polymorphus

[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?

[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.
bratbeyond: ([damian] confused)

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.
bratbeyond: ([damian] that looked painful)

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

Espio?! That slagged potion actually works?

[personal profile] bratbeyond 2012-08-09 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]
bratbeyond: ([robin] analyzing)

[personal profile] bratbeyond 2012-08-10 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. You're just taller than me for once. That's what's weird.
bratbeyond: ([robin] absolutely not)

[personal profile] bratbeyond 2012-08-10 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
You'd be confused too if you actually had to look up at someone instead!

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

There a reason behind it?
haha_steelguard: (what?!)

[personal profile] haha_steelguard 2012-08-10 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
...Espio?

[Yep. Only ONE person has THAT exact attitude.]
haha_steelguard: (hand behind head)

[personal profile] haha_steelguard 2012-08-10 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
No, actually. I would've figured for sure that SOME part of you would end up purple. Hair, probably.
haha_steelguard: (ha ha)

[personal profile] haha_steelguard 2012-08-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
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.
bratbeyond: ([robin] lineface king)

[personal profile] bratbeyond 2012-08-10 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Tt, I still think it's weird. It might've happened to you back home, but things were pretty sane back in Neo-Gotham.

The most we got were obnoxious magicians.
haha_steelguard: (happy quite sincerely)

[personal profile] haha_steelguard 2012-08-10 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know how. That attitude's pretty distinctive.

Still... wow. That's some magic. You're pretty convincing.

[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.
