Loss Start - He Did Not Approve This Surgery

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

[Morning]

[Oh Paradisa. It is such a lovely morning isn't it? Birds chirping outside, gentle, crisp, autumn sunshine. It's one of those days you just want to laze about in bed, stretch a bit and maybe curl up to that special someone, and - ]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Hear a very feminine scream of panic. 

Now, normally, Ashura does not panic, but this... well, this is well worth the panic.]

[Afternoon]

[Having calmed down some and somehow being assured this was neither permanent nor probably long lasting, Ashura is out and about, walking around the Castle in his brand new body. He is trying not to feel to uncomfortable in perhaps the most modest outfit he could find in his equally changed wardrobe, and is intent on going outside to the gardens in hopes that nature will help him find a better sense of calm. Of course, this requires walking through the Castle and this, in and of itself, is an extreme source of discomfort. Please, by all that is holy, do not let anything happen that will just make this worse.]

[A BIT OF A PAUSE .......]

That's ... different.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

That, Brock, is an understatement.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I don't think I ever heard of this place doing that before. Dogs and kids and stuff, maybe but never ... opposite genders.

Uh. That is what the problem is, right?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is what the problem is, and I have known it to happen once before.

_{[To his own lover no less.]}

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Well ... how'd that one turn out? Was the guy a chick for like, a week or what? Maybe it'll be the same for you.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

The guy was Felix, and yes, it was only for a week, thank the gods.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Really? Poor guy. I just hope this isn't a trend or something.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I would say I hope the same, but as it has already happened to me it is a bit of a moot point.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Right. I guess that makes sense.

So, uh ... what are you gonna do?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

What else can I do? Just carry on as normal.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Well, if it were me, I'd just hole up in my room until it was over.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I would, but... that seems like letting the castle win.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Or saving yourself from something really embarrassing.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Yes, because this is not embarrassing enough, nor was running around like an evil villain from a book bad enough last week.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

This place kind of gets a kick out of embarrassing us, yeah.

I was a dog once. [IT DOESN'T REALLY COMPARE, BUT ...]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I was a child, a statue, and trapped within my ruby.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah ... I think you win.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Some people might argue that, but I must admit I have not had the pleasure of being an animal yet.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

It's not so bad. People take care of you and stuff.

As long as the person taking care of you isn't a total sadistic bitch, so ...

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Woman troubles?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Not like you have. But kinda.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

A past love spat or...?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

No, my girlfriend's just kind of a bitch. That's all. [He is very candid about this.]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Well, so long as you enjoy her company.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

For the most part, yeah.
