Compress our form so that it shows growth from yesterday but is still within reason.

Talk to Hanako about how our other friends are taking our changes.

>>31082241
Yeah, let's compress our form to reasonable limits. No need to freak her the fuck out.

>>31082241
Compress seems fine.

>>31082241
Compress it so it seems like we're going through turbo-puberty, but they wont suspect magic is happening.

Hanako’s head disappears as she climbs back down the ladder, with your blanket, leaving you alone with your new wonderfully tall self. With a sigh, you focusing on pulling inward and condense back down to the reasonable five feet and two inches you had revealed yourself to have grown since being hospitalized…

Okay, 2 and a half. Reducing your new assets as well, you feel out of place in the smaller frame you sported through a good chunk of yesterday. The ruined sports bra and panties hugging your frame look a little loose, but hopefully she won’t notice.

“Hanako, I may actually be a girl, but I’m feeling a little exposed,” you call down from the loft, cautiously.

“Sure sure,” you hear from her below...directly below the loft.

The sounds of closing drawers and shuffled cloth hits your ear. Is she going through your closet?

“Hmmm…I’m leaving you out something simple so we can get moving. I’ll glue my eyes to the wall of your kitchenette while you’re getting changed!”

This woman. When she thought you were a guy she was always pushy about trying to get your attention, now is she pushing to mold your newfound sense of femininity. At least she accepts you, she’s still a friend. As you navigate your ladder, a far easier task this morning than it had been been last night, your mind drifts to the rest of your friends.

Replacing your undergarments and pulling up the dark blue sweat pants left out for you, you call over to Hanako.

“You mentioned Junpei acting weird about everything. What about the others?” you turn over your shoulder to see her back, facing your hanging row of pots in the thin galley kitchenette just off your hallway under the loft bed.

It amuses you that but a moment ago you possessed a more generous and probably firmer back than the one you appraise now, purely for comparative purposes.

“I can’t speak for Kentaro, and Kaito already knew,” she muses while playing with your chrome saucepan, “But Hitomi didn’t seem phased by it. I’m not sure anything can phase her. Did you see the flowers she left you before your room got bombed?”

“Yeah, I thought they were very pretty. I liked them,” you smile until you notice you can see her eye reflected in the pan.

Turning in an embarrassed huff, you pull the black long sleeved undershirt on over your head. Followed soon by a white short sleeved T shirt with the red text logo of BJW, Big Japan Wrestling, emblazoned upon the chest. Fishing for your blue cap from your low table, you straighten yourself out. Between your new height and the pull of your chest, you shirt rides up to your belly button, exposing flat and firm stomach.

“I’m ready,” you cough.

Hanako spins, her earth tone sundress swishing with her, as she lets go of the saucepan and smiles.

“Awww,” how coos, “Tsubasa-chan is so cute! I may not even need to impart upon you greater fashion tips if you can pull of the tom boy type so well!”

She closes the distance between you and squats down, to your surprise, and poke you in the belly.

“Amazing!” she exclaims, “That you can eat the way you do and stay rock hard. I’m so jealous,”

You invited this. Letting her take you shopping. You knew what was likely to come with that, but you feel so much more embarrassed than you normally would beneath her scrutiny.

Seems in character now that we're finally hitting puberty and experiencing such weird feelings.

Wasn't she already fine guys?
She had a mighty 1 verses out Everything is perfectly normal last time.
Now we're gonna get clothes that won't actually fit.

I'm going to through in a vote for slowly decompressing on the way to clothes.

>>31083071
>>”C-cut it out, Hanako,” be embarrassed and flustered.
Sure, let's try some fluster.

Your cheeks flush and burn with embarassment, taught skin without give meets the repeat inspection from Hanako's straightened digit.

"C-cut it out, Hanako," you manage to squeak.

She is standing straight and looking you dead even in the eye an instant later. Her eyes alight with an amused excitement. She grabs either of your hands, which you had raised from your sides in shock at her initial prodding, and lifts them close together between the two of you. Leaning in slightly to look up into your eyes, which takes effort as you stand roughly even in height, her expression grows soft and bleeds admiration.

