a girl with shoes that cut
+ eyes that burn like cigarettes EVEN SOCIAL PARIAHS LIKE YUKI had a circle of friends. Not a big circle, mind you—the teen could count the number of friends they had on one hand—but still, they weren’t entirely alone. Natsu was one friend. A girl named Hana. She was fat and kind-of awkward, fancied herself to be a writer—unpopular with boys and girls alike because of her bluntness. Yuki appreciated it though—he’d once said something snide about her, and Hana’s retort was debilitating. They’d been friends ever since. Today, Yuki was at Hana’s house, sitting cross-legged on her bed as she cleaned-out her closet by order of her mother. A novel was spread between Yuki’s thumb and hand, sitting next to a giveaway pile that was even bigger than them. Hana had wanted to go shopping with Yuki, but her mother had insisted that she clean-out her clothes before surrendering shopping money. So, here they were. A few times, Yuki felt the breeze in the clothes that fluttered past, and then one smacked Yuki in the face, eclipsing their vision. “Sorry Tachibana!” Hana guffawed, remaining next to her closet. Wordlessly, Yuki pulled the clothes from their head, surveying it with a squint. A mini-skirt—pink, pleated, and plaid—with the tags still on it. “This is cute,” Yuki intoned.
“Mom got it for me,” Hana remarked disdainfully, “Two sizes too small, to encourage me to lose weight.”
“Hm.”
“Total dick move.”
“Mhm.”Hana returned to the closet, grabbing a few more articles of clothes. “And it’s all fuckin’ pink and cutesy. All preppy. Thought that getting the cutesy pastel-goth shit still counts as “goth”. Total prep shit.” When she turned, Yuki was still holding the skirt. Hana paused, scrutinizing the bookworm, “…wanna try it on?”She received a bland look. “No.”
“I dare you to try it on.”A stare-down ensued. A contest of will. Yuki huffed, and closed their book. … That was a few hours ago. Yuki walked like a man with a secret, a vice grip on the strap of their backpack which seemed ready to burst at the seams. Usually they ambled along aimlessly, like it didn’t really matter one way or another if they got to where they were going or not. But their mind was racing—and apparently their legs and their brain were conspiring to get them home quicker. Yuki checked their phone—at this rate they’d be home early. Why had they ever agreed to Hana’s dare? Why did they let her doll them up and toss more and more of these perfectly-sized outfits at them? And why had Yuki, in their infinite stupidity, put the clothes in their backpack? Something had addled their brain. Maybe how cute they’d looked in front of the mirrored doors of Hana’s closet, turning this way and that. Almost like a girl. After that, Yuki went stupid. Yuki plopped down beside a fountain, winded from speed-walking, shrugging their backpack off of their shoulders. They hugged their backpack to their chest before undoing the top flap. Mounds of girly clothes stuffed in haphazardly alongside books and notepads alike. “I am so dead.” | quirk: e-rank disguise, psychometry, stamina; f-rank regeneration, durability ooc notes: |

♥ better than a pro hero! ♥ Serpent of the TOXIC Sea Taking a nap in the cool waters of the fountain, it was nice since there was a perfect little ledge for her to curl up against and sleep in! Kept her body and thermos from floating away too so WOOOOOOOO legit prime real estate over here if you asked her! Right now, she was happily dreaming away about being at her original home...with mom and dad, but this time, there was another figure. Tall and a little green, but the guy's face was obscured. Which...kind of freaked her out...there was more to it than just that scaring her though, but she didn't really know what... But did it stop her from being happy in this dream? Nah, because for once, her family was together again and no one was getting sick from her...they even had a group hug. THUD...!Then...muffled mumbled as the happy family portrait clouded up and her eyes fluttered open. Thaaaaaankfully, she had her thermos strapped upon her body, blurbbling out a little yawn while stretching her arms. Wiggling her body out from beneath her little sleepy spot and poking her head up above the water, she looked left! Then she looked right! Left again! Then right! Oh wait, she was facing the wrong way...whoooops! A lil shimmy shimmy shift and she saw the top of a person's head! Grabbing onto the ledge, she pulled herself up, still remaining in the fountain and wearing a bunch of trash bags. Ruffle ruffle! Tugging her hood into place, she sounded more like a shop keeper rather than a potential hobo fish camping out in the water as she happily chipped out, "Hi hiiiii~! I'm the serpent of this fountain and you look lovely today! How can I help you, seeker of cocoa with woes?" It was the most failed attempt at trying to sound regal in the history of ever! Bringing her hands up to her face and rubbing her own little cheeks in a circular motion, a small smile wiggled across her lips while she softly squeaked, "I think I like that intro, yeah~! But but but how can I help you today~? " Tilting her head she pat her fingers rhythmically upon her face and plopped her elbows on the edge. |

