[At House 12]

[The people in House 12 are going to find a bizarre surprise this morning in their dining room area. They're going to find a woman, in new feather garbs, fast asleep on top of their dining room table. She seems rather content sleeping on that hard wooden table, or perhaps she hasn't realized where the Malnosso had decided to dump her.]

[So! After that awkward encounter with his enemies, Alexei has managed to get himself/herself over to the plaza area, because....well he needed proper clothes. Walking proved to be...an experience in itself, but he made it to the clothing store in the end. The problem here was that he had absolutely no idea what he was suppose to be looking for. To be frank, it was...just awkward thinking about looking for clothes suitable for a woman in the first place.]

[ooc: Alexei has been genderbended for about 2 weeks. Comments will made with onlyashell]

[At House 12]

[childofthefullmoon]

It was Estelle's turn to make breakfast, and she had decided to try her hand at pancakes. Thankfully it had turned out all right, and the smell of food was wafting from the kitchen. The pink haired princess was just coming into the dining room with some dishes to set the table for her housemates... when she comes across something rather unexpected.

There is the clattering of dishes as she drops what's in her hands, completely startled by the sight of... a woman... sleeping on their table.

Why. How. What.

Estelle could only stare in befuddlement for several moments. Why was there a lady on their table? ... And then it all makes sense.

Putting her hands on her hips, she frowns and huffs a little indignantly.]

"Raven! How could you!"

[Bringing women in here and then leaving them on a table! How... how... ungentlemanly! RUDE!]

[There Patty comes, heading towards the kitchen to see why Estelle is yelling. She's rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she goes, but freezes when she sees what the Princess is looking at. Then she blinks. Then she turns away, takes another step, and whips her gaze back towards the dining room table.]

[... It's still there. There really is a lady sleeping on their table.]

Old man! What did you do?!

[At House 12]

[trueknight]

[Man, you guys are noisy this morning. What was everyone getting all "Raven" this and "old man" that about, anyway?

So, half-asleep, Yuri decides to wander out of his room and take a look.












... Well then.]

Talk about a lack of self control ...

[Geez, Raven. With a new feather, of all people? And just leaving her on the table, too?]

[Kyio sucks]

[crisisrain]

[Geez what's with all the noise at this ungodly hour of the morning. Screaming "old man" definitely woke him up and brought him into the kitchen to see what the commotion was.]

If I was gonna bring a woman back she'd be in my bedroom, not on the kitchen table. [Blunt and to the point he moves closer to inspect.] Uh... that's not any lass I've seen before either...

[Wow, this IS a party]

[onlyashell]

[Sheesh, all of you could wake up half the block. Or at least wake up the woman.] mm...?

[These voices sounded familiar too...and not in a good way as she recalled. Her memories were little fuzzy though and her side ached when she realized she was laying on a very hard surface.]

What...? [Wait a minute, was that...coming from her? She opened her eyes in surprise and finds...practically her enemies looking right at her. She very quickly sits upright, suddenly very alert of her situation and...what are these things doing on her chest!? She thought moving felt a bit off and now she sees what was causing the odd balance.]

[O Hai Lady]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle's cheeks flush at Raven's blatant admission and she turns to him.]

"Raven, you're terrible."

[But now the lady is waking up, and Estelle is right next to her in an instant. Her voice one of concern as she speaks.]

"Are you all right?"

[Sup]

[ps3pirate]

[Patty runs forward to get a closer look at the woman. Funny, she has the same hair and eyecolor as Alexei and Duke. You'd think white hair and red eyes would be a rare combination, but somehow it just keeps popping up.]

Don't mind our old man! He acts like a great white shark, but he's as harmless as a tuna casserole.

[Wow, Kazzi, rude |: ]

[trueknight]

[Well, everyone already said what he could've, so Yuri decides to move further into the room and just observe for now. They seem to be a new feather, after all, so him asking questions right off the bat wouldn't help anything.

... Hmm. Something's kind of familiar about this person, but he can't place what. ... Well, whatever. It was way too early to be playing guessing games, anyway.]

[Fuwahaha]

[tenerezza]

[ While Susanne's first shift had politely dropped her off in the right place for finding her own clothes, the Malnosso had neglected to include any shoes. That's typical judging from what she's heard over the journals.

It's only a minor inconvenience, really, though she does wish the little wings granted a way to hover. With her feet normally covered by slippers even while indoors, even short exposure to bare ground left them scraped and sore. So it shouldn't surprise Alexei too much to discover Susanne seated in the clothing store and trying on different shoes for size.

Just try not to trip over the large pile of 'unsuitable' shoes next to her unless you want to be swimming in them. ]

[oh hai bb]

[onlyashell]

[Alexei will be needing shoes, so he'll have to go by that section at some point. He was still in his new feather garbs as he wasn't exactly sure what to go for with clothes, but shoes at least he can manage right?

