Unless you guys want to give her the shot anyways: she doesn't want it, so no need to force it on her.

>You have the shot yourself, and while you're not a breakfast drinker like most of your neighbors, frankly you kind of need it. Someone broke into your home. This isn't like it was in the old days, when you were on the surface and everything was cutthroat. It's supposed to be different now; you live among Oni for heaven's sake! Yes, that drink is helpful.

>You sigh. It's going to be a day, you can feel it.
>You don't like the backpacks, your wings don't fit well around them, but they can hold a lot of stuff easily. Purses can be nice, but can be hard on your shoulder if you carry too much. General sacks are undignified, and have a way of making people thing you might be stealing something since they seem so crude. The doctor's bag has handles, which is nice, and the briefcase isn't so spacious but protects it contents nicely.
>It depends. Your favorite one-piece has a lot of give to it, but if you make yourself much taller it quickly become indecent (though using it as a tight shirt and adding a skirt helps). You also can only make yourself so small before it hangs off of you. But it can accommodate quite a fair amount of build shifting without problems.

>You know of Utsuho decently well; her face in on a poster out front reminding your, her and anyone else that she cannot get drinks. You've never had more than a passing meeting with her. The last thing anyone needs is for someone like her to have lowered inhibitions. It seems she's hooked up with the bridge princess, and this didn't end in a terrible and potentially city-destroying brawl with Yuugi.You don't know all the details but apparently the bridge princess is going out with both? Either way, she's one of those people you're try not to get involved with, you remember well what she tried to do a couple years back...

(For the record and reference of other players, I have no grand plans, outside of possibly snagging an Eientei rabbit outfit if we want to sneak into the place as a rabbit worker, which would come after Deva K regardless. This is just what's going to happen when I get left with the keys to the polymorph bus.)

> Topological transformations are nothing but rotations, translations, stretches and squishes. There are no breaks and no fusions involved. For example, you could topologically transform a donut into a coffee mug, since they both have a closed loop, but you couldn't topologically transform a donut into a bicycle wheel because all the spokes would create a whole bunch of other loops that weren't present before. Melding would be something like touching our index finger to the palm of our hand and then fusing the two so the skin becomes seamlessly connected, as if our body easily transitioned from solid to liquid to solid again at the point of contact.

>It is more like the latter, but the further out you go, the more difficult it gets and the more it takes from you to keep it in place. It is, as you say, a fiddly process. Trying to replicate something specific; as opposed to something general where you don't care for it to be mistaken for something else, is quite a hit harder still.
