It's one of my favourite moves in a humanoid shape. It's only effective in a small handful of scenarios, but it feels fantastic when it lands.
[ It's fine. Yamada went though puberty with these powers, self-fucking is not something to judge about. He can have multiple bodies as long as they're touching, so you know, experiences have been had. ]
I thought so! It took some practice to stay in there, though.
I have yet to find pants that can be worn by all the things I can be. I've technically been naked for 20 years.

I mean, *theoretically* I can do it, I know I can spread my legs far enough apart for it...
[Given some of the pictures Delia's sent you, Yamada, have fun with that mental image]
...it's just coordinating it with a jump and enough power to be actually effective. So I'll definitely have to experiment.
Ahehehe. Yeah, sometimes the girls have a mind of their own when it comes to staying inside certain tops or outfits
[To, heh. Emphasize this statement, Yamada gets a free picture of Delia from the typical 'selfie' angle at her desk, giving a great view of her bright smile, and a fantastic view of her cleavage that has to absolutely be on purpose. She's dressed, but the blouse she's wearing at the moment is very low cut, and she's palming her left breast with her left hand.]
So it takes a little practice to keep the wrangled and containment. I won't lie, though, there has been the occasional time where they've escaped. And more than a few of those where I couldn't worry about it immediately
You know, I always found that a little funny, with shapeshifters doing that. Gods know it must be convenient sometimes, given how much space my clothes can take up, or how much trouble it can be to find the outfit I want.
It's probably a little liberating too, because truth be told, sometimes it'd just be so much easier to be naked.
[Whether it's an Orion thing, a Delia thing, or a combination thereof, Delia has little to no nudity taboo. She simply has the understanding that most people actually do. Also: Clothes are pretty and can accent one's appearance. ... Also pockets are convenient]

Babe, if you were a disembodied voice you'd still be amongst my most favourite things, even if sex was impossible.
Actually, I think I could work something out for a disembodied voice, but the point still stands!

Considering that phone sex is a thing, it wouldn't be impossible. Just different.
I'm pretty sure I like you more than I like tacos, so needless to say you're pretty high on my list, too.

Just so you know, I don't mind, but be careful about calling Moonlit magical. Some of us get upset about it. A lot of people call us cursed and stuff, there's history there.
[ Not that they're a monolith, and even if they were, Yamada hasn't been in a Moonlit community for some time. He headbutted his way out of mandatory group therapy as a teenager. ]
But no one will mind being called nonsensical. I knew someone who was a tree. Full time, not shapeshifting like me!

[ Yamada gives an exaggerated, feigned look of disapproval at Karen eating the ingredients. That's against the rules! How dare she do so in front of a chef! An amateur chef!
And then he does the same, a smile returning, before tossing a handful into the mix. His kitchen is well equipped, and the wide griddle he clanks down is ideal for multiple pancakes at once. Going through the motions helps him think as he tries to find the sweet spot between asking too much and asking too little. That she's willing to share anything gives him the feeling she's not so opposed to his sneaky little trickster worming working its magic. ]
Hmm. You get to a certain point, you can't get higher without treading on people. [ At last, it's time to start pouring the batter. The hypnotic process of glooping out little islands in just the right amounts is excellent punctuation. ] Have you noticed any patterns to the deliveries?
[ Ones that someone might go check proactively. 'Someone.' ]

[For her part, Karen looks completely unrepentant, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. The smile widens when he does the same. The end result is great, but part of the fun of home cooked food is tasting the ingredients along the way.
One of her brows arches at his follow up question. There's a look on her face that makes it clear that she knows what he's fishing for.]
Yup.
[It's the only answer that seems to be forthcoming for a moment, and she takes another sip of her coffee.]
I'm going to finish putting it together today and turn it over to a friend of mine in the police department.