a girl with shoes that cut
+ eyes that burn like cigarettes THE CHILD WITH THE TWO-TONE HAIR was contemplating where they could hide the clothes without their father finding them, rubbing the fabric between thumb and forefinger. His parents—but especially his dad—had such a fixation on upholding a certain image of themselves. They were the Tachibana’s, successful and picture-perfect, throwing parties just to show people how successful and picture-perfect they were. A crossdressing son would be a devastating blow to their image.
A rustling sound and a bright voice interrupted the teen’s reverie, causing Yuki to leap up in alarm. They scrabbled to jam the clothes deeper into the bag, fumbling with the flap. The last thing he needed was for a stranger to think that he was some sort of deviant for having numerous outfits worth of girls’ clothes.
With a profoundly cowed expression, the youth listened as the rather piscine youth cheerfully greeted them. The… serpent of the fountain? Cocoa with woes?
Yuki squinted in confusion, an uncertain frown twisting at his mouth. The first thing the youth noticed was that their skin was blue—and, secondly, that it seemed slimy. The next thing that they noticed was that she seemed to be wearing garbage bags. Like, actual line-your-garbage-can, garbage bags.
This, combined with the unusual greeting, and the fact that they were trying to hide the girls’ clothes they’d just been looking at, left the teen rather bashful and speechless.
“How… do you make a sad cocoa?” the youth asked, misunderstanding the girl’s phrasing. That wasn’t even her main point, at any rate—she wanted to know how she could help Yuki—but that’s what Yuki fixated on. Realizing his faux pas, the shifter-child averted his gaze, focusing his attention forward rather than to the side.
“I… uh… thank you,” they stammered, “But I don’t need any help. Really.”
They managed to secure the lid of their backpack, snapping it shut. There was still a bit of frill from one of the skirts poking-out from underneath the flap, but they were too flustered to notice.
“…”
They glanced back at the fish-girl, filled with more questions to ask than answers to give, “This is your fountain? Is it… okay for me to sit by it?”
Yuki wrapped their arms around their backpack, mentally preparing himself to rise and relocate.

♥ better than a pro hero! ♥ Serpent of the TOXIC Sea WOW! She caught a glimpse of some really cute stuff in this person's bag! It was pink, pretty and adorable as could be from what those navy blue orbs centered with magenta saw a glint of! OH! But the brain train was immediately derailed as a gasp of surprise wiggled out of her at the mere thought of sad cocoa! "Sad cocoa is fake news! My cocoa is happy and warms hearts, melts away the sad feelings!" Nodding sagely she pat the thermos and set it at her side with a bright smile while resting her gaze upon the fellow teen. Bobbling in place within the water, she popped her head in a confused tilt, she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but something about the way this fellow youth was acting didn't sit right with her. Plus, why would she shoo someone away from the fountain she proclaimed as her very own in the name of bringing forth and era of happiness and joy?! Silly person! "Huh? Why would I make you go away, that's ridiculous! You can stay as long as you want~! Unless the mean government mutts try to shoo us away, but they usually stop when I call them awful quirkists!" Bringing her hands up to her cheeks, the girl's curious gaze shifted to the frill peeking out to say hello! "Hey hey~! Are you worried about having cute clothes because you're too cute for them or they're too cute for you?" With a cat like grin wiggling across her lips, she leaned a bit more out of the fountain, grasping upon the edge to try and get a better look! People sometimes thought they were too cute for their own clothing or the clothes were too cute for them, people were funny like that, yes they were! |