"My master plan proceeds apace! I knew Tsubasa-Chan had a cute side!" her voice sings, "I promise you that I'll be your guide on your journey to womanhood today!"

"Th-that's great and all, Hanako-chan," you force a smile as your stomach growls,

Let's go to a AM/PM, 7-11, or LonLon and grab some things to eat. Not enough to truly satisfy, but just enough to keep the hunger at bay.
So enough food for 3 people.

>>31083752
>"What's the plan?"

>>31083787
I dunno, last time we ate we ended up with a bubble belly. That was last night. We should be alright for a bit, ignore the greedy tummy rumbles.

>>31083752
>"But can I grab some breakfast first?" What & where? There is very little left in the apartment.
Anywhere half-decent should do. Hopefully she's hungry too.

>>31083752

We can stick it out!

>>31083752
>>"But can I grab some breakfast first?"
Food.
Wherever is convenient. Get some grab and buy some time to slowly decompress before we start getting clothes.

>>31084242
Hanako was fine before, we made the 'Normal' roll and managed to get the super-gut processed, we didn't need an extra step, and if we don't none of this clothes shopping will work out.

>>31084425
We can just do more clothes shopping.

You don't yet know that you were passively mucking with Hanako's perception.

"but can I grab some breakfast first?" you withdraw your hand from her clasp and rub the back of your head in a less embarrassed laugh.

She nods as you retrieve your keys, cellphone, and wallet. They rest uncomfortably snugly against your hips in the the too tight sweat pants. You seriously thought they would have more give and we're thankful that Hanako had pulled them out.

"As long as you don't mind me not joining in," she waits for you by the door, "I already had a light breakfast and plan to be good today so I can justify getting my money's worth tonight,"

Walking up alongside her, you smile.

"Yeah yeah, is behavior like that part of your womanly instructions?" Once the both of you are out you lock the door behind you. Before long you're picking out something's from the corner convenience store on your way to the mall.

"For me it is," she grouses, "Do you know how hard I have to work to maintain my figure?"

You mull it over in your mind. Hanako has always been a robust hour glass, you know from personally peaceful drunken slumber slumped against her that she expertly hides her slightly pudgy middle under her loose and low cut blouses and shirts.

"I never gave it much thought, to be honest," you consider prodding her the way she prodded you earlier, maybe with a pinch for good measure.

No. You think better of it, remembering that you are now fair game for her catty wit. She exhales in mock frustration.

"I put on weight super-super easy," she laments, "All the time I burn on the elliptical and group calisthenics barely let's me break even,"

She raises her arms to the heaven and grasps at nothing in an overdramatic flourish as you walk side by side.

"And I was so worried while you were laid up at the hospital that I'm more than a couple of pounds over my median," she sniffs, "if you were a man I'd never tell you that, or I'd try and leverage that it's your fault to get you to take responsibility,"

She giggles, pulling a hand close to her face as it returns to a smile.

You get a large pack of tuna rice balls, a bag of edamame (soy beans), a small package of beef jerky. Digging into the rice balls as you continue on your way prompts yet more reaction from Hanako, as she eyes your meal longingly.

"Seriously jealous," she sighs, "and I'll keep being jealous until you stop eating like that, or it catches up to you. So, what did you want to look at first?"

Clock extended to about now considering to repost kerfuffle and what not. Counting and writing.

"Just casual clothes and some pants. This isn't a full on shopping expedition, more like a scouting trip to see what I like. I'll get an outfit for tonight, but a full expansion of my wardrobe can wait until I'm sure I'm done growing," you muse, "Also I'm expecting a grocery delivery around 4 or so,"

Hanako's eyes become a bit watery as she mock exaggerates your plight. You aren't sure if she heard the last part about the groceries.

