Ferryman's Pact Pt.2 - 2022
BaftComorant, Punch Clock Animal/Masa con Papas
CW: None
Opera: How’s it going?
Charon: Mm?
Opera: You’re trying stuff on?
Charon: Couldn’t go around in that gaudy new-age look the cult used to flaunt this body around in.
Opera: Not a fan… so what’s that?
Charon: I… may have gone shopping some. I want my first day to be something proper..
Opera: A lot of these are really cute…
Opera: Oh god, I don’t know if I’ve seen a Ferryman in anything but pants… I don’t think I’ve worn a lot of skirts either though…
Charon: Pants used to be pretty important. They were for protecting the prosthetics. The older style tech made them higher maintenance if not well covered.
Charon: Always a layer of long socks or leggings with big protective pants for outings where there’s a chance of rough and tumble.
Opera: That makes a lot of sense actually…
Charon: Body is long gone though so… trying new things…
You take a long look at one of your hands, processing being in a new form.
Opera: Everything okay?
Charon: Mm.. everything’s so pretty…
Opera: You already were before!
Charon: In a different way. Never realized you don’t have pads, unusual for a karacel…
Opera: Different world.
Charon: Suppose so…
Opera: What’s got you though?
Charon: It looks so… soft. But there’s claws that give your hands an edge to them.
Charon: You’re built differently from her…
Opera: From your Opera?
Charon: Mm..
Opera: Cult modding, and just growing up a bit different I guess.
Opera: I’m sorry…
Charon: I mean… I think I resonate with it.
Charon: I was a mash up of fiend and dog and nightmare mutations so…
Charon: Things feel right at home.
Opera: Really?
Charon: Mm. Is that okay or…
Opera: It’s fine! Just..
Opera: The way the cult left me felt so weird… like my body wasn’t mine anymore and..
Opera: I didn’t like that but…
Opera: I dunno. Fact that you still like it even then makes me happy…
Charon: Mm…
Charon: I’m taller now too…
Opera: By like, an inch? Two tops?
Charon: It counts…
Opera: You just want to be tall.
Charon: A little, nothing wrong with that.
Charon: Soon I want to find everyone but… do worry it’d be a big change.
Charon: Memories are coming back slowly now that I’m grounded again.
Opera: They’ll still care about you I think…
Charon: I hope I haven’t been gone long… do you remember anything?
Opera: Not a lot… didn’t have that many close people back home anyway. But…
Opera: If I do, lets both make sure to meet each other’s people. Introduce each other and all/
Charon: Mm… and if you don’t remember, I’m sure my family will take you in.
Opera: Think so?
Charon: Know so.
Charon: Now um…
Charon: How’s this?
Opera: THe sweater look is so cute… do it.