a girl with shoes that cut
+ eyes that burn like cigarettes THE BASHFUL SHAPESHIFTER HUGGED THEIR BACKPACK to their chest as the woman spoke, looking at her out of the corner of his eye.
A wry smile crossed his expression as she insisted that he could stay as long as he wanted—so long as the “quirkiest government mutts” didn’t chase them away.
“You sure it’s because you’re a quirker? Not because you’re chilling in a fountain?” he teased drolly. The girl was entirely too chipper. The kind of person that Yuki usually found to be a little taxing with their optimism.
They had a momentary stare-off, Yuki hugging the over-stuffed backpack while the woman seemed to inspect it. Like she had x-ray vision or something.
Yuki followed her gaze… and saw the bright triangle of skirt-fabric still poking-out.
Shit.
Yuki tucked it back into the bag, their expression falling into a small pout. Now she knew. Now this stranger knew that he was a weirdo.
Not that she was any better—she was in a water fountain.
A flush crept up the back of his neck and into his ears as the lady decided to make conversation about it. Nooooo. If only the ground could open up and devour him whole, and save him from this conversation.
“Uh… well…” and she was getting close, too! Yuki scooted a little bit, giving her some space, “They’re… girls’ clothes. So they’re… too cute… for me?”
Maybe this was a bad idea. He could still toss these clothes on the way home, like at the station in a garbage can or… something.
But that would be wasteful.
God, his Dad was gonna kill him.
He looked at the mutant girl again, and an idea dawned-on him.
“You… do you want them?” Yuki inquired, “They look about your size…”

♥ better than a pro hero! ♥ Serpent of the TOXIC Sea Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! That was absurd! They wouldn't daaaaaaare be chasing her out because she hung out in a fountain, it's just cause they were meanie pants people! Yeah! With a firm nod, she agreed with her thought and then it seemed like there was a pause like a really bad traffic jam or something! Then...it happened! The nice person with pretty eyes mentioned that they were too cute for him because they were girl's clothes. "That's stupid! Super ultra mega stupid! They're clothes and you're cute enough for each other!"With a firm look of determination with a huff, she wanted those cute clothes, but she wanted this nice person to wear them and be happy, proud, even! "I want the cute clothes, but I don't wanna take them from you because you need cute clothes to match your pretty eyes! They'll look so so so soooooo much better on you!" Clenching her hands into fists, she narrowed her eyes with a pout and wiggled her fists up and down, almost like she was on the verge of throwing a tantrum. "Someone mean must'a made you think you're not cute enough for those clothes and they're a stinky jerk for it!"Part of her wanted to go on a holy mission to have some words to this mean stranger's face, but she didn't want this person to give up on themselves or these clothes! |

a girl with shoes that cut
+ eyes that burn like cigarettes SHE TOTALLY OVERLOOKED YUKI'S REMARK about how she was inhabiting a public fountain, and that perhaps made the fountain-dweller even funnier to the young teen. But the girl was insistent that the clothes and Yuki were, actually, cute enough for one another. The fourteen-year-old sighed, hugging his bag tighter.
“You don’t understand… my dad will kill me if he ever finds-out that I have girls’ clothes,” Yuki sighed, without looking at her, “He’s got this really specific idea about how I need to be. Like. The perfect son. If he finds these clothes-“
God, Yuki could almost hear the accusations of perversion and mental instability now. This really was a bad idea. The girl was insistent that, even if the clothes were cute, they were Yuki’s, and Yuki needed them.
“They aren’t really mine,” the teen confessed, even if the girl seemed to be working herself into a fit over this, “They’re actually a friend’s. She gave them to me because they don’t fit her… so… sharing with you is kind-of like… spreading the wealth, you know? Helping a fellow mutant?”
The remark slipped through the teen’s lips before they could reign it back in. And they were already unsnapping the lid of their bag to withdraw some of the clothes for the girl’s inspection.
