...Kitty Ears?

[curiousmalady]

*Komui wakes up, stretching his arms out in front of him. He glances at the clock. It's 1 PM. Looking around, he decides he feels well enough to actually get dressed today. He's missed the normal rhythm of things in the days he's been out of it. His stomach growls, and he's actually genuinely hungry for once. Extremely hungry. He swings his legs

*coming around a corner, fiddling with one of the pair of black bunny ears now sitting atop his head, not noticing the other Komui. He's got a little fluffy cottontail poking out the back of his uniform*

This again...? It's not even Easter or anything...

[curiousmalady]

...Komui? Do you know where Bak w-

*His eyes widen a bit, then he groans, putting his head in his hands. Okay. Need to find Bak.*

...Have you seen my Bak? He usually stays in that room. *Points to the door next to his*

[technicore]

... Hmm? *glances down from his fiddling* No, sorry I haven't--

... It happened to you too, huh.

[curiousmalady]

W-what? N-no- what do you mean? *...was Komui just touching his own nonexistant ears? It couldn't be...*

[technicore]

You've got ears, too. *fiddling with his the rabbit ears again* This happened to me once before-- it's a little annoying. They keep getting in my face...

[curiousmalady]

*WAITAMINUTE! This is crazy.* Y-you mean... we actually have ears.

*No, this can't be it. This Komui himself must be a figure of his imagination. He backs away a bit. He needs Bak. This is not good at all. But he wonders... this doesn't have the unquestioning, fear-ridden, dreamlike quality of his other hallucinations. This seems so real...no. This is not real. He glances around the hallway nervously, wondering if anyone saw him talking to his hallucination.*

[technicore]

*nods* It's not the first time this has happened.

[curiousmalady]

*Flail, he doesn't know what to do. Backing away a little more.* A-are you... I'm... I think I'm hallucinating again.

*Komui might be able to see how pale and thin he looks, as well as the rather dirty pajamas and hacked-off hair.*

[technicore]

... Huh? You mean about the ears? No, you're definitely not hallucinating, or if you are then I am too...

*blink* ... You don't look so good.

[curiousmalady]

A-are you sure?...

I'm fine. I feel much better, just... I've got cat ears. *Plus he's still starving, he does feel a bit weak.*

[technicore]

Positive. I had this happen back before you were even here. I think Cross still has pictures of it.

Well, that's good. At least it's not rabbit ears? Those don't get in your face.

[curiousmalady]

It's happened to you before? Do they wear off, then?

[technicore]

Yeah, they go away on their own after a while.

[curiousmalady]

...they do? Is there any specific way to get rid of them? *Even though he's already beginning to like them a bit, they're unnerving.*

[technicore]

Nope. Just have to wait it out, which could take a little while. Mine lasted about a week last time. *tugs on them*

[curiousmalady]

...This is so weird. *Grabs a hold of his tail*
