genessia | Operation 31

[The message comes onto the network shortly after sunrise. You know who's not panicking on the network and is, in fact, looking like he's having the time of his life? This guy. He's got a demonic appearance again, and decked out in the black-purple leather outfit that he had custom tailored for this very scenario. You know, the one he got three years ago. And he's made sure he's got an appropriate song playing in the background while he's sitting with legs crossed mid-air in the Skyrise office. ... at least he's not playing Monster Mash?]

Y'know, the best way to tell if someone's been here less than a year is to listen to their messages in October.

[He holds his arms open to begin his announcement! Or PSA. Or whatever.]

So unless Genessia's done somethin' new and exciting this time around, you folks with new and exciting features and appendages don't have anythin' to worry about. This is the third year in a row this has happened. Which, if the spirits out there can hear me? I really appreciate you guys givin' me more mileage out of this outfit. I appreciate the new horns compared to the last two years too.

[He folds his arms. He likes gesturing, folks.]

Last year, only Nova City got this "curse," if ya wanna call it that. I took a gander around the other cities earlier- and it don't look like we got the same effect as last year. So you all just gotta sit back, relax and enjoy your time as a monster. If it's anythin' like the last few years, it'll be a week or two. So calm your tits. Or don't. I'm just your local Nova Guardian here to give a PSA.

.... oh, and if you got any new dietary needs, Everglade's probably your best stop. And also "Special" drinks will be discounted at Holy Diver if ya feel so inclined. No, these new forms don't count towards Lydia's costume special, so don't try.

[He ponders a moment as he taps his cheek.]

Also~ My WayPoints project is just about done, thanks to the lovelies at Aster Tech. I've just got a couple finishing touches, and then we can all get around faster- particularly in case of new emergencies. I may be eccentric, but I'm no liar.

[Not always, anyway.]

Happy spooking, dears~

[He blows a kiss to the camera and the video cuts.]

I thought the second time was a strange occurrence, but at this rate I think I'm going to have to start putting a warning for the whole month of October in the welcome pamphlets.

[ Like seriously, what is wrong with this place!!

That said, Weiss's video is way too close to her face, sparkly because of the insect-like wings on her back, and she's very clearly avoiding showing her outfit off. Look. When you suddenly have to have a change of clothing due to size and that clothing has to be backless to make up for the wings, it's a very limited selection!! All the frilly things she would normally wear are mostly completely up to the neck, so she's stuck with the first backless doll outfit she could find. ]

I think ya might have to. I dunno what Halloween was like when I first got here, but these three years? In a row? Yeah, a warning will probably be a good idea. Might save us some yearly network panic.

[He knew something was coming, and he'd joked to himself about transformed into an incubus or some kind of demon again. And go figure, Genessia didn't disappoint him.

He tilts his head slightly then, pushing up his glasses.]

Ah, did you get the fairy treatment too? Should I, uh, lend you a couple doll outfits?

[He pauses.]

Yeah no matter how I asked that, it sounds jerkish, but that's what I had to do for my roommate.

The year before that, we just got superpowers from whatever costume we wore. I got to firebend.

[ It was pretty cool. She definitely wasn't against that one in most circumstances. ]

Do you have a lot of backless doll outfits? I went to the toy store wearing a dress I made out of a thick ribbon earlier and let me tell you they don't have a great selection that has room for wings. And these things are far more sensitive than the wings I got last year.

[ She stayed in last year. And made Sun stay in with her. For very good succubus-related reasons. ]

What, really? Aww man, I missed that one twice? I mean, didn't Fayren get that last year?

[Why on earth was this guy disappointed that he missed that? God only knows what he would have dressed as.]

I've got a few, but I put some little wing holes in a few for Faye. I can do the same for you too.

[He'll just buy new ones and commission others that might not be available anymore. He's kinda happy that his dumb nerd hobbies are actually proving helpful in some way.]

Last year we got a mass repeat of everything.

[ What are you thinking Gale?? She doesn't think she wants to know. ]

I'd rather not have something I'm going to fight unraveling all day unless you're going to properly sew them. There are clearly not enough creature feature dolls around Nova City.

[ Weiss can't sew but she's also not sure Gale's.. fashion sense is any better than what she's already wearing. ]

.... even the candy thing?

[Because the candy thing in Everglade was weird. Attleton sucked though. But Attleton always sucks.]

I've made repairs and hems before, so that wouldn't be too hard. I'd be lost if I couldn't do that.

[Especially with the scuffles he gets in sometimes. C'mon, Weiss, you can trust him! Not all of his doll outfits are questionable!

But he does slap his fist in his hand in a 'Eureka!' moment.]

Shit, I never thought of hittin' up Everglade for this kinda thing!

[Some collector he is. Sounds like he's going shopping later.]

This is an unpleasant inconvenience.

[Says your now very human deputy.]

I can imagine, but at least it's just that- an inconvenience. It ain't too terrible and I'll take this over any kinda weird ass emergency.

[Though he can't imagine how Grievous feels right now. At least Gale saw his message earlier, so he at least know what Grievous currently looks like.]

I doubt it'll last for long. I can give ya the time off if you want.

[Since he knows human bodies are far pickier than cyborgs.]

No, I must continue with my work.

[Although he's going to find he tires much easier. As a cyborg, he barely needs any rest nor food so usually he's almost constantly patrolling or running his Centre.]

Fair enough, but I doubt I need to tell ya not to overwork yourself. Human bodies are dumb.

[Even Gale had to worry about rest and food once in a while, but with Grievous the cyborg he was, he was a little concerned that he'd overestimate his current abilities.]

Just don't force me to make ya sit out if you overdo it, k? K.

It feels very weak.

[Definitely weaker in comparison to his robotic body, but also compared to his previous alien body. The Kaleesh were a very tough species.]

But I shall do what I must.

Thanks for the heads' up. I'll get in contact with the bloodbanks... What kind of dietary needs were there last time? I don't want people rushing and causing a panic...

[ He's taking this change calmly.]

Costumes will be rather difficult in my new size.

[ He grew from 4'11" to 10', just about doubling his size.]

As is getting through doors.

At least I can reach high shelves now.

[Oh, she's just chilling in what is probably Wonderland, given Diva is behind her just staring off into space.

She is grinning though.]

Even as a demon you look absolutely lovely, that's almost unfair. Luckily I seem to have missed out on this whole... monster... thing. Oh well~

Ah, by the way, I hope you got the little package I sent over to your office, darling~

[Allen is quietly sobbing to himself, mostly because 1) He doesn't have a heartbeat and 2) He has the urge for a certain type of food he doesn't actually want to eat. So the boy is being stubborn about it.]

I don't think telling me to calm down helps. I kind of liked having a heartbeat and the taste for food.

[he already misses it, though he doesn't yet know that at least he won't bleed now, so he could be a tiny bit more reckless with fighting if he needed to.]

So I just gotta wait this out. I think I can do that. Though... Doors are now a fun problem I have to solve.

[Considering she is eleven to twelve feet tall. Doors aren't that tall.]

At the very least, it offers a break from the monotony of normal ass every day life in Attleton.