"My goodness, what if you spent so long damaged that now you'll never stop growing taller. Higher and higher until you're stretched out as the tallest woman in the world! You'll have to live lying done or else your shins will break from the constant strain," she raises the back of her hand to her forehead and intentionally stumbles a bit with feigned worry, "oh cruel fate, to punish one who was cursed for so long to be small and easily missed to instead make them spectacle! Did she wish all this on a monkey's paw?"

Pausing in your walk, you stare at her with your mouth agape. She spins around to face you, resuming her steady posture while sticking her tongue out at you playfully and rocking back on the heels of her flat shoes.

"...would you like my edamame?" You offer the bag forward.

She is upon you faster than you can blink, snatching the bag out of your fingers and popping it open with laser focus. Chomping the pod in half she chews and swallows her first bite before looking back to your shocked expression with watery eyes.

"Thank you for offering the healthy snack," she smiles and lightly laughs.

How does this girl move so fast.

Before much longer the two of you are in a department store at the mall. Hanako is very good about helping you figure out your current size & what looks good on you. Soon you have a selection of jeans & black or blue capris cut in a way that isn't murder on your hips, a larger pair of sweat pants, a few comfortable sweaters and simple shirts, and assorted colors of yoga pants...

>>31086505

...you aren't sure if your ready to show off the goods like that, you feel less naked wearing the red and black.

Most of the colors are dark, Hanako's playing to your normal style of blacks or dark blues, though she wonders aloud if they should try being more complimentary to your natural hair color, "unless you're going to dye it or cut it again soon?"

get the jeans and sweat pants, along with sweater and shirts, they can be loose so we use them for a while before outgrowing

also we're too shy for yoga pants

>>31086544
Leave it long, no real preference on dye or not.
Let's ask her what kind of hair-color she thinks might suit us.
And for outfits...grab a baggy casual outfit, some jeans and cardigans, and I guess one pair of yoga pants.

Preparing a meal, then writing. Please take a moment to acquire your own snacks as needed.

"I'm going to leave it long, and I'm not dying it again," you smile as you look yourself over in the mirror. You are wearing a loose sweater with two ribbons hanging from either side and a pair of dark blue capris, "Time to stop hiding what's unique about me away from the world. If I'm not going to fit in like I used too, then I'm going to stand out,"

"I think I can help with that a bit more," Hanako smiles as she approaches you before the mirror, and weaves the ribbons into a series of catches along the sides that you hadn't noticed.

"What are you doi-"

"You're the engineer, figure it out," she smiles as she pulls both sides taught, and the sweater hugs your frame.

There's no denying it, just like there was no denying it when you were naked to the cosmos. You're beautiful, and even if it's not overly feminine, you feel pretty. It doesn't carry the same weight in your mid as being strong or giant...but it's important. It's a part of you that you'd been outwardly denying forever. Now, you feel pretty.

"So. I think we should get you some new shoes or boots to go with this next. Tsubasa-chan? Hello? Anyone home," she waves a hand in front of you and you break away from the mirror, "Do you want to wear this out?"

>what would you like to say or do to Hanako to express your reaction to yourself?

and when they do notice we should just blush and respond with "y-you too"

>Thanks for the fashion help
>wear it out

"I think I do want to wear it out," you tense a bit, "Hey, Hanako,"

"Yes?" she finishes tying off the ribbons into small bows on either side.

"I feel...pretty," it feels great; what you imagine bench pressing a tanker might feel like, "thank you,"

"Aww," she says as she envelopes you in a tight hug before releasing you and becoming a bit giddy, "So, shoes or lunch?"

“Shoes, you mean my sneakers aren’t enough,” you kid at her.

“Mock it if you will, but trust me, somewhere out there are a pair of shoes whose existence sings to you. They might be uncomfortable or the best things you’ve ever worn, they might only go with a few outfits or they go perfectly with everything. Mark my words, You will know the power of shoes,” Hanako intones seriously.