[ Yamada nods his consent to swooping. He likes taking requests, be that transformations or meals. He's always been a go with the flow kind of guy and if makes them happy, why not? The relaxed attitude extends to his appreciation of Morgan's gag. He hands over the bag (it's got four, large, homemade burgers in it, plus some grill-baked potatoes with chive butter), so he can step beside the decoration.
There, Yamada squats and steeples his fingers to imitate a very specific moment in history. This is how he shows his appreciation. ]

Hell yeah.
[Morgan pumps their fist in excitement at the affirmation of swooping.
They open the container and start taking the incredible looking, and smelling, meal out before noticing the gesture. Any attempt at seriousness has long left the conversation so they simply grin and nod sagely before walking over and imitating his pose. Imitation, to a reasonable degree, is the best form of flattery is it not? At least that's how Morgan views it.]

Oh, did you think I could just do people? Here, take a peek!
[ Yamada delights at the chance to show off. He takes a moment to set up his phone for a short video. For some reason, he's on a rooftop, but that's no reason not to be a weirdo.
He starts in his default form, that scruffy-looking guy in a black and white tracksuit. He briefly pulls a double peace sign, then swings his arms with some significant force to get him twirling. He gets faster and faster until he's a black and white blur that squishes and warps, until the rotation smoothly shifts to a spiral, Yamada transformed into a huge snake, coiling around himself at the base. He spares the moment for a dramatic hiss, swaying rapidly in a snake dance that turns the writhing wriggles into a growing tree, scales expanding into textured bark, though he at least refrains from driving roots into the ceiling. The branches soon carry a single, shiny red fruit that withers up and absorbs the tree.
The red sphere goes flat with a 'spoink' sound, rolling like a falling penny, but somehow building momentum until it's back up as a replica of her shield. The points of the star suddenly jut out as blades, unfurling from the middle to 'reveal' a figure behind it, a four-armed version of his woman form, each holding one of the swords with the last in her teeth. There's just enough time for a wink before all the blades cross, the scattering flash of sparks ending the video.
Yamada could have just said 'yes, I can be a weapon' but where's the fun in that. ]

First of all, calling food bad without eating it should be crime.
Secondly, I never have a bad meal after a long day because I learned to cook to avoid that fate. This is why you can trust me when I say chocolate chicken curry is delicious.

[ In the time it takes Karen to type out that, and Yamada to read it, he's gotten to work on the hat problem. His eyebrows go up and down in a variety of ways as he reads, his hands at work. ]
I can't believe how close I got.
[ After a moment, he replies with a video clip. He's made a thimble-sized cowboy hat from fondant. He plays a perspective trick, having it right up to the camera, before pulling it back to pop it into his mouth. ]
Good for Shelly, though.

Oh, it undoubtedly is. Hybristophilia is a hell of a drug. I'll do dinner. I can't think of a crime-themed meal, though. Maybe something stripey.
Hopefully once training is done, I'll be more reliable. Or maybe the opposite? Honestly don't know. Slightly afraid to ask. I don't think Captain Mimi is ever off duty.

His eyes are their own sparkling green, a clearer and brighter than is possible naturally. The twinkle in them is both amusement from her comment and the reflection of her comet tail. Yamada holds up his glass as if making a toast. ]
Good morning, sunshine. [ And then he swigs down the water with a gulp. Considering a 'tall glass of water' joke, but it'd be just for himself. ] Rough can be pretty satisfying.

He gives it a musculature, with thin lines of lights between the segmentations, rolling colours to get it a sci-fi feel. The ring is covered in gadgets, a radar dish, a scanner, a waldo arm, all sorts. But the inside of the ring spins rapidly. The magnetic field it makes lets him slow his fall, though he is wobbly. He hasn't practiced flying in a humanoid form much.
He does his best to make it look deliberate. Splaying his limbs out and doing a roll, a wide and spiralling motion. It's fun and he's still got plenty of time to work out how he's gonna land. ]
And you look good enough I'd cross the galaxy to see more.

There's a few distant onlookers that are most certainly taking a video of the thing in the sky and the girl on fire. Not that Kori really cares, she's used to it and what he's become is far more curious anyway.
Enough that she keeps rising closer to him for a better look. On her way she does her own flip in the air, the arc of her flaming hair extending to make almost a complete circle. There's always been an inordinate amount of freedom and fun to her in the skies. ]
