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.
no subject
She nods in agreement. ]
That won't be a problem.
[ Just don't make her run. Not that she can't, but she's lazy. ]
no subject
So... I don't suppose you've heard about the war, have you?
no subject
Ah, the war... ]
Yeah. [ Meliora does think she's new, huh? She has been curious on how it's affecting her colleagues. ] What do you think about it?
no subject
Not really sure, yet. Never had wars back home--everything was too small scale and there were people who'd make sure it didn't happen. But... I know death, and we don't exactly get along. This smells like a lot of death.
So, s'why I was gonna' ask you what you thought.
no subject
Still, Minato takes a moment to consider. What does she think about it? ]
...People are always looking for a reason to fight. [ Is that a good way to put it? ] But it's easier to do when you're not the one that has to do the fighting.
no subject
[Meliora laughs, a cynical tint to it.]
That's the truest thing I think I've heard all day. The best fight's the one that you can get someone else to do for you, right?
Well... me, I'm not a fan of fighting anyways. Tends to up your odds of getting yourself killed. So it figures that I'd land in this kind of sitch, right?
no subject
A fair criticism, though. ]
Death isn't permanent here.
no subject
Well, hell, that just makes everything all better, doesn't it? Lemme just run right out there and get myself killed for the benefit of people who aren't even paying me past room and board.
--Except not, because that's dumb. I dunno about you, but I'm so not testing that.
no subject
Oh, wait. She wants food first. Definitely riding this out. ]
Would you rather not come back?
no subject
I'd rather I didn't die at all. I want to live, more'n anything else. You can get that, right?
no subject
I think most people would agree with you. [ A pause. ] And those that don't don't really understand death.
no subject
[Meliora gives a tiny nod.]
Can't say you're wrong there... not a lot of people who don't care about dyin'. Though... well, it's not like I can say I understand death either.
Honestly? It just scares the piss outta' me.
no subject
It scares most people. They just don't want to admit it.
no subject
Ultra dumb. If you're scared of something, admit to it. At least to yourself. If you can't even see that much, you'll wind up stuck over your head when you're hit by an unknown fear.
A great martial teacher back home always shortanded it to 'know thyself.' I read his book once. [The martial leader was a god, it was a holy text, and she's not mentioning any of that because this way implies that it was slightly more niche and therefore more impressive.]
no subject
[ Not that she's judging, really. ]
Was it good?
no subject
Fear, though... mm, I agree. Knowing fear means you know how to move past the fear-and you know what the fear may make you do. Lot fewer risks to just admit it. Even if you don't always... admit to admitting it. If you catch my meaning?
no subject
It's unpleasant, but I think people may take more risks when the ultimate consequence isn't permanent.
no subject
Lady's plumage you will! It ain't practice that makes perfect, it's perfection that makes perfect. If you're not doing every little thing right every single time, you're gonna' cock it up. And if you're cocking it up all the time in practice when it isn't permanent, you're gonna cock it up when it actually godsdamn matters, because pressure? That's a bitch those sorts never expect to be nearly as big a deal as it always is.
That's just not how I roll. Dying's not permanent? Great! Still never doing it, thanks. Same for big risks, like most forms of gambling for cash and anything involving a racy white dress, a couple too many bottles of wine, a ring, and a hotel room with a sunrise view.
no subject
Huh.
> You listen to Meliora's impassioned
rantspeech and are somewhat charmed.> You feel a faint bond forming between you two...
Oh, here we go.
She's listening, she really is! She's just...amazed! Clearly that must be why she's staring blankly ahead as Meliora finishes. ]
[ Hold on, the animated sequence has to finish before she can really come back to. It's probably a moment or two longer than necessary. ]
..Yeah. That sounds nice.
[ Dying? The hotel room sunrise? Who knows! ]
no subject
Life without risk is basically impossible. But minimizing it? Hard, but definitely nice. [And she raises her drink to that.]
[...Oh, that's the bill, isn't it. Meliora plops down the colle without looking twice.]
no subject
You think you can do that here?
