[Arthur's Apartment]

"I'm sure she's heard of it. She, uh...didn't exactly go with science for her first career choice. Not sure what she's doing, these days. We need to catch up. She's been gone a while, and I've been...doing other things." Like selling guns to criminals!

With that, Arthur falls silent and looks at the ceiling for a bit. "Listen, Willow, we've established we love each-other. A lot. But that means different things to different people. A good gauge for that is how far you're willing to go on behalf of the people you care about, and what you're willing to do for them."

Looking to Willow again, he takes her by the hand and squeezes it. "You've proven how far you're willing to go already. It's pretty damn far, and I appreciate that more than you can imagine." It really doesn't go much farther than shooting people. "So, I need to ask a question. How often are you willing to go that same distance for me? What would you do on my behalf if I asked?"

D'aww. It's adorable, in an awkward, possibly-interrogative way.

If it's not outright creepy, at least.

Arthur's Apartment

Willow moves back a bit to get a better look at him, and she has her Srs Face on. "Honestly Arthur? I have your back. But I'm not a minion or a 'yes girl' or anything like that, and if you're thinking of getting back into that business, then I have to consider my family. But let's turn it around? What are you willing to do for me?"

[blackouttwo]

[Arthur's Apartment]

He just nods, understanding her viewpoint. He has his own Srs Face. "I'm not planning on getting back into that business, but I've got fires to put out. A lot of them. And we live in the Nexus. No telling what'll happen in the short-term or the long-term. I just want you to be ready, because it might get uglier before it gets better. As for your question...I've done a lot of ugly things for less important reasons, Willow. Say the word, and I'll do whatever's in my power to make happen."

Arthur's Place

"I already knew there were loose ends. Hence me pulling a gun on you." Willow says.

[blackouttwo]

[Arthur's Apartment]

"...you might want to hang onto it." He sighs, and rises to his feet. "Want to go shopping for...whatever it is you had in mind?" He's following Willow's lead, as far as the shopping goes. Anti-magic devices, and probably new clothes afterwards.

Arthur's Place

Willow agrees. So despite the bad memories, to Mallside!

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Place]

At Terrance's home, it's time for...

ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring

the Banana Phone!

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry scrambles out of her lab, past the clothes hanging in her closet, to grab the cellphone she left on her bedside table. A little fumbling with it before she raises the phone to her ear, "Hello?"

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

And it's Lucy's voice that will be heard from the other end of the line. "Hi, Terry. Are you busy? 'Cause I was wondering if you wanted to, um, do the dinner and a movie thing."

The buxom ninja actually sounds rather shy.

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

"Lucy! Hey!" The cheer can be heard in Terry's voice, "Absolutely. 'Course, I hate to say it, but I don't have any money. That's not a problem, I hope?" That's definitely worry in her voice. She doesn't want to put too much strain on Lucy's budget.

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

"Nah, don't worry about that!" Lucy's voice immediately cheers upon Terry's assent. "All you have to do is say where and when, and we'll meet! I'd choose but I wouldn't want to, like, pick seafood or something and find out you were allergic."

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry chuckles, "Alright, tell you what. I'll give you the address to my place and you can swing by. I'll have a location in mind by the time you get here." if Lucy agrees, she'll receive the address.

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

Lucy agrees posthaste. "Wear something nice!" she adds with a giggle, before wishing a fond farewell and promising to be there ASAP.

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Something nice? Dammit. She's totally ignoring that, with the advent of Waldorf's curse.

When Lucy arrives at the apartment, she'll recognize Terry standing outside, leaning against a wall, but there's a few differences to the last time they saw each other.

In addition to her silky, waist length pink hair, impressive curves, and scintillating chitinous arm, there's a pair of fluffy blue cherub wings at her back, floating disconnected from her body. on her left shoulder is a set of vines set into the skin in multicolored metallic hues. her lips, though still full and kissable, are now the same sort of shifting rainbow color as her arm.

The final differences are how she looks and her stance. Everything about her says sexy, from the way she stands, to the half closed eyes and the little pout on her lips. Her clothing, though a tee-shirt and jeans, clings to her body Accentuating her curves and body. it works well with the seductive way her body moves now, and when she steps off of the wall, her hips shake when she walks towards Lucy.

Note, she was doing none of this last time, it would have been difficult to imagine her doing it at all. The swaying, the sexy posture, everything, screams someone practiced in the arts of women's seduction, and Terry most definitely wasn't that before.

