CLUB 33 (REGROUPING)

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well...it seems like Club 33 is still open, and the transporters are working again. You're able to gather up your friends from elsewhere and bring them back here to regroup. You also notice that there's a very large pile of stone here in the middle of the Club that doesn't...seem to resemble anything. Sculpture is weird.

What do you guys want to do?]

Oh? That sounds more interesting than the selfie.

[Hopefully his true form isn't something super weird or creepy.]

[lusito]

Why am I somehow not surprised that you would say that, despite knowing full well how great my selfies are.

[... That said, Joshua toys with his phone a little before actually doing anything. He hasn't been himself in quite a while, having stayed this way in Traverse Town for the sake of keeping Neku and the rest of their friends comfortable in his presence. Still, he can easily disguise any outward sign that can be interpreted as nervous about it, because "nervous" is just not what Joshua does.]

Try not to be too awestruck when you see it, hm?

[tadaishi]

You make me sound too predictable.

[If it makes him feel any better, Neku is off in some other corner of the restaurant attempting to get food he recognizes, so he's not paying attention to what Joshua is or isn't doing right now.]

Mmm, I'll try.

1/2

[lusito]

You are, but luckily I still like you anyway.

[Alright so... Joshua puts his hands down flat on the counter of the bar he's sitting at here, takes a breath... and then suddenly, it's as if he's glowing a lot brighter now.

... Or rather, the white light is cracking and tearing through his skin, dissolving the human appearance of Joshua Kiryu to take the shape of... well. Still a person, but their entire being appears to be completely pure light rather than completely solid, all decked in white and taller than the scrawny teenager look he had before.

There is the familiar shape of Joshua's hair that still identifies him as Joshua as he turns to look at Tadashi. It looks like you can't really see his eyes though, as they're hidden underneath his bangs here.]

[lusito]

[... But, he does smile, and that is definitely the Joshua-brand level of smirking here.]

Well? What do you think?

[tadaishi]

[Well, that's an interesting transformation. Very bright, too. Tadashi is quiet as Joshua's shape changes, and then for several seconds afterward.]

It's...um...wow.

[Is he corporeal? He's going to try to touch Josh's shoulder.]

Bright...

[lusito]

[He can be when he wants to, but Tadashi will find that he is able to touch Joshua's shoulder for this occasion.]

The brightness is considered mandatory for the deity hat-trick, I'm afraid.

[tadaishi]

I'm not complaining, I just wasn't expecting it. It's pretty cool.

[Gonna touch his hair next. Sorry Josh.]

[lusito]

[This is fine. More than fine, so go for it--his hair is very nice and soft.]

Of course it is. I wouldn't stand for anything less.

[tadaishi]

I could start critiquing your presentation, if you'd prefer?

[So it is. Such a soft apparent hard light-being how do you even do that, Josh? Don't mind him, he's just going to play with your hair for a little bit; he's never actually had a chance to do this.]

[lusito]

Oh? What kind of critique could you possibly have for me here?

[tadaishi]

Hmm...

[He should've expected Joshua to call his bluff. Honestly, he doesn't have any critique, aside from the fact that this form of Joshua is all white, but that's apparently mandatory.]

...Okay, you caught me. I got nothing.

[lusito]

[Hee Hee]

Really? And here I was, on the edge off my seat, waiting to hear it...

[tadaishi]

[Do not make him pour the rest of his soda over your head--wait, would it just go through him? Maybe he should test this for science.]

I'm sure. Well, I can't see your face as well now, and that's sort of disappointing.

[lusito]

[Just try it, we dare you.]

... Ah, I guess that is a more reasonable disappointment to have.

[Despite his eyes being hidden under the shadow of his hair here, at least he's still able to emote a little in the way he frowns now upon hearing that.]
