[So, how many of you are using the threat of curious lizagons to stay inside? How many of you re bored yet?

[Maybe that's why Leedin has carted in a bunch of sand, and it's covering half of the clear floor on the north side of the floor. There's even plenty of colors -- white, grays and black, reds, oranges and yellows, pink and even a few patches of olive green and purple. ]

[OOC: Leedin will probably let this persist until tomorrow.]

That's not the point. People're asking me to do it to suit them, not me.

You know, clothes also offer protection from more than just the cold. Don't you remember why the Exorcist uniforms are made the way they are?

Why are you so obsessed with what I'm wearing or not wearing? Also please remember large parts of my body are exoskeleton.

Because, as I've told you before, we look fairly identical apart from the obvious differences.

[Fussing is awkward. Falling back on familiar reasons makes him feel better about it.]

Anyway, don't you realize that it only makes you appear to be even more of a monster than you already are. You say that you don't care if people think of you that way, but you act human anyway. If you're going to act, you may as well better fit the image you're trying to display.

...

[wraps his tail around Alma's ankle]

....??? [Looking down at it.]

[YANKS]

Hey--! [Probably falls into the sand. Good job.]

[crouching over him] I'm not "acting". I'm just "me".

[PUNCHING.]

[HIT] HEY!

Everyone acts! It's impossible to "just be you"! Everyone decides what they want to show to the world and what they want to hide! It doesn't mean they're lying but it doesn't mean that they aren't acting too! People are complicated on the inside! You consciously or unconsciously choose how to "act" on the outside, and how you react to different things is part of who you are, but not every moment can show every side of you! You act human the same way I act human! You hide just as much as I do, while acting all high and mighty about not hiding anything! Just because you don't hide yourself physically means nothing.

You're the one calling that HUMAN!

[punches back]

It's not HUMAN! I'm not trying to act HUMAN and I'm not trying to act like an AKUMA I'm just trying to DO WHAT I LIKE FOR ONCE!

That doesn't mean it's not what other people think too!

[Tries to yank him down and flip them over.]

And why do you think I'm high and -- oof -- mighty?! You're the one making demands that I change myself, but when I say no, I'm being high and mighty?!

[headbutts him from underneath]

[Trying to pin him, probably unsuccessfully.]

Because you act like everything you do is wonderful and good and you can't be asked to change because suddenly I'm invading your "freedom" or something! You're like a little bratty kid who likes to run around naked!

I never said it's wonderful and good it's just that I've never been comfortable in my own skin so I do everything I can to fix that--

[kind of freezing oops]

Yeah, well welcome to the club. [Said in a half snarl, then shoving away and pushing himself to his feet.]

Wait.

What now? [Still pissy and not looking at him.]

Why are we fighting?

[Sighs in a frustrated way.]

It seems to be what we always do. Probably because you're an idiot, or I'm an idiot. Or we're both idiots. I don't know.

Do you want me to wear pants that badly?

....

[Runs his hand through his hair, messing it up as he tries to think.]

It would be nice. If you did.

[hugs his knees]

Even though I don't want to?
