Open RP - Not Quite Perfect

[gamerspy]

L had suggested trying to create charms triggered by mood or action, rather than by the traditional wave-wand-yell-incantation, and that's just what Matt's doing. It's tricky work - not quite the same as the runework Matt's become used to - and it's the first time he's tried it. So it's not really that surprising that he messes up.

B had gone back to get mean B out of his closet (what? It was the best place he could think of.)

Since Beyond dashed out first, it was him that got hit by the spell. He shook his head.

"What?" Blink. "Finally. YOU! He turned to uke!B. "Give me back my body!"

"IT'S B'S NOW!"

(You may have missed it, but the gist is normal B is in a cat's body and uke!B has the human body for now. That isn't related to the chocolate plot.)

[gamerspy]

"I'd like to point out that I have a gun," Matt says, quickly sizing up what must have happened.

[red_eyed_l]

"And you think I'm scared by a gun?" You should be Beyond, you're a cat.

"B is..." B cringed away. "Matt looks like a girl...don't shoot B!" He held up his hands to shield himself.

While B was distracted, Beyond tried to scratch Matt, and ended up on the floor. "OH COME ON! The vow works even if I'm a cat?!"

[gamerspy]

At this point, the only thing stopping Matt from shooting the damn cat is that L probably wouldn't approve.

"B. You're bigger than he is." Nodding at the normal B, ignoring what both of them are saying. "Why don't you drop him in the lake or something?"

[papayagami]

Much like the cat version of B, Soichiro was affected by Matt's screwup. At least it was a familiar one.

"Oh, not again!"

[gamerspy]

"... what the hell are you supposed to be?"

At least Matt's still human.

[papayagami]

Matt, shame on you! Not recognizing a Kirby.

"Matt? Is that you? I don't know. It packs a punch, and gains powers by...ah...eating its enemies. Don't ask me how I know this. I don't want to remember." Yes, eating Mikami would be traumatizing.

"What happened to you? You look shorter. And more female."

((OOC: And it just occured to me how dirty 'eating Mikami' sounds.))

[gamerspy]

"Yeah, it's me, yeah, I'm a girl. At least I'm not green."

He's a bit pissy. Sorry, Soichiro.

((... how did I manage to miss this for so long? *headdsk*))

At this point, anything to get away from the cheese smell still lingering in the room is a welcome distraction. Yukimura had finally convinced the house elves that allowing the cheese to go bad would be of a greater offense to the Hat than them using it. They had removed every last piece. But, the problem with the dungeon that was Slytherin was a lack of circulation. And, since he didn't want his kimono to smell of the stuff, he was wearing it, a pretty feminine style kimono with his sword tucked neatly to one side in the obi.

"Hello," he says merrily to the confused looking girl. The whole room has an odd feeling, kind of prickly, challenging him. It felt like a kenyou about to appear. He looked around, trying to make his surveying the room look less suspicious and a little more friendly and natural.

[gamerspy]

"Hey." Matt winces a little, something that can't be hidden by the high collar or the thick goggles - he even sounds like a girl. This is not good. He's beginning to flip through one of the books he has, probably to no avail. Fucking experimental magic. "Uh. I'm Matt, I don't think we've met."

He resists the urge to yell I'm not actually a girl oh Jesus.

[elegantsamurai]

Yukimura sits next to Matt, fighting down the growing paranoia he feels. He leans against her shoulder. "What a lovely name!" he coos, though he might be shaking with the effort to remain so casual and easy going.

[gamerspy]

"Uh," Matt says again. Because maybe this guy is just weird and touchy towards everyone, and he's probably just paranoid about the fact that he's suddenly another gender, and 'fuck off I have a boyfriend' would be making a lot of assumptions. Not to mention add to the impression that he's actually female.

He can feel some slight trembling, and shifts so there's a gap between them.

"Right. Well. Do you have a name?"

[serrulata]

He had not done anything to deserve the energy bitchslap he'd just felt, not that he outright knew of, but feel it he did, and Kurama felt... stronger for it?

Stronger and... taller.

Oh, damn. So much for secrecy. Looks like whoever he ran into would discover he was a kitsune whether he liked it or not.

[gamerspy]

Matt's met some pretty weird people at Hogwarts - he's a little less surprised when he meets those who aren't human.

"If anything weird's happening to you, I'm sorry and I'm on it," he says. If you can count 'flipping uselessly through some books' as being 'on it'.

[serrulata]

"I think "if" is a unnecessary addition to that statement, don't you?" Normally he'd be kinder about the situation, but he liked at least being in control of himself, if nothing else.

[gamerspy]

"How am I supposed to know if you're different from normal? I don't know who the hell you are."

It's not an ideal situation by anyone's standards.

[ijk_mno]

"Oh my."

L isn't taller- he's just hovering. The spell has knocked him a few inches up off the ground, where he's being supported, like some object at neutral buouyancy.

"Matt?"

[gamerspy]

"Uh."

Since Matt is a few inches shorter than normal, and L is up a few inches higher, it's pretty clear that someone is going to get a sore neck from all the peering. He looks more than a little embarrassed.

"Hey."

[ijk_mno]

"Help me down." He reaches for her, fairly sure he can pull himself back to the floor. "I've just lost gravity. You got a new gender, though. What happened?"

[gamerspy]

"You know we were talking about the silencing charms - seeing if they could be triggered by, uh, sensuality? I kind of took the idea and ran with it. Something fucked up." Matt shrugs, taking L's hands and tugging him downwards.

"Is your leg okay?" This has been a (probably annoyingly) frequent question over the last little while.
