This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

I dunno.

[Tail swish as Rinku thinks about it.]

I don't not like how I was before, but I used to shift like this all the time just for fun. It makes people smile, and it feels nice, except when chairs aren't made for you or you flip backwards onto your bed or something and then it's like "ow ow ow" and you gotta make sure not to fall on your tail, but people like petting me and that feels nice and I like it when it makes them happy too. But on the other other hand, it's supposed to be just changing on the outside, right? If I changed on the inside too, I dunno how I'd feel then.

[She has been working on it -- as she said in March, she wants to master all of shapeshifting -- but so far that's mainly to emulate Evangeline.]

How do you feel about it?

[abnormalizes]

How do I feel about you getting stuck like that? Well... to be honest, I still think of you as human even when you have the nubs and tail, or when you turn into a fish or become part snake. I think of you as a human who's changing shape with her powers.

And even though they got stuck on you, it's not like you have giraffe instincts or make giraffe noises, right? It's not like with Choco.

[Who is the best example of human-then-not that Evangeline can think of.]

[roundandaround]

Huh... yeah, I guess so. Not unless I use the full shapeshifting, and I'm still working on that. It might be fun sometimes, though!

[Smile! But then she tilts her head and thinks.]

Yeah! Yeah, that's true. And if I ever wanna change, or something makes me change because that happens to some people, then that's different, but it's what it is now and it's fun. Except the hard parts. Thanks, Neechan, you know everything.

[abnormalizes]

I don't know if I know everything? But I know a little about humans, at least.

As long as you're happy, that's the important thing.

[roundandaround]

[Leans against Evangeline and nuzzles.]

Thanks, Neechan. That's how I feel too. If you're happy, that's important with what you do too.

[She steps back and taps her chin.]

...Also there aren't a lot of giraffe noises anyway. I mean, they can go [incoherent bellow, albeit quieter because they're in the house and she doesn't want to startle the Pokémon] when they're yelling at each other or predators or something, but otherwise most of the stuff they say is at a level humans can't hear! Scientists thought they were mute for the longest time.

[abnormalizes]

[Scritch scritch.]

Huh, I didn't know that. I guess you picked a good one to be stuck in if you got changes on the inside too?

[roundandaround]

[Giggle and nuzzle.]

Probably! They can make other noises, but they don't do it a lot. It's kinda weird being something that my favourite animal eats, but also I guess technically humans are that already kind of. And if I needed to see a lion I'd just turn into a lion and try to talk to it that way.

Hm... What's your favourite animal form anyway, Neechan? Do you ever go part way like me?

[abnormalizes]

I like hummingbird! I give myself the wings sometimes.

[She demonstrates, sprouting brilliant blue hummingbird wings.]

Part-octopus is also pretty useful for other reasons.

[roundandaround]

Oh, I should try that one! I wanna see how much I can hold at one time!

[Excited noises! ...And then the slow, unmistakable build of the tea kettle noise as Rinku buries her face in Evangeline's shoulder, completely betraying that she's been reading from the Otherworlder Merch Store's doujin section.]

oh

[abnormalizes]

Technically this time I didn't say anything explicitly sexual.

[roundandaround]

Wuehhhhh.

[Said not unlike a deflating balloon.]

I guess if people like it so much, that's good...

[abnormalizes]

It's fun to experiment with sometimes. I don't do it as often as you're probably thinking, though.

[roundandaround]

How did you know?!

[how often WERE you thinking]

[abnormalizes]

I've also seen those doujins.

[roundandaround]

[squeak]

Why are there so many of them for everyone?

[abnormalizes]

Tentacles are popular in porn. Maybe they're easier to draw than an entire second person?

[roundandaround]

They're popular in real life too, but...

[Squeaaaaaaaak.]

[abnormalizes]

[Eyebrows raise.]

You've tried those Consentacles, huh?

[roundandaround]

[aaaaAAAA]

I -- I -- I just noticed Sayaka-chan had one at her house and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[abnormalizes]

It sounds like you had fun, and that's the important thing! You know I'm not going to judge you for that.

[roundandaround]

It's still embarrassing!

[abnormalizes]

It's not like I asked for details?

[roundandaround]

I wouldn't give them anyway!

[Unless she slipped up. Again. And then she would scream and hide.]

I don't ask you about who you do what with... then again I guess you just say it.

[abnormalizes]

I've been making an effort to try to tell you less? But if it comes up I'm not going to hide things.

[roundandaround]

Okay...

[Siiighs.]

At least you're not gonna tell everyone else... probably. I hope. Sorta.
