Video || Day 64

[undomesticated]

Okay, so, that was fun.

[Her tone clearly implies that it was anything but.]

I just wanted to say thank you to the people that helped me when I was, uh, a little mangled. I know there was a lot of weirdness going on and I just wanted to say thanks for helping me out when you guys were all messed up. Too. When you were messed up too. Because I was, obviously.

[Nice save, Riley. Her smile had almost fallen off at that, but she pasted it back on brightly, smiling into the communicator.]

I hope the rest of you are doing better now that everything's back to normal. Or, you know, as normal as it gets around here. I'm here if anyone needs me.

[Not that she thought that would happen, but hey, it was always better to offer.]

[tryingitall]

You were a charming jaguar. I'm still jealous.

[undomesticated]

Oh, hey! Balthazar!

So... what were you? Because, um, those were some weird chompers.

[tryingitall]

Leviathan. [He smiles grimly.] Frankly, I don't know how I managed to get through it without eating half the town.

[undomesticated]

[She frowns a little.]

I thought leviathans were ocean creatures?

[tryingitall]

[He shrugs.] They might have been, originally. In the primordial ocean of chaos before any other life existed.

But my world's legends and yours may not be the same, and they're such ancient creatures, I'm not sure anyone living knows much about them.

[undomesticated]

Whatever they are, I hope they're extinct, because you were kinda freaky looking with the monster maw.

[tryingitall]

[He chuckles and shakes his head.] Not extinct, as far as I know, but they're usually safely locked up. And I hope never to become one again.

[onteamdyson]

I think everyone was messed up.

... Are you all good now? No residual mangledness? Sorry if I totes freaked you out the other day.

Private Video

[undomesticated]

I kinda noticed that.

All mangledness has been resolved, thanks. What? No, you didn't freak me out. You looked, um... pissed. I sort of figured that living under the same roof didn't exactly give me carte blanche rights on needing to know everything going on with you. Are you better?

Private Video FOREVER

[onteamdyson]

Yeah, yeah I'm ... well. Better as in not pissed, unbetter for a different reason. Apparently our place is just drama central. Hopefully with shiz all back to normal, there will be less blood-soaked everything. [Apologetic smile for the win! She seriously is sorry.]

But, hey! Peeps helped you out, right? So you're making friends! Normal... friends. Not crazy-as-hell ones, right?

And ever and ever

[undomesticated]

Do you want to talk about it? I kind of feel like I'm skimming just under the drama radar, which is both bad and good.

[She bites her lips as she thinks about that.]

That depends on your definition of normal. I ran into a tree girl, face and body changing Steve, a glitter dripping cupid, and the Doctor. Oh, and Balthazar, but he was like, mega shark head or something.

I also kind of wish someone had let me know about the robot bears. Those things are brutal.

[onteamdyson]

Mmmmmaybe... later. Still kinda raw. I mean, Jesse's-- our roomie Jesse died. [And that's all she really wants to say about that.]

Oh my god, dude, I forgot to warn you about the bears. The woods in general is legit the worst place ever.

[Hang on a second. Wh--] None of these things sound like normal things. [Well, they do to her, but they aren't supposed to be normal to regular people, sooooo...]

Busy week.

[undomesticated]

Oh. Crap. I'm so sorry.

[She couldn't say much else since she hadn't really known him, but Kenzi seemed to have and she was sorry for the grief she was feeling.]

I thought it would be a good idea to try to escape when I didn't look like me. I was very, very wrong. Like... super wrong. All the wrong.

[She laughed a little, shaking her head.]

Considering I had four legs and was covered in fur, I should be thankful they didn't shoot me and make a rug out of me.

[nevermindtherunning]

You alright!?

[He hasn't made the connection she was the jaguar.]

I didn't realized you were hurt. Ah, but I think everyone is back to normal, as normal as can be here.

[undomesticated]

I am, yeah. Thanks to you and some others.

[She gave him a wide grin.]

Meow.

[nevermindtherunning]

[There's a pause.]

Oh... OHHHH! OH, I GOT IT! You were that jaguar!?

[undomesticated]

I'd say give the man a prize, but I'd be worried about what this place might consider as an adequate prize.

[nevermindtherunning]

[There's a contented smile at that.] Oh, not much, but a smile and knowing you're fine will do.

Any lingering wounds? Or does that all go away after the transformation?

[undomesticated]

Yes, thank you. I'm great. Nothing to speak of in terms of lingering pain or anything.

[Honestly, she would have healed before she'd seen him if she'd bothered to eat and rest before her little attempt.]

You seemed to have escaped none the worse for wear.

[video]

[blackmagus]

I'm starting to gather that 'normal' is a stretch.

[undomesticated]

Isn't that how it always is? I've never really been comfortable with the term 'normal'. Its status is a total sliding scale.

[blackmagus]

It's true. I doubt anyone here would term where I come from as normal.

But it's always nice when "normal" doesn't include freakish experiments.

[undomesticated]

No argument here.

Hi, by the way. I'm Riley. I take it you're new here, huh?

[blackmagus]

Fortescue. Just 'arrived' here a few days ago. [She quirks a wry smile.] I hope you're all right now?

[undomesticated]

No complaints here. Didn't lose any body parts or anything and I'm all in one piece. It's nice to meet you, Fortescue, even under these circumstances.
