[lucetimods]

Who: Anyone!
What: All in here
When: Today, Tomorrow, Until April 2nd
Where: Anywhere in Luceti!
Summary: People in Luceti wake up as something they weren't before. An elf, a gremlin, a vulcan, or perhaps a mermaid? Try living in someone else's shoes... if they can even wear those.
Rating: Not recommended for those with weak constitutions, raging hormones, shipping goggles, or people just too cool and attractive for this kind of thing.

No need for LJ Cut! Mass action style stuff all around town. You can use this if you don't want to make a post. Or you can make a post anyway. Have at!

[Wait wait back up]

You really never learned to swim? Ever?

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

[Why is this such a strange thing...? Seriously.]

Oh, no. I never needed to... and I am not the kind of person who is particularly physically adept. Even in this body.

... Is it something of a requirement on other worlds?

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

Wh - [oh, awkward laugh] - no, no, no, it's not like that! It's just something fun to do, especially when it's hot out.

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

Well... perhaps I should deign to learn how. A friend of mine had already expressed some interest.

And, well, I presume my partner would enjoy me learning to swim as well. [He smiles.]

... Your form doesn't particularly seem capable of swimming at the moment, though.

Speaking of which, was there anywhere you wanted to go? I could take you there...

[greenshifts.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Aaah, probably not. At least, I've never seen one be able to swim.

Oh! Um, maybe near my apartment? I live in building 1.

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

Ah, certainly. [Robert offers the larva-like form of Ranka a smile before carrying her in the direction of Community Building 1. It's... well, okay, it's probably quite some distance, especially for a guy who's still getting used to walking as a turtle and who isn't very healthy to begin with. But it's a start.

As he walks, he asks, questioningly:] So, if the species you are is from your world... is it some kind of arthropod-like creature? You greatly resemble a larva of some sort.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[It's cool, she's in no rush.

And got it in one.]

Mm, I think so. At least, this is what Ai looked like as a baby, before he got bigger and molted.

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

Ai? Is that a friend of yours from this species? [A non-human sapient, perhaps? Robert is so excited, seriously.]

Perhaps the Malnosso chose this form if you were very close to Ai. [It might be a sort of cruel gesture from them... A harsh reminder of home and what had been lost.]

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

Aimo. So, Ai, for short. He was my pet for a while. [Before releasing him back into the wild kind of.

She's quiet at his suggestion for a long moment. Really, Robert's much closer than he knows.]

That might be it, then. Ai was there for me a lot of times when I would've been alone otherwise.

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the Malnosso wanted you to experience life from his perspective... or they are simply being the barbarians they generally are and intending to make you feel as unpleasant as possible.

[At least they're at the community building now? Robert begins escorting her inside.]

Do you happen to know the number of your particular building?

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[Yaaay at the building.]

Ah, just on the first floor. Room 2.

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

Ah, splendid. Not a difficult room to reach at all. [So Robert walks right up to where it is and stops in front of the door.]

Shall I prepare anything for you while you're in your room? You... will likely need to rely on the help of friends or neighbours to get around, though... that size is relatively impeding.

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

No, but thank you! I share the apartment with a friend, so he can help me with everything.

[herpderpetile.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that, then...

It was a pleasure to meet you, Ranka Lee. [Robert smiles, opening the door, and gentle deposits Ranka on the ground inside her apartment.] You were very nice company...

I hope the rest of the experiment goes well for you. Please keep care... perhaps keep your journal around for ease of speech with others?

/TEN YEARS LATER

Thank you! I'll definitely make sure to do that.
