Disciple, I choose you!

[feralfanatic]

Who: The Disciple and whoever
Where: Around the city.
When: Backdated to Sunday.
Style: Action
Status: Open


[The Disciple had a hell of a time getting out of the hive she lived in; No thumbs makes it hard to operate a door. She was trying to find someone, anyone really, who could tell her what was wrong with her.]

[Somehow it seems she has been changed into some sort of creature. Her new body pulsed with electricity. It had even discharged when she accidentally brushed against a trashcan in a back alley, which sent the can flying clear across the alley she was in at the time. She also discovered she had the disconcerting ability to see through walls and floors; It was making it hard to function.]

[Early on she discovered she couldn't talk. When she tried to, it all came out as variations of some strange word. Communication was going to prove difficult, but she needed to find out what happened so she could reverse it. Disciple padded through the city, intent on finding someone who could help her. At the very least, someone who could understand her.]

[Cielo's first thought in the morning was "I'm a kitty troll." His second one was "What does the world look like as a troll?" So after some morning shenanigans with his fellow Embryon, he went out to see exactly what it was like to be a troll.

It was mostly the same, really, even if he had these really powerful urges to hunt most of the animals he saw.

But when he sees the big cat padding around, he has nothing but pure admiration for it.

Let's be friends, big cat!]

Hi.

[feralfanatic]

[There was one thing to be said of this four-legged form, its sense of smell was just as strong or greater then what she was normally capable of. Because of this she rather quickly picked up the nearby scent of a troll, oliveblood by the smell of it. The little one? No, this was someone new.]

[It had been awhile since Disciple has seen another of her blood color, she saw fit to investigate. Looking around, she found the troll the scent belonged to. She didn't recognize them. Who knows, maybe they could understand her. Her last attempt at communication had been a failure. Granted, talking with one of the locals was never exciting, this one stared blankly at her and then kept walking.]

[Seeing as this troll was well aware of her, even saying Hi she would make another attempt. The strange dark blue creature walks over to the kitty troll, its head cocked to the side in question.]

[Hello, who are you?]
Lux, Luxray Lux?

[rainbowarch]

[Unfortunately for the poor Disciple, fluency in Luxray was not one of the gifts that were bestowed upon him by the curse. However, this doesn't mean communication is impossible. They'll just have to rely on methods other than words to get the messages across!]

I'm Cielo. I live on the edge of the furest with my comrades.

[Whup there's another cat pun.]

And I guess I'm a troll this week, nya?

[feralfanatic]

[The Luxray tilted its head quizzically, she wasn't sure if her words had gotten through, or it its answer had been a coincidence. One way to find out...]

[So you can understand me? Its a pleasure to meet you Cielo. My name is Disciple. I am... was... a troll; Oliveblooded like you are right now.]
Ray lux luxray luxray? Lux lux luxray lux ray Luxray. Ray luxray lux lux ray Luxray. Lux... ray... Luxray; Luxray ray luxray lux lux.

[Her head stays cocked; watching, hoping.]

[rainbowarch]

[Nope, sorry, Disciple, your hopes have been dashed. He crosses his arms, as if he was trying to understand what she was saying.]

Ah, I'm sorry, but I don't speak in the lux and the ray like you do. You sure are chatty though. Do you just like to talk a lot or were you hit by the curse too?

[feralfanatic]

[Damn. Hrm, lets see.]
Luxray. Lux, Ray Lux.

[The large lion-like creature shakes its head no when she is asked if she likes to talk, and this turns to a vigorous nodding when the curse is mentioned. That sounds like a curse anyways. She had heard this place was capable of strange things, just not quite this strange.]

[The Luxray turns around in frustration, then looks expectantly at the strange greenblooded troll. Maybe it knew how to deal with the curse.]

[rainbowarch]

[Ah, okay so the big cat is someone who was hit by the curse. He feels bad because it seems like they're not enjoying this curse at all while he's having a great time.]

It'll be gone by the end of the week, so hang on, nya? Maybe it won't be so bad, I think you look pretty neat.

[He kind of wonders if this is somebody he knows.]

What are you normally? A human?

[feralfanatic]

[She would enjoy this a lot more if she could only speak so others could understand. She continues to speak as she gestures, out of habit.]

[Only a week stuck like this, good. Thank you.]
Luxray Lux lux ray Luxray, Lux. Luxray.

[Disciple paces back and forth as he asks. How to express she was a troll without touching him. Last thing she needs is to electrocute the person trying to help her. She shakes her head when he says human. The Luxray plays pointer, lifting a paw and pointing her head at the Troll.]

[Troll. I'm a troll.]
Luxray. Lux Luxray.

[rainbowarch]

[Cielo crosses his arms and looks thoughtful to try to decipher what she's telling him.]

You're...a demon?

[Oh wait. Stupid! He shakes his head and facepalms, though he decides not quite stupid enough to warrant a 2x Facepalm Combo.]

Wait wait, no. Demon is what I am normally. I'm a troll right now so that means you're one too.

[He looks down at his grey skinned hands. Still something he needs to get used to, but from what he can see, it's not bad at all. At least he can talk!]

[withoutasign]

Signless, recently awoken as Death, has been wandering the bubble with his entourage of bees for the last few days. He finds it hard to stay in any one spot now, instead preferring to walk all around, watching. And waiting.

He doesn't immediately recognize Disciple, seeing only a large, cat-like creature.

[feralfanatic]

[She heard the bees before the scent hit her. A intimately familiar scent, even if it was currently different somehow. She knew the possessor of this scent, which could only mean one thing.]

[Signless was Nearby.]

