「oo1」 ❥ OPEN.

[Who knows how you've found her - maybe you were just walking by, or you came to investigate what was definitely laughter - but there's a girl in the living area who you won't recognise from the sarcophagi; blonde, pretty, and otherwise unremarkable. She looks fairly happy and relieved for someone who is locked in a castle.

And as you're glancing over her, she's not a blonde any more. Her hair turns brown. She laughs again, looking at her hands, turning them over - there's a cascade of blue scales over her body and suddenly she has dark skin from the elbows down. More scales and she's completely blue, with shocking red hair - a more familiar face to some people. And then she's back to the lovely blonde girl.

Raven has her shifting back, everyone!

She also didn't realise anyone was watching her. Oops.]

[she snaps back into her blonde disguise.

she shouldn't have expected anything else, if she's honest with herself. there's a difference between seeing her blue from the start and seeing a pretty girl who's actually "monstrous" or something. there are a few people who are already okay with it, and that's really more than she could have asked for - and if she were stuck with the blue like she was before, she would just wait for him to adjust and try to keep calm about it, but... now that she has something to hide behind, it's a knee-jerk reaction to fall back on it as soon as she gets a bad reaction.]

... Don't worry about it. Nobody really thinks about it much.

[Great. Now he really did feel like he'd offended her. What was he supposed to say? Had to say something.]

I'm not gonna worry about it. But it's not gonna make me think any different. Your power is pretty amazing, I admit. But blue or not, you're still a person, right?

[We'll let her answer that one.]

[permutant]

... Yeah. [she looks surprised, but she definitely sounds... grateful. relieved.] A lot of people... tend to forget that. Mutants aren't exactly getting parades where I come from.

[stillshinigami]

I can imagine that. It's not that I don't have faith in people, but we've done some pretty stupid shit.

Human rights, wars, terrorism...war...

Did I mention war? [He looks down, his eyes distant for a moment as he considers what else to say.]

And hey. Blue's a pretty cool color.
