"By not having anyone to look at us in the first place," Narisa answered promptly, quietly. It had always been her answer to the problem of her birth, when it actually became a problem. Then she shrugged. "But I have a feeling that's not what you mean. And I honestly have no idea."

Narisa shook her head, grimacing as she thought it through. "Not really. But I can't think of a disguise that would work, either."

Narisa cocked her head. "I don't know. What's a Zoroark?"

Having never even heard of this pokemon, let alone knowing one, Narisa looked at Katherine. "You have something to add?" She questioned.

Narisa grinned. "That's just fine with me," she said. "The worst he can do is say no. Unless he's enough of a j*** to go to the effort of getting us in and then bailing out just for giggles? I think Katherine's too trusting, sure, but I doubt she's that naive."

Narisa jumped slightly, having not noticed the Shaymin approaching, then looked down and shook her head. "That's what Max and Piccaro had been looking for when they ran into you," she informed the small Pokemon.

"Yes, or at least for a friend's benefit," Narisa replied, returning a sketchy bow after a moments hesitation. "A friend of ours has been captured, and I'm going to try to get him back." She directed a disgruntled look towards the door 'Prower' had dissapeared through. "Prower thinks that he's being taken to some sort of facility, and I'll need your help to get in. I sort of stick out in a crowd..."

((My posts may be a bit less regular now, sorry. School's started again and it can take up quite a bit of time. D:))

Narisa sweatdropped. "Those sorts of things are just what we don't have," she muttered.

"I think he's helping because you're the one who asked," Narisa pointed out to Katherine, the corner of her mouth twitching. She then rubbed the back of her head, looking to the Zoroark. "I am sorry that we can't pay you, and thank you for helping anyways. You certainly don't owe me or Max anything. I'll remember that, if you ever need help in the future."

Narisa shrugged. "I have no idea what the uniform is or if there's someone specific I should maskeurade as -- though from what I've seen, Delcatty Hybrids are fairly common. However..." She strode over to the door 'Prower' had dissappeared into and firmly rapped her claws against it, producing a sharp rat-tat-tat. "Prower!" "Prower!"She called. "You'll have to come be sociable for a bit-- I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to the latest facility fashion..."

Narisa nodded in thanks. "I hadn't really clued in on that," she said, then turned to the Zoroark. "Well, you heard him. A human would probably work, and... umf, I don't even know what they're called." She thought for a moment. "Overalls? I've seen workers wearing those and tools before." Narisa then looked at Prower. "How far away is this place?"

Narisa shrugged, thinking about it. It was an odd feeling; she'd never really even messed around with the clothing she wore, having only the simple black shift/tunic that she'd always worn. The thought of trying to look different made her feel slightly uncomfortable, though it was something she'd often thought about as a younger child -- before she'd gotten good at staying out of sight.

"What's a common skin and hair colour? We should probably go with that... a simple ponytail would work well, and I guess brown or blue eyes. Height, just slightly taller than I am now." She thought for another second. "Longish fingernails, so if my claws click against something it won't raise any questions.

(((....Dear lord, being in a play takes up all your time. So sorry about the delay!))

(It's ok. My posts may be delayed for the next few days, by the way, due to travel.)

"Common skin colour? That'd be the skin colour of Katherine's human form, or perhaps just a slight shade darker, towards a pink colour; she's always looked a bit pale to me... Common hair colours with those Delcatty hybrids could be black, brown, gold, brown/orange, orange, red, white... In that facility, they don't really care for hair colour. So may I suggest staying with your current hair colour?... And yep, I can give you a ponytail hair style... I think you'd look good with a hazel brown eye colour. And yep, I can make you appear slightly taller, and with longish fingernails. One appearance illusion for you, coming right up" Zack said.

He then closed his eyes for a few moments and focused towards Narisa, before soon opening them again.

"There. All done!... Just ask, if you'd like that hair colour changed, alright?" he said, as Katherine teleported out of the room and soon returned with a large mirror that had a height slightly taller then that of an average human.

"Here's a mirror for you, so that you can see the entire illusion!" the Dragon/Psychic type said with a smile.

Narisa examined the illusion, pushing away the slight shiver at not seeing herself there. "...Looks good," she said. "Though I would feel safest with a different hair color, it feels like it would appear as too much of a coincidence to them if it were the same."

Narisa nodded. "That works. Thank you again for this." She looked over at him. "So what are you going to go in as? Hidden, or...?"
