Dana yawned and stretched out her arms as she rose up from Danny's lap. Danny jumped up meanwhile, moving to block off her line of sight to the Entity's curvy Japanese form with his own body whilst he formulated an elaborate lie to tell her. She rubbed her eyes groggily as the shambolic mess of Danny's room came into focus. "Crikey," she groaned, "Must've been so tired I fell asleep..." Her mouth formed a bewildered 'O' as she noticed Danny's body pressed closely to the foreign girl's voluptuous figure. To add insult to injury Danny had accidentally placed his hands on the Entity's chest, making it look like he was in the middle of copping a quick feel of his bust.
"Wow, Danny." Danny winced as he saw tears start to pool in the corner of Dana's eyes. Her lip wobbled slightly as she processed the image in front of her. "Couldn't even wait 'till I left the house, huh? Bet that's why you were so shocked when I came in- you didn't want me to walk in on you manhandling this little slut." Danny tried pleading but Dana shut him down immediately, dusting herself down as she clambered off the bed.
Danny started saying, "No, I promise Dana, it's not like that," when the Entity shushed him and pushed past him. Dana rolled her eyes as the Entity stood in her way. "What more do you need to say to me, you've already got what you wanted," Dana spat as she dabbed her eye with the baggy sleeve of her grey sweater. The Entity smiled and, with inhuman speed, clutched the side of Dana's face in his dainty hands and watched as her head lolled back and her eyes rolled into her sockets.
Lord Jesus help me, Danny thought as he fell back into one of his drawers. A stray arm jerked out and smacked an innocent lamp to the ground where it fractured vehemently.
"Your boyfriend's right, it's not how you think it is," the Entity boomed in an ethereal articulation of many layers of sound, "In fact, you won't even worry about what you've just seen because you trust that my friend Daniel here would never do anything of the sort."
"I would never," Danny chimed in to which the Entity gave him a malicious glare for interrupting.
"...Anyway, you believe that me and Danny are nothing but platonic friends and know that any intimate interactions we have with each other are nothing but playful. To you, and the wider world, I am just the new exchange student at Danny's university, Ginko Shimabukuro. You do not feel like you're relationship with Danny is threatened by me."
"...You also use the term 'slut' as a term of endearment for me."
The Entity grinned mischievously as his dark pupils lowered in intensity, softening to a smoky cocoa colour. Dana shook her head as she regained her bearings. She rubbed her temple as the Entity spoke softly, "Are you OK, Dana? You scared me there..." Dana's amber eyes went up to the Entity's Asian features and a grin stretched across her face. She brushed herself down and giggled quietly to herself. "I'm fine Ginko," she said, "Just felt a bit dizzy for a second there. Mind if I go home and get my head straight?"
Danny shook his head and Dana gave him a quick peck on his cheek as she stepped out into the corridor. Danny closed the door softly and pressed his back against the frame. "What... the f*ck?!" He devolved into a crazy bout of laughter as he slowly sank to the floor. The Entity soon joined in, chortling cutely with his soft Japanese vocal chords. "You're welcome, you lucky bastard," the Entity said as he threw one of Danny's mouldy socks at his face. They both laughed for a few more moments before Danny eventually ran out breath.
"...so, what was that?"
The Entity snorted as he idly played with one of his now erect nipples. "That, my young protege, was a good first lesson into the art of mental manipulation."
"You're saying I'll be able to do that?"
"Through continuous practice and training, yes you should do. But lets not get too ahead of ourselves. First we've got to re-affiliate you with the basics of trait-swapping after your three year hiatus." The Entity groaned as his new stomach growled menacingly. "And if we can find some way to remedy that. Ugh, is this what hunger feels like?"
"Sure is, Entity," Danny laughed.
"You should probably start sticking to the backstory if you're gonna convince your girlfriend that my presence is normal. Otherwise something bad could happen, i.e. her brain exploding."
"Fine, fine! I guess I'll call you Goku Shombo-kombo or whatever."
"Ginko Shimabukuro. And I find your failure to try is just a tad racist."
"How can I be racist when you're the one appropriating another culture?" The Entity (or Ginko, as he wanted to be called) gave Danny a bewildered look. Danny sighed, "Look, I took a semester in Social Sciences, okay?" Ginko shrugged 'her' shoulders as she opened the door for Danny and allowed him to walk out. "Where to first, 'Professor Bronson'," she laughed.
