[Luke got himself a little hand mirror this time around. The picture it shows is mostly filled with a worried sort of frown, although around the edges of the boy's face a reasonably sized, fairly unkempt room can be seen.

Initially, Luke's wearing a tight fitting blue knit cap, tied securely under his chin. His bangs stick out awkwardly, and he keeps adjusting the sides gingerly. He sits back against his bed, and clears his throat a little.]

So um. After Halloween I had these- [He tugs out the bow under his chin, and takes the hat off. As soon as he does the points of his now significantly elongated ears spring forward, resuming their natural 45 degree angle with his face.] I can wear the hat over them an stuff, but it kind of hurts when I do it for too long, and it's weird that I wear it on inside all the time. Does anyone know what else to do?

[...Wow. Things just keep getting weirder.]

I guess you could tell people they're fake, but...

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

Then they'd probably ask me to take them off.

[AND THAT WOULDN'T END WELL AT ALL.]

Re: [Video]

[darkhourdear]

I guess so. I can't really think of anything else, but I'll try.

[Wearing a beret.]

Man, if you figure it out, let me know. I'm just lucky that most LCU professors don't care about dress code.

[Luke's frown dissipates a little at the promise of a comrade in arms on this issue, and his head tilts to the side a bit in curiosity.]

Are you turning into an elf too?

[two_stones]

Not exactly.

[Lifts hat. Underneath is a pair of some sort of animal ears. Cat? Shiba? Raccoon?]

Lie.

Say you got cosmetic surgery. Medically necessary cosmetic surgery. For ear related problems.

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

[He seems to genuinely consider the idea for a moment before shaking his head.]

I don't think my Grampa would believe that.

[vetala]

You could wear a hat around him, then use the excuse as a reprieve around others.

[stagnantair]

Huh. That's pretty cool.

[Oops. Gavin, don't encourage this.]

I'm not sure what'd you say to anyone else though... Ask one of the doctors on here for help.

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

Yeah, I'll get a note for school... and Grampa hasn't seemed to mind the hat yet so.

[He sort of shrugs. It had been commented on of course, but Luke had deflected, and Declan hadn't pushed the issue. So for now he's not in any immediate danger on that end.]

You look like you're straight out of a JRPG that's hella cool!

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

[Have a slight curious ear twitch combined with a head tilt for your comment.]

What's a JRPG?

[scramasax]

[Oh, dear - a first-reported physical change... Anthony'd like to try to see what he might be able to offer in the way of words and does think that frown comes off as worried but before he goes jumping the gun wants to test for how so, exactly what of...

Voice cautiously, hesitantly restrained - ] ... -- Are you, uhm -- ...worried, Luke - ?

-- This is Anthony - ...by the way. -- I've talked to you before... [Last sentence trailing off gently - not as if he's assuming Luke would not recall but only meant to confirm his identity!]

[Video]

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

[Luke recognizes the voice, and he's actually relieved to hear it. Anthony had been really helpful and nice last time around. On top of that, he seems to have a helpful knack of getting at what Luke actually wants to say as opposed to what he's saying.

He gives a little subdued smile.

Hi, I remember you. And um. Yeah a little. I like them, but I can't really hide em either.

[voice]

[ex_elude798]

[An elf. This kid's an elf now?

Were it anywhere else he'd assume the kid glued costume ears on with the wrong kind of adhesive]

Not sure there's much else you could do that wouldn't hurt.

Video

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

[Not technically! But as far as he's aware yeah. An elf.

He gives a little huff and pouts a bit.]

That's what I was worried about.

Find a doctor to remodel them into what constitutes as "normal".

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

[Luke blinks a few times and has to reread this once or twice. Then he sort of uneasily looks around before haltingly addressing the mirror again.]

Um I'm. Ten? I don't know how to. Do that.

[Handwritten]

[dododo]

Get the tips surgically removed?

Video

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

[Luke looks none too happy with this idea and gingerly runs his fingers over the new points.]

That would hurt way more though. And I like them! They're just...noticeable.

[voice]

[boredallready]

Woah, nice! I mean, at least you could cosplay really easy now?

OH! I got it! If you have to show people, you can just tell them you're in a movie and have to wear those all the time!
