"Ou... Ou-out of our... C-clothes...?" He stuttered in reply, giving no resistence to Catnip's towing.

He could feel his tail whip around, hitting the inside of the now-heavier robe that he wore, as Catnip's actions and words played havoc on his mind. A part of him wanted to act like any confident guy would do in the anime or manga, if they had been in his situation; however, he was too shy, and too afraid of doing the wrong thing... He still wasn't sure what to do, so he simply went along for the ride. Well, for the most part: he did have a good feeling, amongst all of his indecision and general mental turmoil, about his situation; and it had something to do with the catgirls.

"There's only one 'ou' and one 'c' in our and clothes, respectively, but yeah. We're soaking wet, so we need to change. We'll just stop by a closet, and change in the bathrooms on the way to the living room."

Rose interrupts. "And, if y'all don't wanna change together, ya could always take turns."

Catnip's tail and ears droop. "Aw, I wanted to see Tetsuo's new measurements. I can't tell in the robe."

[Mitera Nikkou]

"Uhhhh..." He voiced, wanting to do something but finding no resolve for anything.

As he continued to be pulled along, getting ever-closer to a closet, he tried to think even though it was hard with his brain overworking itself into a frenzy of unintelligable thoughts. Well, if they coursed through his consciousness slower, they probably wouldn't be so muddled... Still, he did manage to observe Catnip from behind, and managed to remember that he really liked catgirls. A lot. Even so, he still wasn't sure that he was going to follow along with Catnip's every whim, and yet...

"Ugh...!" He groused in thought, mentally smacking himself. "Get it together!"

He also remembered that he, too, was now a catgirl. Not only could he feel it (despite his attempts to ignore it), but he could hear it and smell it, too. It wasn't like he was the kind of guy in what he read and watched, that gets the girl and has his way with her. He just wasn't assertive enough, and was more of the romantic type (even though he never had the guts to pursue anyone romantically). No matter how he sliced it, however, he knew that his life had changed... And that he had to change with it. It wasn't an appealing notion, not knowing exactly what to expect, but... There was something about the whole thing that appealed to him. He didn't know what it was (besides the catgirls), but it was enough to quell any verbal protest that he might have had about disrobing in front of a girl. Well, another girl... Man, he had a lot of things to get used to, for sure.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Rose and Catnip grab him by each arm, and walk him towards the living room. As they walk, they banter quickly, not giving Tetsuo much time to talk in between. "He's making a cute girl, from what I can tell."

"Yeah. Can't tell cup size."

"Maybe a cute butt?"

"Face is cute, even if it hasn't finished girlyfiying."

"That's because you LIKE nerds, Catnip."

"Ironic, since I was a joke."

"Yeah, the mad scientist was the one who liked nerds..."

"No, she just WAS a nerd."

As they get there, they see the aformentioned scientist, lying on the couch. She looks up, and smlies. "Hiya. See ya brought Typhoid Mary. Is it just me, or have both of these pop sensations had plastic surgery..."

[Mitera Nikkou]

"Um... I'm not a nerd..." Tetsuo managed to say, still blushing from the comments about his body, before looking confused while adding, "and I'm Typhoid Mary?"

(OOC: You probably meant the name of a duet band or something, but I decided that Tetsuo would think that since he is being brought, and the speaker didn't make any gestures of verbal cues to indicate anything specific. Mwa-ha-ha!)

[Chibi MitchellTF]

The scientist shrugs. "Well, probably not now, but you seemed unnaturally quiet. Otaku, or just hokkimaru? As for Typhoid Mary, unless you want to pick a better nickname, I believe that it fits you well. After all, currently, you should be the only one amongst us who can spread the catgirl virus werewolf style. Everybody else is 'neutrered' by nanobots."

Rose chipes in. "Spayed. We're girls. And please don't say that. It's painful."


The Scientist shrugs. "Okay, I'll save that for threats. Trauma Center: Second Opinion provides great practice on how to do major surgeries!"

[Mitera Nikkou]

"I'm an otaku, I guess... And do I need a nickname?" Tetsuo replied, eye averted.

(OOC: I have no idea what hokkimaru is. No results for Google. And what it suggests to look up doesn't seem to be for anything, as far as I could tell.)

[Chibi MitchellTF]

(Japanese phrase for Shut-In who never leaves room, all they do is eat, sleep, and totally avoid people.)


The Scientist shrugs. "I could give a reason, but I believe our leader said something to the affect of 'nicknames are cool.' I could BS something about putting your old life behind you, acccepting your new life, but I only just picked mine. SCIENTIA!"

Rose does a double-take. "From Xenosaga?"

Scientia shrugs. "I never said I was creative."

