Who: Gilbert Nightray and You!
When: 7/20-7/27
Where: Around Caissa
What: Gilbert's back after dying the dungeon and some changes ensue...
Rating: PG-13?? or worse
( Coming home )
[The moment he awakened outside the dungeon looking like this, the last thing Gilbert wanted to do was to wait for his teammates to see him. Well, to be fair, he didn't want anyone to see him before he'd find out how to turn back.
There's still hope that no one would recognize him, at least at first. Not with these long, black hair and different...proportions.
Actually, it doesn't change once he reaches Caissa, but it's way more difficult to remain unseen in the Hall of Glory than at any point of his journey. The long cloak that's draped over his body helps a little, especially the hood that covers his face once he takes a few steps inside, quite alerted about his surroundings. Maybe a bit too alerted, though...stumbling on a staircase and falling backward definitely wasn't a part of his plan, but there he is, sitting on the floor with his features revealed as he rubs his back.]
It hurt...ah?! Don't look at me!
( Library )
[After giving it a thought, Gil realizes that there's simply no way that there's no potion that would make him turn back. There are so many of them, after all...if there's really none, then his name isn't Nightray.
That's why, he's sitting in the library now, surrounded by various books on alchemy and charms. Either a potion or maybe even a spell should help, right? Right?! Looking through so many pages seems tedious, but his patience is going to be rewarded as soon as he reads the first letters on top of the page.
"Potion of Transmogrification, also known as the sex change potion..."
This looks quite promising, and even though it's not explained thoroughly on this page, the author redirects him to another one, page 516 to be exact.
Too bad that there's no page 516. Someone must've torn it sometime ago, much to Gilbert's dismay.]
Stop fucking messing with me!?
[Tightening his grip on the hardcover, he's ready to throw it through the window.]
( Baths )
[The middle of the night is the only appropriate time for a bath in this state, it seems. He has absolutely no idea how many Heroes have been residing here, but who would come to have a bath at a time like this? Possibly no one.
Oh, how wrong he was.
Gilbert's almost done with washing himself and is about to go out when he hears a noise coming out from the changing rooms. Maybe it's just a cat, not a person?Well, it wouldn't make things any better but...]
Who's there?!
[Did somebody follow him here?! It can't be...]
( Closed to Jiroutachi )
[Hoping that no one's inside their room, Gilbert opens the door slightly and takes a peek inside. Since it seemed to be quiet just a while ago, he takes a step inside and hurriedly closes the door. His coat is all he needs, really...this white hero uniform is the absolute worst. Going through his chest, he doesn't hear someone approaching the doors outside.
Well, as soon as his coat is put on, his business here is done, so he hurries back to press the handle and get out of here. Alas, when he's about to leave, the door slams open and Gilbert's expression goes blank.]
...oh, I must have gotten the room number wrong.
[This isn't going to work, Gilbert...]
( Closed to Shinoa )
Shopping?
[At that, Gilbert can't help raising his eyebrow. Alright, it's been a while since the transformation, but he doesn't believe that buying new clothes will be necessary.]
I think I'll pass. Besides, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me—
[It hasn't been a minute and he's already making excuses.]
Besides, I'm pretty sure that this is only temporary...I'll be fine with my old clothes.
[Expect they're a bit tight here and there...not to mention that he may have trouble breathing at times, but he's going to withstand this, yes.]

J-Just don't come any closer, Makoto...
[For your own good...will he realize what he has just done, though.
Actually, it dawns on him just a while later. Calling Makoto by her name, how stupid of him.]
no subject
See, the thing is-- Makoto isn't the type to go out and actively seek out friends. Or Friends, if you'd rather consider it something special, really. The point is that only a few people would know her name - and now she's actually going to attempt to get a good look at her bath time partner, brows furrowed and all. ]
Do...?
[ Look this way for a sec, Gil. ]
no subject
You don't!
[That blatant lie may not be enough to save him, but he can try...]
no subject
It's not a serious enough situation that Makoto would have to manhandle Gil or anything serious like that, but she definitely makes a point to get a Good Look at him and-- ]

[ The recoil is obvious both physically and verbally. jfc gilbert ]
no subject
[It's high time to bluff his way out of here. It might be a bit difficult though, especially when he's covering his eyes with his hand.]
I don't know any Nightrays...
[It might or might not have been one of the most unconvincing of his lies.]
no subject
Still, the idea makes her recoil but she's not letting up just yet. ]
Then why are you hiding?
[ Maybe it's because she's practically in front of him in this accusatory manner? Makoto. ]
no subject
...
...
[He's lost, hasn't he.]
I might know...just one Nightray. But he didn't mean to peep on anybody, I swear...
[Even though it's prone to happen in mixed baths from time to time, it's still something he can't get used to.]
no subject
Well, if she hadn't felt awkward then, she's certainly feeling 999% more self-aware now. You know, despite having gotten used to co-ed bathing for the past few months. ]
Well, let...let's set that aside for now.
[ She says that but she's also trying to discreetly angle her body away. All she has on hand is a tiny handtowel but that's hardly going to do much. ]
So you are Nightray...?
no subject
It's difficult to talk like this, but it's indescribably better than maintaining eye contact in this situation.]
Y-Yes...don't tell anybody, I beg you.
[He peeks at her for a few seconds tops and turns his head away again.]
I was like this when I woke up outside the dungeon...
