We looked at her expecting an answer, “It wouldn’t be fun if I told you, when the moment came where you are going to fight a titan you will see” She picked up some of her things, and walked to the door, “well gentleman I will take my leave now, there’s food in the “cooling metallic thing” in the kitchen, pick the clothes you want and remember to eat, come by my office tomorrow at five, see you tomorrow” she waved and let herself out we stood in silence for a moment until Higen dove into the racks of clothes and started to pick random things, “you have to tell me if it looks good on me Ozwald, and be honest.”
He picked me up and placed me on the sofa “Do I have a choice?” he laughed and smiled “No” he answered and started to strip “I thought we had this conversation before Higen” he stopped for a second “Come on I´ll keep my underwear on I don’t want to pick something go to my room and return, plus there’s a mirror right there” “fine knock yourself out” he changed outfits for a while “how is this one?” “Like the pants, love the boots, you need to figure out the top” he took something marked as “t-shirt” from the rack, it went with the pants, and he finished the outfit with a “cap” “How do I look, do I look normal?” I give it two thumbs up “I think is missing something, but we can figure that one later.
“okey I think I figured out this style thing” The truth is that he didn’t fully, I gave him my opinion, especially when he tried to put on an animal costume as day-to-day clothing, but he kept it for his “pajamas” he picked things tagged as “sporty” and “casual” I spotted what he was missing but I got an idea and hide it under more clothes, he picked me up and put me near the clothes and sat down, “all right Ozwald your turn” “hehe no way!” “Come on Ozwald, I want to help you too” It did look like fun plus all I have to do is not show my back, “fine but if I say turn you turn” he nodded, and I started to pick clothes up.
The clothing was interesting, the person that made it must have been a professional, their needlework was very good, I did spot a few mistakes here and there, but I didn’t get picky, “okay you can look now” “… it looks too big on you it also doesn’t say Ozwald, how about the ones that are tagged “punk”?” I looked at that section, and I was pleasantly surprised I picked up a pair of pants with some tears on the knees, a t-shirt with a star-themed logo, and a black and red shirt I wore over the t-shirt, “Thoughts?’” “That looks cool on you!!!” “Great I think I´ll keep the “punk” and “streetwear” tags if that’s okay with you,” I told him, “Yes… although I” he extended his hand toward a second animal costume “I’m not keeping the other animal costume!” he was disappointed but understood.
After putting our new clothes in our closet we prepared some of the food Lulu left us in the “freezer” it was honestly good, so we picked something called “frozen pizza” The first attempt was not that good we left it in the stove for far too long and it ended up charred black, o our second try I was more focused and we managed to make it right, “this is amazing it was so fast to make, humans sure eat well” “yeah but it thinks we should get some rest, after all, we just crossed a dimension and got our blood taken” I yawned and finished my meal.
I woke up around six in the morning, normally I would start training but this apartment does not possess enough space to train, so I just started on physical conditioning, pushups, sit-ups, and squats as I was about to finish my first set I heard a loud bang and groaning from Ozwald´s room, I knocked on his door, “Ozwald are you okay? I knocked on the door instead of barging in like you requested!” “The door is open you can come in!” he answered, so I let myself in, and saw him on the ground rubbing his head with one hand while the other was holding the staff.
“What exactly happened here?” “I woke up earlier and well I try to practice the divine words…” he started to recount, “I took a pin from my sewing kit and pulled the staff put, at first it was going well I said “float” with determination and I started to float up then down, but…” he was a little bit embarrassed, “when I went down I said “float” again to make something else float and I was jetted upwards into the ceiling” I nodded “okay why don’t you try it again?” he closed his eyes and concentrated, the staff started to glow with a pale light, “float!” he said and a tiny stuffed green frog doll appeared near his feet.
I picked it up “Aww new friend!” “Not funny! I can’t figure this out” I placed the frog on my head “Oh why don’t you try another word for a float? Maybe you can’t use the same word twice” he nodded and thought “Levitate… him!” my feet stop felling the floor as a pail green light surrounded me for a moment I was floating in the air near the roof, but the frog despaired in a puff of green smoke “this is interesting I’m going to have to keep track of which words I use daily” Ozwald said and grabbed a notepad on his table and wrote down which words he had use today.
After a few minutes I was gently back down on the floor, Oswald’s nails had turned black again, we took something for breakfast and started to get ready for the first day in the human realm after the staff was sucked back into Ozwald´s chest we made a last checklist to see if we were ready, “shower?” he asked “done” “bags?” “Filled with a “plastic” bottle of water and an apple” “List of our objectives?” I showed him my cellphone “I figured last night that the app with the pencil was to take notes” “Aww look at you been smart once in a while” I took offence but jabbed him on the side with my finger “At least I didn’t hit the ceiling today” whit everything ready we embarked on our first trip to the city.
Our way to the Mall was a bumpy one, the map indicated where we should go, we took our time to get used to the city of Merrionette Park and also we were stunned by the sights, fountains, art that was found on the walls, and people to help, I had to stop several times to help someone in need, through that we learned about crossing the streets, a nice old lady asked me if I could help her with that when she noticed me and Ozwald were not form the city she told of about some good places for eating, “we took forty extra minutes for that Higen!” Ozwald complained, we used the card Lulu gave us to buy some drinks they were very sweet and had many bubbles on them the words “Dr. Peter” were on the side he is truly a genius.
“But we got here in the end, right? So, less complaining more getting our things” We were to buy things to decorate our rooms to give them a sense of home Oswald and I were looking at some stores thinking about with to get “Oh my god!” Oswald pressed his face against a window in a store he was looking at what I can only describe as a modern loom I haven’t seen him this excited only about very little things “Do you want to get your modern loom?” I asked, he nodded so we entered to see what this store has to offer.
