OPEN : AUGMENT MALFUNCTION

[passingthrough]

Who: Kitty Pryde and YOU!
Broadcast: Open
Action: Twin Roses & Iskaulit
When: 3/4 - 3/10ish

[ Video ]
[Kitty appears on video looking a liiiiiiittle different than the way she usually looks. The augment had some fun adjusting her. She’s not a cat, but she’s certainly got a lot of catlike features which isn’t unheard of for a mutant.

The pupils of her eyes are no longer round, but a slit. Her nails have also changed, growing to a point and hooking slightly to serve more as claws. Her fangs have extended slightly. Her ears now come to more of a point and are soft and fuzzy like the rest of her body. There’s a short layer of fur everywhere now, similar in color to her usual skin tone, but with gray tabby-like striped markings appearing over certain parts of her body like her face, legs, arms, and tail. Oh, yeah, there’s a tail too. Of course there is.]

Okay. Just get all the puns and jokes out of your systems right now.

[ Twin Roses ]
[You might spot the direwolf pup, Seeker run by with Kitty following him.] Come on, it’s still me.

[Or maybe you just run into her in the kitchen, bridge, lounge, engine room, or shuttle bay. There are only so many places to be on the ship after all and she gets cagey being all locked up during the drifting weeks when she’s at her best. Right now she’s even more restless than usual. And you know how she’ll often sit on a table or counter instead of a chair? Well, she’s still doing that, but sometimes she’s taking it even more extreme being up on the top of book shelves and various equipment.

You could also find her in her room if you’re looking for a more private moment.]

[ Iskaulit ]
[As awkward as she feels in this body, she’s not going to stop living her life because of it. That means time spent training in the gym where she very awkwardly isn’t sure what to deal with her tail. You might get to see her step on it again. It also means she’ll drop by the library to replenish her book supply and Jarvis’ for some food. A girl’s gotta eat!]

Oh, Kitty-cat...you look absolutely purrrfect. I've been waiting all my life for a mewment like this. But I get the feeling your cat-ittude about the whole thing is a little less than paw-sitive. Purhaps you only need some purrsuasion. I bet you're very cathletic like this.

[passingthrough]

I think I believe you've waited your whole life for this. That was some densely-packed punning.

I'm going to need a restraining order with you, aren't I? [Wouldn't actually get a restraining order even if that was a thing here. Tail swishing in the background.]

Video

[apurrstate]

Paw-lease, I've got more.

[He laughs.] Of course not, I can appreciate your clawsomeness from a comfurtable distance. But as a healer, I must ask: are you feline okay?

[hollystrike]

[Good grief, woman. You're the splitting image of a pooka, tbh. Though they actually tend to have *less* fur.]

What if we just want to pet your ears?

[passingthrough]

[She would love to be a "less fur" version. Preferably her normal self.]

You're gonna have to buy me dinner first and then we'll see how it goes.

[chicandsporting]

[This is a little too familiar for his liking, thank you very much. ]

So. That happened. Please tell me this is a glitch and not anything worse.

[Like, you know, a curse.]

Video

[passingthrough]

[Why do you look concerned and not amused?]

What's worse than a... Oh! [Your life. The "master" is all beastly, right?]

No, no, just a glitch I'm pretty sure. I don't think I pissed off any witches lately. I guess it could be a secondary mutation, but I doubt it.

[outstandingbalance]

Seems a little on the nose, doesn't it?

[Natasha probably should have kept that to herself, but she can't help but check in. And how else can she start?]

video

[passingthrough]

I'm just glad they didn't touch the nose. Well, except for the fur. There's just a lot of fur. [But otherwise it's her normal human nose.]

[private] audio

[wallcrawler]

Well, that's definitely one of the more extreme makeovers I've ever seen.

On the bright side, bet this whole thing'd make for one heck of a tail.

[She might have asked for it- literally- but he's still going to keep his response private. And only partly because he's pretty sure someone already beat him to the best material. And also taking it a bit slow, just to feel out where the line is- if there even is one.]

Think you'll at least get a sweet pair of boots out of it?

[private] audio

[passingthrough]

Ha. Ha. Ha. [But she doesn't sound annoyed even if she's giving him the "you're not funny laugh."]

I think I'm going to get a lot of having to rip my pants out of it to make tail holes. And I'm fresh out of tailors to fix them later.

