[007] [action] The Boy Is The Eighth One

[byname_bynature]

[As if turning into a computer wasn't bad enough, Artemis is being further punished for keeping quiet and to himself and not commenting on the Malnosso's terrible choice in battle tactics. Because now, Artemis Fowl the Second has become one of the very things he has monitored for years: he's a kraken

[The Inugami jumps back and growls, baring his fangs at the monster that has suddenly appeared before him.]

[Insert flailing here. How could he have possibly run into a wild animal in the middle of the tow-- oh. Yes. Everyone is probably undergoing much the same as he is.]

I beg your pardon, I'm simply-- [He tries to get more of his legs under him.] --trying to get to the lake, having some difficulty.

[Growls more, then calms down a little]

What are you?

[Oh god, it's still growling--maybe he should start running before it decides to try biting off one of Artemis' tentacles. He has a feeling this wouldn't be terribly pleasant.]

[But then it starts talking to him--] Normally? I am a human male. Now... I appear to be a kraken: a large squid-like creature.

[She just sort of watches it for a while, having never seen much more than jellyfish and some fishes at the aquarium before. This is much more like something out of a sci-fi movie. Only it's just a baby. Is the mother going to wreak havoc on their town?! Maybe if she can get it out to sea and back to its mommy- (and she's probably already picturing herself on the cover of Free Willy with a mini-kraken leaping out into the ocean. it is glorious.)]

Don't get stuck Ika-chan! You can do it! Fight! Fight!

[If Artemis had been privy to this girl's thoughts, he might have had to turn his little beady eye towards her and demand to not be arbitrarily placed on the covers of movies made in the nineties. But as it stood, he would just turn his little beady eye towards her to marvel at how he's being cheered on by a woman he's never seen in his life.]

...excuse me?

[And he's not stuck! Just.... having difficulty using his legs. There was a difference. And it wasn't pathetic at all, nope.]

[byebyehalcyon]

[The more she sees, the less surprised she's going to be that these odd creatures keep speaking to her. Still, her mouth makes a quiet "O" of surprise when the boy's voice comes out of the big squid-creature.]

You're excused! It's alright Ika-chan! No need to be so polite, look! You're so close!

[byname_bynature]

I wasn't-- [Ugh, nevermind. This one has the air of not paying attention to anything other than what she'd like to see.]

I'm not close at all, I'm barely out of town. I have miles left to travel on... several more legs than I'm used to.
