A few complaints to register

[wylderrant]

Name: Iramaat
Date: 5/21
Format: Voice/Picture

[ The wonderful denizens of Aefenglom are treated to Iramaat's dulcet tones - although they're pitched down into something almost like a pout or even despair. ]

This is unacceptable, it really is. [ There's a long-suffering sigh and then she continues. ]

Pulling me across time and space and one thing, but this? Is another. They've changed my ears! My beautiful, beautiful ears...

[ Sounds like someone got their first bit of change since their arrival. And she decides to prove that am oment later with a sepia-toned picture of herself. Her long, pointy elf-ears have been replaced with a pair of ears that more closely resemble those of a deer (and they seem to have shifted slightly up the sides of her head). They've even got that dusting of fur, although it's hard to tell what color it all is. Her expression is incredibly morose and not at all happy. Maybe even a bit overwrought. ]

At least tell me I'm not the only one...? [ Well, she half knows that, but she wants to confirm it. ]

[Justine is laying in bed, her dark hair fanning around her lovely features as the device flickers to life. If Iramaat looks closely, she might see a book sitting on the pillow next to Justine.]

I think they're lovely.

Are they sensitive?

[She's noticed changes in others and she's curious. Why are these changes only happening to some of them and are they felt? Are they permanent? What does it mean?]

voice;

[wylderrant]

Well, they're ears, of course they're going to be sensitive.

[ She's practically pouting now. ]

But thank you, I suppose. I thought they were going to ruin my looks...

voice;

[ishisstrength]

[Justine's lips quirk into a delicate smile.]

I'm happy to say that they haven't.

Are you worried that there will be more changes? So many, have been changing it seems.

[wylderrant]

Do you think there will be...?

[ Huh. She hadn't considered that. ]

I wasn't that worried about it, but my ears...

[ishisstrength]

[Oops.]

I am sorry Iramaat. Perhaps we can stop it or ask the Coven?

[wylderrant]

I may have to ask them, honestly. I liked my ears as they were. They were beautiful.

[ Well, every part of her is beautiful, she thinks. But especially the ears. ]

voice;

[sullenstallion]

So this is what you look like when you're unhappy, huh?

[He should be apologetic. But.]]

Come on. Having fur on your ears isn't so bad.

[Just look at him!]

voice;

[wylderrant]

It's not the fur, it's the shape! They're... so broad.

[ She's not really whining, but there's a note of it in her voice all the same. ]

Not nearly as pretty as they ought to be...

Not ears, but nah, you're not the only one. [America tilts his head enough to show the blue-scaled wings on his back.]

voice;

[sullenstallion]

Are you sure that's it? The shape looks the same to me.

[Is he teasing? Is he serious? It's impossible to tell.]

voice;

[wylderrant]

[ Iramaat sighs. ]

At least wings are an improvement on you...

[wylderrant]

It's not even close to being the same! I can't believe you'd say something like that...

[ Wow, this is awful. She doesn't deserve this. Yes she does. ]

[fifty]

[Wow! America huffs.] Not that my wings don't look cool, but I already looked awesome without them.

[wylderrant]

I suppose, but I don't really have a point of comparison. I think it's probably better.

[ She's jsut gonna assert her opinion as fact, don't mind her.

Or do, actually, because it's sorta rude. ]

[fifty]

[Good thing America is rude and tends to assert his opinions as facts, too.

Wait no that is just going to make this conversation worse.]

It definitely isn't. It doesn't fit with the rest of me at all! Your deer ears fit you having horns so you definitely have it easier.

[He is the King of Suffering, even though he also said his wings looked cool earlier.]

[wylderrant]

Easier? My ears were beautiful. Not like those round little things you call ears.

[ Huff. ]

It's completely different! And not at all easier - besides, humans can only be improved upon, anyway.

[fifty]

Joke's on you, I'm not even a human, really. [Kind of. Whatever, that's not the point.] But humans are cool! And round ears are normal!

[wylderrant]

Oh? If you're not human, what are you?

[ Beat. ] And they are not normal. They're dull!

[ Is Iramaat petty enough to keep arguing about this? Absolutely. ]

[fifty]

They're normal! And they look good on people's heads! [It's all about proportions, maybe.] I'm a nation. What're you, anyway?

[sullenstallion]

It's not like I paid much attention to your ears, you know. Can you explain the difference in shape again? Maybe I'll get it this time.

[He won't.]

[wylderrant]

My old ones were much narrower, not nearly as broad, and had much sharper points.

[ Indignant huff. ]

[wylderrant]

A member of the Fair Folk, of course.

[ Hmmph. ]

Normal for humans, maybe. How can you be a nation? That sounds - strange. And fascinating, honestly.

[sullenstallion]

So...your ears are fatter now. That's what you're saying?

[He's being deliberately obtuse.]

I still don't see it.

[wylderrant]

Yes!

[ It's the worst possible thing that could've happened.

Except not really, she's mostly fishing for attention. ]

Well, maybe they changed your eyes or something.

[sullenstallion]

My eyes are fine.

[There's no self-doubt in his tone. He's not falling for that.]

I guess that means you're really a monster, huh? That's what they're saying, right? I could've told you were a monster even before you got fat ears.
