Jin’s golden eyes opened slowly, his vision unusually blurry. The bot brought a hand up to his face, rubbing away the buzzy feeling he usually felt after being shut off without the proper procedure. He paused mid rub, bringing up his other hand and feeling his face a little more carefully. There was something...off about it. Nothing too serious, like an extra eye or a snout or anything, however it unsettled him quite a bit. To make things even stranger, his hair seemed to have grown to miraculous length, spilling over the edge of the small bed in dark layers. The odd scene, coupled with his inability to remember anything after coming to the Braginsky estate for a ‘playdate’, only succeeded in increasing his worry.
He looked around the room he was in, noting that he was lying down on white bed with heavy sheets. There was another figure in a second bed to his left, though Jin didn’t recognise their face. There was something very familiar about them, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
Jin’s gaze travelled down to his sheets, noticing two odd lumps that seemed to be settled underneath, right where his chest was. Confused and slightly concerned, the bot flung the white covers from his (apparently, naked) form and just stared, dumbfounded at what lied underneath.
...Were those...udders?
He narrowed his eyes and pushed himself (or rather, herself) from the bed, ready to give a certain Korean a well deserved punch in the nuts and bolts. Honestly, Arthur had been very clear about what sort of modifications Yong Soo was allowed to test, and Jin was certain that turning him into a cow wasn’t on the list. However, unprepared for the extra weight on her chest, Jin fell forward with a squeal, knocking over a nearby flower arrangement and sending it to the floor with a loud crash. |

Allie had no idea what had happened but as she slowly restarted, she realized that she hadn’t been shut down properly. Well, that was quite strange. She had never run out of power before and she was pretty sure that Ivan hadn’t suddenly decided to turn her off, so why did she feel so strange?
Before Allie could really go into a deeper thought process, a loud crash jolted her completely awake and she sat up, staring at the strange, naked bot in the room. Well, that certainly was odd. She didn’t remember anyone buying an Asian female bot, though her face did look similar…
“Jin?”
At her own voice, Allie’s worries about her friend completely vanished when she realized that her voicebox had been altered and she sounded more… masculine. Looking down at herself, she first noticed that she was just as naked as Jin and that there was a very obvious lack of breasts on her chest. Confused, she – well, he now – lifted the blankets and promptly screamed.

“Oww,” Jin groaned, rubbing her back. She paused upon hearing her voice – it had always been rather high for someone of his (her) age, though the way it sounded now was just ridiculous. She grabbed at her throat, and felt around for any cuts – leave it to Yong Soo to leave no trace of his dirty work. Jin’s attention turned to the unknown figure who had called his name before screaming like a little girl. Urgh.
“Who are you?” she snapped, staggering to her feet and shamelessly placing both hands on her hips...which, oddly enough, were exactly the same shape and size. Go figure.
Jin stared at the blond before her eyes widened in realisation, glancing at a pile of clothes lying at the foot of the other bed. She recognised that dress...
“...Miss Allie?”
Er. Mister? |

All the while unaware of any strange experiments going on within his beloved penthouse, Ivan happily had been sleeping in his bedroom, the door locked to all but his bots as they had both been issued keys. He knew that Jin had been brought over for some reason or another and he decided not to question it, not minding the young bot's presence so long as he didn't do anything terribly disruptive or cause harm to his own bots. Ivan wasn't easy to anger normally. One generally had to work for it by touching his tea, making a mistake in the D.E.R.P. (something generally only the bots he employed there did), or by harming his family (currently consisting of Yong Soo and Allison). He wasn't too partial to people hurting Francis or Arthur, but they were big boys and could generally take care of themselves.
At ease, his sleep was peaceful. Little did he know what nonsense and potential chaos had just awoken within his little kingdom. The only reality that he was privy to at the moment was the bizarre land of dreams that he visited when loud snores filled the room. |

