Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[Ookalf]

...OK, yeah, I guess you do sound a little slow when you put it like that.

[AmbushCat]

*weak chuckle* I guess there has to be some sort of trade-off for strength, huh?

[Ookalf]

There's gotta be a downside somewhere... *Meanwhile, the maid returns with Zapana's drink.*

[AmbushCat]

*nods in appreciation at the maid and accepts the drink* True. Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

...And now I'm curious from thinking about the genie thing. If you don't mind me asking: if you had to pick a particular transformation for a favorite, what would you pick?

[Ookalf]

My favorite transformation? You know I don't think I've ever thought about it before... Maybe that one magical girl form, what did we call it... Medea, I think?

[AmbushCat]

Medea, huh? Do you still have the picture of that?

[Ookalf]

Um, I think so. Give me a moment... *Circe concentrates for a second, and an image appears in the air next to her.* Yeah, there it is.

[AmbushCat]

*snaps her fingers* I knew it! I knew it had to be a tanuki, but I just was not sure!

*The maid who'd asked her to stop pouting earlier gives her a questioning look, which Zapana waves off with a terse explanation of "time stuff".*

[Ookalf]

So, you remember this one now?

[AmbushCat]

Yep, sure do. *sips her margarita* I remembered the face better than the overall form.

[Ookalf]

Ah. ...Well, there you have it. If I had to pick one, I guess this would be it.

[AmbushCat]

*smile* Good choice. I never mentioned it back then for fear of breaking character, but I've always liked that look.

[Ookalf]

Ah. Well, thank you, I suppose.

[AmbushCat]

You're very welcome. *looks up at the ceiling for a few seconds before taking another sip* ...Weird. I can't recall the last time I sat down and really talked with someone.

[Ookalf]

You been busy lately?
