...This thing is so amazing, I can't believe they have this kind of technology.

—Oh, yeah, this is Sorey! Leave me a message and I'll get back to you, thanks!

I never thought I'd see the day you'd match your own shirt.

[It's a shaky attempt at levity...the scales are still soft, and Mikleo winces at the poke.]

That feels strange.

From:

imsorey

--Sorry.

[he lets go and puts his hands in his lap, though he's still looking Mikleo over for additional scales]

I didn't think I'd ever see you turn into a fish, either.

From:

oneandmikleonly

[THEY'RE FORMING ON BOTH HANDS...UP HIS WRISTS...AND ON HIS FACE? They don't seem to be affecting his ability to emote, though; he sputters.]

I am not turning into a fish! Why are you BLUE?

From:

imsorey

[If Mikleo can make faces like that then it's probably fine tbh]

I don't know why I'm blue! I thought you might know! I just looked up from my book and I was like this.

From:

oneandmikleonly

Why would I know if you were blue? You've never been blue before! For a moment I thought we were becoming hellions!

[squashes Sorey's face between both scaly hands.]

From:

imsorey

I don't know, I just panicked!

[His face is squished so all of his words come out like, well, his face is being squished.]

I think it would feel a little different if we were becoming hellions. Like, bad.

[He doesn't really know for sure, but he figures he can't be far off]

From:

oneandmikleonly

You still feel pretty pure to me.

[SQUISHES HARDERRRR for a moment and then relaxes his hands, some of the tension going out of his frame; he sounds a little embarrassed.]

...you're not the only one who panicked. I thought I was turning into a drake, not a fish.

From:

imsorey

[Reaching to place his hands on top of Mikleo's in an attempt to reassure him]

You feel pretty pure to me too. You're definitely not turning into a drake. There's no way I'd let that happen.

[If he was turning into a hellion he would look uglier, more warped like the hellion's they've seen before. But even with scales Mikleo's the same as he's always been.]

oneandmikleonly

...I know. It was just for a moment.

[Sorey's attempt...works; he huffs gently, patting Sorey's face a little bit with his fingers.]

You don't seem to be turning into anything in particular. You match your shirt, though.

From:

imsorey

I don't really want to blend in with my clothes.

[He holds out one hand in front of himself to get a better look at it.]

Maybe it's supposed to be camouflage. Think I can change colors?

From:

oneandmikleonly

I...don't know. Wouldn't it make more sense for you to match your cloak, though...?

Try to focus on doing that and see, anyway.

From:

imsorey

[He closes his eyes and focuses really hard on being able to change the color of his skin, or to blend in with the chair he's sitting on.

After a second he peeks an eye open, impatient.]

Is it working?

From:

oneandmikleonly

Nope. Concentrate harder.

From:

imsorey

[Closes his eyes again and concentrates REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD!!!!!!1]

From:

oneandmikleonly

[strokes his chin, staring at Sorey VERY VERY THOUGHTFULLY when Sorey opens his eyes again]

Fascinating effect...

From:

imsorey

--! Did it work?!

From:

oneandmikleonly

You're exactly the same colour.

From:

imsorey

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

Now you're just teasing me.

From:

oneandmikleonly

Guess I can't deny that.

[he's trying to make him feel better, honest]

From:

imsorey

[it seems to be working]

It would have been a cool trick! I might have been able to change my skin back to normal that way, too.

From:

oneandmikleonly

Sorry to disappoint. Still, it's not the worst look for you, as long as nothing else happens.

From:

imsorey

Do you think we should expect anything else to happen?

From:

oneandmikleonly

I don't know. We didn't expect this thing in the first place.

From:

imsorey

We could ask around. There's no way this is normal!

From:

oneandmikleonly

We're going to have to.

...I really hope it's nothing serious.

From:

imsorey

I hope it's fixable. This is a little too much to get used to.

From:

oneandmikleonly

...hold still a moment, I want to try something.

From:

imsorey

Try what?

[but he is, obligingly, holding still]

From:

oneandmikleonly

[iiiiit's just a healing arte; worth a shot, right?]

From:

imsorey

[a well-intentioned try! he looks hopeful for a second before seeing that his hands are still, well, blue]

I think I'm a little less blue, don't you?

From:

oneandmikleonly

[ever blunt]

It would be nice if that were the case, but it's not.

From:

imsorey

It looks a little lighter in the light!

[holds his hand closer to the light for PROOF!!!1

but he's well aware there's no change and is still trying to think of a way to change it back to normal]
