Today was a slow day for Tanau. Most of the classes were shit boring, save for maybe the power classes, most of people's powers weren't lame at least. In fact, now that he thinks about it, it's been slow going ever since after he checked out the island. Probably because of the whole 'school' thing.

There had been two exceptions to this, apart from getting to tour the island for the first time (that was actually pretty fun); the video games and the Internet. Some video games were quite similar, while others, hilariously, were not (The Zega Creamcast was called Sega Dreamcast, and actually didn't become more popular than the TES, or the NES in this dimension. This character known as Mario then became the mascot of an ever growing franchise, and boy had things gone in a different direction). And the memes. Most of them were actually quite similar, though never before had he heard of a helix-shaped fossil becoming a deity. The thought of that was so absurd to him it was funny.

Fast forward to this immediate moment, with Tanau spending his time in the student lounge browsing through memes. Helix fossil memes, to be exact. But that too was getting boring. Don't get him wrong, he loves memes. He just wanted to do something else for now. But what? He started looking around for someone to bother. He was here, he was bored, he might as well talk with an actual person.
That was when he spotted a girl using a device which he assumed was a phone. He extended his neck until he could see behind her. She seemed to be aimlessly wandering the Internet too. Remaining in his current position, he uttered a single word from behind her loudly enough that she would hear it.

"Hey."

The student lounge was a lovely, relaxing place, despite the crowd. And Mizuko wasn't the type to ever mind crowds, unless they become literally suffocating, even though what she usually does shouldn't really be done in public places. She wasn't doing anything outrageous at the moment; nothing outwardly weird, nothing loud. She was just browsing through some manga on her phone, yaoi manga, which show some explicit details that aren't appropriate for a sixteen year old like her.

She didn't think anyone would ever bother to look but... apparently she was wrong.

When she heard the voice, her first reaction was a careless flinch and a high-pitched surprised noise. She dropped her phone, but it fortunately landed on her lap; unfortunately with the screen up and showing what she was reading. She quickly grabbed it and locked the screen, before turning around to the source of the voice.

She wasn't glaring or anything, but she felt like her face was melting with embarrassment for being caught reading such a material.

She's seen many different non-human creatures by now, so she wasn't struck at this person's features anymore. She was more struck at the thought that he might have seen everything. "Uh... Hi there. How much did you see?"

Tanau couldn't help but smirk at the girl's reaction. While he didn't actually see much, he caught a single glimpse. He had at least seen enough to know that what she was reading was quite lewd.

"I didn't see too much, actually. Though I wasn't aware people as young looking as you read that kind of stuff." He let out a snicker. While he spoke, he closed his laptop, stood up and walked until his body had caught up to his head's position. His neck was now it's usual size, and the rest of his body was now behind the girl.

He extended his hand to the girl for a handshake. "Putting that aside, I don't believe we've met before."
His usual shit-eating grin was replaced with a kinder one, for the sake of introduction. Besides, he didn't want to fluster her any further until he got to know her a little. She hadn't really earned his belittlement, so he decided he would take the friendly route.
"Tanau's my name. It's a pleasure."

Mizuko stared with brows slightly crooked, mouth slightly agape. A look of disbelief to mask her guilt and embarrassment. Her cheeks were undeniable red, however. "S-So what if I look young? Looks can f-fool you, you know?" She was defensively clutching her phone against her chest, while still looking cautiously. But then the guy held out a hand and introduced himself, and she felt like it was going to be very disrespectful if she didn't return the favor.

So she shook his hand, let go immediately, and while doing a very small bow she replied, "I'm Tsuushi Mizuko, Mizuko for first name."

She was pouting a little, still regarding Tanau a bit warily. She hoped he bought her excuse, but she was pretty sure he didn't. She didn't sound so believable, in her own opinion. "So... Eto... Can we forget about what you saw in my phone?"

Tanau let out a snicker in response to the girl's excuse for reading such lewd things. While very (un)convincing, he wasn't buying that at all. This girl had to be in her mid-teens at the most. Even if she was older, she looked unnaturally young for her age. At least in Tanau's opinion. But he wouldn't make a fuss over it. He was cool to comply with Muzuko's suggestion/plead for mercy.
"Sure. Consider it forgotten."

To comply with her wishes, he needed to shift to another topic of conversation. After taking a moment to think, he came up with something. "I've noticed in my short time here that people often talk about their powers here. Which makes me curious; what are yours, if you have any?"

There was still that suspicious stare on her face, wrinkles above her nose, but Mizuko slowly eased up and brought her both hands down to her sides. This guy wasn't convinced, as she expected, but at least he's agreed to drop the topic.

He was a nice person, she thought, for changing the topic immediately. She offered him a small smile before responding, "I... read thoughts and dreams. And record them in chips as videos." She would show him what she meant, but putting her or Tanau's latest thoughts meant immortalizing the embarrassment of getting caught while reading yaoi. She wasn't all that willing to do that.

She took a moment to get a good look at her new acquaintance. She'd love to hear about his powers, too, though she already had an idea about it. "What about you, Tanau-san? I assume you're a... shapeshifter?" She's watched enough Adventure Time to know how shapeshifting was, but she wasn't all that sure. After all, this was the real world.

Tanau's shit-eating grin was back in all its glory. Well, mostly. Instead of his usual condescending smirk, his face more closely resembled that of a cocky child, eager to show off his powers and impress everyone. Admittedly, this was his favourite part of this conversation so far. While his power was a trait of his species, other people sure seemed to be impressed by it.

"You got it! I'm a shapeshifter. I can pretty much shape my body into whatever I want." To demonstrate, he shifted and hardened his hand into a blade, making a point to include cool dragon-shaped indents. It would feel like a real metal blade if she touched it. In the other hand, he transformed his index finger into a key.

"Waah... That's amazing!" Mizuko practically zoomed in on Tanau's hand as it turned into a blade. And yes, she'd hold it, and realize that it was as hard, and probably as sharp (she won't touch the pointed part of course), as the real thing. Her eyes were glittering with amazement, her embarrassment just a moment ago instantly forgotten. The dragon-isque designs were what attracted her most. She believed one needed talent to create such intricate designs.

She also turned to the key, holding it up a little to get a closer look, before looking back at Tanau's face. "Cool. Really cool, right there," she remarked. She didn't mind knowing that her new acquaintance was showing off, she'd let him as much as he wanted to.

"Heh, if you like that, check this out." Tanau changed the key shape in his hand back to normal. He rolled up his sleeve, and proceeded to transform his forearm and hand into a circular shield. The shield was ornamented with various intricate patterns, which included the dragon markings on his other 'arm' that was still a blade, as well as two markings each depicting a creature that was goat-like on the top and fish-like on the bottom, facing each other near the center of the shield.

That took the Japanese girl by surprise, and her instant reaction was to step back. Of course, that didn't mean she wasn't amazed-- she was absolutely impressed, to the point that she felt the need to suppress her reaction. She couldn't stop what her eyes wanted to show though. Wider, they easily revealed how her pupils dilated at the sight.

"Wow... Tanau-san, where did you learn these designs?" she said, leaning just slightly closer to the armor. Her right hand would stroke the etches unconsciously, before letting go again.

She put her phone inside her pocket, before turning her head to a window. It was a lovely day outside. "Say, can you show me more outside? If we're not careful here, your hands might hit something fragile."
