UNLESS IT'S A FARM

THEY CALL IT A ZOO



• Your human character is now an ANIMAL
• Your animal character is now a HUMAN
• Your alien/robot character is now WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT IT TO BE
• What does your character turn into? How do they react? Are they like this asshole panda? STAY IC AND ROLEPLAY AND STUFF
• NOTE for added lulz humans and animals can't understand each other. But animals can speak to each other a la homeward bound

[Delta pads slowly around the frog Washington, being careful to let Epsilon keep his balance.]

Perhaps York has also become an amphibian.

[edgeoflucidity]

[Yay. It's like riding a horse. Only a panda instead.]

Do you really think I'm that lucky?

Pessimist.

[encryptedlock]

[...He wants to carry his brother around all the time okay. Keeps him out of trouble.]

It is certainly possible.

[edgeoflucidity]

[About the only way to keep Epsilon out of trouble.]

Or he could be stuck as some other animal.

It's not so bad, Wash. Enjoy it. I am.

[encryptedlock]

[Delta chitters as he begins to carefully climb up some bamboo.]

Perhaps he is a giant panda. That would match my form.

[edgeoflucidity]

It would.

[Claws are tightening in surprise at the climbing red panda] Careful, Delta.

[encryptedlock]

I am careful.

[He grips the branch tightly and makes an almost human gesture for Wash to follow them.]

Come. The view is far better from here.

[edgeoflucidity]

[The froggy hesitates before following slowly. He starts moving more quickly once he realizes he's sticking] This is strange... But fun.

[encryptedlock]

[There, that looks high enough. Delta relaxes onto the branch and starts nomming on some leaves.]

Indeed. I am certain York would want me to experience it fully.

[edgeoflucidity]

Of course he would. You guys actually get along.

[The bird glares at Wash, clicking his beak.] I could hurt you like that, you know. Just one peck...

[encryptedlock]

Epsilon. [Be nice. The panda's telling you to. He turns back to regard Washington.]

He has always said that it would be easier to relate to humans if I could have my own physical body.

[edgeoflucidity]

He started it, Delta. Why are you upset with me?

So that you know how it feels. But this isn't the same. Not by a long shot.

[encryptedlock]

It does not matter who is initially at fault. You can prove yourself to be more mature by resolving the problem yourself.

[Nom nom, leaves.] No. However, it is more similar than not having a body at all.

[edgeoflucidity]

But how? Wash isn't cooperating with me. [Cooperating means doing what he says in this case.]

[have a froggy sigh.] It is similar in that way.

[encryptedlock]

Then perhaps you should cooperate with him.

[He offers a leaf to froggy Wash, careful not to let Epsilon slip off.]

[edgeoflucidity]

Why should I? He's mean.

I'm only that way because I have to be. [Reaching a foot out to the leaf.]

[encryptedlock]

[Very carefully, he holds the leaf steady so Wash can get on it if he likes.]

For example, York does not use override commands on me because I anticipate his reactions and behave accordingly.

[edgeoflucidity]

[Froggy climbing on the leaf slowly. It's still really strange for him.]

I tried to do the same for Wash, but he got angry whenever I was wrong.

[encryptedlock]

And you stopped trying?

[edgeoflucidity]

Of course. What's the point when he's going to be a jerk about things?

[encryptedlock]

[He relaxes a little, doing a panda flop on the branch.]

It is possible he will get better if you continue to try.

[edgeoflucidity]

[Little froggy finally relaxing. Delta isn't going to hurt him, and probably won't let Epsilon.]

Tired of being the only one trying. He certainly doesn't.

[encryptedlock]

[He's not, and it's a definite advantage in being bigger than both of them.]

Perhaps you would both benefit from starting anew, then.

[edgeoflucidity]

Starting anew?

That requires him cooperating, Delta.

[encryptedlock]

[He makes a light panda grumble noise. It's not that hard, guys.]

Agreeing to compromise with one another to make it more enjoyable for you both.
