Kate relaxes, laying back onto the couch a bit. After thinking for a moment about the times when she was dragged off to take Christmas pictures, she shifts a bit to give Julie a 45 degree angle and crosses her ankles daintily.

"To cut that cake without the whole family and friends in attendance would feel like stepping out of line of basic host and guest niceties. Ooh, coffee cake. Anyway, how are you Eric?" Copi sits on a stool or chair. "It's been a long while since I've seen you around, I daresay I'm several months behind."

"That's a pity. I do much the same thing, living and enjoying life, but I put a lot of thought into it, perhaps even too much." Copi does not have a job, a home, money, or even a place you can find her reliably. Her life is kind of weird.
Damn, she's right. Curses. He reaches into a drawer and pulls out a- wait, there's a knife from Julie getting cake for kate earlier. Eric will just use that, slicing off a piece for Copi, and then he goes to get himself some milk. As he's pouring it, he asks, "Well, where I start depends on what you already know. did Julie tell you how I got my current form?"

Julie snaps a few pictures and then thumbs through them on the little screen, shaking her head, "It might be better if you... cross your legs, and lean forward a bit while keeping your back straight. Does that make any sense?" She's trying to consider how she'd sit in such a dress if she was getting her picture taken. The angle was right, since it gave sort of a partial profile that highlighted her prodigious chest, but her legs weren't positioned correctly in Julie's opinion.
Kate does so, sitting up straight crossing her legs at the knee and leaning forward just a bit. That's a bit uncomfortable, but "good" pictures often are.

Copi thinks a moment, as she takes the cake. "Thank you. She did not, and if Kate knew it before I was copied off I've misfiled that memory." A green line comes from her back, and ends in a small fork, which she uses to cut off a bit of the cake.
"Well, the short of it is that Magtok killed me," Eric says, "but because he was trying... oh hells, I don't know why he did it, but he's the one that got me resurrected. Yog-sothoth, the being whom I was a starspawn of, decided he didn't like magtok, and so made me the embodiment of what he doesn't like; wolves and elves. So I was running around as a hybrid wolf elf girl for a while until Julie set things to right, with a few modifications." As he says that last part, he taps a horn and swishes his tail.
Wait, did his voice change for a moment there?

She and kitty aren't that different in that regard. She shrugs. "I don't see any use worrying about these sorts of things. It all sorts itself out eventually, you know?"
"Alright, perfect I think. Now I'll take a few, and we'll change you back. One." Julie snaps the first picture and waits for it to preview.
"Two." *click* The second one likewise goes by without a hitch, the flash going off as she remembers to raise it this time.
"Three." *fwoosh* *click* Julie snaps her fingers behind her back, and Kate may find her vision obscured by a quick glare of flame that hovers around her for an instant before vanishing as Julie snaps the last of the three pictures. It's only after the fire is completely gone that what Julie fireported is readily apparent, since Kate is going to find the living room a whole lot breezier in the black strap bikini Julie tried to slip her into for the very last picture.
"Hmm...I dunno. How does no sound?"
"I'm not going to pay for a tour, I'd rather walk around and figure things out on my own."

Smiling, again apologetic, Lucy's eyes brighten in realisation. Quizzically, the living-impaired nurse continues.
"The local coin is named Gold? Great heights, I did not even think of that. Luck be with me that I could pay at the Tavern with Dollars."
Awww. Not even for... five gold? Vidalia gives her best sad eyes look. They take just about anything in this place. I just prefer the sound of gold coins. she says, giving up the puppy-look for a smile.
Kate looks down at herself, then up at Julie. She then shoots Julie a disapproving look and crosses her arms in front of her chest as she curls up a bit. "Julie... why? Just... why?"

"Are you okay there, Eric?" that was kind of odd, the way his voice cracked. Copi eats a bit more coffee cake.

"In my experience, they do not. They merely go into hiding."
"I dunno about. It's worked out for me pretty well so far." Kitty stretches experimentally. It's... a little better? She toys with the end of one of her tails.
"Because you look damn sexy in that, and I wanted definitive proof. Now come on, I'll get you a bathrobe to put on and I can change you back while you're under it." Julie puts her camera back into her purse and heads for her bedroom where she keeps the clean robes.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine," he says calmly, "This was quite a while back. Magtok's kept out of our lives pretty well altogether, so it's not like we've been having trouble, really."

Kate will get up and hurry, obviously considering this to be a marginal step up from nudity. Furthermore, outfits that accent her form at this point really drive home how wrong the body feels.

"That's good. But you misunderstood my question; your voice cracked and I was wondering if there was a small issue with your throat. Anyway, I have met Prism. She's a very smart little girl."
Copi eats her coffee cake at a leisurely pace, enjoying it.
"Oh. It did?" Eric blinks. he hadn't realized that, "Well, whatever it was seems to be gone now. I didn't even notice it" He then simply drinks some more milk.

"I don't even remember it happening. I just remember walking through the woods."
Even waking up on the ground was a bit blurry. Frustrated her hands curl up into fists and she looks down at the ground.
Quinn gently places her hand on Yuki's shoulder, and smiles softly. "I'm sorry. But it's possible I might be able to help them re-grow."

