Summary Piccolo tries to escape the confinement of the MAC, and is running errands for his new living situation.
Format whatev



All efforts were still unsuccessful. He had been in this City for a while now. Since meditation was a good escape from his surroundings, the fact was he was still in a confined space became the harsh reality he was faced with every time he opened his eyes. The contact between nature and spirit was really starting to fade, thanks to thin apartment walls, neutrally colored carpeting, and the noise from the street. There was a vast difference between birds chirping and the wind gently passing through the leaves of a tree and loud traffic and gunshots outside.

How were people even able to think here?

He didn't wear civilian clothes often, but he was tired of the attention his eccentric cape drew. It was a quick errand, not a fight nor training. He didn't need his cape. The turban though? That was staying. Until he could find something else to cover the antennae. Not that the green skin and freakish tallness wasn't enough to make someone look twice.

Kanaya was out running errands, herself, enjoying the walk and taking in some sunlight when something seemed awry. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a large green man dressed a bit awkwardly. Maybe inconspicuous to most people, but to her she couldn't help noticing how poorly his choice of wardrobe accentuated his complexion.

Easy to guess he was an imPort, not many humans tend to have ears like that. It's a varied enough community that she could probably greet him, but actually broaching the subject might be a little too meddlesome, especially to strangers.

After a lot of long staring and consideration, she finally spoke up. "You're fairly new, aren't you?"

She shrugged slightly, the glow on her skin mild enough at the moment not to be a dead giveaway, but someone paying attention might notice it. "Not as apparent as I may present at other times, but yes. What gives you away is the clear discomfort displayed in your wardrobe."

Her eyebrows raise and she smiles with amused skepticism. Where could she even begin? "If you would prefer to believe that. But there is specifically the manner in which you wear it. You don't appear to enjoy yourself in it, and it telegraphs your presence far more than your appearance would."

She wagged a finger with a knowing smile. "Ah, but that's where you're incorrect. You see, this is precisely what my business involves. There's little reason for you to wear something you so clearly dislike. And the turban?" She gave it a scrutinizing look. He needed so much help right now.

Um, rude?! I mean, it's not like she's being a completely condescending meddlefaced meddler at the moment. ...At least not deliberately. So maybe she has a problem.

But she's not about to let him get away that easily, either, so as her glow flares up in frustration, she starts walking along beside him. "Excuse me, but if you hadn't noticed, I'm offering my services to assist you in the dilemma! It can be frustrating to attempt to assimilate into human life for non-humans, even when we're granted the anatomical disguise I have been. It would do you good to have someone more knowledgeable on the subject to share their information."

She was a meddler, and no matter how unappreciated her attention may be, she'd keep it going as long as she believed it was for the person's own good. With her preoccupation with fashion, this would be about as long as he was dressed as he was. "Not vocally, perhaps. But as I mentioned previously, your expression of kinesics telegraphs your presence far more noticeably than your appearance or stature."

She stared back at his turban again. "At the moment you're roughly as subtle as a digit flushed with blood following a painful collision."

She gave him a look between shock and disgust. If this were accidental, it could be excused, though that made it no less important to correct it. But deliberate? That is a horror she'd rather not imagine.

"What, then, was your intention with this outfit?"

She puts a hand on her hip and gives him a pitying look. "I'm without a doubt that we can do far better than that. For a start, dress you in something you'll actually enjoy wearing! Because this certainly isn't it."
glowsferatu: smile (No Im Not Entirely Pleased With This)

[personal profile] glowsferatu 2012-07-28 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That mild glow she'd had suddenly flared up as she pursed her lips and glared. "I'm offering my assistance. I don't even expect any kind of recompense for it!" There was a clear difference between being helpful and meddlesome, and while she hadn't quite explored what that difference was, she remained certain that it must be at play here. Somehow.

"You'll know it by my sign on the tag once the garments can be finished." She said it with a smirk, not often being given to smugness so much as haughtiness, but she could pull it off when necessary. "Kanaya Maryam."

Face it, Piccolo, you've got an overbearing not-quite-fifteen-year-old girl determined to get you a new style. It's all for the sake of assimilation, right? "Allow me to take your measurements and inform me of where the outfit should be delivered. Whether you may want it, I'm inclined to believe that your awareness of such needs is negligible."

"I shouldn't even need to bother you with the design, as I'm sure you'd prefer I didn't. I'll manage something satisfactory on my own." She pulls a length of measuring tape out of her purse. Yes, she travels prepared like that. "Now, where should be the easiest place to have this done?"

"The offices of the magazine at which I'm employed may be simplest."

And she pulls at the air, a green thread pulling with her, and a wide portal opens up to reveal the interior of those very offices.
