[ the residents of the 07-GHOST house may hear the sound of a voice coming from their currently mallynapped housemate's room. that voice is a little higher, and it seems to be complaining about where are my clothes, nothing fits!

the malnosso have always had a rather sick sense of humor. at least they had the decency to dump him - or, her - in her bedroom.

Later on in the day, Shuri Oak can be seen wandering through town to shop. ]

[Well he can't see much, but he doesn't have to guess to know what she's wearing.]

Are you sure? Maybe I should just go ahead and put a hole in there for the tail... but if I don't take them, then I'll ruin it for someone else. What do you think, Shuri?

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

You have a tail? [ she pays attention. but she's pushing the door open a little more and taking a look at them. ] ... you could always just take them even if you don't use them! Most people have more than one pair of swim clothes.

[bamfing]

I guess that's true...

[But didn't she notice before? He lets his tail swish about behind him. It's pretty neat, but also unfortunately not something she can easily see from her spot in the changing room. Woe.]

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

And things are free here so there isn't any reason you shouldn't.

[ ... okay, she's stepping out to take a better look now. leaving the safety of the dressing room! ]

[bamfing]

Yeah, good point. [In one rather quick and handy motion (that won't let her see anything she shouldn't), he lets his tail slide in under the trunks, then rip a hole clean through with the tip of his tail. Much better. Satisfied at that, he finally gets a good look at her.

... and makes him kind of wish that this babe wasn't actually a guy. Oh man.] Wow, Shuri. That looks great!

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

You don't think it's too much? [ it's a mix of wanting more praise and being genuinely concerned that it's too flashy and thus would have gotten her in trouble at home. but. she turns for good measure.

and then spots the tail... DO NOT KNOW IF WANT. ]

[bamfing]

[He's feeling just a tad guilty now. So um, maybe compromise.]

How about this one... and the one before, yeah? This one you can spend with a special someone on a private trip to the beach, yeah?

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

[ your meaning is flying over my head. I like shopping wins out over modesty and marriage every now and again. more so now since the uniform and dresses that are in style at home are a little dated here. ] Ahh! Good idea!

[bamfing]

It's too bad it won't be summer sooner. We won't get to use these anytime soon.

[Alas, you'll be back to being a barely likable guy again by then. Which means Shuri will never get ot use it!]

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

At least there isn't any more snow. [ bitter, bitter, bitter. ducking back in to put clothes on. ] I hate the winter.

[bamfing]

[Oh, she's changing. Well... less distracting. While she's in there, he goes to fetch his journal, talking all the while.]

Winter's not so bad. But it must be lame for people that aren't so fuzzy as me.

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

The cold isn't bad. It's the snow!

[ ... the dress is hideous so she's going to throw on the spring clothes she bought.

a pause. ]

Why do you look like that?

[bamfing]

[... ahh, well. What a mood killer. He sighs a bit and leans up against the wall while he waits.]

I'm a mutant. I'm not supposed to look like this. I was just born this way.

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

[ and out she steps! ]

Is that why you can teleport?

[bamfing]

[See? Look how bummed out he is now. Way to go.]

Yeah.

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

[ she doesn't really get the way you look but ]

I think it's cool.

It means you're special. [ thoughtful. ] Like us.

[bamfing]

Us? [He's not unused to someone calling it cool. But that's a little bit odd.]

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

Zaiphon users!

[bamfing]

Zaiphon? What's that?

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

It's a rare ability from home! I have it, Mikage has it and -- [ grumpily. ] Teito has it.

[bamfing]

[He probably knows the name Teito by now, but it means nothing to him.]

Right... so what does it do?

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

[ ... ] It's the ability to take life energy and turn it into offensive energy, or heal people, or to do something else!

[bamfing]

Right... Mikage never mentioned that. [He can see the similarity. Kinda. Maybe.] How do people treat you and Mikage in your world?

[abeautifuloak.livejournal.com]

With respect! We're soldiers. [ ehhh. ] ... Less for him. His family isn't important.

[bamfing]

... ahh. [It's all about families.] In my world, mutants are hated. The government was even secretly building giant robots designed just to capture us.
