[Someone is really, really, really not too pleased about waking up to find out that she'd become what amounted to a gangly, teenage version of her brother. She'd managed to remove the more constricting parts of her uniform, now simply wearing a towel around her shoulders and a pair of dull shorts. Retreating to the Plane had seemed like the best option at this point. She hadn't wanted to deal with Luke's reaction, or Jade poking fun in his dry fashion, or Anise...

Oh, Yulia. It wasn't really a retreat at all.

It was honestly infuriating, and that was outside of all of the niggly biological changes that she was sure she would have to deal with at some point. For now she was simply content to sit in an out-of-the way place and avoid reflective surfaces.]

[approaches Tear uncertainly. the man looks a tad familiar, but considering she only met Tear once--when she was both female and appearing like a child--Olivia doesn't make the connection. still, that is definitely not a happy expression on her face]

Hey...are you okay?

[Temporary stand-in for oliverplus!]

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[There's something familiar about the person Tear finds approaching her, but she can't quite place it. She's on guard, studying Olivia carefully.]

I'm fine, miss...

[ephemeral-day.livejournal.com]

[smiles reassuringly] Ollie. I only asked 'cause you looked upset, and...well, strange things've been happening around here again, so you never know.

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

Ollie..? I'm not sure we've...

[wait a minute]

Oliver..? You.. too?

[ephemeral-day.livejournal.com]

[surprised] You know me? [frowns] I'm sorry, but...you're gonna have to help me out here.

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[ooc: I thought they'd talked before, but I could be wrong. Sorry >.< ]

Sorry. I'm Tear.

[ephemeral-day.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Like I said, they did, but Oliver was seeing a child--and a girl--at the time, which is a bit too different to easily recognise]

Tear--ohhh! So it isn't just me...

You sure you're okay?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

........ I'm as well as I can be, right now. You're... okay with this?

[ephemeral-day.livejournal.com]

[shrugs, looking a little uncomfortable] I can't remember being any other way.

[clinical]

[Oh hi Van]

What a familiar face this is.

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[JUST WHO WE DIDN'T WANT TO SEE.]

Don't remind me.

[clinical]

[Tear has earned 'Van's Little Brother' title!]

Is something the matter?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[She glares up at him for a moment before standing up, taller than she was before. Still not tall enough to look him in the eye, though. She clenches her fists loosely.]

I should have thought that was obvious, Colonel Curtiss.

[clinical]

[with a feigned gasp] Tear, is that you?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

Who else would be here?

[clinical]

This place takes in people from all points in history.

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

... you really thought I was......?!

[This is a really late comment, but who cares.

Asch has a knack for out-of-the-way places and getting into things he should not be getting into, like genderswaps of people related to his mentor/worst enemy.

There is only one word for what he stumbles upon today:]

WHAT.

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[Looks up as she hears someone approach, hoping it isn't someone who knows her.

Alas, she is not so lucky. If anything, she's even less lucky...]

A-asch?!

[promisedsomeone.livejournal.com]

[He is mortified beyond belief, but it's only a shred of dignity that keeps him from screaming about it.]

... [hesitantly] ... Tear?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[Quickly turns away oh lorelei why does everyone have to be showing up for this]

Y-yes...

[promisedsomeone.livejournal.com]

[Karma hates both of us.]

Must be one of those experiments. Meredith and her ilk are trying to sidetrack you, I imagine.

[OH GOD, HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A GIRL. Subconsciously you KNOW he's just thinking 'please let me keep my balls this place is terrible'. Because it is.]

I wonder if there's any way to reverse it without their help. Someone here must have that sort of power. [No, he doesn't care about your well-being, shut up. If you don't spend time off the Plane so that his plan can move, then that screws him over. :|]

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

If it is, it's an experiment I want no part of. This is... like some sort of waking nightmare.

[come on asch, fangirls everywhere want you to be more femmy! do you really want to disappoint them all? (the answer is yes)]

... I'd like it to end soon. There are some things I... don't particularly want to have to do like this.

[promisedsomeone.livejournal.com]

[Asch lives for disappointing other people.]

Seeking refuge here is your best bet. [He's not looking directly at Tear during this conversation, btw.] The ballroom is safe now. You could probably cloak yourself while you search.

[Because you look like either Van or a man!Tear, and neither are very good options right now.]

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. I came as soon as I realized... [THAT'S OKAY ASCH SHE WOULDN'T LOOK AT HERSELF EITHER] I didn't have time to grab anything else to use to cover myself. I thought it was better to remove myself from the events happening than risk causing trouble by appearing to be... him.
