[So if anyone was paying attention during the experiment, they would have noticed a mostly unfamiliar man strolling around the main portion of the village, looking entirely too composed for the body-switching. That probably wouldn't have been out of the ordinary, except said man spent a large amount of time in the clothing stores and took "home"

That's going to be awkward when winter gets here.

[He's most likely referring to the fact that she's barefoot.]

[blondexena]

[And hello mystery person. She throws a glance at Squall, then shrugs.]

Always has been. Can't do anything about it, though.

[Not unless she wants to stash spare shoes everywhere around the village... which isn't such a bad idea, actually, she might do at least one or two pairs.]

[knighted_lion]

[He's back to being himself, so she won't need to worry about Seifer-antics, luckily.]

The spell doesn't let you?

[blondexena]

[No, you're the one who she doesn't want to beat to a pulp. Though Seifer couldn't have told who she was during the bodyswap.]

It's not a spell, but no, it doesn't. Shoes aren't organic and are too damn complicated to integrate, we can barely manage any decent clothing as it is. [canon: laaaate in the series they learn to morph real clothing, not just spandex, but it takes a damn long while. So she's actually wearing a shirt and a pair of shorts, even with the barefoot.]

[knighted_lion]

It has to be organic?

[blondexena]

It's DNA-based, and clothing isn't part of DNA. [She gives a shrug at that one, because obviously she is wearing clothing.] We all learned how to change skintight stuff pretty fast, but it took us a lot longer to do anything but spandex. That's still pretty new in the grand scheme of things, and it really, really helps if it's not complicated clothing. Shoes are just... too many bits and pieces.

[knighted_lion]

You could try slippers?

[Which might not be the best choice, admittedly, but it's theoretically better than no shoes at all.]

[blondexena]

They'd just get shredded. We're used to it by now.

[Indeed, their feet are very tough.]

[knighted_lion]

I'd hope so.

/why aren't you on AIM? ;.;

[blondexena]

...You don't talk much, do you.

[No, that totally isn't a question.]

[knighted_lion]

Why bother?

[He talks enough to get the point across, at least?]

[blondexena]

You're not very fun to hold a conversation with.

[She's not exactly tactful.]

[knighted_lion]

I'm not trying to be.

[blondexena]

That was obvious right from the start. Got anything interesting to say? If not, I want to go shop.

[She's also not very patient.]

[knighted_lion]

...Not really.

[blondexena]

All right. Later, then.

[And she heads into the shop, where Squall would probably choose to shoot himself before setting foot in there.]