[tempredmental]

Why do I feel like this is something my boyfriend would want to see on me?

[Kitty wasn't the only one that got cat jokes. Keith's just tended to be among his own teammates.]

video

[passingthrough]

I'd think your boyfriend was Anders if I didn't know better.

[ecclesiophobic]

[Congrats Kitty, ya broke his brain. Kurt doesn't say anything, just stares at her with a dumbfounded look.]

[video]

[passingthrough]

[She thought there would be teasing or laughter when Kurt caught up with the message. She wasn't expecting silence and it makes her feel self conscious in a way she was trying to fight against when that's all she gets. Figeting a little she lifts a hand to wave at him.]

Hey, you. [Say something.] You were my next stop if you didn't see this. Or you still can be. I'm in my room.

Action

[goldenglasses]

[Vash had missed Kitty's announcement. Having been busying doing a bit of training. He was in his bedroom and had just finished changing into a set of clean clothes and putting his trademark jacket back on when he heard a muffled.

Nyrow!

To his horror when he turned around he saw Kuroneko sitting near the door way with Vash's light blue boxers in her mouth.] Hey, Kitty-kitty! Good kitty! Bring those back over here now! What a good cat!

[Slowly the cat stands as Vash wonders how the hell his door came to be slightly opened, but just glad that the cat was coming towards him and... nope. There she goes bounding down the hall.]

YOU ASSHOLE GET BACK HERE! [Vash sprints down the hall in hot pursuit of the feline.] THAT'S IT!! NEXT PLANET YOU ARE GONE AND NO MORE CATS ALLOWED ON THIS SHIP! I AM SICK OF FLEA COVERED, SMELLY, AND JUST PLAIN AWFUL CATS ON THIS SHIP!

[This seems like a perfect time for Kuroneko to turn a corner and hide behind the legs of her new large person-shaped cat friend! Kitty has about two seconds to phase or get out of the way before Vash slams into her as he skids around the corner to continue the chase!]

Action

[passingthrough]

[Oh, she phases alright, tail wrapping around Kuroneko reflexively behind her as she phases the other cat right along with her. Then she turns since Vash is behind her now. Arms folding as she looks at him with her head cocked to the side.]

Excuse me?

Twin Roses

[pork_bowl]

<sub>[He was just getting something to eat when... well he sees the puppy hurry by and he's about to try and pet Seeker but then a big... person? Comes by? He doesn't recognize it at first. He panics, his heart leaps out of his chest, he looks terrified and he.... wait. Is that--

Come on, it's still me...]</sub>

Kitty? Is that... you?

[passingthrough]

[She comes to a stop when she sees Yuri recoil. It's not like Seeker can get away. It's a spaceship. But it does take a moment to even register what would have startled her shipmate. Strange that her first guess wasn't that she was the fear-inducing thing. Back home she usually was just by being a mutant.]

Yeah. I woke up glitched with the least subtle glitch.

[scanninggaydis]

...The Atroma have a great sense of humor.

[One of his eyebrow is so very raised.]

There was a cartoon cat named Felix back on my world, so you should probably watch out for that too.

[Action]

[cajunspice]

[Feeding his own cats in the kitchen during the day, Remy is well aware of someone heading towards the room, even without looking, able to hear them coming. And maybe even able to pick up who it was from the sound of the steps and movement, able to place those lighter steps as one of the shorter members of the crew. Not that that really eliminated a lot of them since Remy was pretty much the tallest out of the group.

Though, it was well worth a guess, and the endearment he used was pretty universal no matter who it was, even if he did typically link it to one of their captains in particular.] Greetin' petite, day treatin' ya well? [Still not having looked to confirm if he was right or not, almost as if testing himself to see if he guessed right.]

[Action]

[passingthrough]

[It was one thing to announce it to the fleet. It's another to wander around he ship where she can be seen. It's strange feeling so different and wrong. Not that it's a bad look. It's just not what usually looks back from the mirror. She heads into the kitchen and she's not alone. Might as well get used to it.]

Are you kidding? [Of course she has a reason to be incredulous considering her current state of...everything. He hasn't looked up, but he might have seen the video earlier.]

video hi I'm late

[candothat]

In a way, it's remarkable that this is the first time that this has happened to you.

I had cheetah print skin in Marina once. At least around the edges. This is definitely more than that.
