapter Text
"Do you seriously think that you can just become an invisible guy and no one is going to think you're Wemmbu?" Egg asked him, stopping him before he went to pick out some trims. He had no idea what kind of trims to get but he knew they needed aura.
"Uh… maybe? Dude, I don't know. I don't think anyone on the server is going to care that much about my disappearance other than Flame and you know how dense Flame is." Egg shook his head in disapproval.
"You're still making it too obvious, so obvious that even someone as slow as Flame would understand. I know Flame isn't developed in the intelligence field but even if it's not him someone will find out." Wemmbu cackled at that, even Egg admitted Flame was lowkey stupid. He made up for it for his skills though, something Wemmbu couldn't rival him in. But Wemmbu had power, more power than Flame had skill, so he was still stronger.
"Okay, what do you suggest then?" Egg thought about his question for a little bit, Wemmbu was witnessing The Lore Keeper's deep philosophical thinking.
"Try crossdressing?"
"What?" Was an automatic answer that just came out of him without any thinking done whatsoever, why would Egg even suggest that?
"Crossdressing! You'll be invisible but look like a girl so people will assume you're a girl and therefore cannot be Wemmbu." Wemmbu actually thought about it, it was a good idea. Sure, it was fucking embarrassing but no one else was going to know anyways. And Egg knew far more embarrassing stuff about him so it wasn't going to matter if he dressed like a girl or not.
"You do make a good point. How do I make it look convincing?" Wemmbu didn't know anything about crossdressing, it wasn't just feminine clothing. You could still look like a man while in feminine clothing but he would need to actually look like a girl.
"I'll pick out some clothes for you… and add a little something." Egg seemed to be holding his laughter at that last part.
"Egg…"
"It's nothing bad I promise! Like, bro. It's going to make it even more convincing." Somehow that just made Wemmbu even more worried about what Egg implied at that last part.
"Okay, whatever."
…
"Egg, what the fuck? How do you have these clothes??" Wemmbu questioned loudly, these weren't just feminine clothes. They were full-on, fitted clothes made for women.
"Minute had some lying around, bro. I don't know what for. Anyways, rate the fit." Wemmbu looked at the pieces Egg showed him, most of them were cyan. There was a very soft looking shirt with loose sleeves paired with a pair of white, long gloves. There were shorts the same color as the shirt with white pantyhose and cyan boots that looked like they would go up to his knees. They had heels which Wemmbu liked. There was some kind of skirt (he thinks) that was way too short to be functional at the front but went down to his ankles at the back, it was very ruffly. Then there was a cloak which looked almost like a cape, cyan but a different shade.
"Damn, these are actually some good clothes. Like, I'm not even trying not be sarcastic right now." They seemed really pretty and Wemmbu wanted to feel pretty, he wanted to wear them.
"Yea, you're a crossdresser at heart."
"No, I'm not!" Egg just laughed at him. "I'm just going to wear these—" Egg stopped him.
"Nah, dude. If you just wear feminine clothes it'll still be obvious. Your body type isn't even remotely feminine, we gotta adjust some stuff first."
"And how do we plan on doing that?" He sat down on the couch next to the clothes, just looking over at them.
"I'll do it, you just get naked. Only keep your boxers on."
"Didn't know you swung that way, bro." He joked.
"Dude, shut up." Wemmbu just laughed, complying with what Egg told him to do. He hadn't really been wearing the fancy clothes with ten thousands layers lately, ever since he won that fight against Flame. Now he was just wearing a simple hoodie with pants, very not Wemmbu-like. "You're going to feel so bonita after this."
Wemmbu sighed. "I'm done. Now do your magic or whatever." Egg smiled, looking through a random chest. Why would you put clothes or whatever Egg was looking for in a chest? Maybe Egg was just weird like that, he had always been weird.
"I found it!" He took out a corset. "This is for your waist." He walked behind Wemmbu, helping him put it on. Then he tightened it, Wemmbu expecting it to hurt. But he didn't even feel it that much, it was just squeezing his waist. "Bro's got that snatched waist."
