∞ 59: Crimson guise [voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Sheesh. I don't need all this yelling when I'm trying to catch a nap.

Look, it's obvious that there's an experiment going on. Just deal with it. It'll be over with in a week.

If it really matters, it's also obvious that people are turning into things that they despise.

[In house 42, there's a teenager lying on the couch. Bored. And probably trying to take a nap again.]

... You're being facetious, aren't you.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

What's facetious again?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... Nevermind.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Don't be so uptight, Raine. Nothing bad is going to happen.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... I'm not being uptight. It's far too early to make a statement like that, considering some of the forms I've seen around.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

And I think you're wrong. The forms themselves aren't something to worry about.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm aware of that, and it's not what I'm worried about. However, some of the forms bear personality changes.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Personality changes. Now, if someone suddenly decides they are the person they're suddenly looking like... Then you've got problems.

But whatever. If you want to worry yourself gray-- Oh, wait. Too late.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm not. I'm simply... keeping an eye on the situation, for now. [She starts to walk towards the kitchen]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He starts shouting after her, not really wanting to exert the energy to get up.] You always need to have something to "keep an eye on," don't you?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She stops, and starts to turn to say something back, but just ends up shaking her head. Now's not the time for that discussion, especially with him acting like this. In Caesar's body, of all things.]

Are you thirsty?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I could go for something to eat. Preferably something not involving lemons.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

An apple, perhaps?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Hmm. Nah.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Well, when you think of it, I'll be in the kitchen. [And she starts walking back now.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[There's a loud "Hmmm." You better not be too far from the kitchen yet, Raine.] Grapes?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She's still in enough distance to have heard that. She turns her head briefly towards him, speaking and waiting for acknowledgement before entering the other room.]

... Fine. I'll get you a bowl.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Hahaha. Nice. He smirks a little bit.]

I could get used to this.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[It's good that Raine didn't hear that part.

After a few minutes, there may be some sounds coming from the kitchen; a chair scraping, a gasp, and something thudding to the ground.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Ugh. That didn't sound good. Did that mean he had to get up?

...

Okay, fine. Let's get up and head to the kitchen.]

You okay over there?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[There is no answer to that just yet. When he gets to the kitchen he will find an overturned chair, with Raine partially pinned under and squirming slightly to get out of, a bit disoriented by the suddenness of the change.

She also seems to have lost some clothing to the verge of nearly being indecent... and then there's the fact that her legs ... don't seem to be legs anymore, instead replaced with a rather long and green nearly fishlike ... tail.]

Ugh, what was...

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[No kidding "lost some clothing to the verge of nearly being indecent." Albert whistles lowly from his place at the doorway.]

Well, will you look at that.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[What. Raine attempts to get more of her bearings, trying to get that chair off, finally managing to squirm out from under it. She still hasn't taken note of Caesar!Albert either.]

I... -- what? Ugh. It got me as well.

But what is this...

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Flop like a fish! Flop like a fish!]

It looks like a fishtail, Professor Raine.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She just... squirms, before trying to use the overturned chair as a means to pull herself up. Before flopping, kind of. She's not feeling all that great either. Covering up properly hasn't even occurred to her just yet given the tail distraction.]

A fish--

This is utterly ridiculous.
