A large, golden framed door materialized on the harbor of the city of Junon. The double, velvet doors opened, revealing a young girl. Rhode stepped outside from her Dream, her attention being caught almost immediately by the large ship, which was about to depart back to Costa Del Sol.
Rhode was wearing the clothes she would usually dress at home. A larger dress with many frills and lace and a matching hairband on top of her now neatly combed hair.
She looked around, trying to find the female version or her uncle. It didn't take her too long to find him, and she quickly waved at him, as the doors behind her closed and disappeared.
Tyki sometimes envied Rhode for the ease in which she moved about. He had to rely on his own two feet, or the Ark itself. But no matter. He heard the call and straightened up, turning to smile at the other Noah and lifting his own hand in a wave.
He moved over to her, noticing that he was still taller than Rhode, but...not by a heck of a lot. "Hi Rhode," he said, smiling cheerfully. The dress was a bit too small for his new body, and indecently short, which was probably part of the reason for the attention being paid to him.
Rhode stopped herself from hugging him... her, noticing the difference in height. But her smile didn't fade away. In fact, she couldn't help giggling softly at how "pretty" her uncle looked.
"Thank you, Tyki!" She finally hugged his waist, "But I still prefer the old you!"
The smaller Noah took a step back, looking up at the virus'd family member, "This world looks interesting! You've been here before, right? So show me around!"
Tyki slipped his arms around Rhode and hugged her back warmly, chuckling at her words. "I prefer the old me, too," he said. "But it shouldn't be too terribly much longer before I'm back to normal." His eyes twinkled as he looked her up and down. "Too bad the virus didn't affect you, too. I'd like to see you as a boy."
He slipped his hand into hers. They looked for all the world like sisters, with Tyki only a few years older, perhaps. "There's an ice cream stand near here. How about we start there first?"
Tyki laughed. "Wear what you want to wear, and take the rest to the till. We can pay for it all," he said, rising to his feet and moving with a bit of care towards the cash register. He walked back and forth while Rhode changed, getting more and more comfortable with the movements in the boots with the lower centre of gravity. He wasn't completely confident - he wouldn't want to fight this way - but it was good enough that he wasn't worried about being clumsy.
And soon they were on their way.
Rhode's doors made it easy to get from Junon to Gold Saucer, though Tyki winced as the first notes of the clashing, discordant theme music reached his ears. It sounded like something Jasdebi would like, but it wasn't to his taste. "All right," he said cheerfully. "What do you want to try first?"
Rhode was feeling much more comfortable, without her long dress making it hard to her to move her legs. And with her excitement, she would surely be moving a lot.
The Noah looked at all the lights and ads in Gold Saucer. A giant mog plush was jumping around, handing out ballons. Rhode took one happily, and looked at the floor, where there were indications to the games.
"Chocobo racing? What's 'chocobo'?" The younger girl asked Tyki, with a smile. Whatever it was, it sounded fun.
Tyki waved off the mog, not really wanting to burden himself with a balloon, even if he apparently looked young enough to rate one right now. He glanced at Rhode and shrugged. "All I know is that they're tasty," he said with a chuckle. "But I guess they race them, too. Let's go find out."
He headed for the chute that would take them to the raceway. Were they really supposed to slide down these things in a skirt?

"You look very nice, today."

There was indeed a haunted house.
