—Clay will play the “chase him down” role

—but also consider Clay giving Calidi a motive not to get up: “if you don’t stand up I’ll cuddle with you”

—after the angst Clay is super cautious in the public modern sect because he knows how quickly verbal confrontations can turn physical [ex. Bennet and Hester] and he 100% cannot let Calidi get hurt

—if anything happened to Calidi that he feels he could have prevented [which would be everything] he’d never forgive himself

—he also stresses “only come out if you feel safe”

—he’d forgotten about that nasty part of the modern sect [and parts of the medieval sect probably, though it seems mostly accepting] and he’s really shaken about it

—the particularly bad days make me :((((((((( —it’s a sad moof 😞

—Clay’s response to that would be lots of hugs and verbal reaffirmation of gender [saying “baby girl” and similar stuff]

—your mention of bex and Trin did give me an idea though

—for the record Bex and Calidi would probably get along surface-level, mostly because Bex is aggressively friendly to almost everyone

—So Bex would be nice to Calidi and like “yay another genderfluid!!!!!”

—But tbh I think Bex might scare Calidi a little bc they act a hyperactive toddler with a machine gun sometimes

—Trin however, is the calm one, so they and Calidi would connect better

—anyhow, to the idea!

—after a couple of Calidi’s bad days, Clay has an “aha!” moment and yeets off to find Trin

—the twins are illusionists, which is really the next-best thing to shapeshifting, because an illusionist can make everyone think you’re a bird and you think you’re a bird until you try to fly and it doesn’t work

—[so get illusioned into a flightless bird]

—the quality of the illusion [how clear it is, whether you can touch/taste/hear/smell it, how long it stays] depends on the skill of the illusionist

—Bex and Trin are both very good; Bex’s illusions stimulate all five senses and the only one Trin is missing is taste

—both of them have to be good, since they use illusions for their own appearances sometimes

—So Clay goes to find Trin and explains the situation

—presumably Trin and Calidi have already met, but it works too if they haven’t

—Trin’s like “of course I’ll help a fellow genderfluid out” since at this point casting illusions takes almost zero effort

—also they’re trying to make friends bc after the Percy fiasco they don’t really have anyone outside of Bex

—So they visit Calidi and Trin puts an illusion enchantment on the red [or whatever colour signifies female; I used to use red whenever I colour coded anything bc pink was eh] beads of Calidi’s necklace

—so whenever Calidi puts the red beads on, the illusion takes hold and makes them appear to be fem!Calidi

—they look/sound/feel/smell like female Calidi and I highly doubt anyone will be tasting them so,,,,it works

—and Trin can take the enchantment off when Calidi can shapeshift again
