Sudden Appearance

[Miku-chan]

"Sasha wouldn't hurt a fly... Well maybe she would if you question her unique skills...but anyway, a service like that will help you understand women better as well." Katy says as she releases the towel and tosses it wryly at Elliot

[Raleigh]

You got bullied because it was situationally funny and you tend to deserve it. For a guy who spends a lot of time in drag you seem to have a wondering eye and a very pervy mind. Some women picking on you might help fix that so I see no problem with that.

[Harri-chan]

"It's not a crime to find girls attractive! And... I fail to see how stuff like this... ", he said, motioning down to the Chef's dress, "... is going to help me understand girls". Shaking his head, he picked up another plate of food and took it over to the spring, bending down to offer it to Raleigh.

[Raleigh]

Thanks. *Eats some of his food.* Well I would think it might make you reflect on the unfairness of societal expectations that females struggle under for one. For a woman to be employable and desirable in modern society she is force to wear things that may be more exposing than she wishes or keep a figure that requires more work than she desires to put into it. Of course while the whole being fit and the like is an issue regardless of gender it is still one to consider. Then again there is also the issue of perhaps females are having to wear clothes that are more restrictive than they personally may desire but can't wear what they want due to attitudes like the one you expressed in that club about them 'asking for it' by dressing that way. Still, not like I know much about the whole thing since gender identity is a concern for physical beings.

[Harri-chan]

Elliot's eyes narrowed a little, "How... do you know what happened in the club?", he asked, his gaze darting back and forth between Raleigh and Katy, before he straightened up and set the plate back on the table. "You're kidding, right? You think the women around here have to go to great lengths to become employable? No way. Around here it's the complete opposite".

[Raleigh]

Oh? I haven't had any trouble getting jobs around here. Then again I can shapeshift so perhaps that is part of why. I can assume whatever is the preferred form of the employer to start with. I think you are running into issues at this point because you aren't adapting enough perhaps?

[Harri-chan]

He blushed, looking down at the rest of the food on the table, and then tugged at the dress slightly, "I've worn a dress for my last two jobs... how can I adapt anymore than that?", he mumbled, going bright red.

[Raleigh]

Preemptively turn yourself into a girl before you apply for the job perhaps? I know of a few people around here that have items that would allow you to shift back and forth between genders as needs be. I'm pretty sure Vulpina could supply you with quite a few such things.

[Harri-chan]

"Yeah, I had a feeling you were going to say that. Don't you think it's a little... dangerous though? I'm sure the time I already spent at work as a girl has left it's mark... I'm worried what the long term effects could be of spending so much of my time as one... ", he blushed, moving back to stand behind the table after picking Katy's towel up from the floor.

[Raleigh]

What? You mean like hormone bleed over between the two forms? Well there are ways to deal with that. The most expedient is to just be both at the same time or be a neutral with traits leaning toward feminine. *He shrugs.* You physical creatures always put more emphasis on your bodies than I can quite understand. They are merely mutable vessels for your souls after all. I always did find it odd that human bodies didn't alter to suit the souls they house.

[Harri-chan]

"Well, when I started working for Julia as a girl.. somedays I'd wake up on my day off, and put girl clothes on without even thinking, and ever since Ellie got separated from me, the same thing has started happening. How am I meant to find a girlfriend if I'm acting more and more like a girl without even realising?", he blushed.

[Raleigh]

Heh, if you haven't noticed by now let me tell you a little secret. Most of the women here are either lesbians or bisexuals to start with. You in a dress will probably only be more of a turn on than a downer. I can't say all are that way but it seems to be the theme. Most of those color transformations even explicitly say they make the victim that way. Besides, you are young yet so why be so hung up on finding a mate already. I mean you aren't even a half century old yet.

[Harri-chan]

"It didn't seem to work with Julia... ", he blushed, but his expression did grow quite thoughtful, atleast by Elliot's standards. "I'll keep that in mind though... ", he murmured, "For both the job hunting and getting a girlfriend... it'll be a little weird to try and act natural though".

[Miku-chan]

"Then be yourself and keep getting into the same situations again and again until someone finally traps you permanently as a brainless bimbo or succubi feeding cow that is kept in thrall til your a withered husk or emotionless shell." Katy says as she looks Elliot hard in the eyes. "oh, mother a package came for you by way of raven carrier. It's in the main basement vault."

[Harri-chan]

Elliot looked genuinely hurt by Katy's words. "Hey... there's no need to be mean. I already said I'm going to try it, I just said it's gonna be hard. I don't exactly have a ton of experience being around girls.. I don't know how they act", he explained.
