...Hey, Yuffie? I think I would trade you to be Rufus Shinra right now.

[RIBBIT.]

...At least I can still stand on two legs? But my feet are all flappy and webbed...and I feel disgusting.

I hope I change back soon... Dumb Touch Mes.

[For anyone wondering, she's still in her room, on her bed, since the door was closed when she changed. Yes, I recolored a Touch Me. Also, she has one other change, which might be making some appearances.]

[BLEEARRRGH. ...okay done. Maybe. Sticking around just in case he isn't.]

[wingenvy]

[...Okay. Aerith is Hojo.

......Aerith is Hojo, what-

NO NO moving on. Aerith is Hojo, got it. ....Just... for little while. Probably.

....Hopefully.

Anyway.

......ANYWAY MOVING ON ew]

Cloud? Why are you in a dress...?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Yeah ew this situation is just so much squick-in-a-box. She's looking at Cloud with some concern and she'd like to pat his back, but, uh. ...Hojo's hands. Might not be a good scene for anyone in the bathroom right now. So she pulls the hand back and just sits still and watches and hopes to turn back into a Touch Me again because the Touch Me was so much better.]

[Oh God Hojo's eyes are staring at him. He can feel it because automatically you feel slimy and inferior. UGH EW. WHY. MALNOSSO. HATE.

Cloud has to stagger over to the sink and wash his mouth out and off before he can answer, and Goddammit there goes his lipstick. Might as well wash it all off, he already looks like he's crying ink over here.]

Because I wanted to be pretty.

This experiment is amazing, what]

....Pretty. Right. ...You look really pretty.

[oh god oh god oh god oh god]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[And this is the point where Aerith starts laughing, in sharp bursts, because this experiment is amazingly horrible and horribly amazing and Cloud's obviously affected again. She muffles her mouth with her hands, trying to get it back under control because the sound of it is creeping her out.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Oh God Aerith please don't laugh. [PLEASE.]

[wingenvy]

[fffff okay Aerith is the catalyst, and Zack has even less self control than she does. Open door. Close door.

Explode.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Cloud, you're out of luck. Once she hears Zack laughing too, it's just natural for her to laugh with him, even though it sounds all wrong and she's starting to cry, face down in her/his hands.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[A-aww, she's crying-

...HOJO'S crying... No, that's Aerith. Crying. Cloud reaches out to rub her back-

W-withdrawing before making contact...ugh, Hojo, just...skin crawling, general horror and discomfort...OKAY NO, Cloud, be a man. In a dress. In a pretty dress. Rub her back Goddammit.

Rubbing her back. He can do this.]

[wingenvy]

[STILL LAUGHI- wait is she crying. Is that Ae- Hoj- Aerith crying.

...Peering in now. Shit, it is her. D:]

S... sorry. You're both just... [Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh...]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[It is Aerith crying. It's not quite Aerith speaking.]

I suggest you abort that sentence, Fair.

And you-- [Those slimy Hojo eyes are directly looking at you, Cloud, and the tears don't seem to affect their frigidness.] --remove your hand.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Jerking back, hurrying to his feet and immediately leaving the room.

There is a time and a place to be pretty, but it is not in the same room as Hojo, even if supposedly Hojo is currently his girlfriend. Joint girlfriend with Zack.

Going to change and compose self, plz handle this Zack.]

[wingenvy]

[What. Why would you do this, Cloud. Why would you leave him with Hojo.

Hojo/Aerith. Wait that sounds wr- OH GOD WHY DID CLOUD LEAVE, WHY.]

...Not feeling so amused anymore, I take it?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[She rises from where she was seated, her back hunching just as the real Hojo's does, one hand idly polishing the spectacles.]

Why should I waste time on such frivolity? [She moves to leave, but--well--it's a bathroom, it's not that big, so she'd kinda have to brush by him.] If you don't mind. [Of course, with Hojo's personality, the small pleasantry is accompanied with an expression along the lines of "GTFO".]

[wingenvy]

[And here he'd managed to almost forget what a twat Hojo was.] Oh, of course. [He moves to open the door and get out of the way - despite the attitude, it is still Aerith. Sort of.] Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[She shuffles past him, and that seems the end of that--until the footsteps stop, only halfway down the hall.]

I really hate you, Professor.

...I'm staying in my room until the experiment's done.

[wingenvy]

[Zack glances over, lips pursing, then looks away again.]

... If that's what you want to do.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Yeah. She's sure. Zack's answered with the sound of her bedroom door softly opening and closing.]
