[ Zidane is looking very distressed when he turns his SFC on.  Just like completely and totally not happy and energetic.  He's quite obviously still huddled up under a blanket on a very messy bed.  Totally the opposite of his usual sunshiny temperament. ]

I've... I've been robbed...! Has anyone else found themselves missing something important? Because my tail... it's GONE!

[ He... he almost sobs. ]

Granted I'm like a foot and a half taller right now... and I've been thinking lately that it'd be neat to be taller like most of the other people around here... but not at this cost...!

[THE FOLLOWING IS FILTERED FROM ALL GIRLS BECAUSE OMG SO EMBARRASSING.]

And uh.. if anyone out there has some pants they can maybe let me borrow that would be really great.  Because none of my stuff fits at the moment and even I'm not gonna go out butt naked.

How does somebody steal a tail?

[ He really didn't mean to ask that out loud. Normally he would've kept it inside and just kind of ... ignored this. But he had a compulsion. This isn't good. He stops himself from looking too confused by it and just moves on like it's nothing. ]

I've got some pants you can borrow if you want them. Though you could probably go get a pair you're sure would fit you for free, couldn't you?

[kadonamonkey]

[ For some reason he feels vaguely surprised that this spiky haired guy is being so talkative. Huh. ]

Search me! I didn't know there was a way a tail COULD be stolen! And trust me, if there's a way to steal a thing then I know it.

[ He would show you his butt to prove it's good and stolen but yeah, probably not the best idea. ]

And yes! Obtaining a few more pairs of pants that fit me is indeed the ultimate goal here. But you see to obtain them means leaving my current place of residence. And as I have no pants at the moment that I can successfully pull up that means I either rely on the charity of some wonderful person such as yourself... or go out completely pantless. Quite the dilemma as you can see.

[introverting]

[ STRANGE HOW THESE THINGS WORK. ]

It's a weird thing to steal. Don't know what you'd really do with someone else's tail.

[ That would make sense. Right. ]

You could always use a sheet. Maybe you could make it a new fashion trend. [ Or he could go forward with the idea of giving this stranger some pants. That would be the nice thing to do. ]

[kadonamonkey]

A good luck charm maybe...

[ He rubs his chin. Hopefully it's not for anything weird. ]

You know I actually considered the whole sheet thing, but honestly, one good gust of wind and I'm being chased through town by local law enforcement officials for public indecency.

[ Cloud. Pants pls. ]

[introverting]

[ He gives a small laugh and a nod. There's a point. ]

Might as well spare everyone, including yourself. I can definitely get you a pair. Where should I bring them?

[kadonamonkey]

You're my hero! I'll send you directions, hang on.

[ doot doot doot, he punches away at keys and texts the address over. ]

[introverting]

Got it. I'll be there shortly. Hopefully they fit well enough.

[kadonamonkey]

[ He's waiting patiently all wrapped in his blanket and wandering around to reach at all the up high things. ]

[introverting]

[ And a bit later, there's a knock on the door. DELIVERY BOY at your service. ]

[kadonamonkey]

[ Zidane flings the door open and great him with a big hug of gratitude. ]

Thankthankyouthankyou....!

[introverting]

[ Oh there's hugs. That was unexpected. He tenses just a little bit, clearing his throat. ]

... You know this might be less awkward after I give you the pants. Just as a casual note.

[kadonamonkey]

Don't worry. I'm pretty secure right now, don't think the wind's gonna blow itself in here either.

[ He'll let go anyways. Because you are his hero bring forth some much needed trousers. ]

[introverting]

[ He nodded, going to hand the pair of jeans out to him. ]

I'm Cloud, by the way. I don't think I got your name before.

[Video]

[fightforastar]

Relax. You'll probably have it back in a week.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

You wouldn't really understand because you don't have one, but that's almost the same as telling someone who woke up without an arm to relax it'll be back.

[Video]

[fightforastar]

Ah... I guess you're right, I don't really understand it.

But I don't think it's the most disorienting thing they've thrown at us. At least the rest of you is still more or less.. well, you. Right?

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Well aside from being about a foot and half taller then before and pretty wobbly I guess I'm doing pretty swell!

...And I guess I'm afraid to ask but what else has this place thrown at people?

[Video]

[fightforastar]

There you go. I'm sure you'll manage.

And, ah, one time we all swapped bodies. Waking up as a guy was a little alarming.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

That must have been awful! I like you much better like this.

[Video]

[fightforastar]

He did have very pretty hair. But I agree, I'm much more comfortable like this.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Pretty hair or no, I think the universe would have cried if you were stuck that way!

[Video]

[fightforastar]

Aren't you exaggerating?

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Exaggerate? Me? Never!

[Video]

[fightforastar]

Right.

Anyway, I hope you can at least enjoy your newfound height a little bit while it lasts.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Would you be interested in a date before it's gone?

[ He waggles his eyebrows a little ]

[Video]

[fightforastar]

...I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I have to decline.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Aww... taken then are ya?

[Video]

[fightforastar]

No. Just not really interested in dating right now.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Hope you don't mind if I still visit you at the Crow's Nest.

[ If you think you are 100% immune from his flirting now... ]

[Video]

[fightforastar]

Well, I'm not going to turn away a customer.

[video]

[innocentgear]

This is probably one of the curses again...

[video]

[kadonamonkey]

Ooooh? Do these things roll around a lot then?

[video]

[innocentgear]

Unfortunately, they do. But please do not worry. It usually lasts a week.

Re: [video]

[kadonamonkey]

Just a week? Why you must be the goddess of good news!

[video]

[innocentgear]

Oh, not at all. I simply wanted to help.

_{[It did help, right?]}

[runbysmiles]

You lost your tail?

[ Even Sora doesn't get that one, but it looks like the both of them are stuck in clothes that are too small. ]

[kadonamonkey]

I did! Now I can't hang from stuff! Or use it to open doors when my hands are full.

Video;

[runbysmiles]

You could do all that?

[ Now Sora's staring as if he could catch sight of Zidane doing these things. Oh, right he doesn't have his tail anymore. ]

Well, you should get it back when the curse is over right?

[ Here was hoping anyway. Then again maybe that meant Sora would shrink back down to size too. ]

Video;

[kadonamonkey]

All that and more! Just think about how much you could do if you had a third arm.

[ Don't worry Sora, Zidane likes showing off. He'll show you a bunch of tail tricks when he gets it back. ]

Video;

[runbysmiles]

I bet you could do a lot!

[ It would make fighting interesting that was for sure. ]

Maybe I should have hoped for a tail instead of getting taller.

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

Maybe it's better you didn't get a tail. You'd miss it way too much once the curse thingy is gone!

[Video]

[runbysmiles]

You think?

[ Sora wouldn't know unless it happened. He would miss being tall though. ]

[Video]

[shippingmath]

Your tail is something important? Really?

[The award for Utter Lack of Sympathy is going to Dirk, apparently.]

[Video]

[kadonamonkey]

[ It's okay. Zidane has experience with the belligerent. This is nothing to get his feathers ruffled over. ]

I imagine you feel your arm is important too, huh?

[Video]

[shippingmath]

I could manage without it. And a tail is less useful than an arm, considering how many humans live perfectly normal lives without them.
