[ VOICE ]

[A familiar tone, a rather less familiar voice. Unless you remember the last time this happened. Or you knew him before his voice changed. But that's unfair. He never sounded quite this girly. Mostly.]

You know, I'm not sure I've ever seen this happen by itself-- the curse, I mean. I've seen it on the weekends when we have mixed curses-- I've been cursed before, even-- but being this widespread... I can't recall.

[Siiiigh.]

It's not terrible, it's just... uncomfortable, not being myself.

[Utsuho is reluctantly coming to the bookstore to look for a really basic reading primer. She doesn't know how to read the title, even, but she has the characters on a card and was told it hand it to a store employee.

Normally she's about 5'8", sturdy for a woman, and clearly female, but right now she's a really tall guy, muscled and fit, with shaggy black-brown hair, huge black wings folded into a heavy mound on her back, and burning red eyes. Actually, the sort of person who would freak the hell out of people if she looked aggressive.

Right now, though, Utsuho just looks confused. She holds the card out to Neil.]

Ah...hey. Do you have this in stock?

[Well, she-- or he, as far as Neil can tell at the moment-- is certainly enough to give him pause... but Neil's been in the City long enough not to (if you'll pardon the pun) judge a book by its cover.

He straightens up from his slouch against the counter, tugging at the edge of his ill-fitting shirt, and takes the card.]

The title doesn't sound familiar... [He frowns lightly, glancing up.] Do you know what it's about?
