Lex thankfully took the offered shirt, but didn't look at Glen directly.
"...Thank you."
He put it on. "So. Now what?"
Not me this time. Candor replied grumpily, before promptly hanging up. Talk about rude.
Meanwhile, Glen would feel Erin once again pop into his head. She felt...flustered? Embarassed. Glen could almost see the gigantic blush on her face.
Alice shook her head. "Quit worrying, it's nothing big like that. Just...something that should have been shutdown. It's a small thing, honestly."
"....I do appreciate the concern. Thank you." Her face involuntarily rose in a gentle smile, and a very affectionate look. She then realized what she was doing and turned away, blushing.
"Um...Yes. I believe I do know what is going on..." Shuri paced around. "It seems you were not properly acclimated to a Zanz diet...My father told me this had a low chance of happening, but I suppose in our jubilation of visitors, we forgot to warn you all...I'm terribly sorry. It should wear off within a day or two....probably. I have only ever heard of it being permanent for one person."
She sighed, smiling as best as she could at everything. "Hopefully, we can still enjoy the beautiful day. We still have to do Sir Glen's Knighting Ceremony...Where is Sir Glen?"

Medea's heart beat twice as fast and sang at Alice's reaction. Oh no, no, no. This was supposed to be a platonic/physical thing. I was not supposed to start developing actual feelings for her. The white-haired girl averted her eyes and nodded. "Okay, stay safe. I have some heads to smash in. Give us a call if you need the calvary."
The rocker quickly ended the call and quickly sat on the edge of the bed in the room, burying her face in her hands. What am I gonna tell Ieria? What am I gonna do?
-dramatic music ensues-Erin seemed to freak out, and if she had an actual body, she would have been doing the trademark "Vale Princess Hyperventilation".
As it was, however, Glen would start floating again...if only for a second and the hapless genderbent highlander would crash to the ground. In Glen's mindscape, one could clearly see a blushing Erin hiding her face in her hands.
I spoke with Del...I mean, Mia....she...umm...was very kind. Although, er, she kinda...flirted with me. I didn't know what to do.
Meanwhile, Mia would pop back into Charon's head as well, feeling utterly pleased with herself.
You know, that Erin girl is really cute. she remarked cheerfully.

You flirted with Erin? Niiiiiiice.
In Charon's mindscape, he gave Mia a high five.
Though. I wouldn't.. uh.. get intimate with Glen under normal circumstances, you know that right? Today, maybe, but not normally. Unless ghosts can change people's appearances, or you can do it.. mentally.. I don't know how you'd be getting any.
During his musing, Charon bumped into Mau. A slight flicker of recognition went across his face, and he titled his head slightly in response to it. "Mau? Is that you? You look.. nice."
The traditional Charisse Scyllata perverse grin was back.
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Ai walked down the hallway wearing a shirt and pants presumably taken from someone's luggage without waiting for permission. Then he went back to his room. Ai quickly glanced in the mirror and ruffled up his hair in an approximation of Fang's hairstyle, so as to look somewhat more fashionable than before. He took a moment to admire his handiwork.
"Not bad. Beat that, Fang," he said. He emerged back into the hallway. "I think I'll go with the name 'An'. It's a unisex Vacuonese name that means — "
Ai never finished that thought, because he spotted a girl with messy black hair, which he immediately recognized as Mau. He gasped. Sparkles formed in his eyes and he reached out to place both his hands on Mau's shoulders.
"Is that you, Mau?!" he said. "Can you try on my clothes and some makeup for me?"
The first thing Iori saw when he returned was Medea, on the bed with her head in her hands. Iori frowned and quietly closed the door before making his way over without making almost any sound. He sat behind her and wrapped his arms around her hody, electing not to say anything.
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperI don't want to talk about it. Er, sorry, I mean, if you don't mind. Erin answered Glen, still rather flustered. Scratch that. She was very flustered.
Mia snorted. I know that. And I'm not planning on doing anything more than innocent flirting. Poor girl is jumpier than a squirrel.
....And then Mau showed up.
Well, helloooo.
Mia seemed rather impressed.
Pius raised an eyebrow at the implication of Remus' words, and then he looked over at Ayers with a shrug.
"Jack was off doing his own imbecilic activity. You could just ask him, right? He's not exactly someone who possesses the great capacity for equivocation."
Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%......We're supposed to believe that something we ate changed our bodies so much that we got our genders altered overnight? Yeah, as if. Just admit it, Shuri, you don't know what happened at all...
Lucy wandered off, hoping to find Jack... when she accidentally bumped into someone.
Damn it, I need to stop being so distracted.
"Um, sorry about that," she said to the person.
Crap, he managed to bump into somebody while sneaking around. Which basically disqualified her from any and all stealth attempts from here on out. A flash of pure fear spread across his face, unsure how to react to the sudden recognition. The look on Charon's face gave him away immediately, and thus Mau could only assume that the one preparing to play dress-up on her was Ai, then.
"Y-yes, thank you, and... If you'd like. I wouldn't mind." Well, if he was going to be a girl perhaps it would be prudent to dress girly and shit while the opportunity presented itself. Maybe the clothes would fit better too.
Hallway -> Team M A G C room
"You'll let me — ?" said Ai, or rather, An.
An clapped with absolute delight. Such a pleasant surprise! No resistance at all! In his head he was already thinking of the myriad ways to dress Mau up.
"Yes, this is your one and only opportunity to find out what it's like to feel pretty! Come on, I'll show you a new world!" he said. "You wait there, Charisse — I'll need you to judge."
An led Mau into his room. He pulled up a chair by the mirror and ordered Mau to sit. Then, he went over to his luggage case and started tossing things out on the bed looking for whatever he thought might look best. Eventually, he found something — a nice light blue blouse and a white skirt, along with appropriate underwear. He tossed them to Mau.
"I'm not looking," he said.

