It feels greedy to ask you for another 100 words because you already wrote so many (115!!!) awesome drabbles and I would have voted for Work anyway, but I´d be very very happy if you continued this series! Or the Furniture one. *hopeful look*

So now the chemists are in on the action, formulating bath crayons that'll be safe for Rodney and write legibly on the glass-like walls of the tank.

Once Rodney can communicate, John won't have any reason to stick around. He's surprised no one's mentioned yet that he's not exactly bringing any unique talents to bear.

Though Rodney seems curious about his new body now. He hesitantly winds a tentacle-tip around John's ankle. Soon John's snorkeling alongside him, offering a hand, a foot, the other hand for Rodney to tap, showing he can both see and find each target.

Other people req'd more of this one too, so I've updated the story post! And I'll keep updating as I write more. :D

I wish I could vote to make you write more. ;)

Since we won, I'm going to try to finish it. :D

not-quite-octopus-Rodney is made of awesome - more of that story line would be serious fun!

almostnever June 2 2010, 11:41:20 UTC

Tell me you voted for Team Work, and I'll write you another 100 words of it. :D

droolfangrrl June 2 2010, 14:06:32 UTC

I voted too!

Chun talks John through the strangeness into familiarity with Rodney's cephalopod form. The crinkly delicate skin covers powerful ropey limbs. Chun has Rodney squeeze a stress ball, and Rodney cinches it almost in half.

Rodney's pale and speckled tan; John wonders if human-Rodney has freckles. His chromatophores shift colors wherever John touches, mimicking the pinkish bronze of John's own skin. There's something strangely intimate about it, the hue bleeding from John to cephalo-Rodney.

John has to hop out eventually, waterlogged, with grooves on his face from the snorkeling mask. "I'll be back tomorrow, pal."

Rodney signals, Yes.
