>H and P, Bond with Star
Send in the clowns. You silently inform Hirose on what to do with the dress.
Or maybe it will?
<span class="mu-i">The show will start in a while.</span>
The hound dog and the actor enter the containment cell.
<span class="mu-b">The ritual circle left behind has long since burnt out.</span>
H: So! Funny magician lady. We got a magical trick to show you!
P: Hey there, sexy mama!
H: Please don't do this right now.
The anomaly turns around and points her cane at Employee P. She snaps her fingers.
ANOMALY: Do as he says. No flirting until his show is over.
Employee P <span class="mu-b">suddenly stands up straight.</span>
H: Huh?
ANOMALY: Don't worry about it. What were you going to do?
H: Right.
Employee P holds up the Arid Dress at H's command.
P: We have this mighty fine dress that we purchased. And apparently, Hiro is gonna do a magic trick with it.
H: Oh, absolutely! I'll disappear just like that when I put it on.
P: Wait, really?
H: Oh, trust me, you'll see.
ANOMALY: Uh huh. I doubt it's going to be as impressive at what the book nerd did but go ahead.
Without much hesitation, H grabs the dress from P's hands and starts to put it on. It takes some time to put it over his regular outfit.
And with a flick of his wrist, <span class="mu-b">Hirose is no longer there.</span> There stands a girl who looks similar to him, though!
The hound dog steps back when he sees this. Whatever the anomaly did to him stopped him from going full out bu-
P: What the fuck? Why are you hot now? Why are you a girl? <span class="mu-i">What the fuck???</span>
H: Oh? I was always a girl. Hirose told me he had to take a small break.
H: I hope you don't mind, sugarlips.
P: I. Wait, are you really someone else? I don't really understand anomaly things.
H: Mmh hmm. C'mon, kiss me, sugarlips.
With a lot of hesitation, Employee P gets closer to the "girl" in question, holding his arms out.
ANOMALY: Oh ho. Don't tell me.
Once the two get close and lean in, Employee H removes his dress, reverting back to his regular self.
H: HA! YOU'RE GAY!
ANOMALY: HAHA!
The anomaly claps her hands as the android instantly falls on his ass and skitters over as far away as he can.
P: WHERE'S THE HOT CHICK? SHE WAS RIGHT THERE MAN! IT'S NOT GAY TO LIKE GIRLS WHEN YOU'RE A DUDE!
H: You dipshit! It was me all along! Though I do appreciate you liking my appearance.
He brushes his hair with a spare hand.
H: I do too.
Star literally slaps her knees at this display of physical comedy. If she had a regular face, you would see tears rolling down it.
ANOMALY: Okay. Okay, that's really cool. How did you manage to do that?
H: Oh, it's some weird effect of the dress. Makes human dudes look more like chicks.
H: He certainly didn't know!
P: YEAH OF COURSE I DIDN'T! WHAT THE FUCK?
ANOMALY: Ah. Ah, that's amazing. Good job, you two. I'll give that performance a 8/10.
Employee H bows at the performer while P is still in a case of utter shellshock.
It takes H damn near dragging the startled android to get both to leave.