Things have been going downhill since that fateful day Kiku was sold and he still spent a great amount of his time wondering if losing his job as a demo-bot was a good thing or a bad thing.
Considering the unfortunate circumstances that tended to revolve around his new "owner" and his acquaintances.
From his comfortable little display window Kiku had become a tenant at an Englishman's (apparently another unfortunate friend of his "master") pantry. Other days he was left in a small nameless closet in his master's living quarters.
Wherever that is.
A rather unmanly scream pierced through the previous silence and dragged the Asian bot from his self-deprecating thoughts.
"What was that?" he thought out loud, as he stood from his previous position on the floor of his dark little closet. Rather than sit there and continue pretending to be Harry Potter, Kiku decided to follow the noise just to make sure nobody was hurt or needed help.
Quietly, he crept through the rooms of the unfamiliar building until he found himself standing on the opposite side of one door, where the noise was coming from. Hesitantly, he grasped the door's handle and turned it to step inside.
"Anou, pardon me but I think I might have heard someone scream from in he-" he froze midway through his speech and stared, aghast, at the sight that was before him.
God, was it normal for youngsters to be walking around n-naked like that nowadays?!
WARNING! The system has encountered a fatal error: starting reinitialization process . . .
Kiku's thought processors inevitably stalled and the dark-haired Asian froze like that, with one hand still holding the door half open and the other held up to prevent the red oil slowly trickling down his pale, horrified face from staining the ground.
I've been kindly told I could drop in. Hope you don't mind if I do. ^^; |

Humming to himself, Yong Soo balanced a large bag of Chinese takeout in one arm and he tried to stab the key into the door. He had brought a bit much, and was struggling not to drop it all over the hallway, but Allie wouldn’t be able to cook for a while with his new enhancements. Not to mention that Ivan rarely made anything but tea by himself these days. They would need something to keep them full and fed.
Not to mention he had a craving for greasy sweet and sour pork that refused to be ignored.
It would be perfectly fine, Yong soo had told himself. Jin and Allie wouldn’t be waking up at least another hour or three. Kiku had been placed in his closet, told to be quiet and not to alert Ivan to his presence. It was a full proof plan.
Finally managing to open the door without upsetting the bag, Yong Soo set the meal down on the kitchen counter and walked to his room. He would have kept everything in the Evil Lair, but there was too much of a chance of Ivan discovering his work before it was done.
Yong Soo sighed upon opening the door that housed the other three bots in the house. “Kiku, we really need to work on this glitch of yours.” He shook his head, performing a soft reboot and getting a few tissues for the oil spill.
Once that was done, the Korean dusted off his hands and finally turned his attention to his two slightly panicked test subjects. “So, Jin, Allie, how are you guys liking the new upgrades?”

Allie clung to the blankets and stood up, walking over to Jin. “Y-Yeah, it’s me… Except… I look different.” She fidgeted and dumped the blankets on the bed, showing Jin her new body. It felt so strange and looked so different and she was going to seriously kill Yong Soo for doing this to her.
What if Ivan didn’t like the way she looked now? What if he didn’t want another male bot because he already had Yong Soo? Worried, she was about to ask Jin what she should do when the door opened and Yong Soo’s new bot friend stepped in. She turned to him, about to ask what he wanted when he seemed to… freeze up? It was quite strange but then again, everything happening today was quite strange.
If that wasn't bad enough, Yong Soo showed up at that moment and she actually glared at him. "WHY DO I HAVE SOME WEIRD THING BETWEEN MY LEGS?" She yelled, pointing at her new appendage.

