DAY 006

[inflori]

( Hey. )

[ Petre is unusually quiet when he reaches out to the station as a whole. All the fellow hosts, awake or currently resting, get a pressing nudge that won't relent until he has their attention. ]

( Is anybody's powers changing, sorta? Like. In a way that you don't even know they are. )

[ There's reluctance to show any true uncertainty in his voice. Misato told him that wanting everyone to think you were a threat was only a sign of your weakness... or something like that. All he knows is that this feels like showing vulnerability. He doesn't like it, but he's more curious than proud right now. ]

( ... I keep changing whenever I look in the mirror. )

Comments

[inflori]

( What? )

[100mitsubishis]

( On your face. )

[inflori]

( What the fuck is wrong with my face? )

[100mitsubishis]

( Where do I start? )

[How can someone be this easy to bait?]

[inflori]

( You can start by shutting the fuck up.

Or you could say something that's actually useful. Shit. )

[ His life! Is so difficult! ]

[100mitsubishis]

( Whoa. You always take it so seriously, okay, chill. So, what's going on? You're shapeshifting? )

[inflori]

[ And after the mental equivalent of frustrated keysmashing: ]

( Yeah. Nate was helping me get better at it before they stuck him in a coma. )

[100mitsubishis]

[Coma. He doesn't like that. A flash of something wicked and upset and then it's gone. Kavinsky's just Kavinsky.]

( Just your face? )

[inflori]

( I can turn into other people when I concentrate.

But now I change when I'm not thinking about it too. Like my hair and shit. )

[100mitsubishis]

( Have you checked on your dick? )

[inflori]

( What the fuck, why are you asking me about my dick? )

[100mitsubishis]

( If I was changing, that's the first thing I'd be checking out. )

[inflori]

( That's fucking gay, dude. )

[100mitsubishis]

( It's not gay if it's your own dick. )

[inflori]

( You were asking me about my dick. )

[100mitsubishis]

( I was asking about your magic shapeshifting dick. )

[sizeofyourbaggage]

( I'm so glad you guys are having a great conversation about your dicks where we all can hear you.

In our heads. )

[100mitsubishis]

( You saying you wouldn't check? Man, I don't believe you, either. )

[sizeofyourbaggage]

( Oh hell no, of course I'd check. That's a given.

Just wouldn't talk about it in a group text. )

[wille]

( Boys, put those things away. They need at least 10 years to be full-grown. )

[100mitsubishis]

( Hey, honey. Help me out here-- you'd check, right? )

[wille]

( Yes? No!! Don't drag me into this, he's a kid. )

[inflori]

( Yeah, sorry your dick is such a piece of shit that you've gotta wish you had a magical one too. )

[100mitsubishis]

( You know we're mind-linked, right? I can show you how good it is right now. )

[inflori]

( It's the only one you've got, of course you think it's good. )