“Hanako-chan,” you say keeping a perfectly straight face, “I think you’re taking the art of womanhood too seriously here. Anyway, on our way over to shoes could we stop at the sporting goods store, I need to pick up a new sports bra and…”

She looks at you in mild confusion as you trail off. Its true, you have a bigger body than what she can currently see, and you’ve gotten it in your head to let the changes to that body come slowly so you don’t risk freaking anyone out. Her earlier joke haunts you, what if you don’t stop growing? What if you never stop getting taller until your natural body looks freakish?

No.

If you’re going to get that tall, you’re going to get cut. You’re going to get big.

“...and some free weights,” you nod with new resolve.

“Ah, I see someone is finally taking my warnings about their habits to heart,” she crosses her arms under her chest, “Muscle tone is a good choice for efficiently keeping weight down, I just keep up aerobics because I don’t want to get all muscled and hard bodied, I guess it could work better for you,”

Packing up your selections, the two of you make your purchase and move on to the next store. You expend a fair bit more on a really nice set of free weights which will be delivered to your apartment by the weekend, and a far less on a package of larger sports bras. You chat with the attendant about literature to check out for building and maintaining good mass, and about established workouts to look into for tone and sculpting.

>>31091146

Hanako finally drags you into the shoe store where you primarily look at simple shoes and flat bottoms.

“You know, it’s funny,” Hanako muses while trying out a pair of pumps.

“What is?”

“Before I met you I really always fell for an went out with guys with big strong arms,” she reminisces, “all of them turned out to be jerks,”

“You still flirted with guys like that trying to make me jealous when you thought I was a guy,”

“That isn’t the point, I’m still getting to the point,” she sighs, “Its funny that despite that type, I fell hard for short and skinny little you, and now that you’re outed as a girl you’re about to work towards the kind of arms I used to fawn over,”

“Yeah,” you smile, “I see how that could be funny,”

>>31091795

>>31091652
Seems we're at an agreement here. Faux leather flats

Writing, momentarily

>>31091926

As you’re looking about the racks for something simple to match your outfit, something catches your nose for a brief second. The smell of leather. Leather is something you’ve always been mesmerized by. You had a leather jacket in high school, until it got torn up, and you’d never gotten around to getting more of that wonderful smelling material in your life...and now, it smells...it smells better than it did back then.

Turning the place over, high and low, you are unable to locate the source of the scent. At the end of it, you settle for a pair of faux leather black flats. They are simple and offer you the comfort of movement and being far away from the high fashion monstrous pumps you saw Hanako trying on earlier; watching her walk.

Pausing, you wonder if you should tell her you noticed her watching you earlier. You spilled your guts to her about not having any kind of sexual drive before your latest accident, but now you’re left wondering about her. From a social perspective she’s been as flirty with you as she normally is with her words, just curbing her physical pushiness.

You could tell her you noticed this morning, maybe get a straight answer about that. No.

That is something she needs to bring up with you on her own.

Paying for your flats, and wearing them out, the two of you make your way to the food court after burning so much time looking at assorted footwear. Hanako excuses herself to pick out her own lunch...but what do you want. There is a fair selection of local food stalls and foreign chain restaurants.

Decisions decisions…

>>31092692

The myriad scents of the food court pull on you, as sometimes happens when one takes their lunch a bit later in the day, and you find yourself drawn to the kebab stall. Wasting no time you purchase several teriyaki beef and spicy chicken skewers and head over to the table where you and Hanako figured you would meet.

Hanako soon finds you and is sporting a simple salad with a small cup of what smells like tomato soup, but the color is a bit off. She takes one look at the pile of meat on your tray and shakes her head, still smiling, before taking her seat opposite you.

“Are you feeling more feminine after a rousing morning of shopping?” she asks while dipping her fork in a small cup of dressing before getting a forkful of salad.

“Mhmm,” you swallow the chunk of beef in your mouth before setting the skewers in either hand back down to your plate, “I had fun today, Hanako. I think it really helped ground me considering all the crazy things that happened recently,”

“Are the police any closer to figuring out who tried to bomb your hospital room?”

“...no, I haven’t actually heard back from them yet,” you relax and slip into an easy lie that you almost believed, “And if they ever find the guy...I guess I don’t want the trouble and attention,”

“You’re not angry?”

