[Arkhosia]

Oh...
Then Caelynn notices Garrett's unclothed state.
She turns around to not look, embarrassed.

[TechnoScrabble]

Garrett accepts the clothes with thanks. They're a bit big for him, but at least he's decent now.

"Sorry you had to see that."

[Deathkeeper]

Spako waves him off.
"I'm a reptile; it happens often enough with us and human organs mean nothing to me.
And really, you lucked out hard. 'weres getting triggered usually last a whole lot longer. That might be the only trigger, or it might not, but clearly it's no big deal if it doesn't last long and doesn't make you maul anyone. Just...try to resist if you get any strong cravings, alright?"

[Arkhosia]

Caelynn turns back around, still blushing slightly with embarrassment (though it quickly fades).
I, uh, I didn't see anything. Nothing at all!
Caelynn lies, embarrassment in her voice.

[TechnoScrabble]

"I wasn't talking about my junk, I was referring to-eh...never mind," Garrett pulls another chair under, "Heheh. Hung like a bear jokes."

[Deathkeeper]

Spako snorts.
"What, those? I'd show you mine from the Umbrr Hulks, but they got erased with the lance-wound. On the plus side, you can now use a piece of candy as a deadly weapon.

...nothing from all that, bird?"

[TechnoScrabble]

Garrett looks around, worried for the obnoxious bird, and finds it wrapped up and struggling in the remains of his jeans.

"I'll thank you kindly to never do that again, you twit!"

[Deathkeeper]

"Well, it's not like being a lycanthrope is a willing decision. Most of the time. Actually, you might want to test that some other time. It'd be rather useful, even though as someone who can self-combust the fur coat isn't as big a deal. You were a nice shade of red, though. " he says innocently.
Red is Spako's favorite color, if the scarf wasn't obvious.

[TechnoScrabble]

"I changed back when I pointed out that I didn't want to be a bear. Mebbe that's it?" Garrett suggests.

"Maybe you're just an impotent moron."

[Arkhosia]

"I changed back when I pointed out that I didn't want to be a bear. Mebbe that's it?" Garrett suggests.

"Maybe you're just an impotent moron."

Hey crow!
Caelynn flips the bird at the crow.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I have a few scars as well. One on my forehead from a generous application of blunt force, and a large slash across my chest. my "visit" at AMEN was not a pleasant one.
maybe honey's the catalyst for your transformation?

[Deathkeeper]

"Yeah, that's what I meant when I said it was the trigger.
Usually that doesn't matter though, Garrett. The Faunus girl who Drew last certainly wasn't happy about being a bear and she didn't change back just for that. Even if Bears are pretty harmless lycanthropes the curse is usually still a curse." says the kobold, puzzled.

[TechnoScrabble]

Garrett shudders when AMEN is mentioned, he doesn't have happy memories about the Acro organizations, especially not the night of the tavern riots, or the fall of the empire, or that time the world was ending.

"I meant maybe I just turn back when I'm tired of being a bear? Or when surprised or under stress?"

[Arkhosia]

Caelynn notices the shudder, and raises an eyebrow.
Who was she, exactly? I might know her.

[Deathkeeper]

"But that's what I mean. The circumstances were pretty much identical, so I don't know why yours was so easily cancelled. It doesn't really matter though anyway. Like I said, unless you really want to make use of that other shape and don't get any uncontrollable cravings for more honey rolls, you probably won't change back for a while.
Spako really should knock on wood after a line like that. Although since Garrett can blow things up with his fists, has fire in his blood, and doesn't seem to have any enemies to disguise himself from, there doesn't seem much use for an alternate shape.
"Uh, slim girl about your age in a dress? Rabbit ears? I don't even remember if she gave me her name."

[TechnoScrabble]

Well, not explosions and fire-blood so much, buuut...

"The other huntress? Rabbit girl, named Celica. Was a vampire, but wanted a cure."

[Arkhosia]

Caelynn bursts into laughter, her chair falling over.
Celica? You're kidding.
She says as she gets up.

[TechnoScrabble]

"What? His face not funny enough already?"

"You know her, then?" Garrett asks, "She ever get cured?"

[Deathkeeper]

Hey, fire-blood was his phrase, not mine!
"Well, I suppressed the Deck at the time, so I doubt she's still cursed. But yeah, drew The Bear and The Twin. I can't tell what she was more confused about, the fact that she suddenly had paws or the fact that she was a dude. Still kept the rabbit ears, though. I'm afraid I might have hurt his feelings for laughing so hard.
She the one you met, Garrett? Wasn't a vamp when I met her."

[Arkhosia]

Another laughing fit commences!
Oh my god, that's hilarious!
I didn't know she got vamped though. That must suck. Pun intended.

[TechnoScrabble]

"She was a girl when I met her...and vampires are no laughing matter," Garrett scowls at the bird as it begins to taunt him for his fear.

[Deathkeeper]

"Well, yeah, most effects when Suppressed don't last too long. So she must have done something for a cure by the time she met me around Thanksmas."

[Arkhosia]

"She was a girl when I met her...and vampires are no laughing matter," Garrett scowls at the bird as it begins to taunt him for his fear.

"Well, yeah, most effects when Suppressed don't last too long. So she must have done something for a cure by the time she met me around Thanksmas."

I know full well. I just find it hilarious that she got turned into a male bear with bunny ears.
Caelynn replies.

[TechnoScrabble]

"Were you classmates at Beacin?" Garrett asks.

[Deathkeeper]

"That poor dress was still stuck to 'im, too. I hope she could still use it once she changed back."
Spako says, chuckling to himself and letting them have their conversation.

[Arkhosia]

"Were you classmates at Beacin?" Garrett asks.

Yes, actually. Why?
Caelynn asks.

[TechnoScrabble]

"Just wondering," Garrett reaches for another roll, then thinks better of it, eliciting a laugh from Corvus Rex.

[Deathkeeper]

Spako can't help but laugh, too.
"C'mon, Garrett. It's only been five minutes and it almost got you again! Although on the plus side if someone ever wrecks your clothes it's a pretty good way to get to a store without anyone questioning your lack of modesty!"
If anyone actually asked a bear why it was not wearing clothes, they'd just be silly.

[Arkhosia]

Hey Garrett, would you object if I shot that thing?
Caelynn asks, gesturing to Corvis,

[TechnoScrabble]

"I don't think you should. I feel sortve responsible for the little arse," Garrett looks at Corvis, "Annoying as he is."

[Deathkeeper]

"Cael, weren't we just going over how shooting people is wrong? Just because his brain is the size of an almond does not mean he isn't magically sentient and therefore a person.
Besides, the Deck probably made him immortal so he could annoy Garrett for as long as possible, not intending for him to get a functioning brain."
Says the kobold matter-of-factly.
