manmade_angel[After this fiasco, Nill has removed herself from the house in order to both save herself some embarrassment and come to grips with a few things.]
[One, she somehow had been transformed into Haine. Nobody else had turned into people that were in Luceti (Badou was a cigarette for crying out loud), and yet there she was. In the body of the man who had saved her life. Two, Haine had vocal chords, and she could speak. It felt like cheating, though: using somebody else's voice when she had been born unable to make a sound. She felt so guilty every time she said something.]
[Three, there was someone talking to her. In her head. Something dark and scary and mean.]
[Isn't this fun? You're definitely not him, but we'll get along anyway, won't we? ...Hmmm... you haven't held a gun before. We can change that.]
[Nill drops her journal, starting up the video feed, and she slides down the wall of the alley she's hidden herself in and curls up to cry. How humiliating, how embarrassing... poor Haine, poor Haine...]

[Action]
Date: 2011-01-25 10:50 pm (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2011-01-25 10:58 pm (UTC)...
What's wrong?
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-25 11:08 pm (UTC)I'm him and it's... not right.
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-25 11:36 pm (UTC)I think...it's one of those experiments everyone was talking about.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-25 09:36 pm (UTC)And so she'd done the best she could, bundled into too-big clothing with the spare fabric tucked up as best as possible, and slipped out of the house in search of something she could deal with until this wore off. Hopefully that wouldn't be very long at all.
The movement in the alley as she passes catches her attention, though, and she frowns, visibly hesitating with a glance toward her destination and then back. Nobody else is in sight, though, so she finally edges closer, hesitant and wary.]
Something wrong?
[Even her voice sounds wrong, and she winces inwardly at the sound of it. She sounds like the young boy she appears to be, rather than herself.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-25 10:59 pm (UTC)This... isn't me.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-26 12:49 am (UTC)This isn't me, either. Trust me, I normally wear something a bit less... big.
[And she wrinkles her nose as she looks down at herself, then looks up again with a sympathetic smile.]
You're not hurt, are you?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-26 06:49 pm (UTC)Mr. Mihai said it would only be a week. [But for some reason that doesn't comfort her.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-26 10:37 pm (UTC)[So if this person isn't who he appears to be, who is he? His mannerisms are more like a frightened child than a grown man, so... perhaps it's the opposite of her situation. Ayumu hesitates for another moment, then reaches out to rest a hand on the stranger's shoulder.]
You haven't been here for one of the experiments, have you? Just arrived?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-27 10:47 pm (UTC)[But even if she had been here for a while, experienced an experiment in Luceti, it wouldn't have made a difference. The fact that she was Haine was the source of her upset.]
[She's quiet for a while, carefully thinking of what words to say, and finally speaks again. Her voice is soft, as though trying to keep something a secret.]
You aren't young, on the inside. Right...?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-27 11:10 pm (UTC)[She adds some warmth to voice and expression, tilting her head to one side a little as she responds.]
No, I'm not. I'm also supposed to be a woman, but... things are more than a little odd at the moment.

[Action]
Date: 2011-01-26 07:01 pm (UTC)...I can't go home.
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-26 10:53 pm (UTC)[Soul comes closer, still uncomfortable but his instincts said this was a younger person than what they appeared. Hell, maybe female too. He tries to look kind, which with Maka's face is very successful, if it was his own face, he'd probably scare her.]
Why?
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-27 11:26 pm (UTC)I'm in my friend's body. And he's angry. At the Malnosso, not me! [But that doesn't make it any better. She's never happy when Haine is unhappy.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:18 am (UTC)Ah... [He rubs his neck.] I'm in my friend's body too. [He points at himself.]
I'm usually a guy. But... I'm in my friend's body because she's important to me. Or something like that.
So... it might be weird, but it just means he's important to you.
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-31 11:17 pm (UTC)He's very important to me. [She nods.] He saved me.
[But he didn't turn into Nill. Haine turned into somebody else... That couldn't mean that he didn't care, right?]
He turned into another girl.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-01 02:24 am (UTC)[He decides to crouch down next to her, gathering from the "another girl" bit that this was in fact a girl. This makes him feel a little less awkward at happening upon a guy who looks a bit like him crying. Being pretty perceptive, he also gathers that she wouldn't have said that unless she was worried about this guy's feelings. He scratches the side of his head and glances at a rock to the right as he speaks next.]
Saa... you know, my friend really likes gold. She started turning things she touches into gold. But I don't think gold is the most important thing to her.

Action
Date: 2011-01-29 04:54 am (UTC)Haine. You met Haine?
Re: Action
Date: 2011-01-29 05:53 am (UTC)Action
Date: 2011-01-31 11:19 pm (UTC)Yes... this person's name is Haine. But the person inside isn't Haine, I'm sorry.
