That's great, mun! I'm glad you guys finished the log, I think it'll be a great prologue to what you guys have got planned.

But uh, about the other stuff you two were talking about, do we really have to go through with it? I mean, just because we have a penchant for "Amusing injuries" as you put it...

I'm not complaining, I'm just asking you to think through it? I don't really want to be a news headline, even if I would be fine.

[Do you seriously doubt the driving capabilities of a platypus, Chris? ~~Not bothering to hide himself since he's pretty sure he's referring to the bit where he stops Chris from dying~~]

"Injuries"?

Chris, are you hurt? If you are then we should probably find a medic.

[He's not actually, he's referring to other plotting. He'd be willing to explain, though. ~~Good thing he's experienced with reading nonverbal communication.~~]

A platypus? [Momentary surprise, and then he smiles.] Ohh, Perry, right? My brother's mun has someone like you around.

Oh, hey Saft. No I'm not injured, it's nothing to worry about. My mun and Martin's just have some... ideas of "shenanigans" for us to get into when we test out our Creature Power Suits in the city. [Nothing different than in the series, really. These guys are good at getting themselves hurt ~~in rather cartoony fashion~~.]

[~~It still involves amusing injuries, so good enough.~~

Anyway, "someone like"? He's not quite sure if you mean he has some platypus lying around or if Doofenshimrtz somehow cloned him in his sleep... or the third option that it's him from another universe/dimension.]

[Probably closer to the third option, really.]

[Well better than the cloning.

So since he can't really ask questions about what he's talking about, he points to Chris with a quizzical look and hopes he gets the idea.]

[Chris sighs and shakes his head a little, though despite the original post he seems more bemused than anything else.]

Oh, when we get around to testing out our Creature Power Suits after changing the way they work, my mun and Martin's have the idea for us to get into... trouble. [Eyeroll.] Painful trouble.

[Blame the show. They do it to themselves half the time.]

[He really has no idea what a Creature Power Suit is, so he continues to give Chris a confused look.]

[He keeps forgetting about this, really.] This thing. [A gesture to the vest he's wearing.] It lets me and my bro transform into animals, except it usually takes touching the related animal even if we've used it before. But in the city this is gonna change, so all we need is the disk. [One of which he holds up, as an example.] There's gonna be a LOOOOT of testing after the tweaking's done.

Which is where the trouble starts...

[That's kind of cool, he'll admit. Don't mind him as he gets closer to you to examine it.]

[He has absolutely no problem with it. In fact he moves to one knee to be more on Perry's level, letting him examine it more closely.]

[Gives a quick salute as a "thank you" and moves to touch the vest. While he figures that he can't completely figure out how it works ~~Chris seems considerably less chatty about how his inventions work than Doofenshmirtz~~ there's no harm in trying to learn more about this thing, right?]

[~~Not that Chris completely knows how it works anyway, that's Aviva's department.~~ He watches Perry with a slight smile, then chuckles a bit.]

Wanna see a demonstration?

[Why not? Too bad Martin's the one with platypus powers, but surely he can figure out a different, but equally as good, one to show off.]

[Nods. It sounds pretty interesting, besides he's pretty used to seeing demonstrations for these types of things.]

[Chris grins and stands up, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out several data disks of different colors.] Let's see here, what'd be a good one... Ah! This is perfect!

[The others are put away and this one is slid into the pawprint on his chest. With a smile at Perry he hits the button and is overtaken by a green light. The basic shape of his upper half stays the same save for the addition of a large pair of ears, but the lower half changes drastically with the legs and feet elongating, and a thick tail growing out behind him. When the light fades he's in a kangaroo form, bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet.]

There, see? Powers of the red kangaroo! [Since kangaroos can't actually go backwards he turns and hops away a bit, then flips around and braces himself with his tail, kicking the back feet up into the air like a real kickboxing kangaroo. When he comes back down he looks at himself, then snickers a bit.] Well, the species is red kangaroo, even if I'm not. [Red kangaroo, green kangaroo, it's all the same.]

[Stumbles back. After being stunned for a few moments but soon gives Chris an applause.]

[He laughs a bit, scratching behind one ear and closing the eye on that side.] Thanks.

[Then he smiles brightly.] We love using the suits, and do so every chance we get. [Just for the sake of it he effortlessly hops a circle around Perry as he talks, returning to his starting point within a few moments.] It really helps us get into the mind of a creature, and figure out how they work. Sometimes literally.

[Gives Chris an unsure look. The "literally" bit makes it sound like you're cutting animals heads open.]

What? Oh come on, I meant with me and Martin. [He shrugs.] So the food responses in these suits happen to be a little strong, that's all...

[Only with you, Chris. Martin had one incident, I've lost count of yours.]

[Looks relieved, at least he probably doesn't have to worry about being sliced open in the future.]

[Like he'd ever do that in the first place. He MUCH prefers studying live animals, thank you very much.]

[Well you never know. You know about those people who claim to be animal lovers but abuses them behind camera.]

[Yeah and if he did that he'd have been tossed out on his ear ages ago, by his brother if not by himself. ...You heard me.

This guy's all about making sure animals are safe, happy, and living free and in the wild.]

[Yeah, well he doesn't live in the wild, nor is his life really safe, so that might be hard with him.]
