mole people

Who: Mondo and you
What: He's turning into a giant mole. A mondo mole.
Where: All over the school, really.
When: June 28th or June 29th.
Warnings: GROTESQUE CHANGES INTO MONSTERS


The heat must have been getting to him because he'd collapsed somewhere in the courtyard after a throbbing headache that practically blew his mind into the worst migraine of his life. He went to go chill out on one of the benches but uh, welp. Guess he fell asleep? Maybe falling unconscious was more apt. Either one was pretty concerning, because he wasn't tired. The headache still lingered, though, but it wasn't half as bad. He pulled himself together and walked back in the direction of the bake sale, half wondering whether he'd find Fujisaki there or not. Maybe Ishimaru? There was a mixture of dread and anticipation stirring within at the thought of either person, for different reasons.

An itch erupted on his ankle. Not just any itch, but the kind that screams to be put out, so you impulsively shoot your arm in the direction and get to scratching good and hard. That's what Mondo did; he bent down and reflexively scraped his fingertips over the area. And holy shit, it was the best damn scratch he'd ever given himself, the kind that really digs into the skin and scrapes all the dead irritated skin away. So good that he even told himself mentally that wow, his nails never felt so long and pointy and-

Long and pointy? Now that's weird. Sure didn't feel like his hand. Could you even really call those daggers a hand? Wrinkling his brow, he tore his hand away from his ankle and had all of a second to question why his nails felt so different against his skin because the reason was so overpoweringly obvious that his skin wasn't the only thing screaming now. A sharp cry of astonishment broke out of his throat.

His nails were... long. No, he didn't neglect to cut them, and even if he had, they'd never get like this. The cuticle had extended down the matrices of his fingers like the skin had peeled away to reveal sets of killer claws that lay dormant underneath. Not nails, claws. He felt like his blood temperature had dropped below zero just staring at them. It froze him to the spot.

Until, of course, he bolted for a mad feverish dash to his dorm room.

((OOC: Here's how this will work! You can snag Mondo at any time during either the first two days he's transforming. It would help me greatly if you were specific with the date and time, but no worries if you leave time a bit ambiguous. I'll also be conjuring top-level threads with prearranged scenarios you can find him in while he's transforming so you don't have to do the work having to guess what Oowada's doing and where. A good guess, though, is that he's holing himself up in his room trying to deal with the problem but failing. I probably don't need to say this, but the second day he will start to look really really strange- imagine a cross between this and this. I'll probably be helpful and describe the changes a little more in-depth while we thread.))

If not for the warning sounds of the claws against the doorknob, he might have jumped at the sudden entrance. He'd grown accustomed to loud and disruptive entrances when he was trying to study, sure, but nothing to this level. He was so surprised, in fact, that he completely forgot to remove and hide the reading glasses he'd been too proud to admit even to his own brother that he needed. FDC had a really speedy optometrist.

It made the problem all the more obvious as he stared at Mondo's hands in disbelief. He stood abruptly, knocking his chair over in the process but not really caring for now.

"What... What?!"

He took the hands in his own, part of his mind refusing to accept that these were a human's hands he was looking at - Mondo's hands, which he knew were just fine earlier.

"What is this!? We need to get you to a doctor at once!"

Wow, property damage. Kiyotaka would make sure to kick up a fuss after this whole issue was dealt with. It... definitely would be fixed, right? It might need some simple corrective surgery at the most, but it was just his fingers, and nothing that would suddenly affect his entire body. HA HA. HA.

He took the clippers and Mondo's left hand to examine it a little more thoroughly. "I will do this for you, but you have to remain calm! Panicking isn't going to solve anything right now! Not only that, but I need you to be still so I don't injure you!"

How was he even supposed to do this? Those claws were long, but he wasn't sure how far he could trim them before hitting a nerve. Or worse. He pressed his palm against Mondo's to serve as a guide for where normal human fingertips would be and began trimming what he could, but they were tougher and thicker than fingernails ought to be. He pressed as hard as he could on the clippers, gritting his teeth in concentration.

"How did this start?"

DAY ONE

[personal profile] worstjock 2013-07-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
A bald guy with pink sideburns wanders past you. He is crying.
worstjock: (Sobbing)

[personal profile] worstjock 2013-07-04 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
The man who you just called baldy goes from 'crying' to 'sobbing.'

He turns around, "I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAALD AND I HAVE NO HAAAAAAAIR AND I'M COOOOOOOLD" he manages to blurt in his pain.

