[Tobias had been in the middle of something productive--really!--when his bones began to pop. The first thing the communicator's camera sees is a hawk...like thing tumbling off of a cabinet. The device is struck with one of the creature's flailing wing...arms? And down to the ground it goes

[ Just. Horror. ]

[morphinbirdboy]

[And now the process seems to reverse!

...at least, it sounds like it.]

[nowwithlessevil]

[ oh god what ]

A-are you okay?

[morphinbirdboy]

[Some time later--the horrible noise has stopped, now--]

< ...I think so.>

[That's the sound of normal feathers ruffling, at least.]

< God, I hate that morph.>

[foxtamer]

Tobias?

[Minato sounds incredibly worried.]

[morphinbirdboy]

[That sounds like vomiting. Or dry-heaving.]

< Just a minute.>

[Tobias still sounds deceptively calm.]

[foxtamer]

[Oh ewwwww. Minato makes a face. And then... blinks a lot.]

I just heard a voice in my head.

lmfao Minato that face

[morphinbirdboy]

< That was me. I got my chip out a few days ago.>

[He seems to have stopped trying to be sick.]

[ijianomaly]

Soooo.

Chip?

Are you okay?

[morphinbirdboy]

[The partially morphed thing is snapping at Iji while it still has a hinged jaw to do so.

It then freezes--and the process starts to reverse.]

< ...yeeaaah.>

[The almost Taxxon shrinks and withers to something more hawk sized.

When the process is finished, there is just a normal hawk, flopped on the floor. He seems a bit sluggish getting up.]

< I hate that morph.>

[ijianomaly]

So that's what morphing is, huh?

[She reaches out to help him up.]

Got any more of those?

[morphinbirdboy]

< Yeah.>

[Tobias stands with Iji's help, and shakes out his feathers as if he had rolled in something nasty.]

< I do. That was one of the aliens I mentioned. A Taxxon.>

< ...glad I didn't get to the point where the thing's instincts fully kicked in.>

[morphinbirdboy]

[Sorry about that mate.]

< My apologies.>

[morphinbirdboy]

< ...did you say something?>

[It is safe to flip the comm over now. Have a regular fluffy bird looking at you.]

[neverwanna4get]

[This is just Yvon watching. Disturbed? Not in the slightest. He doesn't know this isn't normal fff.]

What's that?

[morphinbirdboy]

[Sometime after normality is achieved--]

< A Taxxon.>

1/2

[neverwanna4get]

[Brb checking his head because that sounded like it was in his brain]

[neverwanna4get]

I've never seen a bird do that before. Are you an experiment too?
