[You are in a jamjar. Like most jamjars, the vast majority of characters here are human or look human. But not you.

This makes roommate situations somewhat awkward sometimes... except with your new assigned roommate, whose eyes literally sparkle when she sees you.]

Oh...! I was definitely lucky with the room assignments this time. Nice to meet you!

Comments

[abnormalizes]

Doesn't everybody feel lucky when their roommate is gorgeous?

[That should address the 'intimidating' concern, at least.]

Evangeline.

[accursedwings]

[ There's absolutely no hiding his surprise at her comment, though it tapers off into slight amusement as a chuckle escaped his lips. To think he was worried about getting someone who'd find it hard to speak to him and wasn't about to try and call him a freak or anything. ]

Gorgeous? That's a first, but thank you. [ A small smile accompanies his words this time. ] Suppose I can't argue that.

[ His wings shift, having been tucked close to him as otherwise it was hard to go in and out of any rooms. ]

Quite a lovely name. I don't think I've heard one like that in some time.

[abnormalizes]

[She blushes a little, but her smile widens as she's pleased by the compliment. Although-]

Are you comfortable in here? Not too cramped?

[She sees those folded in wings, sir.]

[accursedwings]

Cramped? Hard to say just yet.

[ A pause and he took a moment to unfurl his wings out a little, light catching along the feathers neatly. ]

I have concerns of if they're going to knock things over if I stretch them out fully, but I wouldn't say i'm uncomfortable.

[abnormalizes]

They're lovely, but I can imagine they get in the way a lot...?

[accursedwings]

They do.

[ Yukie exhaled a soft sigh and stretched his arms out above his head, feeling some pent up tension there. ]

Just trying to find the right position to sleep in at night can be a task in and of itself, then when it comes to constantly having to get altered clothes to fit around them...

[ A touch of something pained flickered across his face but he shook his head afterwards. ]

[abnormalizes]

I mean, I certainly won't complain if you want to go shirtless around the house, but some of our neighbors might think it was weird. I do know a little bit of sewing, though, if that helps?

[accursedwings]

With wings like these, the last thing I want to do is give people more reason to stare.

[ Not that he had issues with his body or anything, since he did take care of himself and had a lot of toned muscle without it ever really getting too bulky or anything of the sort. ]

Actually, that would. I could find shirts I believe will fit me and then just getting them altered so I can wear them would work just fine with me.

[abnormalizes]

Great! Whatever you need to be more comfortable.

[Even if she didn't think he was hot, she'd still want to help out.]

[accursedwings]

You... seem oddly accommodating with things like this.

[ He used one hand to gesture at his wings, head canted to the side curiously. ]

Going to guess supernatural things are the norm for you, hmm?

[abnormalizes]

Oh, I'm used to a lot worse than that. My job at home was working with Abnormalities - supernatural creatures that usually didn't look even a little human. You're pretty normal by comparison.

[accursedwings]

Never thought I'd be referred to as 'pretty normal', but that does make me quite curious.

[ A pause. How did he word things properly? ]

Working with inhuman creatures sounds sounds interesting. You must be passionate about that.

[abnormalizes]

Oh, absolutely! It wasn't a great job for... a lot of reasons, but working with the Abnormalities and getting to know them was definitely the best part.

[accursedwings]

You weren't worried about them hurting you at all?

[ It's a perfectly valid question as not all creatures would be so complacent or accepting of others trying to get close to them. ]

[abnormalizes]

...I don't have an answer to that that's not 'you get used to the really high mortality rate'.

[accursedwings]

Fair enough.

[ He shrugged his shoulders, the wings shifting a bit with the movement as he considered something. ]

Hm... though I don't suppose you have some good nail clippers or a file, do you?

[ Yukie lifted a hand and it was clear that what looked like painted black nails were curving a bit at the ends, looking a bit sharp. These dang talons needed constant maintaining, after all. ]

[abnormalizes]

Oooh...

[A little distracted for a second by the cool talons.]

I don't think I brought one with me when I came here?

[accursedwings]

Ah, that's fine. Just thought I'd check.

[ He scowled a little at the offending talons. People had to worry about cutting their hair when it got too long, whereas he had a different sort of problem. ]

I just don't have any wishes to accidentally cut someone with them because I haven't had a chance to trim them.

[abnormalizes]

[She wouldn't mind... is something that she has just enough sense not to say out loud in their first conversation.]

They should sell those at the convenience store, right? I'll pick up a couple the next time I go.

[accursedwings]

That would be very helpful. I'd appreciate it.

[ He'd go and pick them up himself but... Yukie wasn't fond of the stares he got from the wings or having to try and mind them in a store and those entirely too tiny aisles. ]

Got to say, it's nice having someone treat me a bit more normal. It's been a couple of decades, at least.

[abnormalizes]

People can be so rude sometimes. It's no one's business what body parts someone else has. There's no excuses for that kind of behavior.

[accursedwings]

I agree. Though not everyone thinks that.

[ Yukie shrugged, feeling incredibly at ease now due to having such an understanding individual as his roommate. ]

Most people just see the wings and the inhuman parts of me and either stare or call me a freak, a monster, an abomination... the list goes on.

[abnormalizes]

They're jerks who don't know what they're talking about! You should flip them off, honestly.

[accursedwings]

I should? I hadn't considered that an option before now. It'd send a clear message, wouldn't it?

[ He couldn't help but chuckle a little, smiling softly in amusement at that. Mostly he'd been daunted by having them that some part of him just kind of agreed with them on those names people had called him. ]

[abnormalizes]

You should! If people are going to be rude to you, you should be rude right back. You don't have to just sit and take it. In fact, if anyone's ever mean to you, let me know and I'll tell them off myself.
