[... fuck it. She decides to throw caution to the wind. This way, she can know for certain where she stands.]

You really think people would accept me here? Even if they find out I used to be a boy?

[nilhilistic]

You wish to stay here? Why?

[conflictresolution]

I'm dead back home. This is all that is left.

[mightymorphin]

[Ohhh. Now they understand why she has that viewpoint. Whatever she dealt with on her own world must've been pretty harsh.]

Yeah, I think they would.

I mean, I'm not really either one, and no one's questioned it. Whether you choose to tell anyone is your decision, but I think it would go over just fine. The sheer variety of Chosen here means that everyone's pretty accepting, y'know?

[nightwild]

[Her ears perk up. There's a lot to take in, but...]

You're not?

[nuraridouman]

Oh, it never takes that long when I curse somebody. If we're talking real curses, that is.

[mightymorphin]

Nope. [And this is the first time anyone's asked about it, really.]

I was born a vaguely baby-shaped lump of goo. But my parents had been expecting a boy, so they encouraged me to look like a regular human boy growing up. And I just kept doing that for a really long time.

It wasn't until after I went through some pretty bad personal stuff that I realized that the face I was wearing not only didn't fit me anymore, it maybe had never really fit me in the first place. Luckily my team was fine with it when I started using my 'natural' face at home, even if I still had to use the old one when I go out in public.

I don't mind if people still refer to me as a guy, since I use masculine forms a lot. But that's not the whole truth of who I am.

[nuraridouman]

There is plenty about me that'd surprise you. But sadly no big car or luxurious houses.

[mightymorphin]

Good thing I like surprises. [Well, the mundane ones, anyway...]

Does this mean I should start buying you a more expensive brand of beer?

[mightymorphin]

Yeah, you see? I'm not a creep, and that's extra incentive to not even think about it.

[nuraridouman]

Mmmmhmmm. And Izuna-kun is a kamaitachi.

[His voice is steady and calm - they both know that this isn't about what kind of 'label' one has here. The idea is still the same.

'A freak who wanted to be a girl'? His eyes wander down to Fauna's undoubtedly female figure before he looks back up to meet her eyes with a silent mental shrug. There's that, he guesses. Men in women's clothing, playing women's roles, are hardly something new. He would have been shocked by something like this maybe in his teens, but when you spend several generations with people who can casually turn from animals into human or even objects, then male to female and the other way round are simple quirks born out of old hunting strategies. As for the rest, though.... ]

That sounds more like a good reason for an anger management therapy than some real hurdles to me.

[nuraridouman]

[Douman just laughs and waves at Morph as if they'd just made a great joke.]

Just like the famed pink elephant and my chains? It'd seem I'm getting more and more dangerous for you~ Though I can't say that it satisfies me that I don't seem worth the risk to you.

[nuraridouman]

There are better ones than the stuff you get everywhere?

[mightymorphin]

But- That's not, I don't mean-

[Congrats, Morph is officially tongue-tied.]

Are you saying that isn't a boundary for you?!

[mightymorphin]

Oh sure. There's at least a couple of different varieties here.

[nuraridouman]

A boundary?

[mightymorphin]

At what point is it just for fun, and at what point are you going to actually leave me a paste smear on the floor? THAT sort of boundary!

[nilhilistic]

And you trust this world to keep you alive?

You would have better luck choosing another.

[nightwild]

... Oh...

[She's just sort of. Slumping. Relaxing a little. Like tension she'd been carrying her whole life just got all cut out from her at once.

Morph's similar to Rin. They're like her.]

And you're... not scared to be that way here?

[nightwild]

I don't know who that is.

[... But it sounds like he doesn't believe that she's human. She grimaces, but...]

Therapy? I'm not weak. I can handle my own problems.

[mightymorphin]

Naaah. There's... other stuff I'd rather keep to myself, but I was more worried about my looks. On my world, being a visible mutant is a quick ticket to getting thrown out of a store or beat up by some creeps.

But hey, I wore something girly to Obon, and though I surprised someone no one was really bothered by it.

[sinningtree]

As you wish.

[He seems to have effectively put a stop to both topics at hand though, so that leaves Kurama without much more to say.]

Were there any other questions I might be able to answer for you?

[Not that he did a very good job of answering the first one.]

[nightwild]

Damn.

[What else can she even say about that? She's just... impressed. Confused. Envious. She's not brave- She just does the only things she knows how to do. But Morph? Morph knows the risks and is doing it anyway.

That's braver than she could ever be... Truth be told, she's jealous.]

... All right, you win.

[conflictresolution]

I trust this world sees value in my presence, alive or dead.

[mightymorphin]

[Morph had already decided that it was important to be an 'out mutant' for both Kurt's sake, and for their own comfort. For them, not hiding their gender identity went hand in hand with it.]

As long as you're willing to give the Chosen a chance, then I'm happy. If you decide we're no good, it can at least be on our own merits.
