[video and action]

Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Today

[video]

[Hello, ladies. And gentlemen. And anyone in between, and anyone not any of the above. The video screen is currently showing a dripping wet, shirtless Lance. However, the baffled look on his face is enough to show that this isn't some kind of accidental broadcast of a racy video meant to be sent to one person.]

Okay, so, uh... I think I'm kind of in a pickle right now. Glitches happen here, right? I mean, obviously they do. I've never had them happen to me before, though. Buuuuuuut... So here I am, right as rain, having a totally normal day. Routine. Average. Nothing out of the ordinary. But then! Then I step into the shower--

[And he gestures around himself. He's obviously in one of the standard fleet shower stalls.]

Turn on the water, and, er... Fall. But I didn't trip, not exactly. Tripping implies you have legs to trip on.

[He tilts the camera lower on his body. Don't worry, he might be technically naked, but he's not flashing anyone. Instead of his usual long legs, he has a tail now, much like a fish's. It's a rich blue color, just as his armor is. Said tail gives a sad flop against the wet shower floor. He brings the camera back to his face. And in fact, if you look carefully, there's something much like gills on the sides of his neck.]

...Surprise?



[action]

[Once he's actually not stuck in a shower stall, Lance is much happier. Especially now that he has the entire length of the Iskaulit pool to move freely in. It's taken him a little time to get used to how to swim with his new tail and breathe properly underwater, but now that he's gotten the hang of it, Lance is nothing short of exhilarated. After all, it's always been one of his dreams to be a merman. And now, he is! He'll think about all the logistics a little later, but this is something he's definitely going to take advantage of as long as this glitch lasts.

Come say hi! Swim with him! Admire his beautiful shiny blue merman tail!]

You look...delicious. [She's not really having cat inclinations, but she couldn't help herself. Sometimes when you're turned into part cat and someone gets turned into part fish you've got to toy with them.]

(OOC: Description of her cat-like attributes under video.)

There's just one problem. [And it's apparently not that Lance is seeing someone.] Where would I get a frying pan big enough?

You're right. Frying, baking, and grilling just won't work. We don't have the resources. BUT if I added some heating elements to the Isakulit pool I could get a nice boil going.

[She should really stop. He looks scared. And yet...most fun she's had in mooooonths.]
passingthrough: (Amused - Playful)

Hunger's the best spice? Is this the best you've got? I'm deeply concerned with your ability to not get eaten now.

[Keith had just finished his workout on the Iskaulit when he saw Lance's post. What the hell? This was just the week for glitches... Kitty yesterday, Kaname today, and now Lance? He frowned. Without even responding, he headed straight back to the Huntress, and knocked on the bathroom door.]

Hey... Lance? I'm coming in.
passingthrough: (Amused - Tricky)

Well, you have time to learn. I wasn't serious. I doubt you're even kosher. [Not that she does or ever has actually kept kosher.]

[...at the rate things are going, Pete really should be concerned about whether or not he's going to suddenly have four more limbs and an extra six eyes to deal with. But for right now he's somehow not, and he's going to focus on being helpful instead.

But still this is like day three of you being on the ship, buddy. You might be cursed. And your new science officer / medic both looks and sounds a little worried, buddy.]


So...you want some help getting out? Safely?

[He seemed to be breathing fine, gills or not- it was getting out without concussing himself on the floor that had Pete concerned, here.]

Um.

[There's a pause, before Sokka raises his hands.]

Nope, nope. To weird to deal with this early in the morning, so moving on. Lance do you need like...help, or something? To get into water? Do you guys have a bath on board?

Okay, to be fair, we were just on a cannibal planet just a few months ago. It's not exactly irrelevant to our lives.

Extremely unfair and true sounds like me.

I really didn't think you'd take it so seriously. [Is that an apology? Maybe if you squint? And then think of different words? Apologetic ones?]

...in the future, "sort of" is not the qualifier I'd pick when trying to inspire confidence.

[But he'll respect your wishes...for now. Though if Lance starts flopping around on the deck he's gonna have to force the door, buddy.]

Good plan, let me know if you need help. And yeah, pretty sure the pool will work until this wears off.

Do you think you can breathe underwater?

Why would I warn you first if I wanted to do something like that? [She hates to think she'd be an inefficient monster.]
