So, sending out a quick question to all my homies and newbies.

How much would you pay to hug a gigantic red panda? Use whatever currency you feel comfortable with, just tell me if it's high or low.

I may have a business opportunity in the works.

Oh! So you're Panda-san!

[Beauty was not expecting that at all--she even lifts her hands to clap a little in impressed amazement at seeing Mei turn into a giant panda right before her eyes.]

That's amazing. I've never met someone who could become so soft and fluffy like that before.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ That clap makes her giggle a bit - the same voice is coming out of the Panda. ]

It's kind of a long story, but it's something passed down in my family, blessing from the gods, yadda yadda... but anyway, it IS super fluffy and super soft!

[ Now then, nap time! She moves to flop backwards onto the blanket pile, lightly patting her tum-tum. ]

[ibarahime]

[Beauty carefully approaches Mei where she's lying down now, before slowly reaching a hand out to touch the fur from her Panda form, to feel the soft fluffiness for herself.]

How do you want me to lie down with you for our nap?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Hey, you're the "customer" - you do this however you like. I, uh... haven't really taken a nap since I was a little kid.

[ She is veryvery soft and soso fluffy. ]

[ibarahime]

[Beauty hums in thought, continuing to run a hand through the very soft and fluffy fur.]

Hmmm... would you say... you have a habit of moving in your sleep? Because if so, it might be best to make sure that you don't roll over onto me, depending on which spot I pick...

[itsgunnabe_mei]

I only do that when I have nightmares! And I haven't had any of those in a while!

[ ... And hopefully she didn't just summon one... but this should be fine! ]

[ibarahime]

Mm. Nightmares are the worst.

[So after a slow moment of thought, she seems to come to a decision: she sits down next to Mei in the blanket pile, turning so that her back is against Mei's panda side like a furry pillow to rest her upper body against.]

Is this okay?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Looks good! Here we go...

[ She puts an arm around Beauty, a makeshift one-armed hug. Maybe New Friend can use it like a body pillow! ]

All comfy? You good?

[ibarahime]

Mmhmm. This is... nice...

[There's a yawn as she proceeds to snuggle closer to Mei, moving her hands to curl around the arm hugging her close like a pillow to get comfy.]

... Good night.

[And after she says those words, her breathing goes quiet and... sure enough, it seems Sleeping Beauty has already fallen asleep in this position.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Well, it's afternoon, but... yeah, good night.

[ Who is she to argue with a customer? And... y'know what? This is pretty dang comfy. A little nap might not hurt precious study time. She yawns, closing her eyes...

And in little time, both girls are off into dreamland. Well, the dreamland of this dreamland? You get the idea. ]
