[You know that Polymorphus Potion thingamawhatsit? Well, guess who's trying it out.

Espio, for his part, rather likes the idea. Partly because it makes things things that should be simple (like, say, buying things) a whole lot easier without the fuss, and partly because it's like a second type of invisibility. He's just irked by the fact this new commander has decided it's now required when going outside of the Garden, when he's never let being a chameleon stop him from leaving the Garden before. Like he's going to obey that pointless rule. He'll use it when it suits him.

Like right now, just before and during lunchtime.

Mission: see if anyone even recognises him.

The biggest problem, though, is that his sense of balance has taken a hit. It's bound to when you suddenly gain two foot and lose a tail, bit that's only part of it - it must be the potion, Espio figures, that's giving him the occasional dizzy spell.

So, as Espio wanders around the hall, trying to get used to a completely different shape, there's the occasional thump, a yelp of surprise more than one of pain, and plenty of complaining.]

Not again!

Anyone'd think I'd forgotten how to walk!

[Here's your first sucker, Espio: Snow lifts an eyebrow at the latest thump, then heads around the corner to investigate.]

Something wrong?

No, I'm fine.

Just... kind of dizzy. It'll sort itself out in a sec.

[Snow starts to respond, then pauses. That voice sounds familiar... or at least, the attitude.]

There a reason behind it?

You could say that. Drank something I shouldn't have.

But like I said, I'll be fine.

...Espio?

[Yep. Only ONE person has THAT exact attitude.]

Is it that obvious?

No, actually. I would've figured for sure that SOME part of you would end up purple. Hair, probably.

Well, there's not a lot of humans, at least in this world, that have naturally purple hair. That's what I figure, anyway. It's supposed to make me look convincingly native, right?

[Gold. Eyes.]

Yeah, that's a good point. Guess it was a bit silly. Still, I wouldn't have recognized you except you still sound like you.

[And Damian thought he was the clumsy one! He stops and stares for a moment before folding his arms.]

Try not to land in the infirmary, klutzilla.

[Glaaare, Damian.]

Not a klutz, kid.

And like a tiny bump's enough to land anyone in the infirmary! Do I look fragile to you?

I wouldn't say fragile, just that you're wobbling a lot. If you're not careful, you'll probably trip down a flight of stairs or something.

You'd be wobbling if your entire physiology just changed!

[wait... give him a minute....]

Espio?! That slagged potion actually works?

Edited (dangit hit enter too soon |D;;) 2012-08-09 23:29 (UTC)

You caught on fast.

Yeah, it works. Seems to have side-effects, though - first time, I had a headache so bad I just ended up staying in bed 'til it wore off. I don't usually get headaches.

This time, I keep getting dizzy spells.

Huh.

[He shrugs.] If it works, it works, though it can only improve from here, I guess.... [If he looks worrisome, it's probably because for the first time, Espio's actually taller than him, and it's WEIRD.]

What's that face for?

Is it weird? Me being, well... not a chameleon?

[Grell is eating an ice cream, pistachio flavored, and spots some...new cadet? Bumping into things.]

They don't teach walking in basic training, just so you know.

[Ugh. Grell. Rather high on the list of people he doesn't want to run into when feeling dizzy and off-balance.]

Oh, good. Because shockingly, I already know how, so leaning it again would be redundant.

The proof is in the pudding, and yours is not that well done.

Yeah, well, I'm dizzy as hell, which I can't really help until it clears up!

You should have said that! Honestly.

[This banter seems pretty familiar to her.]

Have you been drinking?

If I was drunk, I'd've said drunk!

You could be one of those types that don't actually say they are!

I only drink in certain company. Said certain company is on a mission.
