Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[xGoggles]

Dan nods, half amazed that Circe was so great she didn't even need help from a genie, half also feeling disappointed he couldn't do anything to repay her for the care she has given him. "Ahh, I guess maybe I should go look around the manor then, to see if I can help around somewhere... For, umm, practicing my powers..." He was about to turn around, but stops as he thought of something, then asked Circe "Are there any ground-rules, on what I'm allowed to change around in the Manor? Like, I don't think you'd be very happy if someone wished to replace all the water here into lemonade..."

[Ookalf]

Ground rules, huh? *Circe thinks about this for a moment.* For the most part, I'd just say to use common sense. You know, don't do anything that interferes with our ability to live and work here. Things like that.

"Ahh, yes! Of course. I'll be careful and make sure the magic of the wished won't get out of hand. Umm, I.. I guess I'll be on my way then?..", he says ready to leave further down the hallway. He was fairly certain Circe would be able to find him when or well..if.. she ever needed him.

"Bwuah!" Marie is splatted! She flails briefly before falling back off the ladder, onto her back, dropping the basket in the proccess. The cocomelon quickly absorbs into her body and clothes while the basket, luckily, lands right-side up with all the fruits gathered so far still in it. The dog-girl's fur turns slightly rougher and wilder, her hair grows much longer, and her bust and hips expand considerably...and after a moment she stands up, unharmed, but changed. "Urr...where'd that come from? I hope nobody'll be mad," she frowns, placing a hand on one hip and looking at her new appearance.

Feel free to go, then. You know how to find me if you need me. *And just like that, Dan is now free to explore the manor once again.*

*It's a strange sensation, no doubt. However, the sounds of her fall seem to have drawn some attention, as one of the manor's nearby windows opens up and a maid's head pokes out to look around.*

[Whatevr89532]

The wolf-girl's ears twitch and she turns toward the open window, waving nervously at the maid. "Hi cuti--I mean, hi! A huuge gust of wind just blew a cocomelon right off the tree at me."

[xGoggles]

"Yes, with the map and such... Okay, umm, cya...", he says then went on his way.
While walking, Dan takes some time to think about what to do now. Walking around the manor aimlessly didn't seem like a good idea, even boring even... He takes his phone and checks for any messages, if none, he might decide to send some texts, asking if any of his contacts needed some help.

*The maid looks at Marie.* Yeah, I can see that... You're the one who made that noise just now, then?

*Checking his phone, Dan sees that he has a text from Penny!* "Yo! U doin anything now?"

[Whatevr89532]

"Yes! I was yelling in surprise at being splatted and then falling. Sorry..." Marie taps her index fingers together nervously.

[xGoggles]

Dan smiles a little upon discovering Penny texted him back. He guessed Penny was up for most of the night and slept in late. He texts her back saying he was free now and has something quite interesting to show her, then asks where they should meet up.

Eh, I guess it's fine if you're fine. ...You are fine, right?

*The reply comes soon after.* "Cool. I'll be waiting @ the pool. CU there!"

[xGoggles]

He nods reading the text, taking his map to see where the pool was.. then it started to hit him... At the pool.. were they supposed to go swimming? Did he have to bring swimwear with him?... Swimwear... Penny in.. all those maids in.. so many girls cute girls all in..~! His face became all red just at the thought of it... M-Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...
Dan continues to walk flustered, his eyes glued to the map, he wasn't really looking ahead where he was walking, just following the directions on the map, lost in thought.

[Ookalf]

*The pool is a bit of a walk away, but it shouldn't be too bad... Provided he doesn't bump into anything while he's staring at the map, of course. Its person-tracking function should help him avoid other people here, if he's watching the area around him, but if not...*

[AmbushCat]

*If not, then a few meters from the pool room's entrance he'll collide with someone standing in the middle of the hall: the maid previously seen in this post, staring straight at the doors and not seeing Dan's approach. Or perhaps she simply doesn't care.*

[xGoggles]

On his way there, his mind still distracted by the thoughts of cute girls in bikini.. he takes a pause, and thinks what he'll even do there without swimwear himself, staying on the side of the pool, fully clothed, not fitting in, and standing out like some kind of creep?... No thanks!
Dan figures he might as well wish himself some swimwear on, so he did.. the swim trunks he had imagined didn't fit so well on her now wider genie hips..as when he used his powers again he transformed back to her genie-body..but only in swim-trucks..topless! "Aaahh~!", she let out, panicking, she looked around to see if no one was watching, she quickly wishes the swimwear to match her body, so it did, giving her a black&red swimsuit that accentuated her form rather well, to her own embarrassment...

Thinking it might be too risky to wish around again, getting the right clothing and gender to match, she would just deal with this for now. Besides now the whole 'sticking out' issue was solved.. somewhat...
And she'll have to show her genie-form eventually if she'd demonstrate her powers to Penny... She hopes the maid won't laugh about this... Umm, would Penny even recognize her if she came like this? Dan pondered about this topic some more while heading towards the pool.
Not bumping into anyone, she had eventually learned her lesson to look where she was going...
She halted, looking at the cat-lady at the entrance of the pool, staring at the doors. Dan wasn't sure if she should say something or just wait and see what happens.
