Current Mood: freaked out

[Seeing and hearing everyone reacting to their transformation has Saleh in a slight panic himself.]

What in the world…?

What is happening in the village?

[OOC: He's unaffected, so this is my "freak him out with your transformations" post.]

[Have a Night Fury who's finally figured out how to use his journal.]

Everyone's turning into something else.

And the Malnosso have developed a very broad definition of "something else".

Another experiment? I see...

Forgive me for asking, but...have we met?

[In this state, it would be impossible to recognize anyone he knows.]

No, I can't say we ever have.

Rupert Giles. Nice to meet you. I'm normally a bit more, um, human shaped.

It's nice to meet you as well. I am Saleh. Thankfully I am still human...for the moment.

Well, I certainly hope you stay that way.

This isn't the worst experiment I've ever lived through, but the only way I can get in and out of my apartment like this is to take out a wall.

I'm sorry to hear that...

Have you considered staying elsewhere for the duration?

[Rydia is unaffected...so far. Cue a sigh.]

Pure insanity, that's what.

Ah, Rydia...

[Pauses to collect himself.]

How are you faring in all of this?

My entire household is transformed. It's been an...interesting day.

But...what does one do when they are transformed like that?

Try to live with it until it wears off, I guess. There isn't anything they can do to return to normal on their own, not until the experiment is over.

Hmm...I suppose it would also depend on exactly what they turn into...

Well, Kain's a moogle, Sephie's a...toy...and Cecil's a strange woman who attracts ravens.

[He has no idea what a moogle is, the woman attracting strange...but it's really the toy that concerns him.]

A...toy? Is Selphie able to...act of her own will at all?

...well, it looks like a toy. And yes, she definitely can. Her journal entry was loud enough to wake me up.

Oh, was that...? I see.

[He remembers that outburst, but just didn't recognize her.]

I really...don't know what to do in light of all of this.

[There is an anthropomorphic mutant red-eared slider peering into Saleh's journal window. In a moment, he clears his throat - as best as he can.]

If nobody else has informed you - the Malnosso appear to be conducting an experiment involving spontaneously changing the species of various individuals in Luceti.

Normally I am a human - homo sapiens sapiens - but apparently the Malnosso felt it prudent to misinterpret a prior statement of mine. [He smiles wryly, as much as you can do so when your face is a beak.]

So I'm beginning to see.

[He studies the mutant very carefully.]

...And you are?

Just...don't attack anything, since whatever beast you see is likely to be a villager, at this point.

A trachemys scripta elegans, mutatens. [Every time he gets to say that, it makes him smile a bit.] In layperson's terms, a mutant red-eared slider - that is a species of turtle on some Terran multiversions.

I would wonder if other peoples' transformations are as... ironic as mine seems to be.

It is true...but I would not initiate an attack anyway. I suppose now would be a good time to head into the mountains. The New Feathers have settled in by now, I would hope.

[And all of that scientific jargon just flows right over his head.]

I'm sorry...I meant to ask for your name.

A mountain retreat isn't a bad idea, though keep your journal handy. You don't want to run into trouble and be unable to call for help.

Ah, my apologies. [Robert smiles sheepishly at this, looking a little embarrassed.] I am Professor Robert Alexander Hastings.

And yourself? I have never spoken to you before, and I apologize that our first meeting had to occur at such an uncomfortable time.

I don't know anyone who has a place where I could fit.

Sleeping outside has been easier. And I don't mind much.
