An Offer they Can't Refuse

[Knight Errant]

Steve thinks a bit... well... if he was going to be a girl... he might as well look for a haircut he would like to see on one... He starts looking!

=======================================

Melissa gulps a bit... then glances around the room... nodding silently. "Okay... shoot..."

[muffinstud]

Will lowered his head and looked around too. Will whispered. "Are they trying to turn me into... a gay guy?"

========================================

And Steve does find hairstyles he likes. The women with shoulder length hair look very attractive, especially the ones with plenty of volume and long bangs. He doesn't exactly have the length to pull of the back part, but he could probably style his bangs that way, especially at the rate they're growing.

[Knight Errant]

Steve picks his favorite style of nice shoulder length hair... then reminds himself to remember that... This magazine more or less used up... he sets it aside and checks the one about... shoes. o___o

============================

Melissa stares a bit... her face carefully neutral... then she breaks into a slow smile. "No, Will... they arent. I promise..."

[muffinstud]

Will frowned. "You sure? I mean, I'm confused about some pretty personal stuff. That and with all the beautiful women around here..." He shook his head and looked down into his lap. "It's the only semi logical thing I can think of."

=======================================================

"Find anything interesting yet?" Hannah was idly flipping through a different magazine about different accessories. The shoe magazine didn't prove to be as interesting as the hair book at first, but soon found himself comparing his shoes to the ones on the pages. Granted, his shoes were more athletic in nature, but they didn't look as nice as half the different styles and colors.

[Knight Errant]

Steve shrugs. "I found a nice hairstyle I'd like to grow into... now I'm... err... looking at shoes..." .___.

==============================

Melissa nods. "I am a hundred percent sure... trust me..." She pauses a bit... thinking. "But... keep thinking about it. If you guess right I can talk about it..."

[muffinstud]

Will clutched his head and groaned. "Ugh, I feel like I'm never gonna get it. Still, whatever it is, it's pretty messed up so far." He sighed and munched on his chef salad.

===================================

Hannah smirks. "Oh? Any cute ones?" As he looked more, Steve did find himself polarizing to particular pairs of shoes. The fact that they simply looked better than his tennis shoes wasn't lost on him either.

[Knight Errant]

Steve rolls his eyes. "Its the difference between aesthetics and practicality... I've always loved heels on girls, but I hear they are murder for the feet."

===============================================

Melissa sighs... but smiles. "It is that..." She says... as Will munches the tasty delicious crisp salad!

[muffinstud]

Will couldn't keep pouting for long, what with the tasty morsels he was chewing. "Is this stuff organic? They've got to be doing something different to make this stuff taste so good."

===============================================

Hannah tilted her head. "True, I'll give you that. What about some pumps, or some cute sandals though? There's nothing that says you can't be cute and comfortable." Indeed, there were shoes in the magazine that weren't high heels, and some of them caught his eye as well, even if they weren't as immediately appealing as the high heels.

[Knight Errant]

Steve glances down. "I guess so..." He blushes... "I feel... weird talking about it."

=======================================

Melissa smiles a bit. "We do have our own farm and garden greenhouse. I always figured most of this came from there."

[muffinstud]

Will nodded. "That could explain it. Letting things get vine ripe before picking them, it makes for some tasty fruit." He took another long pull off the smoothie. "As good as this is, I still wish I could get my hands on some beef. This would be the perfect place for a barbeque."

=====================================================

Hannah leans in. "Really? Is that because you already think some of these shoes are cute? You can tell me. Remember, I went through the same thing."

[Knight Errant]

Steve glances over to Hannah. "Some look... nice... I keep comparing them to my shoes... and... feeling like some of them are better..."

===============================================

Melissa smiles. "Yeah... that would be fun." She thinks a bit. "Well there is seafood night... every Saturday they have a big seafood buffet down at the beach."

[muffinstud]

Will lifted his head to the heavens. "Thank you." He then proceeded to finish off his salad. "Sign me up, I'll be there early if I have to. Will needs his meat."

===================================

Hannah pats him on the shoulder. "Cute, Steve. The word for shoes is cute. Don't be afraid to use it. As far as comparing, that's a decent first step." She closes the shoe magazine. "Now, I'm sure that before you read these, you'd never considered having a long hairdo, or even wearing one of those pairs of shoes. But you're considering it now, aren't you?" She gives him a meaningful look.

[Knight Errant]

Steve blinks... then thinks about it. "I... guess I am?" He frowns... "How is that... possible?"

=======================================

Melissa giggles a bit. "Seafood, Will, seafood... its still good for you. And you do need protein."

[muffinstud]

"And iodine, precious iodine." Will nodded sagely. He slurped up the last of his smoothie. "But I can hardly wait. Speaking of which, you want anything else?"

======================================

"Because everything here is made to condition you." She points to the bathroom. "A lot of it is physical, since there's a pretty big difference." She picks up a magazine. "But not everything can affect you physically. So it conditions your mind, makes you more willing, more receptive to the changes." She set it back down. "Know that you know what's affecting you, you can choose how you're affected, and how much. Now you can choose what kind of person you will be."

[Knight Errant]

Steve frowns. "So thats why I got that weird desire to wear Alice's dress when I read that book..." He looks over to her. "Just how much control do I have?"

============================

Melissa shrugs as she finishes up. "I'm fine here... why?"