"Shut up, bro. Can I wear them now?"
"You're so impatient, bro. How badly do you want to wear them?" Egg was just making fun of him at this point, what a bully. "Also, no. I'm not done yet." He reached into another chest, it took him longer to find whatever he was looking for. It was… shorts?
"Why do I need more clothes?" The original outfit had enough layers already, he didn't need more.
"It's not clothing, it's padding. We're going to pad your hips." He gave him the shorts, they had padding on the sides and the back.
"Why??"
"Don't you want to look like a girl? You're too muscular for just a corset to work, some people can just do it with nothing but you need it."
"Okay, fine!" He wore it, now his silhouette really did look like a girl's. "Are we done yet?"
"Not just yet." Wemmbu was going to kill himself. Egg rummaged though the same chest as the last, taking out a bra. "It has padding on it, basically fake boobs." It looked at least somewhat comfortable.
"Ugh." He took it from Egg's hands, wearing it. "Now, can I wear the clothes?"
"Yep!" Wemmbu started from the shirt, easily slipping it on. Then he put on the pantyhose which took a lot more effort to put on than Wemmbu would have liked. Next was the shorts, he tucked the shirt under it. The skirt was a bit weird to wear due to just how loose and soft the fabric was, very flexible. Then finally, the cloak and the boots. "I'm done."
Egg had been looking into another chest as he wore the clothes. "Oh, one more thing!" He handed him a veil. "Extra protection for your face in case you run out of invisibility. Also, it's pretty." He put it on, it was pretty long at the back just like the skirt but it covered all of his face. He could still see through it pretty easily though, which was a plus. "You're going to make all the ladies jealous." Egg emphasized the 'all' part.
"Okay, bro." He just laughed, looking down at his clothes once.
"Wait, do you want makeup?"
"Huh? Dude, I'm going to be invisible." Egg opened up another chest this time, already looking for what Wemmbu assumes was makeup.
"Just do it for the love of the game, bro." This was so unnecessary, Wemmbu didn't even know why he followed through with the crossdressing thing. It was stupid and embarrassing, he didn't even enjoy the clothes. They were the ugliest things he had ever seen and uh… disgusting and… bad… girly… pretty.
Okay, maybe he liked them. Why did girls get to dress up so pretty but when he did it it was suddenly embarrassing and weird? Fuck that, he was going to be pretty. Even if he was pretending to be a girl he was going to feel bo-nee-ta or whatever Egg said earlier. "Alright, do you know how to do it?
"A little. Sit down for me." He sat down, letting Egg put the makeup on for him. He seemed to be very careful with it, also adding a ton of color. Mostly cyan at his eyelids, he thinks. He didn't know what half the stuff did but they tickled. "And… done!" Egg brought out a mirror, showing him how he looked.
He looked… like a real woman. No joking, no lying. If he saw himself out on the streets walking he wouldn't even think that could be a man. He was shocked at how good Egg really was at this. "Wow."
"Yea, wow. You actually look like a girl, bro." He really did, holy shit. "Do you feel bonita?"
"Uh… yeah. I feel bo-nee-ta?" Egg laughed at his pronunciation, not everyone knew Latin or French or whatever other language that word could be. "Actually shut up bro." He decided to go prepare his inventory and ender chest to leave the end. He felt a little more scared of the 'what-if' that someone found his identity because of just how embarrassing it would be. Imagine thinking the strongest person on the server is dead and then you see some invisible 'girl' run out of invisibility and suddenly she's Wemmbu. That would be more than a little embarrassing, a lot more than a little embarrassing.
So he just had to be very, very careful. He didn't want to be caught, at all. But this raised the stakes. He didn't want to be caught crossdressing, Flame would never let him live it down. He didn't want his old enemies and whatever Flame was to him to come back and keep hunting him either, so he had to stay invisible.
