Ten Forward Lounge : Halloween Shenangians

Gaila squeaks.

She tries not to do that. People have a tendency to think it is adorable, and while that can be all kinds of fun in the right circumstances, she tries to aim for more professional as a general trait.

But, no. She squeaks. She squeaks, and spills her hot chocolate (laced with enough cayenne pepper to turn it pinkish) over her hand.

Then again, given her clothes have suddenly morphed in this, she has good reason.

If nothing else, she's now over six foot thanks to those heels. And there is a tiara. And...a whip?







"Um?"

"Are you alright?" Yuna turned towards the woman as she yelled with a worried expression. She didn't see anything strange about the way she was dressed but then again she didn't know how Gaila was normally dressed.

[writes_with_digital_ink]

"I'd like my clothes back? There was a light and now I'm dressed like this and...am I Wonder Woman? Why am I Wonder Woman. I mean she's awesome but I didn't agree to this and I spilled my hot chocolate."

Which she is going to drink now that her burst of words has finished for the moment.

"This ship," Gaila says after a moment, "is damn strange."

[whereishe]

"Seems so... um.. who is wonder woman?" She hasn't been on this ship long but she assumed it was someone who dressed is tight clothing like that she is now wearing.

[writes_with_digital_ink]

"Uh, famous character in Earth stories a couple centuries ago."

This calls for more hot chocolate.

"Hi, sorry, I'm Gaila."

[whereishe]

"Yuna." She smiled for a moment before lightly tapping her chin as she thought. "I've never been to earth but I have heard some about it."

Yuna flipped through her pouch for a moment before looking back up at Gaila. "I don't know if I have a jacket or anything..."

[writes_with_digital_ink]

"Pleased to meet you, Yuna. And ooooh, I wouldn't say no."

[whereishe]

"Nice to meet cha." She pulled out her sphere and tried to think back to her dresspheres. "I'm afraid anything I'd have to cover you might just be worse..."

Yuna closed one eyes while looking at Gaila. The best she had on her was a moogle suit.

There's a wince.

"I'll live with it. At least I have kickass boots."

They match her hair.

[whereishe]

"That's true." Yuna has always been found of wearing boots. Her smile widens. "You were drinking hot chocolate right? Why don't I get us some?"

[writes_with_digital_ink]

"Oh, I've still got plenty, despite gravity's best efforts, but you should totally go and grab some. It's delicious."

Even if most people don't put quite enough pepper in it.

[whereishe]

"Gravity sucks. Gimme a sec." She waved and then walked over to the bar to see about getting herself a hot chocolate. She really didn't know what they entailed so she left it up to the person serving. When she walked back over she had the steaming cups in her hand and a smile spread across her lips.

Yuna smiled before taking a seat. "What kind of strange things happen here?"

[writes_with_digital_ink]

There's a pause.

"You mean beside a bunch of us turning up randomly from all kinds of times and places and dimensions?"

Not that she's objecting to turning up! Particularly as in her case the choice was 'turn up' or 'explode with rest of her ship'

[whereishe]

Yuna waved a hand as an awkward smile adorned her face. "Yeah. Where I was last seemed to do that to so I've kinda gotten used to it." She took a long sip of the hot chocolate and then shivered as its warmth spread through her.

[writes_with_digital_ink]

Gaila looks startled.

"How do you get used to it?"

[whereishe]

"I honestly just try not to think about the things I miss and focus on what I have." Though it didn't always work. She tried to be strong but it didn't always work out as planned.
