Embarrassing him at themainframe

[changelingdude]

Hey dude,

We...gotta talk.

Ok, I get it. Surprise nudity is usually funny. I mean half the Japanese comic books you own use that as a running gag.

...BUT DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE ME FLASH THE WHOLE NETWORK?!! There are so many girls there! And Terra especially! And we JUST had that whole Sex Ed post thing...

And more...why are you so convinced I'd look sexy in girl's shorts? I mean...I know I've got a great butt. I use it all the time. But you think my legs are built like that?

...I'm starting to worry you're thinking of gender bending me dude. And that is NOT ok! Let's be clear. I am a boy. I like being a boy.

Come on dude...don't be like that.

...you can become an alligator?

[changelingdude]

I used to be able to yeah. And crocodiles. And turtles, snakes, lizards...

[bigsoftie]

It does not sound like a bad gift. But do you fear you might not change back?

[changelingdude]

Nah, I've always been able to change back. I've had those powers since I was a little kid.

...

Though I do sometimes worry about maybe losing control...did we talk about my inner monster in the game? When I lose control?

[bigsoftie]

...no. We did not.

[God does he relate...]

Though we are different, I know that fear all too well.

[changelingdude]

At some point we really ought to dude.

See there's an animal inside of me. Something powerful and primal...it kinda scares me. But I had to learn to control it to protect my friends.

I couldn't get rid of it, it's part of who I am.

[bigsoftie]

We are all too alike.

For there is a great force inside of me. There are times where I lose control. When I wake up, I am horrified by what I have done.

That is why I must not get so close. And like you, it cannot leave me.

[changelingdude]

But see...I don't like being alone.

So I can't let the thing inside drive me away from those I care about.

I need people dude.

[bigsoftie]

...there are times I wish I could not be alone either.

But I feel it is the only way.

[changelingdude]

Nah, that's the great thing about family. They love you for who you are, warts and all.

So whatever horrors we got going on inside? Having family and friends around reminds us there's good in there too.