[The strange cat-like creature cranes its head around, finally locating Signless. Disciple hesitates, She wanted to run up to him and know everything would be better, but also didn't want to let him see her in this state, it was rather silly. Finally longing wins out, and the cat-creature trots over to the waiting Death-Signless. She spoke, or attempted to anyways.]

[Signless! Thank the light you are here. Something has happened.]
Luxray! Lux luxray luxray ray. Luxray lux luxray lux.

[withoutasign]

[Fortunately, Death speaks and understands all languages, including Pokemon. He looks down at her, and although all she can see is her reflection in his helmet's visor, he very much gives the impression that he's smiling.]

HELLO, MY DEAR. THIS PLACE HAS CHANGED ALL OF US THIS WEEK.

[He reaches out to scratch behind her ears, completely unafraid of her electrical currents.]

[feralfanatic]

[Small electricity filled tears of relief leave her eyes when she realizes that he can understand her. Then she takes in just how much of him has changed. So something changed him as well.]

[Oh Nubby, What happened? How do we go back?]
Luxray Lux? Lux Luxray Ray?

[She jumps initially when he touches her, she didn't want to do to him what she did to that trashcan. But when he scratches behind her ear and he doesn't seem to get hurt, she leans into his hand. Oh god, It felt wonderful. A deep throaty purr begins to escape from the PokeDisciple.]

[withoutasign]

[Signless kneels down, the better to scratch her ears, then settles himself down in a sitting position. Awww yeah, look at this wonderful, expansive lap! Sure could use a kitty in it!]

THIS IS A CURSE, KITTEN. WE WILL REGAIN OUR TROLL FORMS IN ONE WEEK'S TIME.

[feralfanatic]

[And soon Signless is the proud owner of a lion-like Pokemon in his lap. Electricity arcs off of her, but it doesn't seem to effect him so she just relishes his touch. Then she hears his words...]

[So, I'm stuck in this form... for a week?! Tell me, does this sort of curse happen often?]
Lux, Luxray Lux Luxray... Luxray Ray?! Luxray, Luxray Lux ray ray luxray lux?

[withoutasign]

[The electricity arcing around them doesn't bother Signless in the least; it's hard to get worked up about deadly electrical current when you're already... wait, is he dead? Or is he just Death? This is something he'll have to think on later.]

[He scritches her behind the ears.]

I AM AFRAID SO. DO NOT WORRY, THOUGH, I WILL CARE FOR YOU.

[He thinks for a moment.]

NOT OFTEN. THE CURSES SEEM TO HAPPEN EVERY FEW WEEKS, BUT IT IS RARE THAT OUR FORMS CHANGE COMPLETELY.

[feralfanatic]

[More deep purring as she relishes the affection. Shes kind of enjoying the ability to purr naturally. What she picked up from her time in the wilds, and from her descendant was fun and all, but it was for the most part, pretend.]

[Beloved. I will take whatever this place can throw at me if it means staying here, with you.]
Luxray. Lux ray ray lux lux ray luxray lux ray ray luxray ray lux luxray, Luxray.

[Oh look, now Signless is being licked across his helmet's visor by a large electric lion, which is continuing to purr up a storm.]

[codenameninja]

... Oh? [ Japan spots a Pokemon while walking back from the coral, his Shinx one step behind him. They both blink at it. ]

Why would a Pokemon be walking around alone ...? [ Very clumsily at that. He looks over to his Shinx. ] Please go see what's wrong.

[ And it does so. Approaching the Disciple, Japan's Shinx greets her. Oddly you can understand it. ]

Um. Hello? Are you lost?

[feralfanatic]

[When the other strange creature appears she feels an odd kinship with it, like its familiar, even though shes never seen such a creature in her life. But it speaks! Words she can understand! Thank the light!]

Lost in a sense, Something has changed me into this shape. Did you get changed as well? Do you know what happened? How do we get back?

[Shes practically babbling with all the questions she throws out. Disciple is just happy that there is something that can understand finally.]

[codenameninja]

You changed into a Pokemon?

[ Shinx tilts his head curiously. He has met few of his kind before, but this is the first time they told him they changed into one. Weird! ]

As long as I can remember, I have been one. [ He glances over to the giant coral. ] But the coral always does something weird around this time. Maybe that's why you're a Pokemon now?

[feralfanatic]

I uhhh... maybe? Is this what a Pokemon is? This Electricity-laden furbeast form? I used to be a Troll, an Alternian. All i know is I woke up this morning in this form, you think the Coral did it?

[Her turn to glance curiously at the coral.]

Is there a way to turn back?

[codenameninja]

I've never heard of this happening before! So I have no idea ... I'm sorry.

[ Like Master, like Pokemon. Shinx is pretty polite. ]

But don't worry! I think you and I are close related. I'll probably grow up to you. My friend and I can help you.

[feralfanatic]

Its alright. Its an aspect of this place that I suppose I need to get used to. I'm just glad something can understand me.

I'll admit, I get a strange sense of familiarity around you. You almost seem... Like family in a strange way. Thank you for the offer of help, it means a lot, really.

[The pose of the luxray slackens as Disciple relaxes. It may not be an ideal situation, but at least she could communicate with someone now, it did a lot to soothe her nerves.]

[codenameninja]

It's no problem. It must be tough being here alone ... I am happy to give you a helping hand.

[ Shinx shuffles next to Disciple and smiles. To be honest, he's excited to meet his relative (?) ]

Are you hungry? Or tired? I can share my food with you, if you'd like.

[feralfanatic]

Being alone is... very hard. Fortunately, I do have those that care about me in this place. They just can't understand me right now.

[She was past the point in her life where she was alone. It was why she loved this place so much, and refused to return to where she came from.]

I am neither hungry or tired, little one, thank you. Though I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to eat in this form. Actually, if you wouldn't mind, what do I need to know about what we are?
