no running in the halls!

[hot off the presses, this one, horrendous new clothes and all. wherever it is in the DR's apartment building that Lea's chosen to roost, that's where Isa's getting ~~yeeted~~ catapulted, quite literally. at least it had the decency to drop her outside the apartment, right? enjoy the distinct sound of someone colliding hard with the wall next to the door and crumpling into a groaning mess on the floor. there's sand on her shoes, and a familiar frisbee came with her, dropped a short distance from where she landed. knock knock, Lea.]

[EYEROLL.]

Moving a little fast, aren't you?

[that wasn't a no, though. but like, at least make out with her once before you jump straight to tentacle fingering, Lea.]

Come on, it was a joke. Although—

[ She could point out that she didn't hear a no, but... nah. She doesn't actually want to be killed today. She's going to use the tentacles to pluck another potion off the shelf, but this one doesn't have a label. It's soft blue and glowing. ]

[Isa flaps a hand at her dismissively, though she's still blushing fiercely and is amazed at herself for being so coherent, when she feels this flustered. whoops, the flustered just came out in how her wings are fluttering anxiously, and just fanned a tiny potion bottle off a nearby shelf. it hits the floor and leaves a glittery magenta splatter.]

Take the rest of it home for later if you want, but you've got a lot of ground to cover before I'm up for that.

Joke. Relax.

[ Stop it! She's turning pinker and she's aware of it! But she'll stop harassing Isa. She doesn't even slide those tentacles along the wings like she really wants to, and instead takes a sip from the new glowing bottle. ]

[thank god, because if she had everything in the room would be broken now, including Lea's face.]

I can't believe you're drinking another one. I'm gonna have to go find a bucket to carry you out of here in.

It's not like I'll turn into a puddle. I can't believe you quit at one, it's not even that much.

[ She blinks and her eyes are back to normal, but parts of her hair, hidden under the larger locks, seem to be tipped in blues. ]

[oh good, she can see how red Isa's face still is. Isa scowls a little and moves back to the shelf with the other potion she'd been considering. also just a hair color change, yawn.]

Fine, I'll do the other one I found. But I got way more with that first one than you did, five entirely new body parts.

I think two of those count as a set.

[ Just sayin'. Also this is the bird potion, and those tufts of blue are actually macaw feathers. ]

Arms count as a set too, but I still have two of them to get you in a headlock with.

[oh. well, whatever. here she goes with her second potion, the whole thing because what is moderation. her hair turns into a thick lion's mane almost immediately, though still blue, with matching ears popping up behind and slightly further out than the antennae, and whoops, her coiled fairy dragon tail turned into a coiled and pissed off snake. at least the fire-breathing goat head isn't a thing yet.]

[ Oh shit. Lea's eyes light up because she obviously thinks this is the coolest thing ever. Although she does look a little ridiculous with the weird fairy dragon parts remaining. But still. ]

The snake is overkill, but. Can I get a picture?

[ She's already reaching for her phone with the tentacles. ]

[Isa heaves the most long-suffering sigh, but flaps one hand in a "go ahead" gesture before folding her arms. it's worth noting that her hair still has a shitload of fairy dust on it.]

If anything else of mine changes I'm leaving, this is getting ridiculous.

[ Hell yeah! She'll have to use her human hand for the actual picture taking, but she seems to be getting more comfortable with the tentacles as the minutes pass. ]

Hey, you're the one that drank a second potion. It'll probably wear off soon. Ish.

Nuh-uh, you goaded me into the second one, so it's your fault.

[admittedly it's never taken very much to get Isa to do something like that, if it's at Lea's nudging. "hey, you should get your ears pierced." "okay" "wait, really?" Isa's gazing thoughtfully at that tentacle hand again, better distract her before everyone gets flustered again.]

Isn't it always my fault?

[ She's gonna move over to get another selfie with Isa, especially since she's noticed the sugary fairy dust sparkles. Here's hoping Isa doesn't spot them in the camera. ]

Yes, but this is extra your fault.

[this day of absurdity is catching up with her, clearly. instead of just shutting down, her usual filter that would keep her from being horny and/or sulky is gone. she doesn't spot the sparkles, mostly because she's too distracted by the feathers she can see in Lea's hair. gonna just... tweak one, gently.]

[ Lea jumps at the feeling and whips her head to the side to stare at her. ]

That felt super weird.

[Isa just looks smug, and her snake tail might be trying to bite Lea on the ass.]

Good, it serves you right.

Like skin-pulling weird, it— Hey, hey! Don't make me do it again.

[ She's brandishing her tentacle arm like a weapon. ]

[it's not a threat if she'd enjoy it, Lea. and speaking of threats, Isa has her mouth open to respond, but then tilts and almost falls into several potion shelves from the sudden weight of one of her wings turning into a goat head and neck. it belches a little bit of smoke, and then yells derisively at Lea.]

[ Holy fuck, she is rolling out of the way of that and closer to the door, because she doesn't know what the fuck is going on. Once she realizes it's part of Isa and not necessarily a threat she just stares, but it's more concern than anything. ]

Are you okay?

[in response, she covers her face with her hands. she's making a muffled noise, and her shoulders are shaking, but is she laughing or crying or both? or maybe another type of animal head is going to burst out of her somewhere, who even knows. the goat head is now attempting to chew on Isa's hair.]

Hey.

[ Partly at Isa, to get a response, and partly at the goat head. She makes a face at it that's very done with ur shit, then inhales deeply, scratchily, and... blows a puff of her own smoke at the head. Establish dominance, that's what u do. ]

[is it though. Isa risks a look between her fingers, and friend, you are doin' me a concern, why was that your reaction. this is actually hell, isn't it, she's died again and this is hell. muffled: ]

We have to leave this room immediately.

[ Honestly, she was trying to get its attention so it would leave Isa alone and she didn't know how else to communicate. Also look at me, I have fire powers too!! ]

Let's go then.

If this shit doesn't disappear when we leave I'm removing it myself.

[whatever her previous reaction was is gone now and has been replaced by stony disgruntlement. it's still not actual anger or freaking out, at least.]
