(4:02:53 AM) Nex: Nex is looking a little rough next morning, emerging wearing a white robe that's nearly identical to the one he was wearing yesterday... Does he really have no other outfits?
(4:05:33 AM) Chou: There is the sound of whistling coming from the main room...
(4:07:28 AM) Nex: He blinks, looking around- Initially levitating, although seem to catch himself a moment later, dropping to the floor. "...Hello?"
(4:08:20 AM) ***Chou seems to be...cooking. Working with a pan and utencils...as she hums and dances...putting a lot of sway into her movements...
(4:13:08 AM) Nex: "...Oh." He seems surprised at that, taking a step closer, trying to see what she's making...
(4:13:31 AM) ***Chou almost dancing as much as cooking, hips swaying widely and bust jiggling...
(4:13:48 AM) Nex: Blushing keenly at that. "That is, um... An interesting way to cook..."
(4:15:11 AM) ***Chou doesn't seem to notice him...just continuing onwards...almost putting on a show...
(4:17:05 AM) Nex: Nex blushing more... Taking a step back and, well... Trying to look away. But he'd never Seen this sort of thing before... Not back home...
(4:18:35 AM) ***Chou moving along with music that seemingly only she can hear...swaying in her tengu geta...
(4:21:51 AM) Nex: He hesitates... He Could just try to listen inside her head, but... No, that would be rude. "Umm... Chou?"
(4:22:20 AM) ***Chou turning perfectly on one heel. "Yes?~"
(4:23:05 AM) Nex: "Ah, good morning..." He smiles awkwardly. "I just... Didn't expect to see you cooking? Although I guess it's more common off world... What, ah, were you dancing to? I couldn't hear anything..."
(4:24:12 AM) Chou: "Oh, I was just remembering some music...and I'm not making much that's fancy. Just cooking some rice."
(4:24:47 AM) Nex: "You're, um... Certainly making it Look fancy..." He pauses. "...You can remember music so well you can dance to it?"
(4:25:50 AM) Chou: "Of course. Memorization is important for many things. Music, cooking, stripping...weapons."
(4:26:44 AM) Nex: He nods slowly... And blinks. "Those last two are, uh..."
(4:27:57 AM) Chou: "Yes?~"
(4:30:59 AM) Nex: "J-just things we're not too familiar with, on Zhodin..."
(4:40:55 AM) Chou: "Oh? You don't know about stripping weapons? How do you maintain them?~"
(4:42:07 AM) Nex: "Oh-oh." The blush heightens, and he begins to babble in an attempt to compensate. "We don't use many weapons on Zhodin... I mean, not conventional ones. Psi-amps and the like don't really need maintenance in the same way... I'd show you but I don't have any of the weapon ones on me, although..." Another pauses. "...Would you like to hear some music?"
(4:46:57 AM) Chou: "Oh, that sounds very interesting~"
(4:52:18 AM) Nex: "I hope it will be!" He pulls something from beneath the robe... A slim disc of perfectly clear crystal, that floats above his hand a moment before rising into the air... Flowing outwards into a dozen tiny rings of crystal fibre that start to rotate around a central sphere... And then music flows from it. It's warm, like they're hearing someone playing amidst them, a beautiful string quartet.
(4:52:18 AM) Nex: "It was a gift from my parents... It's only a cheap one, but it had all my favourites on it, so I brought it with me."
(4:52:40 AM) Chou: "...interesting."
(5:02:17 AM) Nex: "Apparently Psychimes aren't common offworld?"
(5:03:10 AM) Chou: "Not particularly no...nor is that style of music~"
(5:06:32 AM) Nex: "A-ah..." He blushes. "...I have heard that traditional instruments aren't too common, but... We don't have many technological things on Zhodin... I'm still figuring out how to use that commlink..."
(5:08:51 AM) Chou: "So I figured...I'm sure you'll get used to it~"
(5:12:02 AM) Nex: "What kind of music do they listen to on your world....?"
(5:16:01 AM) Chou: "Oh, all sorts...though a lot of it is something you can dance to~"
(5:19:09 AM) Nex: "A-ah... A very different kind of dancing to what I'm used to..."
(5:22:40 AM) Chou: "Oh, I imagine so~" She smiles widely
(2:33:57 PM) Earthflame: "Although... I never went to many balls... Or any... I mean, until being chosen..."
