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 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.]

Date: 2011-01-25 10:58 pm (UTC)...
What's wrong?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-25 10:59 pm (UTC)This... isn't me.
[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: 2011-01-26 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 02:14 am (UTC)... You alright?
[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 07:01 pm (UTC)...I can't go home.
[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: 2011-01-26 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 12:22 am (UTC)[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: 2011-01-27 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: 2011-01-27 11:28 pm (UTC)No, I'm not David. I'm sorry, kitty.
[action]
Date: 2011-01-27 11:33 pm (UTC)I'm supposed to be a girl, too. I'm fifteen. [She tucks her knees up to her nose and wraps her arms around her legs. Haine's legs. Whichever.]
[action]
Date: 2011-01-27 11:46 pm (UTC)[Fifteen. The same age as... no, not thinking about that; she has enough on her mind already.
Ayumu frowns slightly, considers a moment longer, then straightens and holds out her hand to the frightened-girl-turned-man.]
Well, sitting out here in the cold isn't helping either one of us. We're not far from the house where I live... would you like a cup of tea?
Re: Action
Date: 2011-01-28 06:05 am (UTC)But.....you're not like when Chi met you before, Not-David. Did you get a bad pokey-pokey?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-29 04:53 am (UTC)But you need clothes. [Nill takes the other woman's hand and stands up.]
Action
Date: 2011-01-29 04:54 am (UTC)Haine. You met Haine?
[action]
Date: 2011-01-29 05:00 am (UTC)I suppose trailing sleeves would make serving tea a bit more complicated, wouldn't it? Mm, well, if you don't mind a quick side trip to the clothing store, first, ah... I beg your pardon, I don't believe I introduced myself. I'm Ayumu.
