[Guess who is jumping the bandwagon to try out that potion? Nepeta certainly is. She had been certain that her skills in Covert Ops were all for naught because of her appearance, but then this was presented to them.

A potion, in of itself a perfectly fine and even useful thing, but for Nepeta it was perhaps now the best time to bestow her with such a thing. not when she was questioning so much of her species, and not when she had been harboring so many unspoken desires--desires to be human. Or at the very least anything but a troll.

It really did work. Amazingly so. Her usually gray skin was instead a dark brown. Her yellow sclera had become white, gone were her fangs, horns and tail. Looking into a mirror gave her the most surreal feeling in the world...and another she couldn't quite discern. One that made her both happy and sad. She didn't allow herself to think too much on it, and decided to give it a whirl--see how many people would recognize her.

So she sat in the cafeteria with a large glass of milk and her laptop propped open as she browsed the network. Whenever someone passed by that she knew she would smile and wave at them]

[Troll or human, Marco would recognize that personality anywhere. So Nepeta gets an affectionate head ruffle. He doesn't like the idea of the potions being forced, anyone who has a problem with people being different can go fuck themselves in his book, but if it's a willing choice, that's up to the person in question. And either way, he'll act cheerful if nothing else.]

Hey there cutie, having a good day?

[moirailcompass]

[She laughs at the head ruffle and grins up at him] I am! I've been having a lot of fun with the Purfessor's potion. You're the only one who has recognized me so far.

[fierybluebird]

[More ruffles.] I'm glad you like it, eh? [Otherwise he'd kick anyone who tried to make her!]

And I'm usually very good at recognizing my friends. No matter what shape they take. [He even beat up an enemy who could blend like that and pretend to be other people and their powers. But it helps that trolls aren't too different from humans to start with.]

[moirailcompass]

Really? [Nepeta would be most interested in hearing these stories] That's purrty cool. Do you have furiends who can change their form?

[fierybluebird]

A few!

Not usually this much though, eh. I'm the only zoan in my family, so I'm the only one with two species.

[Ronnae passed by and when the girl waved she looked at her curiously and waved back a bit timidly. There was something familiar about her that she couldn't quite place, nonetheless, she still managed to move closer if anything for a greeting as she bowed low.]

Hello, are you new to the Garden?

[moirailcompass]

[Oho! It seemed like Ronnae didn't recognize her. Nepeta half contemplated pretending to be new but decided that might be a bit mean--besides her voice would probably give her away]

It's me, Ronnae!

[shiest_sunbeam]

[Ronnae blinked a few times... She was certain she hadn't seen this girl before but her voice was incredibly familiar... That's when two and two came together and she looked surprised.]

Nepeta?! Wow! I wouldn't have known!

[moirailcompass]

Ding, ding, ding! I decided to give the potion a try! What do you think?

[gogoghostpowers]

[Danny is in the cafeteria looking for a spot to sit and eat his lunch when he spots a girl waving at him. Hey, cool! He smiles and heads over to her table, sitting down.

She looks...familiar. Really, really familiar. Something about the face and the expression...]

Uh, hi there!

[moirailcompass]

[From his greeting Nepeta could tell he didn't recognize her either. She wondered if he would when she spoke.]

Hi there. How are you doing?

[gogoghostpowers]

[Ah! That's who it reminds him of! Nepeta! This girl sounds just like her, and even looks like her, too. Sort of.

That's kind of weird!]

Hi! I'm--I'm pretty good, except for some tests I've got coming up soon, heh.

Uh...do you know a girl named Nepeta? I mean--uh, sorry if that sounds weird! I just--you remind me of her, so...

[SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH, DANNY]

[moirailcompass]

[It's very hard not to laugh.]

Hmm! Can't say I do. How do I remind you of her?

[gunbladegrrl]

[And another person who has to stop and double-take, finding something curiously familiar about them.]

[moirailcompass]

[Now there is a face she hasn't seen in a while.]

Maria! [She waved more at her, gesturing for her to come over]

[gunbladegrrl]

Hey!

[And so she does, smiling, if still a bit uncertain. She has a guess, mind, but frankly would rather look dumb than guess wrong and be offensive.]

[moirailcompass]

Hee, it's me Nepeta. It's been a while, hasn't it. How have you been?

[redcinemareel]

[Grell is immersed in her notebook, copying down details of cadets she knew that took this new potion and changed dramatically. Her notes are quite impeccable to be from Grell.

Once that unfamiliar girl waves at her, Grell will simply glance at her, raise an eyebrow, and ignore that person. She should really know better by now that it may actually be a friend.]

[moirailcompass]

[Aww :(]

Grell! It's me. [She waved her hand more frantically]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell stops and looks over to her, squinting.]

...Nepeta?

[moirailcompass]

Thaaaat's me! What do you think [She gave Grell a dramatic pose]

[werepanther]

[Tom was just about to head out with a chocolate chip cookie he nicked from the end of the line when he sees... well, someone eerily familiar. Chalking it up to deja vu, he gives her a wave and heads over, finishing his cookie in the process.]

Hey. How's it going?

[moirailcompass]

Hee, purrty good. Testing out the Purfessor's potion. How's it look?

[werepanther]

[Wait, give him a minute...]

Nepeta?

Holy shit, I--- [He laughs, leaning against the table.] I didn't recognize you at all. That thing really IS magic.

[moirailcompass]

[She grinned, happy to hear him laughing and stands up to twirl around so he can see all the changes]

It really is! I barely recognize myself when I look in the mirror, it's super coo.