Jin’s eye twitched upon seeing Allison’s (Al’s?) new attachment, wondering why it was so much bigger than the one he used to have. Then, her priorities kicked in and she gave the blond a sympathetic look.
“No worries, it’s probably reversible,” she said hopefully.
And if it wasn’t, well, she’d have to find a new use for that meat cleaver she had, wouldn’t she? Jin looked around for her phone, wondering if there could be a lawsuit pulled out of this fiasco, Yong Soo having violated a binding contract and all that. However, the charges would be placed on Ivan, and then Al(lison) would probably destroy her with his new power penis and it would be awfully messy and awkward and oh...
Hearing a familiar voice, Jin turned around, seeing Kiku. She turned to him fully, completely oblivious to the social graces required with ‘udders’, and moved to ask a question when he seemed to...break? Red liquid began spurting from his nose, and Jin could only watch with a blank look as the third bot made a strange buzzing sound.
She was about to turn back to Allie when Jin heard another voice, her irritation rising. When she saws who it was however, irritation turned to (justified) rage.
“You,” she said, shoving past the sparking Kiku to get at the Korean – her resolve faltered a bit when she noticed he was even taller than before. “What the hell are these,” she gestured at her chest, “where’s me other thing,” a vague point downwards, “and why does Miss Allie look like Captain bloody America?” |

"My apologie-" Kiku began to say as soon as his processors caught up to what just happened but he was cut off by the young, er, female bot's outburst at the newcomer.
Thankfully he had the sense to direct his gaze elsewhere this time because he wasn't willing to risk another system failure just seconds after someone had graciously gone through the trouble of rebooting him.
This glitch, though reasonably containable and triggered seldom enough, was the main reason behind the Asian bot's reluctance to part with his manufacturers and he could only be thankful for the patience of the individuals who have dealt with it thus far.
"I came here when I heard someone yell. I thought there might have been a problem," he explained his reason for not following Yong Soo's earlier instructions.
Meekly standing to the side and holding up a tissue to wipe away the remaining oil on his skin, Kiku bowed in apology to the trio (whether or not the action would go unnoticed did not matter, his programming dictated he act with proper respect anyway), making sure to avoid a repeat of his initial shock by purposefully keeping his eyes closed.
He stood up straight once more and awaited the conclusion of the female's (he finally recognized her as Jin with a few obvious differences) confrontation. |

“It’s fine Kiku. I haven’t really had a chance to get around and try and fix it.” he pat the Japanese bot’s shoulder. “I see. So you came out because you were worried. I guess that’s fine. But stay in my room until I say different, alright? Ivan’s sleeping right now but he could wake up at any time. Sooo if you hear him getting up and about, you gotta like dive under the bed so he can’t see you, okay? Okay.”
Once Kiku was dealt with, Yong Soo finally turned his attention back to the two bots ready to strangle him.
“That’s a penis and those are breasts. I know basic human anatomy is downloading into your systems. Why do you sound so surprised?” Honestly, all bots knew the difference between boys and girls. “And I think Allie would look great in that body cosplaying Captain America. She does look a lot like that one actor who played him back in like the 2010‘sish. We should try that next.”
Everything looked like it was going wonderfully. They were both functioning well and not having any problems with their new centers of balance. All the machines were reading off with positive states and signs. Everything was going even better then expected.
“Oh, I just got home from Panda Distressed. Anyone want some sweet and sour chicken?”

While Allie was thankful that Kiku wasn’t broken or something, she was still very, very upset with Yong Soo. How could he do this to them?! Yes, sometimes he tested out different things on her but this… this was awful! She had never said she was okay with this!
“Yong Soo… Why did you ever think it would be a great idea to do this?” She twitched slightly, her distress programs going off in her head, trying to calm her down. But she was not going to be calm. Yong Soo had changed her without permission and Ivan might not like her now! That thought was causing her more distress than anything else.
Allie looked around for something in the room to throw at Yong Soo, finally settling on breaking the headboard of the bed she had been in and throwing it at the other bot. “How could you do this to me?! What if Ivan hates me now?!”

