Issue 1 Downtime

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:10 pm**

Will was scratching her arm frustratingly as she looked out over the landscape.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:16 pm**

Stan was doing some laps in the sky, and he angled down once he saw Will out in the open.

"Itchy?" he asked as he landed and shifted to human form.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:17 pm**

"Mind bogglingly so. And a little hot, too."

Despite this, Will was still a tad frozen from the liquid nitrogen, although no longer dangerous to touch.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:25 pm**

"Possibly some freezerburn from the liquid nitrogen.. Let me take a look."

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:27 pm**

"Would make sense..." she agreed, rolling up a sleeve.

No freezer burn, though it did feel like she had been in the walk-in freezer.

Stan, however, had some experience with shifters, in his son, and, while it might be too faint to be visible with the naked eye under most circumstances, he might just be able to make out some slight ripples in the flesh, moving around.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:39 pm**

"Hmm.. faint Whitney ripples.."

Stan peered closer, digging out a small spyglass lupe he had found in a storeroom inside.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:44 pm**

Indeed, Whitney ripples! All over the arm, at the very least.

"Whazzis?" she asked, puzzled.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:49 pm**

"It's a symptom common to shapeshifters, who suddenly experience a new phase shift to something more liquid-like. Your body is suddenly composed of something more unstable then what you are used to, and your regular degree of control isn't sufficent to keep solid."

Stan shifted the lupe to the other arm, peering through.

Posted: **Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:50 pm**

Yup, over here, too.

"Well, bad deal.

When I kinda reformed, I was...well, basically a standing, 3D puddle of water thing. Would that be related?"

Posted: **Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:09 am**

Stan nodded.

"Just like Bobby, when he manifested."

Posted: **Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:12 am**

"Oh, so you've dealt with this before then?" Will said, somewhat relieved.

Anywhere Stan would move the glass, more ripples would appear.

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:24 pm**

"Indeed. Once we get back, We should be able to effectively deal with your shift.."

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:27 pm**

"That's good. My...let's say double...doesn't think me standing here should be possible."

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:32 pm**

Stan chuckled.

"We always underestimate what we can do when we put our minds to something. I mean, who would have thought we would have survived a dystopian future, up to now?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:37 pm**

"This is true," she smiled. "And, frankly, future me can go...well, I have a list of things he can do."

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:51 pm**

Stan nodded.

"Just know that he wants the best for you. His life depends on it."

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:55 pm**

"No, he wants my wife," she frowned. "He thinks I'm kinda worthless, and he's pissed I did something he can't."

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2010 11:54 pm**

Stan laughed at that.

"He better get used to disappointment, then."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:26 am**

"That's what I'm hoping," she smiled.

"So, your professional opinion is I'm going to be fine?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:41 am**

"Yes. But we should be able to find something here to stabilize you.. We are in the lair of a scientific genetics genius."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:43 am**

"What are we talking about, some kind of formula or something, like, physical?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:45 am**

Stan thought a moment.

"Follow me. I think I saw something in a storage room.."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:47 am**

"Sure thing," she said, falling in step behind Stan.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 1:05 am**

A little while and several corridors later, Stan stood before a storage closet.

"Here we are.."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 1:07 am**

"I think I've already come out of the closet, though," she chuckled.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 1:18 am**

Stan chuckled, opening the door.

Inside was a thin pressure suit, designed to resist sudden atmospheric changes.

"This should help. For now, until we can get you on a proper mental discipline program, we need to keep you in a humanoid shape so you can relax you mind, not worry about holding your shape."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 1:18 am**

"So, you want me to wear a spacesuit, huh? Well, I suppose if you think that would help."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:00 pm**

"I think it will. Just look at it as a study coverall. You should be okay."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:01 pm**

"I don't suppose you have something more flattering?" she teased.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:02 pm**

Stan smirked.

"Just get in- it should be self adjusting, like in that Back to the Future movie."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:03 pm**

Will opened the back of the suit, and squeezed in--a bit oddly, actually, as she was conforming to the shape of the suit almost as much as vice-versa.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:14 pm**

Once Will was inside, more or less, Stan activated a switch on the side, causing the panels to constrict and stiffen. Will would find himself just about regular size, and the added servos in the joints made movement fairly easy as well.

"Try it out for a little bit.."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:30 pm**

"It's a little funky. I'm not Tony Stark," she said, moving around a bit.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:12 pm**

"It's just temporary, until we get back home."

Stan circled Will, having him step in place and raise his arms, and then do some jumping jacks.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:15 pm**

"You just like watching," Will teased, as she went through the motions.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:48 pm**

"Correction: I like keeping you alive until we get back home."

Smiling, he made a couple adjustments.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:56 pm**

"That's good, too," she laughed, as Stan fixed the suit up.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:59 pm**

Stan finished the tweaking until he was satisfied.

"Ok, the suit has your parameters set. just hit the red release patch, and it will fall away so you can do what you do- I'd recommend staying inside the suit as much as possible, though."

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 10:07 pm**

"For how long, do you think?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2010 10:10 pm**

"Most of the day, and when you are sleeping. treat it like a cast, for all purposes."
