[ Today, Lightning's doing something fairly unusual in comparison to her normal - and recently even darker than normal - behavior. For once, she's outside and yet doesn't seem busy, merely watching as her puppy Baldr frolics about in the general area of community housing 4 in search of sticks to defeat, things to dig up, and nearby people to greet. In fact, the young woman and dog look pretty safe to come 'visit' with today- especially since there's also no gunblade in sight, and as she sits down to lean against the outside wall, she makes a pretty inane-seeming public message. ]

These seasons... usually last about three months each, right? How much warmer does it get?

Jack? [ She glances aside, as if there's actually going to be
random people poking out from behind the trees and listening in or something. Needless to say, she's pretty incredulous here. ] What happened?

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

I turned into a dragon. [Not very observant, Light, are you?]

what even happened to that last comment....

[thestormishere]

[ A dragon. No shit, Sherlock. She steps just a little closer, tense, annoyed, and not hiding at all the fact that she's staring. Just don't get any funny ideas, lizardguy. ]

Why?

I never saw anything :|a

Hell if I know. This ain't what you'd call normal for me. Probably more Malnosso bullshit.

[... though he's been stuck like this for awhile now.]

[thestormishere]

[ Hey, technically, turning into a monster isn't normal for her either. Jerk. She scowls as she steps up onto a fallen log, walking up the incline carefully before grabbing hold of a branch for support. ]

... I'm not so sure about that. Outside of the stuff that affects everyone, even the Malnosso tend to have their... reasons. Unless you're saying gaining a family--

[ Her voice keeps getting more and more charged until it just suddenly cuts off there. He... hadn't really been himself during that last experiment either, had he?

Was this guy even human in the first place...? ]

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

[He just watches her with feigned disinterest. He's surprised she's even giving him the time of day, honestly. Between killing her and giving her two kids, he figured she'd hate him.]

What the hell would family have to do with this? I ditched them before the damn experiment even ended.

[thestormishere]

[ She doesn't like him... but this is just a bit too interesting to pass up. Her voice is harsh, though; so far, that experiment ranks top as the worst ones she's been through, and his words don't help. ]

I don't know- you tell me. Just what was up with the whole... change there at the end?

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Hell if I know. Look, one night me and the little lady back home were getting it on, the next morning I woke up a little tubby, a few days later I went from looking like Big Albert to Puff the Magic Dragon. Don't ask me to explain it.

[Because he doesn't know and this form is getting old quick.]

[thestormishere]

[ Still not something she wanted to know there, Jack. At all. ]

... Does anyone else even know about this?

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

I've run into a few other people, yeah.

[Hasn't told them much of the facts, though. They didn't need to know.]
