[Well, this guy (or gal as the case may be) is now choosing to show his (her) charming face on the network for the first time. As a girl Joshua doesn't actually look all that different. The features are a little finer, maybe, the lashes a little longer, but the giggle is no less obnoxious.

Hee hee.]

Gosh... you know, I don't see how this is so bad. I'm not sure I'd mind staying this way longer, in fact. [A dainty eyelash-flutter directed towards the video feed.] For one thing, girls get much nicer clothes, and they're allowed to like them much more. It's so hard to be a fashionista when you're expected to be getting in fights and grubbing around in the mud.

Too bad there's no place around here to go shopping.

God, no, the addition of 'etta' does not a womans name make. Call me Nygma.

[zeitgeists]

I think it's cute. It's got charm to it. It's kitsch, you know?

[insolubleriddle]

It's the verbal equivalent of sequins, and lets be honest, no one really likes sequins.

Personally, I'd rather be talking about the loss of inhibitions accompanying a change in gender.

Feeling wet'n'wild, are you? Be careful, dear.

There are so many ways I could reject that comment, Joshua, but it's been a while since I've gone with the classic 'no'.

Consider some different inhibitions.

[Hee

hee. c:]

Well, friend, I'm glad changing bodies hasn't maddened you with lust. [Hee hee hee.] Do you feel inhibited at all usually, Edward?

[insolubleriddle]

[Damn it Joshua.]

Everyone has their inhibitions. The question is, are they voluntary or involuntary?

[plays]

Your first point is true. Your question is interesting. Some taboos get ingrained quite deeply, don't they? But people wrangle ways around them when they want to enough.

[insolubleriddle]

They do, but that's the expected course of human nature; the most fascinating of spectacles are the ones who skip the internal struggle.

[plays]

What would you call a person like that, Edward?

[insolubleriddle]

Enlightened.

And you?

[plays]

Efficient.

But I wonder if our accolades don't land us in the minority.

Video: Look at how gloriously unaffected she is...

[tis_disapproval]

Indeed... Edwina would be a much more applicable title.

One I shall keep in mind to remind you of in future.

[zeitgeists]

Edwina is absolutely adorable.

Friend of his?

That would be unlikely, yes.

Well, well, to whom do I owe the pleasure, then?

Re: Video:

[tis_disapproval]

You may call me Morrigan.

And yes, always Morrigan... Not some masculine version of the same.

Re: Video:

[plays]

The pleasure is all mine.

So what's the story with Edwina here? I'm not peeking in on a serious grudge, am I? Brr! I'd rather keep out of trouble.

Re: Video:

[tis_disapproval]

Namely? Insufferable ego...

Ooh, are you allergic?

'Tis a disease best kept away from one's stomach.

Stop that. You're encouraging him.

[tis_disapproval]

Yes... Yes, I rather am, aren't I?
