001. ♀ Dude Looks Like A Lady

[ The dungeon wasn't successful. At least, for Minato it wasn't. Apollo was thankfully able to finish it off and Minato was able to try and protect Aigis, but when he re-spawned outside, he was...different.

Like, reddish brown hair, wider hips, and more reasons to wear a shirt type of different. He's seen this happen before--or rather, he's heard about it, but to actually experience a full on bodily switch...

It's...interesting.

So now there's a new female hero wandering about Petrosian, wearing a uniform that is made for a boy with different measurements. She looks a little confused, gaze shifting from building to building. It creates a convenient opening to accidentally bump shoulders with someone passing by. ]


Oh...sorry.

[ Is that really is voice? Her voice? Gah, she can't even get her mental dialogue straight. ]

002. ♀ Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

[ He's had side effects from a dungeon before, but never more than a day or two. Returning to Caissa had been the main goal at first. Now that he's woken up on day three, Minato figures he...she will just have to find a way to enjoy it. Granted, for what experience he has with he female body really doesn't prepare him for having one. The first day was enlightening, the second day was entertaining, and now, well...

What do girls get to do that he doesn't?

So Minato goes out.

A > The Dining Hall is crowded during meal times. Why does she decide to come to this place? Well, because it's free. So there's a strange new Hero in town gorging on the buffet. Where is she pudding all that pudding?

B > Who doesn't love an obligatory bath scene? Minato enjoyed the baths before and that hasn't changed just because he's got a little more going on up top. Minato is enjoying a nice bath, or maybe napping. But, is that a fish in the water too?

C > Reinforcing gender norms by shopping. Or maybe she really just doesn't have many articles of clothing that fit his new feminine physique. Not that he's worried about longevity, but...he looks decidedly less questionable in the lingerie section now that he's a she. Help a girl out? ]


003-A. ♀ Live Free or Dye Hard

[ Just because Minato is in the middle of a very strange shift in physiology doesn't mean that there isn't a job to do. Patrolling the river doesn't sound too difficult, so she figures that it'll do for now. Got to keep that income...coming in and that public image, right? Not that she's particularly worried about what the masses think of the Heroes, but she is starting to see how it's affecting her colleagues. The rumors and conspiracies that have begun to pop up around it don't bode well either. She doesn't particularly like the idea of being used, but she's undecided about the amount of truth in those theories.

That leads her to now. Now, waiting for people and mergoats. She's never actually seen a mergoat before, so that will be interesting. Sword in hand, she walks slowly down the riverbed, occasionally looking up to scan the horizon. She's not alone, though, and it's not her carrier. She's actually following the wanderings of a baby griffon, who despite its fearsome appearance, is only a couple of feet tall for now.

Super cute.

In fact, this griffon is so excited to be out--which is one of there reasons Minato brought it along in the first place--that it tries to take off. Unfortunately, said griffon hasn't mastered flying yet, and sort of jumps high into the air, veers to the left, and slams right into someone else. ]


...

[ Oops. ]

003-B. ♂ Dye Hard With Vengeance

[ He's...he's glad to be back to normal. He's used to this body, he knows this body, and as fun as the stint had been on the short-term, the thought of being a girl permanently was...well, not devastating, but there are certain things he missed about being a guy. One of them had to do with how short the lines to the bathroom always were.

Now he's patrolling the river...again. But just as himself. How boring.

He looks totally innocuous, at least at first. After chasing down a pair of bandits, Minato finds himself with a bag of their stolen goods. Standing there, by the river. That...doesn't look incriminating, does it?

Oh, he's not alone, is he? ]


...It's not what it looks like.

[ That dungeon sure was an experience. Setsuna makes it in one piece as usual, so there's nothing to worry about from his side. Maybe he just looks a little more tired today, but that's expected considering what happened not long ago.

When the girl bumps onto him and apologizes, Setsuna doesn't flinch or react much. He's just glad it's over for now, so something like this really isn't a big deal compared to monsters jumping at him. So he looks over carefully, nodding just once to pardon her.

... Wait a minute. Who is this? He's never seen her before. One of those Hero cosplayers? Or maybe another new Hero? ]
quaria: commissioned. (nevertheless i shelter you)

[ Being addressed as senpai by a girl he doesn't know... That indeed would've been weird. But thankfully, Setsuna is an observant type. He thinks before he reacts, so he first takes a moment to process the situation. She clearly knows him, especially with that tone. Her voice alone is enough of an indication that she's familiar with him.

If she's so certain, does that mean he knows her as well? No, that's not necessarily the case. There's no hesitation or discomfort at first, but as if she realized her mistake, she just pauses before completing the word. Maybe she just mistook him for someone she knows. He stares back, wondering if she's going to explain herself.

A few seconds later, after picking enough reading on her mana signature, Setsuna realizes that he's seen it before. And it's then...

Ah. ]


... M, Minato?

[ Oh god, it really is Minato. This would've been the perfect moment for a sound effect. Imagine one right now, because it definitely rolled through the scene.

How is Setsuna supposed to react? His eyes widen in further silence, not really sure how to process something like this. Minato seems nervous too, so it's clear that he didn't intend... what ever happened. ]


Um, why are you...

[ He isn't even sure how to ask politely!! He lets the question trail on purpose, as the context is obvious anyway. ]
quaria: (plunge forward into that life)

[personal profile] quaria 2016-08-16 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Even before Minato explained, Setsuna is quick to notice this is most likely not a good story. Because with Minato's sudden slow movements, it's easy to tell. And when he says it now, Setsuna's eyes lower as well.

It does imply certain things, though Setsuna doesn't want to assume anything. But it's more than enough to know this is a sensitive topic. ]


Sorry...
quaria: (restlessness that lead to ambiguous jabs)

[personal profile] quaria 2016-08-18 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
That is true.

[ If nothing else, then the fact Minato is alive is more than enough. Setsuna shortly reaches forward, placing his hand atop of the boy's— the girl's head. ]

... If something like this is possible, there is still hope to turn you back.
quaria: (you shake your head at them)

[personal profile] quaria 2016-08-27 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A small nod. ]

The possibility of it being temporary has the same chance of it being permanent. Do not give up.

[ Poor Minato... ]

I believe it will be fine. Like I said, there is an equal chance for both. And you might be able to find a cure itself as well.
quaria: my scans. (we can believe in each other)

[personal profile] quaria 2016-09-28 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No hesitation: ]

... You are cute no matter what.
