[u]"...You can...change your own gender?"[/u] [i]Irina's eyes widened, as if she was very, very confused about the situation.[/i] [u]"...HOLD ON. THAT'S...what?! How is that...I mean, I've never met...What?!"[/u] [i]In short, she was too confused to even form a proper sentence; Irina didn't exactly know of what a transgender was, much less a herm, so she was heavily confused as Quincy suddenly turned into a female.[/i]

He/she laughed. "Ok, so im not technically female right now. Did i ever get to tell you how I became...well, me?" She crossed her arms, waiting for her response, chuckling to herself.

[u]"No, you haven't. So why the...w-what?"[/u] [i]Irina was beyond confused at this point - because when the guy you were just chatting with suddenly grew breasts, people panicked, especially Irina because she had no idea about herms.[/i]

"Ok, ill give you the short version. Back way when, a long time ago sometime, i was on earth. I used to be a normal, average, non-interesting arctic fox. Then one day i got kid-napped by some scientists and they made me into something else. That something else being an anthropoorphic hermaphrodite, or herm, for short. Their original purpose for me was for me to..well..make more little me's if you get the idea. One day, conveniently after all their tests had been concluded, something bad happened there and i escaped. While i was there, they did something to me that allows me to...uh, how to i put this, change gender at will? Yeah, thats it. Every winter i'll go into heat for a few weeks or something and im stuck as female for that time. Make sense?"

[u]"...Yeah. Sure."[/u] [i]Irina still didn't understand the entire thing, although she acted like she did. Well, she understood some of it - she was still confused about the entire matter.[/i] [u]"Wonder if a human could do that...huh."[/u]
