KUPO.

[mistermoogle]

It wasn't as though he had anything else to do except...well, explore a bit, and this counted as exploring, right? Plus, the last time he'd tried to watch the humans dancing between some of the buildings, he'd almost gotten caught! And after a few others had started making fun of his wings and pom...

...well, Mog wasn't the sort to just take that, or run away from it. But he was a Moogle that understood the better part of valor, and how it wasn't being a coward. There was nothing wrong with staying out of trouble!

But this - this sounded kind of interesting, with these 'dummies' that weren't dummies or monsters or he wasn't really sure what they were but he intended to find out, kupo! Which was why he was currently peering at the comm and then up at the building. Down. Up. Down. Up

[daaaaaaahling]

As soon as the moogle stepped onto the front mat in front of the door a little light turned on above a video screen. The screen clearly showed the front step out to the street. Edna saw the strange man standing on her door step, and tilted her head at the sight of the wings. Still, it was definitely the one she had been speaking to on the comm. Oh well, it wasn't the first Super she had met with an odd physical appearance.

"Come in dahling, come in," she said into a microphone on the side table next to her so he could hear her outside.

[mistermoogle]

"-kupo?"

He started a bit at the strange voice coming from nowhere, looking around in surprise as he tried to place it...then, as he had done with many other such starts since coming in to the city? Wrote it off as a human thing. He'd probably never understand them all.

Still - Mog was quick to step inside once invited, resting a hand on the door as he stepped inside. "Ah, hello!"

((OOC: I should probably make a writeup of physical description somewhere, but basically he looks like the image I have in his profile. Red nose is not side effect of drinking.))

[daaaaaaahling]

"Hello dahling," Edna said getting off the couch and skittering over towards him. With how short she was, she had to look up at him to look him in the eye. "hmm..." she said starting to walk around him in a circle.

After she had observed everything about him, she stopped in front and extended her hand. "Edna Mode, call me E."

[mistermoogle]

Mog blinked a little - this was one of the shortest humans he'd seen, and he was normally-well, close to her size! He'd gained a foot or two along with the new body, but, well-

He half-turned to follow her, blinking again at her examination. It didn't seem rude, it was just- well, a little strange! Kind of like some of the less mean monsters trying to sniff you to decide whether or not you were worth trying to attack. (Most had learned that Moogles were more than met their eye.)

"E, kupo?" he repeated, looking down at her hand, down at her, and back at the hand before remembering the human gesture - and offering his own. "Well, okay!"

[daaaaaaahling]

"Kupo?" Edna repeated tilting her head as they shook hands. It was a new word, but for now she decided to let it go.

"So, you wanted to see what a dummy is right?" she started back towards the couch in the middle of all of her supplies.

[mistermoogle]

Mog smiled sheepishly. "Moogle, kupo," he explained. "Nobody here seems to be able to speak it." Nobody except for him, at least. But whatever embarrassment he had quickly faded as his pom perked up in curiosity. "Yeah!"

[daaaaaaahling]

"Ahh...where do they speak moogle?" Edna asked as she led him over past the couches and towards her dress forms.

[mistermoogle]

"Wherever there's Moogles!" He reached up to scratch at some of the hair on his head. Hair - not fur. Fur was a lot less...well, it was a lot easier to deal with. And it felt nicer. Not like the stuff he had now.

"I'm from the mines of Narshe. I...guess it's from another world, kupo? They don't have things like they have here, back there." He lowered his hand, peering at the forms curiously.

[daaaaaaahling]

"Oh...so Moogles are a people?" Edna asked, looking him over again. "Do they all have wings and..." she made a motion towards the pom pom as if to flick it if she were tall enough.

[mistermoogle]

Mog jerked back, raising his hand again to shield the pom. "Careful, kupo! Sensitive." He paused briefly, then nodded, looking her over again. "We're normally...shorter. Fuzzier. Sometimes the poms are different colors and some have shinier fur and I wish I was still one."

The pom - and wings - drooped.

[daaaaaaahling]

"Interesting..." Edna said. She could sense somehow that this wasn't his real form. "For what it's worth being human-ish suits you."

"Now then," she said switching subjects. "These are the dummies I was talking about." She pushed forward one of her dress forms so the Mog could get a good look at it.

[mistermoogle]

"It does?"

He hadn't thought about it that way before. But...well, he didn't mind the subject change. Mog 'caught' the dress form, tilting it left and right as he examined it, even sniffing the form briefly.

"So...like a person, but...not!" He was getting it!

[daaaaaaahling]

Edna didn't respond to his question about his form. Edna liked to inspire confidence in other people, especially Supers who always seemed to need a boost. She could tell through her newly formed powers that wasn't his real form, it was like he had a nose job but everywhere.

"Now you're getting it," Edna said encouragingly. "It's just something to put the clothes on top of, so I can test them without anyone getting hurt."

"You don't have anything like this where you're from?" She asked, natural nosiness coming through.

nose job everywhere. i love that metaphor.

[mistermoogle]

"Well...Moogles don't wear clothing."

If Mog was embaressed at this at all, he showed no sign. Fur was just as good as clothing, anyway, if not moreso!

"The humans might, though! They have all sorts of weird stuff, kupo, though I haven't seen any from where I'm from."

...he rather hoped they were okay.

[daaaaaaahling]

"They don't?!" Edna said, clearly seeing a problem where Mog did not. "Why not? If you don't wear clothing, you leave yourself wide open for anything!"

"So what do you think, being the first moogle to put on some pants?" she asked.
