[Dual Post]

[whitrthanwhite]

After that session with Professor Wakahisa... I feel like a massive burden has lifted from my shoulders. The world feels clearer, the sun brighter, and... I feel so much more happy and aware of the world around me.

... That being said, I have things to attend to. I'll be back hopefully soon.

[Event]
::Let's have one of those fun do stuff where you want events. Maybe you're walking back to one of your dorms, or maybe you're sneaking into the woods for a little extra night practice. Or maybe you're returning from the school after dealing with personal matters. Or hell, on the streets of Domino City.

Well, Shiroko dressed in a black Lolita dress, with top hat and mantle in tow. ... Though something seems off about her. She's definitely Shiroko, but her hands are gloved black. And if you take a close look at her face, there's... something very odd. Her hair looks shinier. Her skin looks much clearer but it looks deathly and unnaturally pale. Her green eyes seem... a little too big to be real. Maybe it's just the twilight fooling you? But. Something seems very very bizarre.

And then there's the fact her walking and movements seem a little... rigid?

Perhaps you would like to talk to her about it?::

... That's good at least, that you seem to be feeling cheerful, Shiroko.

... I do partially have to wonder what was done to make you that cheerful though... But I guess it's not my place to ask.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I had an epiphany, I think.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Ah? An epiphany?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Yes. A moment of total clarity. And... I just feel better for it.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... Well, that's good. I hope you continue to feel better, Shiroko.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I doubt that will be a problem at all, Shikou.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Hahah.

Well, I hope at least whatever you need to do, goes well.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's relatively simple and shouldn't be a problem in the slightest.

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"...You seem to be taking your usual sense of style a little farther than normal, 'roko."

She's walking behind you, carrying a big sack of notebooks and card boxes.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Huh? ::She turns her head and blinks at you, Susan. But there's something really weird about her neck turns and her eyes blink.::

Oh. It's you DeRay. How so?

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

She kinda tilts her head at Shiroko's neck. And eyes.

"Normally it's like a 7.. you're at a 9 or 10 right now."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Her neck's muscle didn't seem to turn like they should of. It seemed a little too solid. And her eyes... look a bit big. Vaguely cartoon-ish big.::

What changed? ::She taps her chin. And... that doesn't sound like flesh tapping flesh.::

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

That's. upsetting.

"The.. hat is new.."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's not that recent. It's a rather nice design.

::She pops it off of her head, wisps of hair go flying about, which she rigidly brushes back into place.

She turns to you, and hands it to you.

... Why does her mouth look jointed.:: Would you like to look at it, DeRay?

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

She's trying -very- hard not to stare.

"No.. that's.. that's alright. That sort of fashion isn't really my scene.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

... Hrmm.

::Puts her hat back on. Then her hand goes into a bag, and pulls out a book. Shiroko skims through it. She reaches a page and then brings it to you, showing a very regal looking 20 something wearing flowing silk robes and dresses, with a very nice done up hair style with a tasteful crown.::

I think that sort of fashion would be more of your scene.

::Her skin is really nice and clear, and a little glossy. The moonlight and stars seem to reflect off of it.::

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"That's.. a little.. extreme."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I think it's probably a bit much, but I think silk and other soft fabrics is definitely more your style, DeRay. But it should be simple. Possibly with a jacket.

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"...You think a lot about this."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's been with me ever since I went insane back in December or so. Fortunately it's a positive for me.

If you ever want to splurge, I would suggest you let me try and make an outfit. ::Shiroko giggles, as her mouth clicks up and down unnaturally and not to how she's laughing.::

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

Her mouth opens slightly as she watches.

"I will. Remember to do that."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Alright. Now, if you don't mind, DeRay... I have some work to deal with.

::She closes the book, putting it in her purse. She then adjusts her glasses.::

Would you mind if I called you Susan in the future?

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"...No, that's fine."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Anyways, I need to attend to personal business for a few days, please run the Council and deal with anything in my absence.

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"..Right. I will run everything."

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Waves hand in a wooden manner.::

Bye bye.

::Shiroko walks away.::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

There's an Onni around. Doing Onni-ish things in DOmino and probably being happy for once. He does see Shiroko as he's walking by. ...Something definitely seems to be registering on the meter of vague wrongness.

...Add a little something to your outfit, Shiroko?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Turns and stops. She then turns her head and neck and body in general in a rather odd manner that would seem painful.::

Oh, Haitayuu. I wasn't expecting you here. And no, I don't think so. ::Blinks. You can vaguely hear a clicking sound.::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

...Man I get the shivers from that. ...And is that clicking?

...Huh. Something seemed a bit different. And yeah, I'm just here kind of walking around.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Yes, that was clicking.:: I hope you've found what you're looking for.

And I haven't changed anything.

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

In a manner of speaking.

...That's.. very weird. I'm going to hope I'm not hallucinating here. This is uncanny valley like woah.

And really? Something about you seemed... different.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's probably the fact I've realized there's no point in being so miserable as I generally am.

::She giggles, but... is her mouth's movements off from the sounds coming from her...?::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

... Is trying really, really hard not to stare at that, but does notice. This is getting creepy.

Hey, that's always good. It's not like misery gets anyone anywhere. You gotta look up and start climbing.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

And that's what I plan to do. I'm climbing to make things for me and everyone better, Haitayuu.

::She tilts her head, clicking her eyes closed. She looks happy, but she really seems weird doing it.::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

Sounds awesome, Shiroko. Don't forget about those of us still struggling to get a foothold, though.

He smiles, but definitely feeling very creeped out by the whole clicking and stiffness.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't forget you in the slightest, Haitayuu. We made a promise, correct?

::... Well, she definitely seems to be Shiroko...?::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

You got that right!

...This is..very odd. But yes, it is Shiroko. And for that he's happy.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Though, unless you need help, I should probably get going, Haitayuu. I won't be at school for a little while.

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

Oh? Where ya goin'?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's more of a whom rather than a where.

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

...I'm afraid I probably don't understand.

*Scratching his head a little confusedly*

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's a bit difficult to explain at the moment, but I'll be sure to tell you everything when I get back, alright?

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

Alright. Sounds good!

If you wanna drop by for s'more roleplaying when you get back, feel free. But I'll make sure the coucil doesn't go to pieces without you.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I would love to. And do help Susan with her problems, Haitayuu.

::She smiles again, but... it seems rigid as hell.:: ... Would you mind if I called you Onni?

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. And I'll try.

::Doesn't show how the smile is making him a bit freaked. Nope, not one bit!

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Thank you... ::Her arms fall flat and she stands straight.:: Well, I need to be going. ::There's something with how her mouth keeps opening.::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

...Right. ::He nods curtly. God that's so weird.::

Do stop by, when you get back, Shiroko.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I will. ::She smiles and then leaves.::

[becomeanwarrior.livejournal.com]

Smiles and waves as she leaves, waiting until she's gone.

...Something's up. Muses as he walks away.