[Mitera Nikkou]

At the mention of his circumstances, he slumped in the catgirl's arms. (OOC: Well, I'm assuming that they're still holding him.) He knew very well what the newly-christianed Scientia meant, but he just wasn't ready for it. Not that he was in denial or anything... He just didn't know how to handle it, beyond being lethargic and undecisive about what he was going to do. Well, except for the easy things, like using the toilet, eating, sleeping... And whatever had become his life, in his bedroom.

However, when he thought about being contagious, he did find it appealing to have more catgirls around. Of course, his conscience stopped him from getting any ideas... He may not like what had happened to him, but he didn't think that forces others into the same position was right. Besides which, he was still more concerned about being undressed in front of the others...

In the end, he decided that he could try to take a small step toward a new life, seeing as his current name wasn't going to fit his new body.

"I'll consider a new name, I guess..." He told them, quietly.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Catnip and Rose set the slumped Tetsuo down on the couch, as the four catgirls turn to the TV. The rumors are correct. Reiko and Reika are truly the most beautiful women in the world, soft curves, long hair, and gentle eyes. The only flaw with Reika's beauty is that her gentle eyes seem to conceal a certain saddness, a certain worry. As for Reiko, it may be a trick of the light, but her face looks a little like that of a beautiful doll, almost with a hint of plastic. Both Catnip and Rose seem enraptured by the beauty, and by the words of the song. The words are in English, and sing of Dreams fulfilled, of Love found, though they also sing of dangers and traps along the way. The song sings of a loss of hope, and of a savior, an angel in the guise of a devil, or a devil in the guise of an angel. The song sings of obstacles overcome, and a price to be paid.

The camera pans over the audience, and a girl can be seen watching, smiling knowingly. Her face is exactly the same as Reiko's, save that the one watching is a redhead, while the one singing is a blond. And Reika watches them both, with those gentle, kind, yet oh-so-sad eyes.

Scientia is not enraptured, but simply watches dispassionately, as if curious about something. What it is, she does not say.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo wondered what the appeal was, but he was just glad to avoid having to get undressed and, well, getting dressed with who-knew-what. He thought that the singing was alright, but only spared the television a brief glance. Normally, while it wasn't exactly an interest of his, he didn't mind watching the pretty pop stars... He just supposed that he had too much on his mind to really care about it, although he did notice that both Catnip and Rose seemed highly interested in them. And, truth be told, the damp robe, that he still wore, kind of distracted him.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Catnip, upon noticing his discomfort, quietly sneaks a claw over, slits open the robe, and sneaks her claw back into her lap. The robe collapses to the ground, sliced to ribbons.

Catnip doesn't even stop watching the show.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo squealed and blushed furiously, but did his best to collect his robe. When he discovered nothing but strips, he looked around, wanting to find a place to hide, but he felt an uncharacteristic urge come over him when his eyes found Catnip again. Somehow he just knew that she had done it; his new nose had picked up on something that had informed him, but he wasn't aware of it. Either way, he found himself growling faintly before he lunged at Catnip, feelings of frustration about his inability to save his modesty being his drive.

The force of the lunge may have pushed the couch back, so its back was resting on the floor. If he managed to meet Catnip (as in: she didn't dodge, or failed to dodge in time), he'd be gnawing at her ear fiecely, but his technique would have a more pleasant effect instead. Also, he would reflexively try to wrap his limbs around her, to keep her from getting away.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Catnip squeals as Tetsuo lunges, and lands face-up on the floor. "Ow...hey...leggo...that's my...mm...wait. never mind. You know, you're pretty bad at fighting, but pretty good at...mmm...."

When Catnip starts biting back, that's about when Rose and Scientia blink. Rose raises a hand in the air. "Okay. Um...I vote you get the camera, while I go get some spare clothes for these two. Shall we leave them be..."

Catnip's sports bra flies in the air. "Yup. Is the n00b trying to kill her or kiss her?"

"You know, I can't really tell, I'll get the camera..."

(Shall we scene switch to after Rose gets back with a new waredrobe, and Tetsuo realizes the catfight was filmed?)

[Mitera Nikkou]

(I don't see why not... But I have one question. While Tetsuo is trying to (though half-heartedly, you know, like with the skill of a non-swimmer in the deep end) attack Catnip, is Catnip getting the wrong idea? I find the notion hilarious, because one side is feeling bad and wanting to return that, and the other is feeling good and maybe trying to return that... Even if it's just a sort of "petting." The only thing to add, would probably be that Tetsuo eventually stops his "attack" when he realizes that Catnip's being nice to him despite what he thought he had been doing, and decides to start cuddling just before Rose returns. I'll just have to guess what spectrum Catnip's attentions were in. ;p)