"Good to see you. We're getting to a move first; checked the schedule and we'll have to wait twenty minutes, but there's a movie called "Pyromancer's Fire" going on. Supposed to be an action movie with lots of romance, or something. The reviews were good, so why not, right?"

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

Once again, Lucy has to pick her jaw up off the floor, and her first response to Terry's words is a rather adorable squeak, as she feels her own comfortable-yet-tight halter top and lower-thigh-length skirt are far, far too modest compared to her date...

"W-what? Oh. Yeah, you look perfect...I mean that sounds perfect!" Lucy stammers, blushing fiercely, but unable to look away from out-and-out admiring of Terry.

Hey, at least she's managing to look at her face. Most of the time.

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry coughs, blushing and smiling, "Yeah, a few other effects happened after we left, like I told you they would. One of them was... well, I'm sure you can tell." she shifts her weight, doing something impressive with her hips, "Come on, I'll show you where the cinema's at. It's like a fifteen minute walk."

Terry will, appropriately, lead the way to the cinema. Lucy, I'm sure, will appreciate this.

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

And, as expected, Lucy's gaze drops to those hips and the impressive things they're doing, before flicking back upwards, her face even pinker than before. "Alright. Lead the way. This'll be great!" she declares, before falling into step behind the rainbow woman.

She does, indeed, appreciate this. Quite a bit.

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Once the arrive at Terry's place, Terry will immediately take Lucy into her bedroom, where she lets out a long sigh. Quickly! This is your chance, Lucy!

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

And Lucy finds herself hypnotised once more, this time by how Terry's chest moves as she sighs...

...and, unable to resist, she leans in for a kiss!

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry is rather surprised by how sudden it is, but ends up kissing back, despite Lucy's currently male body. After all, he's still rather feminine. And being a girl makes that alright right now, right? Right.

Still, she breaks it off rather quickly and breathes out, "Alright, what were you going on about in the street?"

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

Lucy pulls back, catching her breath and looking somehow even more red-faced now, and looks down, crossing his arms across his chest. "Woah. Er. I mean...um...like, being like this...I realised how selfish I was trying to get you to stay a girl and all that, you know?"

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry grunts, "I wouldn't have agreed to it if it was that bad for me, you know. Being a girl isn't all bad, and being a nexus native means being fluid with this sort of thing."

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Lucy agrees, looking up with a quick grin. "...I, at least, don't want to stay a guy, though. Just about all my clothes would fall off me."

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry nods, "Speaking of," she starts stripping off her clothing once again, not really caring that Lucy is watching. Actually, he might get a different impression; male hormones go "She's stripping for you!" and really, her movements, from the curse, are really supporting that idea.

What she intends to do, if not interrupted, is grab some pants and a baggy sweater from her dresser so that she can work in something comfortable, but there's an interruption period in between, should Lucy so choose.

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

Lucy knows turning away would be advisable, but, hey, hormones. And so he can't help but watch the show Terry puts on...and, when Terry moves over to the dresser to fetch the new clothes, she might be interrupted by Lucy moving up behind her and reaching around for a rather...fond...embrace...

[Halae]

[Terry's Apartment]

Terry stops in surprise, turning her head to look at Lucy, "Hey, what gives?"

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Apartment]

"Hmm?" Lucy has a dreamy expression, but, after a second, snaps out of it, stepping back with arms spread wide. "Oh. OH! I'm so sorry, I thought...with you...you look sooooo good...and all..."

[Halae]

[Terry's Room]

There's a long moment of silence as Terry looks at Lucy, and then down at her mostly naked body

"...Screw it."

Lucy will find himself being kissed furiously in the next few moments, with Terry trying to pull the curtain. Yes it's weird. I imagine both being new to their current gender will have them fumbling around, but lust permeates the moment.

[The Bushranger]

[Terry's Room]

Lucy, it might be observed, was reacting as expected to Terry's figure being exposed in such a fashion. And, although taken by surprise, there is zero resistiance to the kisses being passionatly returned, and the curtain being pulled!

Much exploration of their new forms shall be had.

[Halae]

[Terry's Room]

Once the curtain is raised, Terry is left sprawled over top of Lucy on the bed, panting a bit heavily. She laughs a bit, "Still... dislike this body?"
