He was outside. Crouching on a rooftop. Syx was familiar with the area and being on a roof wasn’t that strange… but… he didn’t remember coming out here. Maybe he’d… sleep walked? He’d been building something in Evil Lair… Anna had…. tried to get him to come to bed, but he’d been on a roll and wanted to finish. He’d promised to make it up to her later. Likely he’d fallen asleep at the drafting table, it would hardly be the first time that happened.
Still, it hardly explained what was going on currently. Standing Syx stepped back from the ledge. He didn’t feel tired. At all. Bouncing on his toes he marveled at how odd that was. His clothing was odd too… not his normal leather and spandex. Speaking on that… he reached up and touched his head. Small. Hair.
WHAT?!
Jerking in shock and growing panic, Syx spun and dropped to the ground. He made a beeline for the lair. He didn’t know what was going on but he needed Minion NOW!.
Syx shrugged helplessly at her, “Your guess is as good as mine, tiger. All my senses are fucked.”
Bolstering up his courage, Syx marched his ass over to the person in his body, “Who are you anyway? And what is wrong with me? This isn’t how humans feel? Is it?”
It couldn’t be. Everything was easy and light. He never even lost his breath running over here. This body couldn’t be human. It just couldn’t be.
“Scent it?” Veda parrots, not understanding Anna’s choice of phrase, what she meant by that. It doesn’t take long before that train of thought ends up derailed by Syx’s line of questions.
Flinching back, the anxious panic Veda had been feeling is creeping more and more into her expression, making herself focus on Syx in her own body. “It- it is.” At least, for her, it was how she normally felt. Though that was wildly different from other humans, she knew that.
Anna’s lips thinned just a touch as Syx approached his own body, though when she smelled the sharp scent of Veda’s emotions? She was quick to act. She moved forward, gently taking Syx’s shoulders and urging him back, “Its okay,” She urged the person, looking to Syx, hoping her expression would urge him to calm down.
“Everybody just.. relax. We will figure this out.. take a step back, take a deep breath, and lets think this out without making this any worse than it is,” She urged. Despite the slight command in her voice, her tone was soft and gentle, soothing as if she were talking to two angry and frightened animals..
“Relax? I am relaxed!” Syx hunched his shoulders and glared at the person in his body, “And stop lying. You have gooooot to be lying,” turning his glare to his new flesh he poked at the pink skin.
He followed Anna’s direction and backed off muttering to himself. Glancing up he informed her, “Just… keep her? from leaving. I’m going to the idea room,” he scowled, “And changing. These clothes are stupid. And I need to overwrite the security protocols to accept commands from this form for however long this lasts.”
