With the addition of the new Grand Imperial Theatre Suggestion Box, the usual post show excitement was even more high than usual. And it was Seijuro's job to make sure things happened in a nice and orderly fashion. Only a few people actually seemed to want to make an actual suggestion, most people seemed to think the theatre was fantastic just the way it was which gave Seijuro a bit of a prideful glow. It seems a lot of people just wanted to get a look at the fancy big glowing and steaming box just for the heck of it.
"If everyone is done here, I'll go ahead and escort you to the front." Seijuro said to the theatre patrons as the fervor of looking at the new theatre staple started to die down. And Komachi hearing this proclaimed, "You heard the man! Last chance to get your...FREE bromides!" Komachi felt herself cry on the inside as she offered her money makers for free, but thanks to the Spirit Crystal powered Suggestion Box there wasn't much she could do about it. However this was Seijuro's first time to hear this announcement and pounced on it, almost literally. He jumped through a bunch of patrons almost knocking them over to get his hands on some bromides.
Unfortunately for Seijuro one of the patrons took offense by Seijuro's overenthusiastic reaction and marched their way to the suggestion box and typed, 'You shouldn't have a rude young man for your ticket taker.' before they pulled the lever. And bunch of steam, gears whirling, and glowing later and Seijuro felt himself enveloped in glowing steam. Seijuro quickly tried to wave the steam away, after all their were bromides to be grabbed. Approaching Komachi with the intend of grabbing as many as he could he held out his hand and said, "I would like one bromide please Ms Komachi." Seijuro felt his mouth say that, but it wasn't what he wanted to say and it wasn't his voice, it was the voice of not a 'rude young man' but it sounded like the voice of a 'polite older woman'. Seijuro looked down as the steam finished clearing and was very surprised to see he had a body that he would normally accidentally come across in a Bathhouse. His normal uniform had also changed into a fancy purple dress with a theatre employee name tag attached reading 'Setsuko'. As he looked down some now much longer black hair with a vaguest tint of grey to it fell in front of his face. He tried to scream out in surprise but simply said, "Oh my goodness," in a demure voice.
Komachi looked at the Flower Division captain before handing over a bromide and saying, "Weren't...you just Seijuro?"
Seijuro tried to grab for more bromides, but overwhelming felt it would be rude and simply sighed before saying, "I still am Ms. Komachi. It seems I have undergone quite the change." He said in a calm voice he did not want to be using.
Knowing what had to be the source of this strange change, Komachi and Seijuro turned to the Suggestion Box and saw that the last remaining patron was making one last suggestion for the night. Looking over the patron's shoulder Seijuro was able to make out what was being Suggested.
