23 Sphinx, Saturday Morning

Bo didn't like that a weekend wakeup -- before she even opened her eyes -- of "at least it couldn't be worse than last Saturday" was starting to become habitual.

Know what she disliked even more than that? When she was wrong.

"What the *&^*&$&^%&(^%)*_^)$&%^$&*^%&^%^&*@@@?!1!?" She said it before the mirror, she said it to the mirror, she said it after the mirror. Then to her closet -- how the hell was she going to go to work like this? -- but by that time she'd at least managed to cut off the What the...

Then she said, "*&^*&$&^%&(^%)*_^)$&%^$&*^%&^%^&*@@@?!1! I need pants!" but that was to her phone.

"Now I don't mean to criticize, but that's the worst chat-up line I've ever heard, mate," Mitchell answered, casually.

Nonplussed, but casual. Much, much stranger things had happened to him in times long past.

"I'm not trying to chat you up; I'm trying to get you to bring me pants. Yours should fit me."

Forgive the slight lack of sanity re: not identifying herself.

There was a brief spell of silence on the other end of the line. Really, this reminded Mitchell rather a lot of an incident back in '64...

...which he'd rather not think about right now. "Oh, so it's supposed to be a theft?" he asked, sounding incredulous now. Well, and a little try: "You could at least have the decency to turn up. Ever heard of a lazy kleptomaniac?"

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-24 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hoe can I turn up? I don't have any pants!" Come on, Mitchell. Logic, how does it work?
chosehumanity: (mitchell-annie: whatnow?)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-24 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Beat.

"Now there's an ontological dilemma."

Beat.

"I'm hanging up."

"What? No. Mitchell!"

Oh.

Scusi, por favor.

OH.

"This is Bo!"

"Ah."

Mitchell moved his thumb away from the 'end call' button, and asked, quite reasonably:

"Swapping genders again?"

Really, since coming to Fandom, he was quickly striking the last few remaining squares off his 'Shock and Awe' bingo card.

"You say that like I do it all the time. This is only... ok, the second, but last time I was somebody else. I'm actually me now." There was looking down, yes. "With some major alterations."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: on phone)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-24 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, I mean, this has happened before. To Kate," Mitchell clarified, getting up off the sofa. "Look, I'll be 'round with some trousers in ten minutes, all right? We can talk about your-- alterations-- when you've pants."

With that, he... did actually end the call.

"I do have a ro--" Bo said into the empty line. "....be." Because Mitchell would be terrified of the possibility of a naked guy waiting for him at her place. Right.

Which didn't mean she'd actually have the robe on when he arrived, mind. Now that she wasn't spazzing out, well.

She was here. (With alterations.) And so was a mirror. "...Hunh."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: cooler'n you)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-24 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Mitchell couldn't give three shits about naked guys waiting for him anywhere, thank you. He quickly gathered up a few pairs of trousers - who knew if one of them wouldn't fit? - two shirts, and a jacket.

On his way out, he also snagged two bottles of beer.

He showed up at her house with three minutes to spare, and... knocked.

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-24 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Good call. It meant there was actually a robe when she answered the door. Even if there wasn't actually a she.

"So apparently if I were a guy, I'd be the facial hair kind of a guy," Bo said.

She'd also be the red silk kimono kind of a guy, though.
chosehumanity: (mitchell: cute with cigarette)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-24 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Mitchell was absolutely unsurprised that Bo was attractive, even as a man.

So rather than voice anything of the kind, he offered her a beer, first. "You can shave later."
nookiepowered: (z - dude (listening))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-24 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"He brings beer and pants. Why haven't I married him yet?" It was kind of a rhetorical question, since Bo would hazard a guess that neither of them had much resembling a legal identity.
chosehumanity: (mitchell: innocent)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-24 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've been dead for a hundred years," Mitchell offered, with a wry quirk of his lips. "And I tend to expect a little more wining and dining first."

He slid past her into the house.
nookiepowered: (z - dude (listening))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-24 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fair enough," Bo answered as she closed the door. "Though you brought the wine-equivalent this time," she pointed out.

"Oh, no, beer means something else completely," he said, and put the stack of clothes down on the couch. "I brought you a few extras."
nookiepowered: (z - dude (neutral))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-25 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Pants or beer?" Bo took a seat, then.... rearranged her robe for the body it was actually covering instead of the one she was used to. "Not that I'm turning down either."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: comfy onna couch!)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-25 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Pants," Mitchell supplied. "Stop by the theater tomorrow if you want more beer."

That was an invitation, yes. "Or my flat."

He flopped down on the sofa himself.
nookiepowered: (z - dude (listening))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-25 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"I might just do that." Not that she couldn't get her own beer; it'd just been a while since she'd been over there. "So did this hit you too, last time, or is it just the girls who turn into guys?" And more importantly, were there pictures?
chosehumanity: (mitchell: innocent)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-26 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I've heard it's happened to the guys," Mitchell volunteered. "But Fandom strange has always been a bit erratic with me."
nookiepowered: (z - dude (frown))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-26 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
"So you get to be a pretty pony, but not turn into a girl?" Bo scrunched up her...slightly more bristly... face. "That doesn't seem fair."

To...someone. It probably seemed entirely fair to Mitchell.

"Yeah, I prefer the tits when they're external," he said, opening up his own beer. "It also means I've got a 50/50 success rate at dodging the worst Fandom deals with."
nookiepowered: (z - dude (frown))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-26 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Which of course led Bo to frowning down at her current... lack thereof. "I'm not sure I'd call them internal even when I have them, but I applaud the sentiment in general."

Yes, the 'tits, yay' one.
chosehumanity: (mitchell: rounding the block)

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-26 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, tits!

"And now you've swapped them out for a differently-gravitating organ," Mitchell said, helpfully. "I'd say... try to keep pissing sitting down. It's too tricky for the weekend."
nookiepowered: (z - dude (neutral))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-26 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aaaaaand on the list of questions I wasn't going to ask, that's.... well, crossed-off now."

Not that she was going to listen to that advice, because if she was stuck with the thing for two days, she should at least be able to say she'd done something useful with it.

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-26 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure I can cross off a few more if you give me the chance," Mitchell said, looking wry and... well, beer-drinky.
nookiepowered: (z - dude (listening))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-26 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Bo could look beer-drinky as well. That might be really helpful, actually. It would certainly make the curious, "Like what?" less facepalm-inducing if she was busy sucking on a bottle.

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-09-26 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"There might be some situations where you'll have to... adjust yourself," Mitchell said, delicately. "And there's the mornings. Obviously."
nookiepowered: (z - dude (frown))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2011-09-26 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Give her a second -- for the first thing, not the second.

"...Oh, fuck. I'm a succubus. Do you know how hard it is to not ...need adjusting--" Except when she was a girl, of course, she didn't. "--ninety percent of the time?"

Don't answer that by looking, Mitchell. It will only lead to tears.
