The Secret's Aftermath

[nutcase17133]

Nutcase reached behind him and seemingly pulled a new shirt and some pants out of nowhere. He then said to Fujin, "Here, it may not be what you're used to but a dress would get in the way in our line of work, ma'am."

[mugenginga]

Fujin looked at the clothes blankly. She didn't know why, but something told her she had never worn pants. And even worse, she wasn't entirely sure how to put them on. She nodded and took the clothes.

"Do you know of any place I can change in private?"

She was still completely unsure how to put pants on, but she didn't want to reveal that. The girls in the group had on pants, was it unusual to be unfamiliar with the attire? She looked down at the clothes, her confused face getting worse.

(OOC: In her canon culture, pants were extremely rare. I'm not positive anyone wore them, but most of Zeal wore robes. I'm not entirely sure how often she dressed herself, either.

I say this because even her little brother had a robe outfit, although there were some detail differencest hat probably applied to the male version of the outfit. Length, for one. So yeah. XD)

[nutcase17133]

Nutcase suddenly becomes a blur as he is seen building something. When he's done, a changing booth is seen in the empty space Nutcase was working.

"Go on in, Fujin." Nutcase said as he opened the door. "Be sure to lock the door when you go inside."

As Fujin changed into her new dress, Kosumu had been taking this time to get to know his new friends. "You made... Of Cloth?"

Climber nodded, "Yeah, I am. It was just the way I was made..." He thought a moment, "You see, I was originally from an amusement park as a worke-"

"Amusement Park?" Kosumu's child-like curiosity, was definately abounding today.

Metal would've smiled if he could. "An amusement park Kosumu, is a place humans, and indeed other sentient beings on this planet go to have fun. They consist of rides that allow you to go fast, like your flying in a way."

Kosumu smiled widely at this, seeming pleased at this notion. "Sounds fun!"

[Pointless, but it was the best I could do at this time.]

[Firebreath Fishslap]

Taffy shrugged. "They're fun until you puke."

He yawned. "I think Bea's got a good idea. I'm going to bed too." He stood up and headed to his own room to sleep.

[mugenginga]

Fujin nodded, her eyes a little wide at Nutcase's powers. She was sure it was some type of magic, but if she had once known it, it was lost along with her memories. She walked over to the stall and opened it. The lock could be heard rattling as she took a few seconds to figure out how it worked. Once it was locked, she got to the task of switching the outfit.

She pulled the robe off carefully, looking at it sadly in her hands before tearing off a strip. She turned her head as she did so, feeling almost as if she were tearing part of her past as she did so. She set the violet strip to the side and fought for a while with the shirt before managing to get it on. The sleeves were so small compared to her robe, after all.

She reached for the pants and struggled with them for several minutes, likely causing concern for those outside. Even when she managed to get them on, they felt horribly uncomfortable. She didn't realize she had the things on backwards and they were the type that were cut so that wearing them that way felt bad. She grabbed the strip of her robe she had pulled off and gathered up her hair, tying it as best she could to set a high ponytail. This style seemed most natural, and she was sure it was how she had worn it before losing her memories.

She jiggled the lock again, taking a full minute getting out. She pushed open the door and stepped out. Aside from the pants being on backwards, she looked rather cute in the white shirt and violet cotton pants. She still had on the shoes she had been wearing before, which seemed to work with the outfit. And her face could be seen better than before, although she still allowed her bangs to slightly conceal her eyes.

(OOC: Her hair style is the same as the picture in her profile. Her shoes are similar to the picture I'm about to link to, except they come to more of a natural boot like point and the cuff parts are tipped in white at the bottom like the shoes. Here's the picture, and yes its of the brother she has no memory of when he was a kid: www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/08/ct-janus.jpg)

Kosumu smiled cutely at Fujin as she stepped out. "Looks good!"

Metal however, happened to notice the poor girl seemed a bit uncomfortable. A concerned emoticon appeared in his visor, " Are you okay? You don't look particularly comfortable..."

"She... Doesn't?" Kosumu hadn't noticed, and he metally kicked himself for not noticing it.

[nutcase17133]

"No wonder, the pants are on backwards." Clown Man said as he studied Fujin's attire carefully.

Nutcase then said, "She's probobly not used to the idea of pants. Go on and try again, Fujin. We'll wait. They'll feel better when you put them on the other way."

[mugenginga]

"It is really all right. Perhaps I am simply not used to this attire," and then Clown Man spoke, "I am very sorry!"

