(AN: I meant for Joe to be the one to say how unappealing the hotel looked. Oh well.)
What were a teenage cat girl, and a parody of one of Japan's biggest franchises doing in a hotel room together? This perfectly logical question
caused both of them to have headaches as their lives in the human world refused to simply fade away as long as their lives as their toon selves
weren't really congealed. Truth 'make sense' and 'toon' shouldn't really go together, but anime settings were slightly more often than not
logical within their own setting.
Tom turing into an mini-mecha robot, and Lisa into a Nekomimi, stereotypes that weren't normally associated with each other left a jarring
effect on their changes, normally such cliches were meant to compliment each other, but here they were only clashing.
Rin held her head feeling a headache coming on as she wondered how she had a micro-mecha war machines as a son. Was she a gadgeteer
genius in her spare time? Did she find him mysteriously abandoned? Did she repair him after she saw him for the first time fighting some
strange alien monster and lost all his previous memories when she booted him up the wrong way?
The drink had been sold by a toon in the Tex Avery District, and drank there, but there effects hadn't turned onto until they reached anime
town. The two conflicting styles were causing 'glitches.'
Tom, now Ijen, was also feeling confused, he knew Rin was his mother, but his own memories were confusing, Tom's experience with anime
had been limited to badly dubbed and heavily censored syndications, and this reflected on his inner toon as his memories were made up of
people being 'blow up to another dimension' and people being 'destroyed' and the enemy's guards and troops always being 'androids.' And of
course all saki became spring water and sushi rolls became donuts in his mind.
Lisa's inexperience with anime actually helped her, with no preconceptions, her change flowed natural through her.
Joe meanwhile, looked at his wife and child in alarm and confusion! The brochure hadn't mentioned anything like this! Wasn't everything in
Toon World supposed to be temporarily? He had never seen or heard of anything this distracted!
Joe didn't have much more time to think this over as his body was covered in sparkles, and the rest of the world seemed to become a swirl of
colors and his clothes vanished in a flash of rainbow lights. He covered himself, but he felt like dancing and he manhood inverted itself, his
body meanwhile shrinking and hair vanishing, his body taking on the same tones and design as his wife, though he remained fully human. His
dark hair turned blond and his eyes green and his skin got an ever so slight slight tan. Years reversed on him as his body became rounder and
shorter, stopping at tween age years. His hair also grew longer, stopping at neck length. Two tiny hair bangs grew foreword on either side of
her face defying gravity. Finally, a white and blue dress formed around her, with a big red jewel in the center of her blouse and small jewels on
her cuffs. Finally a dark blue staff with a onion sized pearl formed in her hands and the rest of the world returned to normal.
"Whao what a trip." She said, speaking in Japanese now like everyone else in the room. She felt the powerful wave of confusion that Rin and Ijen
did as well. Her name was Junk Takeda. She was twelve years old. She was Japanese. She was a resident of Anime Town. That much she knew
for certain. The rest was a confusing mess in her head and as she looked at the other two odd characters in the room, she could tell they were
confused too.
The cyber armed ninja girl in the reception room saw a crystal flash behind the desk and then show a hotel room number. She smiled at people
deciding to become toons and embrace a new existence here. But a warning light flashed. That was no good. Reality was having a hard time
reconciling with them. This happened more often with groups than single people. She made some quick calls, found no one else was available.
"Typical," she sighed and ninja teleported outside the hotel room in the hotel castle of clashing medieval style and futuristic tech.
She politely knocked on the door, waited a moment and used her skeleton ID card to let herself in. A magical girl. A cat girl. And a chibi-
Gundam. She sighed again. "What a mess." She muttered.
