"The reference would presumably be lost on them."

"Also apparently saying their name wrong literally hurts them if you do it in front of them, and that seems like - maybe the same genre of thing, I dunno."

"Huh, maybe."

"They said 'Ancora' was fine, just not trying and messing up the syllables after that."

"Oh thank goodness, I was getting tired of trying to pronounce the entire thing whenever they were around."

"It's so long.  Why is it so long."

"I guess if you do not strictly speaking talk out loud then you lose a lot of pressure to shorten things."

"I guess so . . .  How did the throat-ing go; any progress on that?"

"They were attentive but I don't know if they have enough knowhow to make it work yet."

"Makes sense.  Guess it might be a while given that they said the hands took them like a decade - "

Knock knock.

...what is Ancora knocking on?

They seem to have brought the door from their room with them.

"...you don't have to knock to enter public places, such as this one, but I appreciate the thought."

'I see.'  They teleport away and return shortly, doorless.

Also they look kind of completely different now!  Still the same model of person, as it were, but styled very unlike how they were before.

All of the red is gone from their outfit, though it remains in their eyes; they no longer have any amount of skirt, 1880s or otherwise; their jacket is gone, leaving only a vest and dress shirt.  Their pants are higher-waisted than previously, with two columns of metal buttons in lieu of a zipper, and their footwear has changed from knee-high boots to sharp dress shoes.  More of their face is visible; they still have a mask but it's a domino rather than a full-coverage skull, and their hair is pulled back in a ponytail instead of floofing out dramatically in all directions.

All of the items have black as their base color, though some have dense, intricate floral designs in gold on top of that: their mask, scrunchie, vest, sleeve cuffs, nail polish, and shoes.

"I like your new outfit."

"Very sleek," Judy agrees.

Ancora nods.

"Why the update?"

'My visual form is also a medium for artistic expression.  And -

I am a different shape of person from the one who entered here, so it is fitting that I be a different shape of person in a more literal sense.  It was overdue.'

"Cool. Humans do that too sometimes, revamp their look to commemorate a new life chapter."

. . . winghide.

(Their wings have also gotten a new design: solid black on the backs, gold pattern on the inside; less-prominent claws.)

"What does it mean when you do that?"

Unwinghide.  'In this specific instance or in general.'

"Both."
