when you wish upon a star [Open]

Who: Aigis and Minato, Open!
When: July 1 - onward
Where: Blanc
What: Aigis gets something she's always wanted... probably.
Rating: PG-13? Potentially comedic nudity, but nothing more than that.


1) (Closed)

[The markets of Blanc were crowded and bustling on this evening, barely giving a second's glance to the blonde girl and blue-haired boy who made their way through the throngs of people. Aigis had noted the potions shop's location the last time she'd come down here, so it was simple to lead Minato there, but they largely walked in silence.

She was nervous. At least she thought she was nervous. This was a sensation she couldn't recall feeling before, a way that she felt antsy, like she had to move, like she couldn't stay still. Her computational cycles seemed to be working overtime, calculating potential outcomes no matter how likely.

Was this anxiety...?]
Ah, it's just down this next street after the jewelry shop. Please stay close, Minato-san.

2) (Open)

[Aigis seems to be walking with a spring in her step. Or something in her step, at any rate. She's animated and lively, but ever so often she'll take a step and then suddenly wobble or even crumple to the floor with a little gasp. It's as if she's forgotten how her legs work, but how could that be possible?

Of course, the next time she stumbles, she stumbles into you.]
Oh, I'm sorry! I-- I lost my balance, I'm terribly sorry about that! [Except when she fell against you, she didn't knock you over like she might have, were she still made out of heavy metal and ceramic armor. In fact, she feels kind of soft.

Kind of like a human?]


3) (Open)

[They say that Monday's meals in the cafeteria aren't great. In fact, they say they're downright awful. Today's meal is some sort of curry rice... you think. It's almost gelatinous. This definitely doesn't seem like curry, or rice.

That doesn't seem to be stopping Aigis, who is actually wolfing it down, somehow?]
T-this... it tastes terrible! I really hate it! [She says surprisingly cheerfully, before resuming eating it.]

4) (Open)

[Oh, good old public baths. They're really underrated. The last time Aigis was in a place like this, she literally lay on the bottom of the hot spring, completely submerged. This time, though, she's actually wrapped in a towel from underarms to thighs, and is standing on the side of the bath, looking at the water almost anxiously.

She carefully balances herself on one leg, reaching out with her other foot (those who have seen her mechanical legs will note that the presence of feet itself is unusual) to dip her toe into the steaming water. Whatever she's expecting, though, this doesn't seem to be it.]
--ah!

[It's enough to cause her to lose her balance. Splash.]

5) (Wild Card!)

[Interact with human!Aigis however you like!]

...Squishy is a really good word for it.

And like, you wouldn't normally have had to breathe before, right? Oh, man. That means you've never had that moment where you're suddenly aware that you're consciously breathing where before you just did it without thinking of it yet, have you? That's like, the weirdest feeling.
fuhrinkaed: (Leave it to me!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-07-15 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Right?! [He nods, not wanting to confess that he'd done it to himself, too. The power of the mind is a terrifying thing.]

One of my friends back home was the type who'd just go 'You are now aware you're breathing manually' to me out of nowhere, and no matter how ready for it I was it always worked. It's so weird, isn't it?!
fuhrinkaed: (Sounds delish!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-07-15 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you just have to stop thinking about it. After a while you'll be too caught up thinking about something else and then it'll just go back to automatic. It's not like your body's going to forget to breathe just 'cause you're not thinking about it anymore, after all. [He gives her a big ol' smile, though he does notice the bit of distress he's caused. Best to make sure he didn't hurt her feelings by accident.]

You okay?
fuhrinkaed: (You okay?)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-07-16 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh geez. That's. That's never happened before.]

Uhh... Uhh... Oh! I know! What's six thousand four hundred and thirty seven divided by three thousand and fifteen, to the third decimal place?

I don't... but just work on it in your head until you get something like an answer. You'll probably notice something. Or... not notice it.
fuhrinkaed: (I wonder about that...)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-07-19 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He's noticed.]

It's okay, you can stop. We've done what we needed to anyways. Good job.
fuhrinkaed: (Leave it to me!)

You stopped thinking about your breathing, so you stopped breathing manually.

The human body is super cool, isn't it?
fuhrinkaed: (I heard magic!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-07-21 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs at that--he has to, it's kind of funny.]

Just don't worry about it and you'll go back to not breathing manually.
fuhrinkaed: (Let's all get cake)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-07-22 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Indeed. and also cake was probably had.]
