I think we all need something fun right now. Especially those who need to take their minds off the cold inside of them while waiting for a cure.

So it's time for...

HOT OR NOT.

You know the rules. Post a pic and then get opinion and go around giving opinions to others. Usually the scale is 1 - 10, with ten being the highest praise.

[He's so good at this. Evangeline opens the door for him and beams.]

Hi! Come in, make yourself comfortable. You're even more stunning in person, wow.

[victorioso]

[Looks like door frames are a bit of an issue both horizontally and vertically, as he ducks a bit at first to oblige the offer. Each step, however, sees full feet shaved off, so that by the time he's within the room properly, he doesn't even have to consider ducking to avoid anything else. From nine feet to six, all in the matter of seconds.

Of course, he's just thrilled to receive even more compliments, and Oengus flashes her a bright, sharp toothed grin.]

Please, you flatter me! Too many compliments from a charming creature like you and my head will scarcely fit back out the door again.

[He picked his spot upon a couch, though the wings evaporated as he did so. Well, he didn't want to take up the whole couch, after all. He had to leave some room for his host.]

[abnormalizes]

[Oh, that's handy. A lot of larger people she knows can't shrink to fit in smaller rooms.

Evangeline lets out a sad "oh..." when the wings disappear - they really are beautiful - before sitting next to him on the couch.]

I guess you'd just have to stay in that case. Absolutely terrible.

[victorioso]

Oh, would you rather they remain?

[He'd heard that gentle sound, both ears rolling forward]

I didn't wish to take up the entire couch- I've an idea, since you wished to touch and even now I'd wager you'd have to stretch a bit to reach. I could easily take the floor.

Would it please you, I would be happy to stay for as long as you might have me.

[abnormalizes]

If you wouldn't mind taking the floor? [It's carpeted at least.] I want you to be comfortable more than I want to feel you up.

[...But she really wants to feel him up.]

[victorioso]

Of course I wouldn't mind, look how soft it is!

[Look, wall to wall carpets are unheard of where he's from, he could probably sleep on this floor comfortably. Just to reassure her, he slipped easily off the couch and right down onto the floor, making more than enough room for her.

Obligingly, the wings returned the moment he was settled, simply fluttering back into existence as if they'd never vanished at all.]

It's perfectly comfortable, you need not worry of it.

[abnormalizes]

Well then, don't mind if I do.

[Delightedly, she strokes his wings with both hands, from where they connect to his back to the outer tips of them. Gently, of course.]

Speaking of soft, these feel wonderful.

[victorioso]

[Their make was akin to a barn owl, wide and velvety soft to the touch. They didn't shine as a crow's feathers would, but rather seemed to just devour any light that hit them. The wings shivered slightly as she stroked them, the feathers rippling right up to the tip.]

Thank you, I've always been very proud of them. It wasn't a common color among the flock I was born in.

[abnormalizes]

They're beautiful. If I were part of your flock I'd be jealous.

[Continuing to pet them, playing with the edge of a feather.]

[victorioso]

[The wing flicked slightly, before he fanned out both of them for her, ever mindful of just how goddamn big they were. He didn't want to knock anything over after all.]

I was certainly popular while I was there! Mind, they're all lovely, as sirens are wont to be. They tend to be lighter in coloration; dappled browns, soft creams, sandy tans and brilliant whites, but all still equally a treat for the eyes.

[abnormalizes]

Ohh, so you're a siren. I should have known from how handsome you are and your lovely voice.

[The pettings will continue until otherwise noted. Evangeline could absolutely play with his wings all day.]

[victorioso]

You're too kind, Evangeline. But here I am commanding all the attention and receiving all these compliments, when I'm but a guest in your home.

Why don't you tell me of yourself? Your home, what you've done here, whatever might come to mind! You may have to explain a few things to me, I've found there's a great deal I don't know of here.

[abnormalizes]

Oh, me? Well, my home's a little depressing, so I don't want to bring down the mood with that kind of talk...

[Nobody really wants to hear about the City, even the people currently in the City.]

Here I'm employed at the Research Center, helping with developing potions and analyzing monsters. I do a few quests now and then, but I spend a lot of my time just enjoying my vacation here for as long as I've got it.

[victorioso]

I won't trouble you for the details, if it is painful to recount. But I am sorry to hear that thoughts of home trouble you so, you have my condolences.

Ah! You're an alchemist of sorts then?

[abnormalizes]

That's one way to describe it, yeah. I haven't spent much time with the magic here aside from shapeshifting, but I do like making potions.

[victorioso]

Ah! You can shapeshift?

[He's definitely not even bothered to check what all the possible abilities here are, he's been far too distracted by literally everything else. He turns his head about to look at her, leaning back as he did to rest against her legs.]

Into what, may I ask? Do forgive me if I'm prying, I've always had an interest in the art of it. Glamour is one thing, but to truly shift shape is a far more complicated affair.

[abnormalizes]

It's a seasonal power! All the seasons can do it, but what animals you're able to shift into depends on which season you have.

[She's a deft hand at it by now- as demonstrated by her arms suddenly transforming into octopus tentacles, which she wiggles at him, grinning.]

You can turn completely into an animal or just get parts of them, like this.