Well, those pleasant, empty dreams were broken to sharp, little pieces when yelling and panicking echoed from elsewhere in the penthouse. Loud sounds weren't exactly common, not in his household. Then again, Jin was over, but he wasn't sure why that would actually mean anything about a ruckus. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, one red dot like a gun-sight marking the spot. Great, some sort of havoc was being wreaked. That's just what he needed in his home: stress.
After forcing himself out of bed and strapping on his eye-patch, Ivan grabbed a bathrobe and tied it around himself. Pajamas weren't normally warm enough for him to just walk around in. Once he was out in the hall, he tried to listen for where the cacophony was coming from. Well... his name was used by... a somewhat unfamiliar voice. That was unsettling. Why were there unfamiliar voices in his home? He narrowed his eyes very slightly, trying to follow the sounds down the hall to wherever they were coming from. No, those voices didn't belong at all. |

Jin had half a mind to tell Yong Soo that he could stuff that sweet and sour chicken up his nose when she heard a loud crack followed by a series of snaps, drawing her attention to a hysterical Al(lie). She was strangely amused at the blonde’s display of strength until she realised that the hunk of wood was about to be hurled at the Korean next to her, possibly knocking out all three Asian bots in one fell swoop.
Huh. Served him right. ...Although…Yong Soo was the only one who knew how to reverse the procedure, and if he were out of commission, Jin would have to stay a ‘dericate frower’ for much longer than she wanted. ...Granted, she hadn’t wanted any of this to begin with, but she couldn’t really help that now, could she?
“Oy, Allie!” she screamed, slightly panicked. Jin quickly pulled both Yong Soo and Kiku aside, just as the poor headboard came crashing down. “I know you’re like, probably raging with testosterone and steroids and stuff right now, but if he’s broken, he can’t fix us, yeah? Then you’ll be stuck with that sausage an' I’ll have people offerin’ me fivers on the street for the rest of the year!”

Kiku was yanked out of the way just in time to avoid having his cranial hardware smashed in by a flying headboard. The situation went from bad to worse when the other male bot's voice rose to levels he was sure could not possibly be missed by anyone else within the building.
He opened his mouth to add to Jin's words of enlightenment, and hopefully help diffuse the situation, when his sensors caught the distinct sound of foreign footsteps outside the room.
Without another word, the Asian bot nodded his head and dropped down to his knees to do just what he had been instructed to do earlier whilst the confusion carried on.
In the blink of an eye, Kiku had crawled under the Korean's bed and was nothing more than a pair of unseen eyes watching the chaos beyond the dark corners of the (hopefully) unoccupied underside of Yong Soo's furniture.
No dust bunnies here at least. Also, I are ninja~ XD |

Yong Soo let out a rather girlish yelp as he was tugged out of the way of the flying headboard and landed on his rear. “Yeah, calm down Allie. It’s not like it’s irreversible. In fact, it’s easier to change you back then it was to change you in the first place. I just wanted to see if it was possible both ways, and it is. I mean, think of it. How awesome would it be if you could take your bot in and, with an entirely reversible procedure, change their gender for a period of time? It’s really not that different than adding on some cat ears or changing their hair color. It’s just another modification.”
He stood up and rubbed his sore behind. “And Jin’s right you know. If you injure me, you’re stuck like that forever. I don’t have any notes of the procedure written down, and it’s advanced enough it would even take Ivan a long time to figure out.”
A frown crossed his face as he recalled what Allie had yelled whilst chucking furniture at him. “And how could you think so lowly at Ivan? Why wouldn’t he like you just because you look different. You do you think it’d be because you have a penis now? He’s not afraid of them. He has one too. When we bought you, he didn’t care if you were a boy or a girl. If this was irreversible, he still wouldn’t care. Yeah, he might get weirded out and it might take him a while to get used to it, but he would still care about you. You’re his Allie no matter what you look like or what junk you have.”
The Korean bot flopped onto his bed. His broken bed. The bed Kiku was hiding under specifically. Now his bed was too ruined to sleep in. Jin would just have to share his/her cot with him when nighttime came.
