some chick and death walk into a clothing store

[amiable]

[ city filter ]

[ You know who Uru hasn't spoiled in a while?

Pharos.

She hasn't seen or hung out with him in quite some time too, so when he asked to go shopping because he wanted some new clothes, there wasn't any way she was declining. The best thing about her job now at the coffee house? She gets weekends totally free.

Browsing through the tables, she spots a nice red hoodie and then checks for the size label on it. ]

What do you think of this one? Or is it too bright?

Comments

just as planned

[bedninja]

[He looks way too amused.]

Of course not! What made you think that I was incapable of doing something like this?

If I could look like a little boy whenever I wished to, I see no reason I could not look like this as well. So I simply tried to one day, and I was right!

The clothing has been something of a problem, however. I was uncertain of what to do about it.

babby :(

[amiable]

Just like that?! [ It occurs to her she has NO IDEA what other powers Pharos has. She can't stop staring at him either, like he's a figment of her imagination. ]

You're... taller! And you sound like Minato-kun! [ OR NITA SO HOPES HE DOES... ]

not anymore 8D

[bedninja]

Of course. Did you believe it would really be so difficult?

[He looks rather proud of himself at the tall comment. That was one of the perks to this! He didn't have to look up at people all the time. ...even if he was used to it, Pharos could always appreciate getting to see things from a different view.]

That is because he is the easiest person for me to resemble. Aside from my hair when I am smaller, I imagine I look quite similar to him when he was a child, as well. [Man idek he probably does, it's all good.]

[amiable]

[ The similarities are uncanny. She can't help but feel weirded out by all this. Slowly, she reaches forward to put both hands on either side of his face. IS HE REAL... HE FEELS REAL... ]

You're... really Pharos.

[bedninja]

[He's very real! Obviously her fingers won't just go through him. That isn't how it works!]

Of course I am. I would not lie about something like that to you, Uru.

[amiable]

[ TUGS ON CHEEKS. ]

I'm not dreaming!

[bedninja]

[Uru why are you tugging on his cheeks. That makes talking difficult.]

Of coursh you are not.

[amiable]

So... you can change whenever you want?

[bedninja]

Of course.

However... this form takes some effort to maintain, while remaining "young" is quite effortless. So I found it troublesome to remain this way for extended periods of time. It makes me much more obvious to others than I typically like.

[amiable]

[ She steps back, letting go of his face, but she has to actually look up. ]

You're so much taller...

[bedninja]

[He puffs his chest out a little at that, in a way he has seen many people do but can't quite imitate himself, and grins.]

Of course! I should be just about Minato's height right now. This form is his "age", after all.

[amiable]

[ Her look of surprise gives away to something closer to amazement, and she smiles a bit. ]

That's ... really amazing, Pharos! Have you shown Zelman?

[bedninja]

I have, in fact! I believe he was the first person I showed officially. I wanted to ask him if it would look peculiar if I had my hair like this... [And he moves to push his hair back more with both hands, because it was starting to fall in his face again.] I do not believe he was expecting for those creatures to show up at the time, however. I certainly was not.

[amiable]

[ Okay, now she can't help but reach up to touch his hair. SHE'S SO MESMERIZED. Ryoji would have loved all this attention. ]

I think it looks okay! [ Head tilt. ] What creatures?

I can't believe I have an icon for this

[bedninja]

[Pharos himself is kind of enjoying it tbh, though not to the degree that Ryoji would. Attention is always good!]

I am glad! I thought it would be too simple if I did nothing with it when it is this long...

The ones that were out in December. Last year they were simply birds, I believe.

/hairflips everywhere + 1/2

[amiable]

December creatures? [ What creatures come out during December?

...

...

... Oh. ]

[amiable]

[ The fairies?! BUT WAIT, DOES THIS MEAN -- ]

You k-kissed Zelman?!

[bedninja]

Of course I did. It is not as though I had a choice in the matter.

But I did not have a choice in the matter last year, either.

[amiable]

[ Oh god, she kissed Zelman, too. So much awkward. ]

No, but...!

[bedninja]

..."But" what, exactly?

[Momma he's not seeing the problem here.]

I am afraid I do not understand why it seems strange to you, Uru.

[amiable]

Be...cause most of the time you look like a kid! [ ZELMAN.

JUDGING EYES. ]

SCREAM I AM SO SORRY HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S IMPLYING...

[bedninja]

...I looked like a kid last December as well, and it was not an issue then.

Besides, I am not actually a child.

ALL THE JUDGING EYES ON ZELMAN

[amiable]

It's not that! Well, kind of?!

Nobody else knows that you're not a kid! So if people saw--

Uru will never look at him the same...

[bedninja]

Would it necessarily matter if they saw?

If they do not know that I am not a child, then I do not particularly care about what they might think of the matter, because it would not be accurate.

nope :(

[amiable]

Zelman could get in a lot of trouble... Was it on the... the lips?
