057: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

[contract_star]

[On the Plane, there is a pile of clothes. Within the pile the edges of a utility belt can be seen, and a few knives lie off to the side. The pile of clothes is also wriggling around as something moves around beneath it. Whatever it is, it is making very unhappy sounds as it struggles to free itself.]


[ooc: Guess who ran into a Contractor who could turn people into “other things”? 8D]

{Oh man, is it small and furry? Because Horo is hungry. She starts digging around to try and catch whatever that something is}

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[Oh dear.]

[contract_star]

[Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle, pop! And a fennec fox sticks its head out of a sleeve and peers up at Misaki.]

[Somewhere in the back of the fennec's mind, a tiny voice just went "oh shit."]

[contract_star]

[The creature gives a little growl-squeak and a flash of yellowish fur is seen.]

[contract_star]

[A tiny paw shoots out of a sleeve-hole, followed by a tiny black nose, which sniffs the air.]

[......]

[._.; So cute.]

...Hei?

[contract_star]

[It yips and tries to free itself.]

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{:9 DELICIOUS. Horo pounces on it, laughing merrily}

My, it has been quite a while since I ate another furred one! This form does not do well for catching them, unfortunately!

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Crouches down to put a hand on his head.] Hei, is that you?

[contract_star]

[The tiny voice screams "NO, LEAVE ME ALONE", but the fox's mind is in charge for now. He jerks away from the hand, finally disentangles himself and takes off running, paws slipping and skidding on the Astral Floor.]

[contract_star]

[CUE FLAILING AND TINY SNARLING. Out pops a fennec fox, fur on end.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Hei, Hei wait! [She snatches up the coat and runs after him, waiting until she's close enough to toss it over his head.]

You can't--not while you're--

[contract_star]

[CURSES, FOILED! The fox gives a plaintive little whine and tries to escape from under the coat.]

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Grinning as she holds it}

Ufufu, you need not worry! I know well enough of magicks and the workings of this odd place to know that you are more than a tasty morsel. Now, you look rather like a fox, so perhaps we could talk if you would like the conversation, little one.

[contract_star]

[The fennec's ears go forward a little. Hei is currently just a voice in the back of the fennec's mind, but he recognizes Horo and can understand her.]

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{When she speaks, it sounds like barks and growls, but Horo is a wolf}

My, now what trouble has this youngster gotten into?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Pins it down gently.] So I guess this means you can't understand me.

[contract_star]

[He starts yipping and whining back like crazy. The translation is roughly:]

Horo, it's me, Hei! Someone transformed me into--this.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

What a cute thing to become! And pray tell, how did that happen, Hei?

[contract_star]

[The understanding is vague, if at all. He calms down a little and stares up at Misaki, silently begging that she's not going to take him home and put a bow on him or something.]

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[...buh?]

...Hei?

[contract_star]

It's not cute! I need to change back... What am I, anyway? Everything is so big...

There was a Contractor, like a magician. She changed me.

[contract_star]

[He recognizes that voice! And isn't sure whether he's happy or upset to hear it. He follows the sound and finally, pop! There is a fennec fox, looking disgruntled and confused.]

[extutela.livejournal.com]

[Fortunately for him angels can communicate with pretty much anything. ._. Very carefully crouching now, so's not to startle him.] How in the world did this happen? Unless you crossed an angel somehow. [ :| ]
