#39 - Plus without the minus

Okay, I get it. The sphere gets its jollies off by watching a bunch of guys flail around because we've got new parts to deal with. So why the hell didn't it go all the way with mine? This is part of the punishment isn't it?

... Sorry for whatever you saw, bro. Hope the scarring's not permanent.

I'm uh... gonna try to see if I can go to work today... if any of my clothes fit... how the fuck do you even walk like this...

[[OOC: Smoke has been changed into his canonmate The Merciful Goddess / Kanzeon Bosatsu - who in the original manga version is a hermaphrodite. At least he doesn't know what a goddess' powers are? All replies will come from

[Well that was one fine looking woman, that was for sure. Too bad he wasn't in his normally body and that wasn't another Sphere citizen, or he'd have hit on her immediately. And there had been enough awkwardness that morning.]

I'm Smoke, if that's who you mean. The one who needs at least a handful of shirts to fit this new chest of mine.

[ She blinked, then sighed. She finally found her, er- him. She gestured to her hand, or to the bag she had carrying. ]

I'm Asuka, and well... I have the clothes. I thought they would fit, since they are the only ones that fit me. [ At that she will laugh rather awkwardly. ]

[He laughed too] I see what you mean. I take it you're not used to this either.

[Smoke dug into his pockets for a few coins] I really appreciate it, uh... Asuka, right? 'S what Kagerou said your name was. [He held out some coins in his right hand, his left hand hoping to take the bag] Not like just anybody'd do that without knowing me.

Yeah, it was a bit to sudden! You know what I mean.

[ She nodded, smiling a bit albeit forcefully. She handed over the bag but eyes the coins, now, she didn't want to take them but... it would only be polite. She smiled, then gently took them from his hand. ]

Kagerou-san told you?

Yeah over the journals, since I didn't know your name.

[He smiles as she takes the coins]

Only fair, right? I'll still owe you one, but at least until then I'll know I paid you back for the clothes themselves. Just gotta pay back helping a stranger.

[ She nodded. ]

Yeah, well you were in the same situation as me. I couldn't help but give you a hand.

That sentiment's not as common as you may think. It's good to know you're like that, though. Found out real quick in this place that you gotta find people you can trust - can't go at it alone.

Yeah, I know what you mean. [ She won't mention that fact that she can't really bring herself to trust people that easily... it's just, unnerving so to speak. ]

I guess you really just need some friends, huh?

[He smirks a little, eyes flickering with a hint of nostalgia]

I was thinking more of you, actually. I've been here long enough to make a lot of acquaintances I trust... been here long enough to lose a few of 'em, too.

[He perks up] But that's why you gotta find new people all the time.

I'm sorry; losing them must have been hard.

[ She nodded, smiling ever so slightly. Someone such as herself, someone that know loneliness. since it was the sift thing she has felt in this world, she never understood why. ]

Yeah...

[He smiles for her] We should meet up again when we actually look like ourselves. If you want you can ask me more about Guard stuff then - unfortunately I gotta get to work real soon, or my ... one of my superior's will get pissed off, and she and I don't get along well as is.

[ She nodded, smiling back. ]

It's alright, I understand.
