Apr 10, a balcony

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:10 pm

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

by **Stan Bowen** » 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.

by **Will Stanton** » 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.

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:25 pm

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

by **Will Stanton** » 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.

by **Stan Bowen** » 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.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:44 pm

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

"Whazzis?" she asked, puzzled.

by **Stan Bowen** » 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.

by **Will Stanton** » 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?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:09 am

Stan nodded.

"Just like Bobby, when he manifested."

by **Will Stanton** » 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.

by **Stan Bowen** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:24 pm

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

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:27 pm

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

by **Stan Bowen** » 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?"

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:51 pm

Stan nodded.

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

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 11:54 pm

Stan laughed at that.

"He better get used to disappointment, then."

by **Will Stanton** » 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?"

by **Stan Bowen** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:43 am

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

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:45 am

Stan thought a moment.

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

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:47 am

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

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 1:05 am

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

"Here we are.."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 1:07 am

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

by **Stan Bowen** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:00 pm

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

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:01 pm

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

by **Stan Bowen** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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.

by **Stan Bowen** » 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.."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:30 pm

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

by **Stan Bowen** » 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.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:15 pm

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

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:48 pm

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

Smiling, he made a couple adjustments.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:56 pm

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

by **Stan Bowen** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 10:07 pm

"For how long, do you think?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 10:10 pm

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