(2:35:26 PM) Chou: "Oh, that's rather unfortunate...we'll have to correct that some time~"
(2:36:34 PM) Earthflame: "It's fine, really, I mean... I wouldn't have anything to wear..."
(2:36:55 PM) ***Chou smiles much, much wider
(2:42:45 PM) Earthflame: "Umm..." He steps back a bit, the music wavering. "What's... That expression?"
(2:43:21 PM) Chou: "A smile~" She steps foward, swaying hips and jiggling bust in his vision...
(2:44:22 PM) Earthflame: "W-what about your rice?!" He babbles, stepping back, slipping and then floating in the air.
(2:44:44 PM) Chou: "Oh, it is done and just cooling off~"
(2:44:57 PM) Earthflame: "Oh... So... What are you..."
(2:45:46 PM) Chou: "Well, you DO need another outfit or two~"
(2:46:48 PM) Earthflame: "I... Do I?" He bites his lip. "I mean... I've always worn things like this..."
(2:55:39 PM) Chou: Oh dear~"
(2:56:00 PM) Earthflame: "Is... Is that a bad thing?"
(3:21:49 PM) Chou: "Oh, it just gives me a lot to work with~"
(3:24:15 PM) Earthflame: "I... I'm not sure what to make of that." Nex starts to hover a little higher... It's the only thing that lets him reach roughly eye level.
(5:37:24 PM) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat. You will automatically rejoin the chat when the account reconnects.
(5:40:16 PM) Chou left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(11/21/2018 4:38:57 AM) You are now known as Chou
(4:39:03 AM) Chou: (2:46:48 PM) Earthflame: "I... Do I?" He bites his lip. "I mean... I've always worn things like this..."
(4:39:03 AM) Chou: (2:55:39 PM) Chou: Oh dear~"
(4:39:03 AM) Chou: (2:56:00 PM) Earthflame: "Is... Is that a bad thing?"
(4:39:03 AM) Chou: (3:21:49 PM) Chou: "Oh, it just gives me a lot to work with~"
(4:39:03 AM) Chou: (3:24:15 PM) Earthflame: "I... I'm not sure what to make of that." Nex starts to hover a little higher... It's the only thing that lets him reach roughly eye level.
(4:39:26 AM) ***Chou leans down a bit to get closer to eye level to his...putting more cleavage on display must be entirely by accident. "Oh, yes?~"
(4:43:05 AM) Earthflame: Eyes flicking down... Unable to help himself~ "Uh, I mean... You seem to want to help me, but, I... Don't exactly understand why I need... help?"
(4:43:30 AM) Chou: "Well, variety is good~"
(4:44:09 AM) Earthflame: "...The robes are often made of different materials, or have slightly different cuts...?"
(4:46:03 AM) Chou: "That isn't much variety~"
(4:49:59 AM) Earthflame: "It's more than I used to have... I don't really know what else I'd wear..."
(4:51:15 AM) Chou: "Well, fortunetly...I'm rather good at fashion myself~"
(4:51:44 AM) Earthflame: "I... Um..." He seems to be looking for an escape... And not finding it~
(4:52:21 AM) Chou: "I mean, if you want~" She doesn't make it sound like a choice though...
(4:52:56 AM) Earthflame: "I mean, it would be rude to refuse your generous offer..."
(4:53:08 AM) Chou: "I'll admit, I was thinking so~"
(4:53:30 AM) Earthflame: "I- I was told a lot about how not to be rude... Off world customs are different, but I'm trying to adjust..."
(5:13:11 AM) Chou: "I'm more than willing to help you~"
(5:14:40 AM) Earthflame: "I, ah, am very grateful for your offer..." He nods... Well, it's basically acquiescence~
(5:15:48 AM) Chou: "Hmm...~" She looks Nex up and down, pondering.
(5:19:12 AM) Earthflame: There's not much visible, beneath the shapeless robe... Slim, pale skin, white hair and grey eyes.
(5:19:42 AM) Earthflame: His hair is cut short, decently enough, although without any particular style to it.
(5:20:21 AM) Chou: "hmm..I can work with this~"
(5:21:15 AM) Earthflame: "A-ah?" His eyes, and his features, are very soft... If more androgynous than distinctly feminine. It'd be easy to make up the difference with makeup... Either way~
(5:21:41 AM) Chou: "Come on, I've got some ideas~"
(5:21:54 AM) Earthflame: "...Where are we going...?"