Obviously, she excited about this new development.
A little brother? That's awesome! What's his name? How old is he? Is he here? Can I see him?
At the question, Alysha seems confused for a brief moment. She looks down at herself, thinks, then snaps her fingers as she remembers.
That's right! I rented a room in Trog's so Yuki could take a shower and I could try to wash her clothes, which didn't work out that well, and I must have left my hoodie there!
Jamie giggles a bit, then points to the deadtimed little red-haired boy next to her, stuck in semi-deadtime ooze. "That's Hadrian. He's pretty cool, for a boy." She sticks her tongue out playfully. "And oh, it just slipped your mind? But didn't you need it or something like that?"
Yes. Let's roll with that. Lovely evil symbols! I mean, bloody lovely, evil wholesome, and necrotic hygenic symbols! Heh heh heh! That's not maniac cackling! That's a typo.
...
But clowning aside, those lovely symbols are a double-edged sword.
Mystical power they freely dispense! But demons can come of them too. Demons that Valaira can control. Yet if someone else were to summon one...
Breakfast now! Bloody runes later!
"Do you want waffles, Zero? Waffles and bacon and eggs and pancakes and omelettes and french toast and ham and sausage and milk and orange juice and coffee! There's a place that sells breakfast food not far from here. I could teleport there and order take-out! And we could eat our meal outside in the sun with the cool morning breeze and the dew on the grass! It'd be fun!"
Valaira is excited about picnics! After being cooped up inside for so long, she'd gone stir-crazy and now she's contracted a severe case of...
((Muppet Treasure Island (1996) scene ahead if you follow the link!))
Alysha will smile at Hadrian for a moment, then shrug in response to Jamie's questions.
I've found that holding the Keyblade seems to keep me from getting hurt by the sun.
Which would explain why she's carrying it all the time now instead of leaving it wherever Keyblades go when they're not in use.
I mean, I'm still a little sensitive to it. Can't stay out too long. But, as long as I'm holding this, sunlight won't kill me. Which is weird, cause if I were to try to use a Cure spell through this on myself, I'd get hurt. She scratches her head a little as she looks at her weapon. Then shrugs. Oh well. I'm not gonna question it too much.

"Maybe, but I can't go around worrying about things. I'd drive myself crazy. I'm better off just worrying about the present if I want to worry about anything." Like the weirdness that's happening to Kitty now. That's something worth worrying a little about.
Quinn gently places her hand on Yuki's shoulder, and smiles softly. "I'm sorry. But it's possible I might be able to help them re-grow."
"Re-Grow?"
She seems confused and looks a bit worried that something is wrong with her. She doesn't remember having wings. She just remembers the incredible pain in her back.

Quinn nods. "I could try a Restoration spell. If you wanted, that is. If you don't, that's fine."
She has all her legs and arms, she double checks her toes and fingers really quick just to make sure they are still there. And the restoration spell might very well work, though it would probably feel very strange having the wings grow back.

Lucy shakes her head in apology. Searching the pockets of the old nurse uniform, Lucy tries to comfort the gold-loving vine-person.
"I am afraid gold coins were few in Columbia, and I have very little as is. I wish I could help."
That's a fairly good point, but Justin lived in an underground den of thieves for sixteen years, and in a city with limited water resources for another year and a half before coming to Nexus. Learning to swim would be almost impossible. Maybe he'll stop beating around the bush with his back story and tell Brand that, rather than unloading another pile of horse-"I always figured I would know what to do instinctively. You're born knowing how to walk, even if you can't actually do it. I figure it would work for swimming too."...crap.
"It does for most creatures. Dogs and horses and rabbits and all sorts of animals seem to know how to swim without being taught. But halflings don't have that instinct, and I don't think human do either."
"We don't," Missy confirms. "Most homonid shaped creatures don't." Marsh goblins being a notable exception.
"What's a homma-nid?" Jefferies asks.
"It means a person or animal who has two arm and two legs," says Missy to Jefferies. "How many of the people here don't know how to swim, I wonder?" she says to Brand. "Maybe it would be a good idea to set up formal swimming lessons, for kids and adults alike."

"I'm not going to pay you to show me around GLoG."
It would be a waste of money!
"As far as this room is concerned, just me," Justin says, "and is there anyone at GLoG who can swim well enough to teach a whole class?" And maybe lifeguard.

"I'll have to ask around the larger camp," Brand says. "The children especially."
"I'm a good swimmer, but I've never taught before today," Missy says, ruffling Jefferies hair. "And we were just playing with floaties, so I don't think that counts. If there's enough demand for a class though, I'm sure I can find someone at Remnant who is qualified."
"Living at GLoG should probably come with swimming lessons, or at least a safety course. You do live next to a lake," Justin says.
"Remnant? You work for the military-police? What's that like?" He's managed to avoid Remnant for the most part. This would be his first conversation with a member he's aware of.

"Yup! We is from the tribe of Remnants!" Jefferies says proudly. "Missy is a Remnant and Daddy is a Remnant and Master Chief and me is Remnants too, accept we can't be soldiers till we grow up."
"I've been a soldier in service of the city for ten years. It's a tough job, but it has its rewards," Missy says with a smile down at Jefferies.
"Maybe, but I can't go around worrying about things. I'd drive myself crazy. I'm better off just worrying about the present if I want to worry about anything." Like the weirdness that's happening to Kitty now. That's something worth worrying a little about.
"True enough, true enough. Well, let us hope that some insight into your issue comes forward, as opposed to continued urges that do not cooperate with your body."

Vidalia frowns at Bill. You're mean.
Then turns to smile at Lucy, stepping right up to be next to the undead nurse. But I like you. she says, attempting to caress Lucy's left cheek with her index finger. For you, I'll give a free tour.
