windandwaterShinji: [shoving his bag into a drawer] Well, I'm all done.
Makoto: [looks up from where he's buried under the pile of things on his bed]: You call that unpacked, Shinji-kun? What about hanging up things.
Shinji: I'm not like *you*, Yukino. I don't sweat the small stuff. I'm gonna take a look around this place.
Makoto: But, Shinji-kun...! I'm not done yet!
Shinji: I didn't say I was going with you. Hoshino's probably putting everything away herself, I don't want Mai at my heels like a terrier, and I couldn't care less what Seino is doing. I'll explore by myself.
Makoto: Shinji-kun!
[Shinji ignores Makoto's whine and slams the door behind him. After a few minutes of walking, he realizes what a bad idea it is to wander around aimlessly. Now he's lost.]
Shinji: Dammit. Now where am I? [takes a corner blindly and slams into someone. Both people fall to the ground, swearing] Godammit! Watch where you're going!
Duo: You're the one who ran into *me*, buddy! [blinks] Hey, I haven't seen you around before. What are you from?
Shinji: [looking down as he dusts off his pants] I'm Kazeno Shinji. I'm from the UFF-O wing.
Duo: Oh! An original character, huh? Sweet. I think I remember Celeste screaming something about newbies.
Shinji: And who are you? [finally looks up and *stares*]
Duo: [who, btw, is dressed in tight leather pants and a black v-neck shirt] I'm Duo Maxwell! You're pretty far from the Original's Wing. You're in the anime Muse wing. I'm from GW.
Shinji: I think Mai mentioned something about you guys... pretty boys? Fly big robots?
Duo: GUNDAMS! They're Gundams! *NOT* big robots. Jeeze! So are you lost or what?
Shinji: I suppose. I was scoping the place out.
Duo: That's a pretty bad thing to do if you're new. You could get lost, hurt, dismembered...
Shinji: DISMEMBERED?!
Duo: Only if you head into the wrong areas. Come on, why don't you kick it with me? I'll fill ya in.
Shinji: [shrugs]
Duo: [takes this as an affirmative to start monologuing] See, us G-boyz, here anyway, are on a sort of revolving schedule.
Shinji: What do you mean?
Duo: Well... the Creator -- and you'll hardly ever see her around here -- has this tendency to create fics that don't flow into a single continunuity. So, she generally has different "versions" of her characters, to fit the fic. Have you come across that with your group, or all you all stable?
Shinji: [thinks] Well, that Sera girl did mention something about an S&M!Makoto... :::shudders:::
Duo: [nods] Exactly. Since the Creator always has more than one fic in play, we tend to spin between different versions of ourselves. There's a Rule in Castle Anthrax: No more than ONE incarnation of anyone allowed. It's like all of us here have MPD. It scares a lot of newbies, but you'll get used to it. [enters through a Gundanium reinforced door and into a common area]
Shinji: [looks around the room, where Heero, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei are all occupied with various things] So which, uh, Duo are you?
Duo: Oh, well... I'm the slut!Duo. I really hate the name... I'm not really a slut, I'm just written that way. That's the songfic!Heero, RFO!Trowa, angst!Wufei, and non-PWP!Quatre... You've gotta watch out for Q-babe... The Creator is obsessing over his fic right now.
Shinji: That's not good?
Duo: [shakes head] Not in this case. She's seeing how crazy she can make him.
non-PWP!Quatre: [sees Duo and immediately bounces over] Duo! There you are! Who is this? A new friend?
Duo: Yeah. Guys, this is Shinji. He's an Original Muse. Play nice.
Wufei: [approaches the group of boys and trying to inch his way into standing closer to Duo] You are new here? I suppose Duo has managed to give you some useful information while he occupied your time? If not, you'll have to remember that if you see *any* Duo-Muse with his hair down, you need to run away as fast as you can.
Shinji: [gulps and eyes Duo's braid] Uh... why?
Heero: [from the table where he's going over Preventer's reports] Because *any* Duo-Muse with loose hair is a bad sign.
Trowa: [idly twirling a wrench in his hands] The Creator *adores* Duo. When she drives him insane, she likes to have his hair loose. She considers it symbolic and primal.
Shinji: Insane?! So if I see Duo with his hair down it means he's *insane*?!
Wufei: Or horny. Either way, you should run. [slightly threatening tone] It'll be safer for you.
Duo: [laughs] Wu! If I didn't know you any better, I'd think you were jealous!
Wufei: [blushes slightly]
Quatre: [frowns] But there's *nothing* to be jealous of! Right, Duo? I mean, *I've* never seen you with your hair down! [tries to get in between Wufei and Duo without being tOo obvious]
Shinji: [blinks. The light turns on his head and he backs away slowly] OH! Oh my god... you're yaoi muses, aren't you?
[everyone looks at him]
Duo: Well... yeah. Aren't you one, too?
Shinji: [sputtering] I...! NO! I'm not... I mean, I never...! I... I...!
Makoto: [coming out of nowhere and glomping Shinji] Shinji-kun! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!
Shinji: GAH!
Makoto: [looks up from where he's buried under the pile of things on his bed]: You call that unpacked, Shinji-kun? What about hanging up things.
Shinji: I'm not like *you*, Yukino. I don't sweat the small stuff. I'm gonna take a look around this place.
