#39 - Plus without the minus

[inthecenterfold]

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...

"New parts"?

[live_ringer]

[The handwriting is Gene's usual, save for a pronounced left-handed slant.]

...What do you mean "didn't go all the way"?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

I got the plus without the minus, dude.

[sting-to-death.livejournal.com]

It is not necessary to talk about such details over the journals.

Can you work or not?

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

What happened? You sound like something is, well, a little off. Even for the Sphere.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Yeah - a brand new pair up top. Which wouldn't be so bad if, you know, I didn't wield a damn chain.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

It's necessary to alert my friends I don't look the same - like everyone else. I think I was pretty damn tactful about it.

... As soon as I get clothes that fit, yes, I'm going to work. I'll... figure something out.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Yeah I... don't know if this has happened to anybody before. I mean I guess if it did, chances are nobody would want to talk about it. I'm just pissed off right now and had to vent.

[forgottenbaika.livejournal.com]

Ah. [ Yeah, she understands you with that part. ] It isn’t to bad, right?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Usually my fighting style involves a lot of jumping and spinning around. So I think I'll be investing in the Sphere's best tape.

[live_ringer]

That's--!

That the Tree would warp the path of your fate to this extent is unacceptable!

[He blinks at the sentence he just wrote. That's... not right. After a minute of staring, he crosses it out.]

Ah, what I mean to say is, that's pretty damned messed up.

[forgottenbaika.livejournal.com]

[ A pause. ]

Tape would hurt; maybe you can just try some cloth? [ She- personally doesn’t know what to do. ]

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

[He says 'What the fuck' out loud]

... Oh hell, you mean it changed our voices too? I think I heard this before and now it's going to drive me nuts where.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

That's understandable, I think. Everyone seems out of sorts this morning--and I suppose I mean it literally! What is it about us not staying in our own bodies this month?

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Cloth? How? [No concept of bras in Saiyuki. Just oddly arranged clothing] Like... [he's trying this right now] ARGH THEY KEEP MOVING!

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Not being in our own bodies happens sometimes, but yeah this is like a pandemic now.

2/2

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

... And I just keep being amused by all of it, what the fuck, how sick is that?

[forgottenbaika.livejournal.com]

You [ A pause. ] You just bind them. I guess [ Pentaps. ] I can help?

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

[...Kagerou is currently facepalming at this conversation and wondering if it would be horrifically inappropriate or awkward to step in.]

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Sometimes laughter really is the best defense, I think. And in some cases it is funny.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you would go blind at the sight of my gorgeous body
[A few minutes spent furiously scratching that sentence out]

[live_ringer]

It has, and then some. Not only has my voice changed, I've noticed that I take on a different accent if I'm not paying attention.

And heard of what before? Changing into something else is pretty common, but your case is... pretty unique.

[forgottenbaika.livejournal.com]

Mine looks better.

[ She can't believe she just wrote that. She will practically rip the paper from how much she scratched that out. ]

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

It's not just about what's on top ♥

[He's like MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOP]

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

No no I mean the voice. I feel like I've heard it before.