“Not now,” you shrug.

“Tsubasa-chan can be too kind for hi-” she catches herself, “her. Her own good,”

You can’t help but laugh a little at that, when you catch something across the court. Sitting with a kinda small collected volume of manga held ineffectually in front of his face and a soda in his hand is Junpei. He watches the both of you with a nervous aura.

Fun times ahead, we can stll be Junpei's bro somehow

>>31093080
On the one hand, Junpei is a friend, and his confusion and awkwardness is to be expected, and should be forgiven.

On the other hand, he's kind of a dunce.

>>31093080
thx for running budi
gud thread

>>31093127
If he's anything like P3 Junpei, there are still things he's good at.

Usual end of Thread Business.

You only appear to have 2 points in the bank?

Anything you'd like to do with it.

Any dice you wish to downgrade for points? And any associated dice you'd like to spend them on?

I'll check back tomorrow if we're still here.

>>31093182
well, there's selling Pretty Androgenous for 4 points.

but we don't want to do that just yet. Might freak Junpei out even more.

Just change Parents to missing.

>>31093241
No need to rush into that either, bank up a bit more before we fiddle with that.

>>31093269
it's just 1 point though. I'm fine either way.

>>31093241
what? no, then we can never be batman!
...batwoman.....

>>31093319
Batman/woman can't turn into a cosmic giant

>>31093345
but a cosmic giant can turn into batwoman

INTELLECTUAL CHECKMATE

>>31093370
it follows comic book logic. I gotta concede.

...well that was odd

>>31095866
Never doubt comic reasoning.

>>31095866
EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.

So, long vote.

Spend your 1 pt bank to change dead to missing? At this point, it will not alter Tsubasa's awareness of tier status as alive or dead.

Begin the long vote; and discuss what you will of the quest, it's characters so far, & the mysteries.

What does everyone think of Hanako so far?

>>31096299
Hanako seems nice.
Against spending the point at this time.

>>31096299
I'm liking Hanako.
Also no to using the Point.

Does anyone else feel bad about juggling superpowers with trying to warp reality so that people don't notice the changes Tsubasa is undergoing? No sense of guilt or pressure at all?

I can't even begin to think how Hanako would react if we didn't have Everything is Perfectly Normal. Pretty sure Junpei would just pass out from incomprehension and disbelief.

>>31096299
I also don't want to spend the point

hanako's pretty cool

>>31097439
nope
absolutely zero guilt or pressure
lol they probably would

>>31097439

At this point, Tsubasa is warping perception subconsciously.

>>31097537
Subconcious actions are tricky things. Do them long enough, and by the time you realize you've been doing it, some people will try to mentally justify the action in order to not feel "wrong". They can take up the inherent principles behind the action, and not realize that they are doing something they would consider objectionable unless someone slams the issue in their face.

Then you get denial, rejection, bargaining, acceptance, etc.

Other times, the person really has no problem with the action, and just say "Oh" when they realize they've been doing it.

>>31097586
Opportunity to notice is coming.

>>31097439
>>31097586
I'm ok with it, an aura of "Please don't freak out" is pretty benign. Just encouraging other people's tendency to make what they see fit their understanding of the universe.

Also common theme in supernatural/horror settings where a seemingly normal world is maintained.
If you've ever thought for a moment that you saw something incredible or impossible out of the corner of your eye and then immediately wrote it off as something normal, you decided that everything is perfectly normal and justified that view.

>>31099475
this
I'd rather cthulu use an aura of normalcy to fool me rather than drive me insane

Sooooooo


How soon can we start lifting those weights?

>>31100319
When the full set is delivered the in game day after tomorrow, Saturday.

>>31100358
Can we use the red and black to do cardio without losing gains?

>>31100371

A prevention of lost gains is effectively granted by Molecularly Optimized Muscular and Skeletal Structure.

You current free weight set does not provide significant resistance to you when you are cloaked in red and black.

>>31100618
ok, we already have
thanks for the info!
