I give you great big hug, comrade mun! We are not seeing each in what seems like very many periods of Sundays!

[I don't think that's how you say it, Exile...].

But now that I am here, what are you planning to be doing with me?

[...I'm not entirely sure...]

Well, I am greatly excited for whatever we do, as long as it is not taking away from Road Rover duties. If I can still help my comrades, I am doki-okie.

[...We'll see...]

((canon is Road Rovers))

[Exile isn't the only one picking up scents. Thanks to a T-devil's superior olfactory senses, Chris can smell him too, and his nose twitches a little as he inhales twice in short succession. Dog, slight touch of human, and a taste of an odor that brings to mind cars and other motor machinery. Neat.

He's careful not to move from the spot while he's under inspection, but he does turn his head to track Exile as he walks around. And Chris can't help it, but he's smiling fairly brightly himself. The energy coming from that tail wag is infectious.]

[lambs_jiffy]

[Once he's gotten a good look, Exile stands in front of Chris again, thoroughly impressed.]

Your suit is incredible device to be doing such a thing...

[He would know. He's seen some pretty amazing machines.]

But...I am deeply sorry for breaking suit.

[Ears flattened and tail between the legs; the perfect picture of a regretful dog.]

[beingthecreature]

[Okay wait, time to fix this. He steps to Exile and places a hand on his shoulder, tapping the paw pad with the other.]

Hey, don't worry about it! You should have seen the damage done to it by the tazzy that gave me this transformation in the first place.

[Then his smile softens, and his voice to match.] It's okay. This is more than fixable by my teammate. You did nothing permanent, whatsoever.

[And finally a brighter tone, as he laughs and folds his arms, shrugging, then grinning- and perfectly showing off the snagglefangs T-devil power gives him.] Besides, I love Tasmanian devils. I don't mind this at all.

[lambs_jiffy]

[The reassurance perks Exile up a little - enough that he manages a smile and slight tail wag, at least.

And enough that he's able to ask more questions, apparently.]

What...what is it like, being different animals?

[Only being able to switch from dog to Cano-sapien, the idea of being something else was certainly an interesting one.]

[beingthecreature]

Oh, it's incredible! [He laughs softly, and grins.] The sensory world of animals is so different from what humans- [And in deference to current company] -and even dogs experience. My brother and I have been everything from birds, to reptiles, even fish!

It's an experience like nothing else, I'll tell ya that.

[lambs_jiffy]

I am believing you. It is sounding like quite good times. But how is suit able to changing to so many animal forms?

[beingthecreature]

Oh, well! Normally the suits have disks that carry the creature information on them. Whenever we want to transform then we put the disk in the suit, and activate them by taking on some of the animal's DNA, via touch.

Now, they've been altered a little in the place that my brother and I were sent by our muns so that we don't need the DNA, but otherwise it's pretty much the same concept.

[lambs_jiffy]

[Exile processes this information, his tail once again wagging at such an exciting prospect.]

What other kinds of animals have you been turning into?

[beingthecreature]

Lots! [He giggles, then starts counting them off on his claws.] Gazelle, wolf, dolphin, golden orb weaver spider, peregrine falcon, thorny devil, boss kangaroo... I could go on and on.

[lambs_jiffy]

[If he wasn't before, Exile is very impressed by now.] That is quite long list!

So when you are becoming spider, are you gaining extra legs too?

[beingthecreature]

Sort of, yeah! [Since the suit's glitching doesn't affect the creature pod in the glove, he activates the popup screen to show a few video scenes of spider suit in action.]

A lot of the suits give us extra locomotion choices, and spider was one of those. It was actually kinda easier, unsurprisingly, to walk on the extra legs that came with the suit than to only use our own two feet.

[lambs_jiffy]

[Exile's ears perk up at the sudden holographic screen, and he follows the trail of light down to its source.]

What is this thingy now?

[Exile, you're not a cat. Curiosity you know...]

[beingthecreature]

My creature pod. [He smiles, deactivating the screen and pulling it out of its place on the glove, holding it out in his flat palm so Exile can see it better.]

It's a communications device, as well as a handy way for us to access the ship's library.

[lambs_jiffy]

Very nice...Such a thing would be good to have at HQ...

[He's just itching to pick it up and get a better look at it. But after what he did to the suit, he figures it's better if he doesn't.]

[beingthecreature]

[It's okay Exile, you can take it. He breaks them all the time.]

Yeah, they are pretty handy. So what do you guys use to keep in contact in the field, if anything?

[lambs_jiffy]

[Nope, he's still afraid to pick it up. It's okay, he can look at it in Chris' hand...er, paw?]

Well usually we are all staying together. So other than radios in jet or walkie-talkie sets, we aren't having any devices for keeping contact if we are separated.

[Which is why they could probably use one.]

We do have tracker in collars, though. [Here, he points to the dog tag hanging from his neck.] If we are separated and some of us in trouble, the others will know and come finding us.

[beingthecreature]

Oh, that's a good idea. [The hand holding the creature pod closed around it and pointed at Exile with the emphasized word, and he snickered a little.]

There's trackers in the creature pods buuuut... they don't work all the time. [If ever.] Especially if we're miniaturized.

[lambs_jiffy]

Maybe you are needing collar too?

[There's a lot of teasing in that grin.]

[beingthecreature]

[He laughed, rolling his eyes with a wry smile as he slipped the creature pod away.]

Don't think it hasn't been suggested.

[lambs_jiffy]

[Exile laughs.]

With all your transforming animals, I am surprised is not done yet.

[beingthecreature]

Yaknow, it's not even that. [He snickers a bit.] To date, we haven't really done any domestic animals...

It's more that, if you ask certain members of our crew, my brother and I can be a little hard to... [His hands work a little as he tries to find a word.] Manage.

[lambs_jiffy]

[He laughs again.]

I have comrade much like that. If that is case, then collar will nyet help.

[beingthecreature]

[A snicker, and he gestures slightly at his neck.]

Hence the total lack of one, so far.

[lambs_jiffy]

You should consider putting tracker in suit. Since you are always having it all the time...

[beingthecreature]

You know, I think that's something Aviva was thinking of doing. [He thought a moment, then chuckled.] Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if somehow she had already.