Her face flushed with embarassment. Way to look the idiot in front of others. She didn't seem to hear Nutcase's comment as she fumbled with the lock and made her way back into the stall. As she adjusted her pants, she was grateful the shows slipped through so easily. But she was still very embarassed. Even though she hadn't heard Nutcase, he was right. She was not used to pants.

She did a little better with the lock on the way out. The pants were on the right way now, but they still seemed rather uncomfortable. She had gathered up her robe this time in an attempt to avoid further embarassment. She looked down at the pants and then up at the group, "I do not wish to be rude, but may I ask how these are easier to move in than what I was wearing?"

She felt slightly suffocated, despite the pants being a fairly loose fit. If what she had been wearing was her usual attire, it was understandable. A robed outfit is not that hard to move in and is far looser than a pair of pants. There was also the general feeling of "this is wrong" she was dealing with as she rejoined the group. She didn't know why, but it was.

[nutcase17133]

"Let me put it this way; a dress or robe is a long garment which usually stretches to the ground from one's waistline. If you were to run, there's a good chance you'd trip, even if you picked up the front end." Nutcase said matter-of-factly.

Clown Man then said, "And even if you were used to that, that dress or robe of yours has seen better days. Running in it would shake it to pieces resulting in a rather embarressing situation."

[gantzgun74]

Metal nodded in agreement "Exactly what I was going to say." He gave the girl a small look this emoticon appearing in his visor, '^-^;' "You're a lot better off with these."

A small yawn caught some attention. Turning, they saw Kosumu had been the one responsible. "Tired... Haven't slept... last night..."

Climber raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

"Busy..." Was the simple answer, as Kosumu's eye's drooped a little. "Have bed?"

A nod was the response. "Certainly." Metal turned to the Climber, motioning to Kosumu. "Climber, would you mind showing Kosumu to a room?"

The manequin nodded before motioning for Kosumu to follow him. "Come on, I'll take you to a place to rest."

"Coming." Kosumu smiled at Fujin. "Night night Fujin." That was the last thing said before he followed after the Climber.

[mugenginga]

Fujin gave a warm smile toward Kosumu, despite it lacking confidence. In fact, it had been shown that was the blue-haired girl's dominant trait. A lack of confidence and certainty about things. She turned towards Metal, "I have promised myself I would stay with Kosumu. I do not know why, as I have already mentioned I have no memories. But somehow... somehow he makes me think of a little brother. I wonder if I have one," she looked saddened, "If I do have one, indeed any family, they are probably quite distraught..." she turned away, reaching for her chest as if something should be hanging there. As usual, she grabbed thin air, but clutched onto it all the same.

(OOC: That, boys and girls, is dramatic irony. XDD)

[gantzgun74]

Metal appeared more then understanding at this. "Of course." He motioned to himself, "Follow me, we'll go catch up with Climber."

As the two left, they were unaware that another pair of eyes had watched the gang walk off one by one. Star Man, whom had peeked out of the PET to see what was going on, had seen the whole thing. "Hmmm..." His eyes had been stuck on Kosumu, until he disappeared through the door with Climber. "I can't help but have the feeling that I've seen him somewhere before..."

[nutcase17133]

Nutcase grabbed Starman's PET and said, "Come on, we'd better go too."

With that he and the two navis went back into the house.

A few minutes later, Nutcase was later seen playing his Nintendo DS, a copy of Pokemon Platinum in the game slot. He just barely managed to win the Silver Stamp at the Battle Hall after his Lucario had been lucky enough to go against a Regice in the battle against the Fronteir Brain, Argenta. Even when paralyzed by the iceberg pokemon's Thunder Wave, Lucario had managed to score the win.

"YES, finally! Now I have all the silver stamps!" Nutcase cried triumphantly.

"Yeah now you have to do all that again to get the gold ones." Clown Man snickered as he wondered if Nutcase could endure the hieghtened difficulty.

[mugenginga]

Fujin nodded and followed Metal as he caught up with his friends. She was meeting a lot of people today, and it was a bit overwhelming. She seemed rather interested when Nutcase pulled out his DS, but remained silent despite smiling over his enthusiasm. She turned to Metal. The robot intrigued her the most of the group, although it was clear they all had special powers and abilities.

As Nutcase played his DS, she turned to Metal, "Metal, is it possible for me to inquire as to your past? I do not mean to pry or force you into an uncomfortable situation, but I find it interesting to hear the past of those I meet. I suppose it comes from not knowing my own..."

(OOC: I feel the idiot for not saying this earlier. Fujin has a rather large magical aura, and those with significant senses in this area can sense its also extremely muted, almost as if some kind of buffer has been placed over it)
