Morph #1: The Awakening [action]
[Action/The Barracks]
[Rachel awakens to find herself in a large building, wearing a rather hideous sundress and nothing else. More distressingly, she discovers that she has wings. Eagle wings. For a moment, she's afraid she's been trapped partway in morph, but a moment of experimentation shows that she's still able to at least begin morphing.
And then after another moment, she remembers that she's dead. Is this heaven? I mean, wings and a white dress seems like heaven, but some grungy building sure doesn't. Where is she? What the heck is going on? She can't morph in this dress, and she can't walk around as a human with eagle wings- what if a Controller sees her?
So she casts a look around to make sure nobody's nearby, and then she shucks off the dress and slowly begins morphing into the shape of a bald eagle. It's a long, slow process, and she's still woozy and disoriented. She just hopes she isn't interrupted.]
[Action/The Plaza and the Clothing Store.]
[An eagle with a second set of wings tucked behind the first is soaring around the plaza, looking through windows, a white New Feather dress clutched in her claws. As soon as she locates the clothing store, she'll fly inside and begin browsing. Just a bird out shopping. Nothing to see here.]
[Action/Town]
[Once she's stolen obtained some new clothing and morphed into a human again, a strange girl will be walking around town, staring at everything with a mixture of confusion and dismay. Heaven, so far, sucks. A lot. Especially since everything seems to be half-pilfered from the middle ages, and half the people walking around are weird. It's almost like somebody crossed a ren faire and one of those nerd conventions. She could swear she saw a guy dressed like Spock running around.]

clothing store
Clothing store
She pauses, head turning to one side. So much for the shop being empty. Somebody was staring at her and coming toward her. She tenses, getting ready to take off if she has to.]
no subject
Whoa? Are you a New Feather here? [ Oh wait, she just realized how that sounded... ] And I don't mean your wings! I mean your white dress!
With apologies for Rachel's extreme paranoia.
The dress. Crap. Was that something New Feathers got? What were New Feathers? Were they here to be experimented on or something? Did she escape from some place and now this girl was trying to recapture her?
That wasn't going to happen. She immediately attempts to take off, but the tiny extra wings tucked behind her properly-sized ones interfere and she shuffles sideways into the coats. Crap. She'd forgotten about that. She dives into the hanging clothing, hoping to find some space large enough to accommodate demorphing. Let's see them try and recapture a grizzly bear.
don't apologize! i love this thread like a preacher loves sunday!
\o/
Or at least the Yeerk in her head does.
She manages to tuck herself in a space between the shelves and the clothing racks and starts demorphing. She just hoped she had enough time to demorph and remorph before the dracon beams came out.]

And let out a rather significant roar.]

it's a grizzly bear. Tenten looks on, partly horrified but mostly confused. ]
W-what just happened....? [ Tenten detaches a large scroll from her back and holds it in a defensive position as she backs away. She starts to unravel a piece of it, hoping it won't be swatted away before she can summon something.
ooc: Tenten is a weapons expert, so, whatever you want her to summon is up to you. I don't wanna suddenly put a damper in this thread because she summons, like a sword or something so if you want a staff or a war fan or something that's cool too o/ Of note, she doesn't have firearms, so, your bear won't end up as a panel on the far-side. ]
no subject
For starters, why was she messing with a piece of paper instead of a Dracon Beam? For another thing, why did she suddenly sound terrified?
... Oh, man. She settles back down to the floor and tries to look nonthreatening. Of course, she's a grizzly bear, so she meets with limited success.
Instead she tries to ask, in thought-speak as gentle as she can manage,]
-Where is this?-
[OOC: Don't worry about injuries. She can heal from any wound by demorphing, so any weapon that isn't going to kill her or knock her unconscious is cool.]
no subject
She isn't sure if she should think these words or say them. ]
You're in Luceti. It's either an accident, or the Malnosso brought you here on purpose. They say it's the second one but several people question it. If you have - or had, if you're the same hawk that I saw earlier - that white dress, that means you're a newcomer. This place is very confusing, and, I was trying to see if you were well adjusted here. [ Beat. ] The answer is probably no, given the past half a minute, but, regardless... [ Her voice trails off, unsure how to end the sentence. ]
no subject
[The response was almost instinctive. There was a difference. It was almost as if she felt obligated to call her on it because Tobias wasn't here to do it.]
-Uh. Anyway. Yeah, I don't deal well with being jerked around. Sorry if I startled you.-

And with that, the bear turns and plucks a leotard from among the clothing she just knocked over, then casually plods off toward the changing room.
Sorry for the brief delay! I just had my wisdom teeth extracted!
[ Her scrolls could teleport items, and it sounds like it could be useful for this girl! The depths of the lechery in Luceti are.... well, actually they're quite shallow but they shouldn't be encountered nevertheless!
Tenten's lost control of her life. ]
It's fine! Also kinda surprosed on you there, whoops.
"Not necessary, thanks. I can morph clothing, as long as it's skintight. The dress was just too bulky for me to morph."
[And, with zero preamble, she's just gonna go ahead and pluck a pair of jeans out of the wreckage of shelves and pull them on.
That's probably not awkward at all.]
I'm not sure what that word means, so it's okay! 8D;
[ She doesn't think it's awkward. She has teammates that wear tight, form fitting spandex.
ooc: Permission for Tenten to refer to her Eagle form as a hawk constantly? Like, as a running gag of sorts? If it's cool with you, let me know and I'll stop! ]
Oh. I switched to prose without warning by accident. Surprise prose=Surprose
"Oh. Uh... lots of animals."
[She decides not to mention that it also works on humans, because that could unsettle some people.
-OOC: IT'S FINE WITH ME. It'll irk her, but it's cool! XD]
Oh, don't worry about it! I've done worse by accident in threads.
Really? Like, the entire animal kingdom? That's so cool!
[ It wouldn't weird tenten out, because she can actually do that too, but she does have a point.
ooc: FINE WITH ME B) ]
>w>;; NO WORRIES THEN

Do you think you could transform into pokémon? [ She's going to not realize that Rachel probably doesn't know what it means.... ]
no subject
[Oh, she knows what they are. She's from the year 2000. She has experienced Pokemania.
She, however, is one of the kids who never learned to pronounce Pokemon because she didn't care.]
"Like the little, uh. Yellow electric thing that all the ge- uh, kids were into?"
no subject
[ Think about Rachel.... You can be a little electric yellow thing! ]
