driftfleet | OPEN : AUGMENT MALFUNCTION

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!]

[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.

[There's a legitimate concern there. ]

Well, that is a relief at least. So this is very likely not permanent.

If I thought it was I would be having a completely different set of emotions about it. [Tail twitching back and forth in the background.]

That I can believe. [And so, he finally relaxes a little about it. ] So, are you feline fine now?

[A sigh.] I thought I'd escaped. Okay, what else have you got?

Only a reprieve, mon chaton.

[She opened the floor to puns and he is taking the offer. ]

You have to give Atroma points for getting their purrns just right. We should give them a round of apaws.

I'm questioning purrns for the record, but you stuck the landing. [It's too much to hope it's over, isn't it?]

Then that is good enough for me.

[She should be infinitely glad he comes from a point in time before a great deal of cat-metaphors were coined. ]

So, how do you feel? No ill effects, I hope?

[That would be a CATastrophe!]

Mostly the same as usual. I thought the fur would be warmer, but it's not too bad. The tail's a taking some getting used to. So are the claws and I already bit myself twice.

[Real claws for alarm. ]

Ouch. And no inexplicable craving for fish? Or the desire to chase small rodents?

Ew, Lumy. Come on. [She looks disgusted but there's a thoughtful pause before she lowers her voice.]

...I have licked myself a few times.

The Master used to hunt deer, it's a legitimate question.

[Animal instincts, and all that. ]

Well that's- I'm trying very hard not to make a filthy joke about that, it's very difficult.

I appreciate your restraint. Are you okay? Does it feel like you're straining anything?

I think I'm getting a headache from it all, honestly. Poor me.

I can see my transformation is really difficult for you. Can I get you anything? Should I talk about using my powers for full penetration?

[ Oh, Kitty, that gets a loud laugh out of him. Give him a minute to compose himself/.]

Well, I think I know when I'm beat.

I'm both proud and ashamed of myself then!

That's the right way to think!

Oh good. I've been doing it right for a long time then. [Kidding. Mostly.]

I just know I'm going to be nicking myself with these things all day. [Displaying her claw nails.]

You could always clip them? I'm sure that won't hurt as much as it probably looks.

[He's so comforting, wow.]

We'll see how it goes. Maybe a little filing. Cats never seem to like it when you do it to them, but it shouldn't hurt, right?]

Having never had giant cat claws to file down, I can't really make an executive call on that on, mon chaton.

Did you just call me giant? [Eyebrow raised.]

I called the claws giant, there is a subtle difference.

You should be careful what you call a lady with claws, giant or otherwise. [As if she'd ever hurt her formerly waxy friend.]