"Eh..." Mau almost wanted to take offense to that, he was pretty already damnit! But she refrained, because that would just be silly.
Instead he merely did as she was told, following An into his and Charon's room, taking a seat where instructed and waiting patiently as clothes were picked out. He took this moment to reflect on her new appearance. The change was definitely notable, he didn't quite look like she did before. He looked a bit like her own twin sister, or something to that effect.
Mau snatched the bundle of clothes out of the air, a light blush staining his face when her fingers wrapped around the panties. Technically speaking, Mau was a guy who was about to put on women's underwear. Women's underwear owned by one of his friends. In a certain way it was embarrassing to think about, although perhaps not more embarrassing than the whole fiasco at hand.
He quickly pulled her shirt over his head, placing it on the floor before redressing in the given skirt and blouse. She wasn't exactly sure how to make the clothing work, quite frankly, but eventually managed to get halfway proper into it, doing a little twirl for himself in the mirror. Damn, she was pretty. "Ai? I'm, um. You can look now."
"Wait, so it was the food that made this happen to us?", Stormer said, "How does that even work?"
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Shh no tears, only skirts now
"So cute!" said An. He seemed too distracted by uncontrolled desire to play dressup to realize he had given his — well, her — underwear to a guy. He simply watched Mau twirl on the spot. He's totally getting into it, An thought, and he smirked.
An clapped his hands together. "Right. Sit down and I'll do your makeup. We never get to see much of your eyes with that mop of yours, so let's deal with it. Hold still."
An proceeded to tackle Mau's usual scraggly low-fringe mess with a hairbrush, and held Mau's bangs to one side with two small hairclips. Then, he did Mau's makeup, primarily emphasizing her eyes. He found their silver color quite fetching.
"There. So, how do you feel? Wanna show the others?"

"Last time I saw her, Lady Glynda was rampaging through the corridor, calling for the Four Gods." Hope shook his head with a chuckle.
Turning to Stormer's disbelief he shrugged a bit. "I don't think we should try to apply logic to this in the first place." He mused, his hands holding Soph's and Yin's.
Mau frowned and sat herself back down. He liked the mop, but she supposed he would defer judgement of looks to the one in the room who was actually female. She merely sat in place, trying not to move too much or make any undue noises while An worked, eventually opening his eyes to see the real transformation.
"...Wow." Mau couldn't help but blush, feeling... kind of attracted to herself, right now. That was vaguely unsettling, to say the least.
After a short time of admiring himself, Mau looked up at An and smiled, nodding. "I think I do."
Charon was currently excitedly tapping his foot.
"Come on come on Come ooooooon!" he whined at the door. "Can I come look yet? I don't want to spoil myself until the look is done!"
He was really excited now. Visibly so. He should have gotten a sporran, honestly speaking.
He was sure Mau now looked amazing. Mau had always been confusingly cute (to Charisse/Charon, anyway) but now that he was a girl that confusion was gone.

"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants""Hey, thanks for indulging me and my silly dressup thing. I used to do this with my sisters, so ... it was a little nostalgic," said An. He smiled back at Mau. "Okay, let's show the world how great you look."
An led Mau back to the others in the hallway. "We're done!" he announced, loudly, and he moved to present Mau to the others. "Well, what d'ya think?"

Imuka wandered out into the kitchen, unaffected surprisingly by the whole swapping situation going on, considering she still had next to no clothes on, its not like she would be able to hide it if she had been.
The fox just sleepily wandered into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes a bit as she bumped into Ayers along the way... she looked at Ayers, then the coffee machine, then back to Ayers, then once again to the coffee machine, this exchange of glance focus continued for quite a while as she attempted to work out what was going on....
Then she decided she was not going to deal with this shit in her current state of half sleep, and went to grab a cup of coffee.