(5:22:08 AM) Earthflame: He follows her though- Remembering to walk, rather than hover, after a few steps.
(5:23:27 AM) Chou: "To help your fashion a bit~"
(5:24:48 AM) Earthflame: "Ah... That's good?" he gives her a quizzical look. "I've not actually left the dorms yet. I was feeling a bit anxious..."
(5:26:16 AM) ***Chou leads the poor vict...friend...onwards, dragging them through fashion boutiques and salons, organising outfits and makeup...
(5:26:52 AM) Earthflame: Nex blushing and stammering as he goes along with it... Not really understanding what's happening, but being unable to make it slow down, to give him a chance to breathe and think~
(5:28:28 AM) Chou: A whirlwind flurry as Chou almost dances through this, moving through this world as easily as a fish takes to water...
(5:29:30 AM) Earthflame: Nex just pattering along, trying to keep up... His legs get tired quite soon, but he was told not to hover if he could avoid it... His shoes, simple white slip ons, weren't exactly the most practical either.
(5:30:43 AM) Chou: Fortunetly, those shoes are not a concern for long...or the clothes...finding himself back at where they are staying eventually...
(5:31:28 AM) Earthflame: He Is very convenient in that he can telekinetically carry bags and boxes... All their shopping simply floating behind them, easy as anything~ He does look a bit stunned though, flopping into a seat and trying to figure out what just happened... And what he's Wearing...
(5:37:14 AM) Earthflame: A mirror that shows him looking more like a 'her'... Although it's perhaps slightly less obvious, given Zhodin's rather odd cultural standards. Makeup, and plenty of it, with white painted lips and all the trimmings, accenting very much towards the feminine. A crop top and a bolero jacket, all in white, adorn his top half, with a bare midriff and a short skirt following it.
(5:37:17 AM) Earthflame: Below that is an inch or so of bare skin, long white tights and a pair of platform heels, giving some extra height... Nex must have cheated with telekinetics to be able to walk in them~ He blushes a little at seeing himself. "I... Oh my. Um. Do I look... Good?" He seems like he honestly can't tell... It's so far outside his frame of reference.
(5:37:52 AM) Chou: "Oh yes, you look delicious~"
(5:38:26 AM) Earthflame: "I'm... More used to that being applied to food..." He glances at the boxes and bags scattered around after being set down on entry. "And... All this is for me?"
(5:38:45 AM) Chou: "Oh yes, I've got plenty of my own...but fashion is very important~"
(5:39:29 AM) Earthflame: They nod, smiling... It might just be the makeup, but their lips look more plush, trembling pleasantly. "I... Thank you? I'm still not sure I understand anything, but I certainlly do look... Different."
(5:40:14 AM) ***Chou smiles...and wraps an arm around Nex, pulling them into a hug. "Always happy to help~"
(5:41:23 AM) Earthflame: Stumbling into her, still not used to those heels... Ending up with a faceful, even as he tries to turn his face to look up at her, nervous smile very weak. "I... I suppose I won't need any more?"
(5:45:14 AM) Chou: "For now~"
(5:45:55 AM) Earthflame: "Oh..." He tries to pull back, finding his feet again... Excercising some telekinetic will to handle those heels. "And... This is respectable? As Amalgam, I have to represent my entire world..."
(5:47:33 AM) Chou: "Oh, of course." She nods. "It looks fantastic and perfect for you~"
(5:51:05 AM) Earthflame: Nex's smile grows a shade more confident, bowing to her. "Then, thank you again, Chou... And, I... I'm glad to have already made friends... I didn't really have many, back home, and I was worried it would be hard, meeting all new people..."
(5:53:44 AM) ***Chou smiles warmly at him. "Don't worry, it was my pleasure~"
(5:54:13 AM) Earthflame: "I hope I'll be able to repay you, some day... If you need any psychic favours done, I'll be more than glad to help!"
(5:56:25 AM) Chou: "Oh, I'll be sure to tell you if I can think of anything~"
(5:57:51 AM) Earthflame: "Well, ah... I suppose I should get all this organised..." The bags all start to rise up again, floating ahead of him, the door opening... The clothes beginning to categorise and sort themselves around the room, to the point of overflowing the available storage... That is Very convenient~
(5:59:15 AM) Chou: "If you ever need any help with any of the outfits...I'm here to help~"
(6:00:32 AM) Earthflame: "Thank you..." The smile, while still a bit confused is very sincere...
