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!]

What? You don't want an extensive anatomy lesson? The implant gave me knowledge of bones and ligaments I didn't know had names, I could bore you to death with all of them.

[Maybe he'll just set that one aside for a time he might need to torment her with unnecessary physiological knowledge.]

Does the Twin Roses not have the cleaning machine things around?

That sounds tibialating. [Blending the bone "tibia" and the word "titillating" in an unholy matrimony and fully expecting him to enjoy it.] Rain check. [She might actually enjoy it. She is a knowledge nerd after all.]

Oh, it does. I just miss the crew that used to...command them?*

(OOC: *I think. Unless there are no such machines if you don't have a maintenance person. In which case they don't. I've only been here over two years. Why would I know how things work?)

Oh, that was awful.

[Because everything he was just torturing her with certainly wasn't.]

But very well.

You're jealous you didn't think of it first. [Both things can be true.]

Admit it.

Absolutely.

[She just laughs.]

Okay, well, if you're a good boy maybe I'll visit the Tourist sometime while I'm still like this. Just try to keep yourself together if I do.

I'm afraid I might just vibrate out of my skin with excitement, but I'll see what I can do if you grace us with your presence.

That would be quite a sight. It should be worth it for that. See you around?

Of course. You'd miss me otherwise.

[He winks before cutting the feed.]
