when you wish upon a star [Open]

[seventhgen]

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!]

Comments

[seventhgen]

A... mermaid? A creature with the lower body of a fish, and the upper body of a human? No, why would I have thought that? [It's Aigis' turn to look puzzled.]

[drawmecute]

Well, you didn't know not to breathe water.

Breathing water is bad.

[seventhgen]

I am aware that breathing water is harmful to the human body. It's more that I wasn't... familiar with that initial reflex when submerged?

[drawmecute]

*Blink.* *Blink blink.* Why did you say that like you're not human? That's weird. Cause you clearly are.

[seventhgen]

I... well yes, currently I am very clearly human.

But that is not my usual state.

[drawmecute]

What are you usually?

*Lola don't look her over like that, it's weird cause you're both naked and don't even know each other.*

And how do you end up human when you're not?

[seventhgen]

[Aigis doesn't really have much of a sense of shame, so it doesn't bother her.] I'm usually a machine. I consumed a magical potion of transformation.

[drawmecute]

How did you drink a potion if you're a machine?

*Lola's still not sure she believes, and is still trying to see how this perfectly normal looking girl isn't human. Okay, so the girl has the same level of modesty as Lola does, but that's hardly proof.*

[seventhgen]

I don't know if I would say I 'drank' it. I put it into my mouth, and that seemed to be enough? [She pauses.] Something similar happened to me with a magical gas, though I do not breathe, either.

[drawmecute]

Huh. Magic sure is cool.

*And then because Lola is equal parts impulsive, tactless, and shameless.*

Is your robot butt cuter than your human butt?

[seventhgen]

--what? [Well that was a little unexpected. Aigis just looks surprised, and then looks over her shoulder, down at her back... she can't see her butt. Damn.] I don't really know how to answer that!

I'm not certain I'm qualified to judge anything by human beauty standards. In my original form, I have an approximation of a human's hindquarters, but it's made out of ceramic body armor.

[drawmecute]

Cute is absolute, it isn't just a human standard. It applies to anything and everything.

*Lola that is not how standards work. Still, she's considering how a ceramic ass would sit. Lola stop taking butts so seriously.*

It'd be shapely... but it wouldn't have a natural wiggle to it, so I guess it wouldn't be as cute...

[seventhgen]

[Blink.] This is a very odd conversation. Do you usually focus so much on the appearance of a... butt?

[drawmecute]

Well, you don't have much going on in the way of tits, like me. I don't really care how robots work. So it's how that looks, or your hair.

Oh! Do you replace it like wigs for styles, is it really easy to dye it a new color? What do you do if you get a bad haircut?

[seventhgen]

I... [Aigis does not know how to react to this conversation. She looks down at her front.] 'Tits'. A slang word for a human female's breasts. Are mine... really inadequate...? [She looks back up at this strange girl.] Um, right now it's just normal hair, but in my usual form I have no need to get a haircut at all, because it doesn't grow.

[drawmecute]

I mean, you'll never feed babies on them. But guys are easier to distract if they're bigger. You know? They seem to really like that, but they'll like any boobs they can access.

*Sure, the robot thinks she's a strange girl.*

But... how do you change it when you want something new?

[seventhgen]

Is that true? Is that what human males are looking for? [Would Minato like her more if she had larger breasts???

Wow, she's actually starting to feel very self-conscious about her body, thanks.] I don't understand. Why would I want something new? Should I be unhappy with my body how it is?

[drawmecute]

*Lola circles again, considering. She wants to help, it is easier when she can see all of her.*

No, your body is fine. Big boobs wouldn't really do you any favors anyway. What you need is to make sure guys are looking at the best parts of you. I suggest short skirts, keep them looking at your legs.

*Lola's really looking like she's thinking, because this is what she's good at. She likes this, she likes knowing how to do all this and make it work. Because how else do you get boys to buy you pizza.*

Boys like pretty girls, the straight ones anyway. Some like to talk, some like to have sex, but it's always easier for them if you're pretty or cute. Wait...

Do you have a human male in mind!?

*Gossip sense tingling, must investigate.*

[seventhgen]

Ah, normally my legs are... carbon fiber and ceramic armor, so I wear stockings underneath my skirt if I'm trying to blend in. [This is all a little much to process at once.] How do I tell if the boy in question wants to talk or wants to, um, have sex?

[The sudden question is unexpected, though she really should have seen it coming.] D-do I have... you mean a specific one? [Of course.] W-well, that's... I have someone who's very important to me, so... [Yes.]

[drawmecute]

Why would you try to blend in? You want to make sure people are seeing you, how else will boys notice you?

*Lola didn't dye her hair because she was shy or modest, she did it because it suited her more than her drab brown hair.*

Anyway, if you do it right, boys that like you buy you things, make excuses to be around you. They look at you like they forgot anything else exists, even if its only for a moment. And when they look at you your heart ha- right, robot.

Have you felt your heart start beating really hard while that someone very important to you was looking at you?

[seventhgen]

Most people don't know that I'm a machine, so I try to pass as a human when I go to school. They might be scared if they knew what I really was. [She looks down for a moment, but something that Lola says next catches her attention. Because yes, she does feel like that sometimes.] Y-yes, I feel like that sometimes. Um, only when it's someone in particular, though.

[drawmecute]

But... you're too cute to be scary.

*Lola that is not how this works.*

Then it means you like him, you should totally see if he likes you back! I can try to help?

[seventhgen]

Most people don't know that a humanoid like me could exist. That might be frightening on its own, even if I don't wish them any harm. [She sounds saddened by this!] But I know that this person... he does like me. We are close friends. I permitted him to touch my heart.

[drawmecute]

Well, yeah, I would find that really weird. Like unbelievable weird. But you're really adorable so I don't see how people could be scared.

Wait, when you say that, you mean like you let him get close to you, or that he felt you up? I'm okay with the TMI, I just want to be sure.

[seventhgen]

They might not think I'm, um, adorable. I mean, you're seeing me when I'm a human. I don't have any of my weapons systems. That could be... intimidating.

[She glances up at Lola.] I did let him get close to me, but I am speaking literally. He touched my core system, the Papillion Heart. The thing that makes me... 'me.'
