17th Joke - April Fools! Come on kid, laugh.

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[He'll be around his house, dwelling on that feeling from the highway earlier and the call they just got.

Just sticking to his home for now, not caring to go out and face the world yet. Hoping to avoid his drone sister too.

All that was a trick? They turned them all against each other for a joke!?

Cruel jokes should be familiar to Aaron though. At least the nightmares found this all hilarious.

With only an hour of sunlight left, he'll give Crowe a call. Making up his mind.

Another regain came in the mail, maybe this one would be it.]]



[[Phone call to Calleo Crowe | Hackable]]

I'm ready. Are you doing okay after all that?

Comments

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

We are about to find out.

[[With that he closes his eyes and turns around. Pulling off his shirt, keeping his back to Crowe.

Yep, the pants are going next, right after he steps out of his shoes.]]

[OK WHAT JUST OCCURRED, THINGS HAVE SUDDENLY GOTTEN VERY STRANGE]

A-Aaron, what--?!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sorry, just hold on one second...

and don't panic.

[[He got down to his boxers, keeping his back turned and then it started.

At first he grew a little. Gaining a few inches in height, form getting just slightly broader, hair growing a little thicker.

Then the real change occurred, fur grows from his skin and he grows in size several more inches. Ears sprouting from the fur on his head and a bushy tail that is pinned to his back.

Slowly turning around, standing in front of Crowe, Aaron is now a werecoyote... in boxers...]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Aaron.. what... what just happened?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Makes a few guttural sounds... stops. Seems to be thinking.

He just grabs his boxers so they don't fall off after stretching and shifts back down to Aaron.]]

It happened not long before I came here. I'm still not fully sure... but I can't keep letting other people die and suffer because I'm useless.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I... but... so you're... a werewolf?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Coyote... I think. I don't really know what it is.

I didn't get bitten by a coyote as far as I know so... I don't know. Also it doesn't involve the moon. And I don't want to murder people.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

So you just... some sort of shape-shifting ability then. O-okay.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Something like that. Also, when I'm that big monster I recover from injuries at an incredible rate.

Like broken bones in minutes or hours at most.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[And here he thought you were a normal guy like him. Still, he's impressed.]

That's pretty incredible. I-I had no idea you could do things like this.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He wanted to be a normal guy.]]

I really was hoping to avoid this too. It's not normal back home, or at least I never heard of it outside of horror movies.

But, we need to do everything we can right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Really? Where I'm from... people do have powers like others do here. I don't know many, but they're out there. Maybe here, you can find someone. It seems most people have some sort of abilities, so you might not be alone.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I've noticed, there are so many strange types of powers here. Back home, no one had powers.

I don't know if I am a freak or if I somehow missed the news.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're not alone back home. The world's a big place.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and it's not like I travel much.

Still, you'd think something like that would show up on the news or something. I don't know. Maybe it's rare.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is. Where I'm from, people with superpowers make TV all the time, but I think that's because they want to be...

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I guess if people never changed in front of other people no one would know right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And who knows, maybe all those tabloids about wolfman sightings are on to something.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

That's true. I never really thought of that.

I wonder if there are werewolves or just were-coyotes back home.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Maybe someday you can find out. I don't know about any here, but I bet there is, if you investigate.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I know of a werewolf here but her world is totally different.

I guess I will see what I can find. Until then I will find a way to use this. It'll be a lot harder to kill me now.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

That's always a good skill to have.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[[He just hopes it'll work like he thinks it will.]]

I wish I trusted it more.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know enough of the why and how... I just know what it does.
