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.

Well, the cessirid and the neolithid are related species, and they're nasty cave-dwelling creatures. Squibons and daggerwrists are tree-dwellers, although squibons are more jungle creatures while daggerwrists tend towards oases. I think gugs are cave-dwellers too, but from a very different planet.

Daggerwrists use their forearms as pinions and feed through tubing in that lower jaws of theirs--they use acid to liquify their prey, like certain bugs on earth. Cessirids and neolithids are psychic, and cessirids have stingers on their tentacles.

I'm not as interested in biology as some people I've known, but I do know a few things about a fair number of species.

[changelingdude]

You've really been around huh dude?

[Big grin clearly thinking this guy is the coolest person he's met today.]

[ofdrumsthesound]

*Well he is! Just the craziest as well.*

You have no idea. *Big grin.* Good, isn't it?

[changelingdude]

It's great!

[He tries to shift into one of the aliens, ending up the one with tentacles.]

Duuuuude~ Neat. It feels weird though I don't think I got his insides right.

[ofdrumsthesound]

What more information would be useful? Neolithids are the result of a parasitic species never finding a host--usually they wind up looking like the host, but with added slime and tentacles, but if they never get a host they just keep growing.

Daggerwrists eat a small creature that looks like a mole with a probosis and flaps instead of feet and drinks sap from the daggerwrist's clawmarks. Squibons are essentially octopus that learned to climb trees and move in a weird sort of summersault. *He grins.* There are other, even weirder creatures I could show you, but I'm not sure you could even become some of them.

[He changes back grinning excitedly]

Dude yes! Let's go get some pizza and you can tell me about all of them!

[ofdrumsthesound]

How much pizza can you afford? Some of my powers take a lot of energy to use . . .

[changelingdude]

I know a black and white style Noir detective who owns a Pizza Parlor, he'll hook us up no problem.

I know just what you mean. Alot of animals make me starving afterwards.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Sounds good.

*Eyeroll.* Define 'starving.' Because if you don't start eyeing passersby afterwards, you're better off than I am.

[changelingdude]

Ah...well OK I've never been THAT hungry. But I am a vegetarian so that helps.

[ofdrumsthesound]

I suppose that makes sense--you must like animals a lot.

Just be glad you don't turn into plants, then.

[changelingdude]

Tell me about it! I dunno how Poison Ivy does it!

[ofdrumsthesound]

So how do you deal with instincts when you become a carnivore?

[changelingdude]

With great difficulty. Seriously. It scared me the first time.

[ofdrumsthesound]

*He grins.* Shame I don't have that power, I'd make a good carnivore. Hell, I am a good carnivore.

Of course, insanity is involved in my case.

[changelingdude]

Heh, I was apparently a great carnivore when I went insane. Not sure how I feel about that.

[ofdrumsthesound]

You don't seem crazy to me. Not many people do, compared to myself, but still.

[changelingdude]

Insanity is relative, at least that's what Raven says.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Relative and relatives.
