Noire turns pale for a moment when she actually realizes what the problem was. When Alexa sits down to hug her, she pulls her in close, hugging her... maybe a little possessively. "Hey, it's not my head that's getting screwed with. I'll be okay. Ish. C'mon, babe..."
She gives Melissa a short glare over the top of Alexa's head... are her eyes actually sparking? "Hey, Doc? I know this isn't big news for you but can you knock it off until she isn't freaking out?" She doesn't... entirely disagree on the "appallingly cutesy" part, admittedly, but jokes don't always work in this situation.
... Though, in an undertone, she adds, "I think you're supposed to be saying that to me, not the universe."

"I mean they already changed you into a girl, I haven't been messed with yet. And I know it'll be ok, I'm just annoyed this keeps happening to everyone without warning. And that the universe is trying to fight my memories to 'make it right' or whatever."
She looks over to Melissa.
"Yes, even to you. Also... yeah we are a cute matched couple, thanks."
She said that last part a little fast like she didn't want to admit the doc was right.
Alexa does give an almost inaudible 'eep' at the last bit, and blushes, burying her face in Noire's body.

Yue claps her hands. "Okay, let's all calm down and take a deep breath."

A Minun!Alexa crochet plush appears sitting perfectly between Plusle!Alexa's new pika-clone ears. Did Nue know this was going to happen? If so, how? If not, how'd she hand-craft this so fast?! Who knows!

Alexa does take a breath at Yue's insistance, and then a cute plush appears on her head.
"Ohhh it's adora- OH WAIT NUE DON'T VANISH! Did you ever make one of me before I changed? Can I get that so that way there's some evidence of what I vaguely look like? In case I need to fix this myself?"

Noire actually does take a deep breath... though it's probably most noticeable to Alexa. Having actual lung capacity is still kind of weird. If they ever do get the world back to normal, she wonders if she can convince Melissa to recreate that surgery.
She lets out a surprised little laugh when the plush appears. "Looks like our Sewing Ninja is on the case, huh?" That is... more participation in the emotional side than she thinks she's seen Nue do before, at least for anybody besides Yue. She finds herself wondering if Nue is starting to unfreeze a little.

"If you want to fix this, I could look into solutions. I haven't bothered so far, because I don't really care about my change, but I could. It's not genetic, which means there are a few avenues open that wouldn't otherwise be... unfortunately, I don't have a solution to the memory issue. That's just going to have to be added on to our list of grievances to settle with the universe."

"Oh! I have one of them!" Yue says, handing Alexa a plushies version of her human self.

"Oh cool, thanks Yue."
Yue can't quite put her finger on it, but Alexa 'seems' to be calmer talking to her. Normally Alexa is rolling her eyes at Yue's antics like jumping through a window, but now seems a lot warmer to her.
She looks over to Melissa.
"I mean I'm ok with what I look like, more concerned it's happening at all without input of any of us. Or if any more changes are coming. And as much I don't mind having Noire such a cutie now, she was a cutie as a boy and I'm pretty sure would be happy to be back in that body. So I'm more concerned about Noire than myself."

While everyone is distracted, a Pulsle!Noire plush appears in Minun!Noire's lap. This is followed closely by a similar plush with purple ears/tail that looks eerily like what one may expect a child of Noire and Alexa to look like. This plush is even half their size!

Stella wakes up with a start. She could hear a commotion outside! Yes! It must be ..! Throwing on her clothes and hairpin asap she hurries out, throws a glance at the strange Noire/Alexia scene, and rushes to the front door. Yes! Presentssssssssssss!!!!
Once she has collected them - and herself - she wanders in again to see what all the other huff-puff was about. Hmm yes. Her eyes bounced between the plushies and the people. They were definitely different from yesterday.

Alexa coughs and hides the child plush away. She'll just bring that back out at a future date.

Noire is pale enough that it's pretty noticeable when she realizes what the purple-eared plush represents and turns red for a moment.
"A-anyway, uh. Honestly, I'd like to get back to being a guy at some point but we've kinda got other stuff going on. Besides, Alexa's got point about not knowing where it's coming from - not a whole lot of point trying to fix it until we know it's gonna stop." She puffs out a sigh, mildly thankful that she doesn't seem to have gotten Minum cheek patches, too. "Anyway, I'd kinda like to get dressed at some point. We were gonna head for Fuschia today, right? Check out Doc's old lab? Kinda hard to do that in my pajamas."

They were going to Fuschia. "*Nod*" To check out Science Lady's lab. "*Nod*" Hard to do in a pajamas? "Hmm..." Inconclusive.

A sticky note appears on Yue's forehead.
"Going to Mt. Moon. Gonna find a Sneasel. Have fun in Fuschia!"

Given some time to prep, the group sets off south. They find themselves, as Nue had reported, in Mistralton city, complete with airport. It's... just as off putting as Goldenrod to see this city there.
As they enter and get their bearings, they see a familiar face get off the bus! It's that spooky ghost girl, Svetlana! *Cue laughter*

Yue, not to be ignored, runs over to Svetlana. "Heya, Lana! What'cha doin'?"

Svetlana wipes her face of a displeased expression and turns to Yue. "Who are you and why are you speaking to me?" She questions, pretending not to remember Yue.

"I'm Yue! And I'm speaking to you because I think you're cool! It's okay if you don't remember me. You don't seem like the type to care much about other people, after all." Yue says with a shrug, rolling with it.
