[Today, Luceti, you will be greeted by the view of a rather fetching young woman

[...well, it's not like this is the first time Pao-lin's seen a girlified Luca. Though the voice change is new.]

Do you want me to get you a jacket? [Really, you'd think the Malnosso would have some variation in the New Feather clothes depending on the season.]

[straightachick]

[-- Oh, joy. Just who she wanted to see. Why is this suddenly ten times more embarrassing?]

N-No, I'll be fine... Thank you for offering though, Pao-lin.

[lightningcute]

Are you sure? It's pretty cold out there. I have to go out to the grocery store anyway, so I could drop by one of the clothing shops and get something for you.

[straightachick]

[...Actually...] If it really won't be any trouble, then... um... that'd be nice. Thank you.

Lu, what on Naraka 'appened to ya? [This was about the last thing she'd expected to see when she turned on the journal.] Ah, well it ain' no matter as long as yer safe.

Been worried 'bout ya I have, they told me about these mallynap things an' we figured that's what happened, but I'm jus' glad somethin' more serious didn' happen.

[She grins.] Gotta say though, ya got a pretty good look goin' on there now. [You'd expect her to be more shocked, but this really isn't that big a change for Luca...]

[straightachick]

[THAT IS INCREDIBLY RUDE, HERMANA.]

Thanks, I think. Mother always told me I'd make a beautiful young lady... I guess she was right. I haven't been gone too long, right?

[immadragon]

Sounds like yer mother knows what she's sayin'. [Snicker.]

Nah, a few days at most? I dunno, I kinda lost count.

[straightachick]

[INCREDIBLY RUDE STILL. See this look? This is an INCREDIBLY OFFENDED LOOK. Sort of.]

Well, that's good. How was Sir Clucksalot?

[voice]

[squaring]

[Huh. This girl looks a little familiar! Still, he can't really place where he's seen her before... Oh well, helping her out comes first!]

Ah... since you're apparently used to this, will you need any help?

[straightachick]

[Video]

Aoba, it's me. Luca.

[video]

[squaring]

...

Milda-... chan? [ALL OF THE WHAT.]

[straightachick]

[PLEASE...] Don't treat me any different than you normally would. I think this is only temporary, s-so...

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

[There's something vaguely familiar about that voice...]

What do you mean by 'this'?

[straightachick]

[Video]

[There's something vaguely familiar about that voice...]

Being, um... how do I put it... genderflipped, perhaps?

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

Oh... you got turned into a girl? That happens here sometimes... at least it doesn't usually last more than a week.

[straightachick]

[Video]

That's good... I don't mind girls, but... it feels weird to be one. Are dresses really this drafty?

[zeroexposure]

[...He...sorta kinda not really remembers Luca, except now his memory is confused because Luca is a girl now.]

Are you all right?

[straightachick]

[Oh noooo more people who were going to get an awkward impression of him.]

Um, mmhmm, just a little cold. You'd think that the Malnosso would at least return me dressed more suitably for the cold... instead of in this.

[zeroexposure]

[IS COOL he technically met you before...!]

In my experience, they're a little too unpredictable to give such mercies most of the time.

[straightachick]

[STILL AN AWKWARD IMPRESSION....... especially since they haven't talked in a while.]

Maybe we'd like them better if they were a little more merciful. [Mutter mutter whine complain.] I guess there's nothing we can do about it though. [sigh]