Although...he didn't expect to be confronted by a large pile of them. He managed to stop himself before he toppled into them, but the contact was just enough for the pile to topple over.]

...[What in the world...]

[ /snail-oozes over this post<3 ]

[tenerezza]

[ Trying on yet another pair of shoes, Susanne misses precarious wobble given by the pile. Poised to add green pumps to the stack, it starts to slide away and she can't help a startled cry.

TIIIIIIIIMBEEEEEEEEER

Congratulations, Alexei. We are now a pair of shoefish amid a leather and cotton sea. ]

Ah, oh dear. [ She'll just... set this footwear over here... ]

[Snails are cute, so it's ok]

[onlyashell]

[...Why was there even such a huge pile of-oh]

...Lady Susanne? [...welp.]

[Speaking of which, I saw the cutest snail!Luke drawing]

[tenerezza]

[ What's this? She doesn't know this woman, does she? Her list of acquaintances is lacking, so surely she should recognize- Wait. That hair... ]

Sir Denoia? [ This isn't awkward, nope. Not in the slightest. ]

[omg really?]

[onlyashell]

I...[Oh, it's just not worth playing cover up.]

Yes, unfortunately. I'm sure you're aware about the odd things that tend to happen here.

[ya really! I can show you if you want]

[tenerezza]

[ Well now this is different. Her eyebrows shoot upward with a quiet gasp. No laughter here; the Malnosso's ability to alter their bodies with in ways besides size and adding wings is horrifying. ]

The last shift gave me an idea of what could occur, though I hadn't imagined it extended to this. Are you all right other than being changed?

[Love to! You know where to ping me.]

[onlyashell]

I'm all right. [Despite being tossed into an enemies' home, he's perfectly all right.]

I just need a change of clothes right now.

[Vivi is browsing through the racks herself, looking for a new sundress before summer ends and it grows too cool to wear it comfortably. She's dressed quite casually herself right now, in jean shorts and a t-shirt, hair pulled back into her customary ponytail. It's only when she finds a likely-looking dress and pulls it out to check the size that she notices the silver-haired woman in new feather dress, looking more than a little out of place.]

[Always eager to be helpful, she drapes the sundress over her arm and approaches with a warm smile.]

Hello! Do you need any help? [She assumes from the way the woman is looking around with a somewhat lost expression that the problem is she may not realize she can take what she needs without tendering payment.] Everything here is free, so don't worry if you can't pay.

[Action]

[onlyashell]

[Alexei was so focused on what the heck to even get that suddenly hearing Vivi's voice took him a little by surprise.] Oh, Miss Vivi.

[Annnd speaking before he could stop himself.]

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi's surprised too, to hear the woman call her by name--clearly this isn't just a new arrival to Luceti, as she'd first assumed. She gives the woman a quick look-over, and still fails to recognize her. How awkward.] I'm sorry! I thought at first you were new here. [She gives an apologetic smile, but recalls the bemused expression the woman had been wearing as she looked over the clothes.]

Still, can I help? Are you looking for something in particular? [Maybe with a little more time, she'll manage to remember who this is without having to ask.]

[Action]

[onlyashell]

It's all right. It's nothing you need to apologize for. [...This was extremely awkward to ask, even if it is an acquaintance of his.]

I would appreciate the assistance since...I'm not quite familiar with female clothing.

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Not familiar with--ohhh. Comprehension dawns. This is a shift, then, and the reason Vivi doesn't recognize this woman is because she normally isn't a woman. Now that she's realized that, it's easier to narrow her identity down.] It's no trouble at all, Alexei-san. [Okay, so that's still a guess, but once she factors in the hair color and formality of speech, it's one she's pretty confident in.]

[Vivi takes a small step back and regards the woman again, this time with more of an eye toward guessing at her clothing size.] Ah. It's probably best to start with...underthings. [And, oh god, it's only now dawning on her the potential for awkwardness here.]

[Action]

[onlyashell]

[Ah, she caught on quickly, both in recognition and how awkward this was going to get.]

Yes, I...suppose. The sooner that is dealt with, the sooner we can get to actual clothing.

[Action]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi nods, heading to the women's underwear section and doing her best to forget for the moment that she's looking for women's undergarments for someone who's normally a man. She almost wishes she'd remained in ignorance as to Alexei's identity. Oh well. No help for it now. She looks at Alexei's hips and slender frame, then turns to select two different sizes of panties that seem like they should be about right.]

[She's less certain about the bra--it looks like Alexei is nowhere near as generously endowed as Vivi is, so she does her best to guess at a cup size, selecting three different bras for starters. She turns back to him (her?), holding out the small selection of underthings and trying not to look embarrassed about it.] Try these for a start and let me know how they fit.

[She casts a glance over to the changing room.] If you need something different, I can bring it to you. [More efficient than sending Alexei back and forth on multiple trips to the changing rooms, anyway. She opens her mouth, about to as if Alexei knows how to put on a bra, but thinks better of it and snaps it shut again.]
