Well the book says you can burn or eat that gross skin that you probably found in your bed????? But it's not a sure thing we burned Mako and Bolin's and they're still girls!!!!!!! Mako thinks that he's a girl, too. She's sure of it! Thinks I should be a girl too!!!!
Well it's Raleigh what can you expect He's probably freaking out too But it's easier to make fun of you
You're okay Chuck!! You're still you!!! Just, with a new body! We all have new weird bodies that turn into squids!!!! [ This is his attempt to make it all less terrible in his own head ]
We can fix that, Chuck!!! Come on! Let's go shopping!!!!
[ Is he just banking on his friends being more willing to go shopping now that they have girl bodies? Maybe. Is that a sexist assumption? Yep. But he's going with it, they're desperate, let him dress you, Chuck ]
[ Wu silently celebrates, and texts him he shopping district which is maybe Willful Machine, idk. He gives Chuck a lamp location too, and then hurries to get himself bundled up and ready, excited equally for shopping and to see hos his friend changed.
He's waiting by the lamp a while later, bouncing from foot to foot to stay warm. ]
[ Hnnngg.... Fine, fine. Chuck can do this. When she shows up, she's
in baggy military style pants and one of Raleigh's dumpy blue sweaters, her
read hair a mess, looking entirely disgruntled. Not much has changed. ]
[ Wu whips around to grin at him and then-- well. It's never not weird to see your friend in a new body, is it?
He takes a moment to look Chuck over. He's smaller, has a lot more hair, much less scruff on his face, but he is still Chuck. There's still that surly pout, his general demeanor, the color of his hair. Wu grins brighter and comes right up to him to wrap him in a hug because Chuck, you need to stop holing yourself away at your farm with Raleigh ]
[ Look, it's a good place to hole up and avoid the drama of Trench, okay. But yeah, he does need to get out more, he's just annoyed as hell that he looks like this, for... obvious reasons. ]
[ Chuck trails after him, clothes far too baggy for the slender
frame he's currently sporting; he has to keep yanking up his jeans so they
don't sag down around his ass and onto the street. ]
Check, check, and check! I know exactly what to do.
[ Cue the montage of Chuck going into dressing rooms and coming out and Wu shaking his head disappointedly, and then nodding emphatically, then giving him something new to try and making him pose in front of a mirror
Smash cut to Chuck, laden with bags because can you really say no to Wu, and with much lighter pockets and better fitting clothes. They are still masculine. Wu didn't try to put him into anything girly, just better fitting. Wu might adopt some of them once Chuck turns back, since they will probably fit him.
Half-skipping down the street, and entirely delighted with their shopping experience, Wu grins at him ]
I told you, buddy! You're going to look great. What does Raleigh think about this whole.... thing?

At least you look normal.

[ He squeezes Chuck tight for a long moment before letting go, looking him over ]
You really, really don't. Your hair is so long! Boy, I used to have long hair, it's so high maintenance. [ Like his overly styled hair isn't...
He hooks their arms together with a grin ] You ready?!
no subject
[ Chuck peers at Wu's hair, but eventually just chooses not to say anything. ]
Uh, yeah -- lead the way. I haven't done a lot of shopping around here.
no subject
It's all a bit dreary, but you don't seem to mind dark colors. With your hair, you look good in a green, don't you? Like me!
[ Wu leads them down the street, still smiling brightly. He's in his element, now ]
no subject
Uh, yeah -- green is my favorite color, actually.

[ They have so much in common. Wu looks him over and nods ]
Okay, pants first. Or dresses? No, probably pants.
[ Somehow he can't imagine Chuck wearing a dress no matter what. ]
no subject
God no. No dresses, absolutely not.
[ Pants and shirts that fit, yes. But Chuck will not be caught dead in a dress. ]