"I TURNED INTO. A. WOOPER," said Jock in between sobs. "A TINY. SLIMY. HAIRLESS. LIZARD-THING. THAT LIVES. IN. MUUUUUUUUUUUUD."

The tears, they won't stop coming. His eyes are using water gun

This shouldn't have been possible in the first place, but Kiyotaka was also recalling the cursed springs, and denying things simply for being outrageous was proving itself to be more and more difficult the longer he stayed at this school.

"There's no way anybody would do something like this! It's some freak occurrence..." There was an unmistakable doubt in his voice; something else he found harder to do was to believe in the better nature of people after seeing their darkest sides, the worst of themselves that they had to offer. He hated thinking like that and refused to admit it to himself. No, if anything, this had to be like the spring and maybe Mondo had touched something weird that... did this.

Bit by bit, the clippers made it halfway down the middle claw before breaking apart. Kiyotaka hissed as the sharp end hooked into the soft flesh between his thumb and forefinger before tumbling to the ground.

"This is no use! They're too thick! Surely the doctor has something better to trim them with, anyway!"

"I told you to calm down! We'll go right away! It won't be very long at all! I promise... alright? So believe me!"

It would certainly take a lot less time if he didn't have to stop to do up his ridiculous boots by the door. He could usually do them in good time, but it was like he was trying to cut his record time in half.

"Is there anything else? It will save time if you don't have to think about it when the doctor asks!"

"Maybe you're turning into a drillbur or a sandslash," said Jock, sniffling. "They're ground types that dig in the ground with claw hands."

There was a pause. "Now I'm a ground type, too," and the crying began afresh.

Oh, crap. He hadn't even realized that he forgot to take them off in the commotion. He did so now, lips pressed together in a thin line. He didn't expect to be able to hide them from Mondo forever, but at least his pride would have been given plenty of time to prepare for the big reveal if the two of them kept on awkwardly avoiding each other.

...He didn't want that tension between them anymore. As horrid and grotesque as it was, at least it had served to mend... whatever the hell had happened after that night of weird revelations. At least for now.

Although he wasn't sure he was ready to have Mondo leaning so close to him just yet.

"I have had these for a week... they're just reading glasses," he dismissed the topic as quickly as it came. "They're not important right now!"

Or were they? If Mondo was squinting like that and complaining of headaches (which were definitely unrelated to his new claws, since it started beforehand)... But what were the odds?

"Are you having trouble seeing?"

"Nothing. Never mind that!" His cheeks burned a little with embarrassment. Way to go jumping to conclusions like that, and anyway, there were definitely more urgent matters to attend to. After a quick switcharoo of his glasses for the key on top of the nearby dresser he opened the door, taking a step to leave first before remembering that he'd need to be the last one out so he could close and lock it more easily. He held it open impatiently. Chivalry's not dead!

"Let's go!"
forgetbeam: (No Kyoudai das gay)

He paused at the end of the corridor to weigh his options - out loud, as though that would help him come to a decision.

"A hospital is too far, and we can't risk being stopped by the machines in the city right now." Or ever. Even if they were... if he was a perfectly law-abiding citizen, he had heard they were performing completely random searches on anyone and everyone, and that was going to be a huge hassle. Even more so if certain people with a problem with authority decided to make a scene.

"Besides, this school has plenty of non-human students and faculty! The infirmary must be equipped with something that can cut these... these claws at the very least!" God, that was weird to say. "From there the nurse will be able to tell if you will need surgery!"

Right, that sounded like a plan. A... good plan, right? How the hell was he supposed to handle something like this, anyway? Damn it. He pushed the door open and turned for the main building.

"Let's not use shears! We don't want to cut your fingers right off."

But at least Mondo seemed to have relaxed a bit. It was putting Kiyotaka more at ease, too. Giant clippers really were the kind of thing that this school would have just lying around! Something that made sense for this place that usually made none...

Too bad the stretch from the dorm buildings to the main one seemed to last forever. It wasn't just anxiety over having these claws dealt with and figuring out what was wrong, but the fact that thinking everything was all figured out allowed his mind to drift to other subjects relating to the both of them. This really wasn't the time to be thinking of it. It was never going to be, so it would definitely be for the best to banish it from his mind again.

"Let's pick up the pace! The sooner this is dealt with, the better!"

"They're pokemon that... dig in the ground with their hands. They're sorta brown or yellowy. I'm water/ground," sniffed Jock. "I wish I had claws. I don't. I don't even have front paws anymore. I don't have any arms."

And with that admission the man sobbed even harder than he had been.
