Second Solo - Video/Action;
[ video ]
[ At the start of the video all a person can see is the lower half of a girl's room, expensively decorated in what must be some kind of mansion. Nothing moves on screen, even as Maki's voice speaks up. ]
D-Does anyone know anything about Shifters? I-It's not like I need help or anything, I-I'm just trying to learn more about them.
[ Even though she says that, her tone of voice, the awkward stammers, it's clear that she's not being 100% truthful. ]
What if someone ended up getting stuck completely transformed...and didn't know how to turn back? N-No, wait! What I mean is... not like that but...
[ If the person in question isn't completely clear by now, it's made even worse when a woman's voice is heard off camera saying, "Maki, are you coming down for dinner?". ]
M-Mama! [ Suddenly scrambling to turn off her Warp Band, a purple, feline looking Pokemon comes into frame for just a moment, and then the video turns off. ]
[ action ]
[ If you happen to see a slightly off color Purrloin wandering the streets, or perhaps just sitting and listening to someone playing a violin somewhere in the city, it might just be Maki. This is the first time she's ever fully transformed, and is still afraid of people, though she will try not to run away from anyone who approaches her. She's also not sure how to turn back, worried that the more she stays like this, the more permanent it might become. ]

voice
[A pause.]
That's, uh, the advice I'd give them. That's - what I think would help. Uh...
[Mukuro won't tell if you don't tell, Maki..]
voice
[ It sounds like decent advice really, and she hasn't had a chance to stop freaking out since she woke up in this Purrloin body. However, making yourself calm down is a lot more difficult when you're in a strange body, and every little noise is caught in your ear. ]
I can try that..
[ Maki forgets for a second that she wasn't asking for help for herself at first. ]
no subject
[There has to be a better way to put it, or...]
And, if you're... too distracted by everything, maybe... find somewhere secluded?
no subject
You're not...a shifter are you?
[ Maki would love to talk to someone who's in the same position as her, but she's so afraid to openly admit what she is still. ]
no subject
[It's something she likes to keep quiet. But...]
Yeah, I am.
no subject
O-Oh. [ That news is actually good news for Maki though. ] So what you said..you did that and you can change back?
no subject
[How did she handle it the first time? That first time was a bit of a blurr...]
You have to remember what's important, and not let yourself get overwhelmed.
no subject
[ All that she's learned does seem helpful, in it's own way. ]
I wish there was some kind of spell you could just cast to switch back..
no subject
[It gets easier, after all.]
It might be easier if you're, um... comfortable in the other body? Try it out a little.
no subject
[ Maki just wants to believe in magic sometimes. ]
I never really thought about that... But what do Pokemon even do?
no subject
[What... do Pokemon even do. What does SHE do when she shifts?
...What does she do that she can suggest to Maki in good faith?]
You could... explore the city. You can get to places you couldn't before now.
no subject
I..I guess I've never looked around the city before. But I'm not...T-That's not what I usually do.
no subject
Like under a fence on a dead end, or something.
no subject
Infiltrate? [ She hears that. ] That sounds kind of dangerous, but at this point I'll try anything to fix this.
no subject
Oh! I just - that's not what I meant. More like - ah, um - you can jump better now! Probably. You could climb up things you couldn't before. You have a different set of physical capabilities you could utilize... for exploring, or, um, whatever you wanted.
no subject
I can try that. Maybe if I tire myself out I'll be able to turn back to normal...
Thank you Mukuro.
