I Never Asked For This! Adventures in Humanhood!

[vela_nova]

Who: Team Sonic
What: What's that thing we found--OH GOD WHY ARE WE HUMANS NOW?
Where: Storage Room to start
When: Saturday Night
Warnings: B for WHY AM I SO BALD

Blaze wasn't exactly one for scrounging, but given the state of subsistence they'd all been reduced to since coming to the mansion, she'd had to learn to make do. And one such circumstance sent her looking for towels, tarps, anything she could find to keep things dry. With the rainy season starting and seemingly never wanting to end, things were getting very damp very quickly.

Finding a storage room, Blaze rummaged through boxes, trying to find anything to fight back the encroaching moisture. But what else would she find on her search, I wonder?

"Wh-- HEY!"

The gem collided with Wave, and much like it did with the rest, it changed her as well. Where the purple bird stood, now there was Shantae a purple haired human girl with darker skin. "Wh-- What did you do to me?!" she angrily demanded, whirling to Rouge.

(whoops, I forgot to set my icon last time, herp)

[sexyspybat]

Rouge placed a hand on her hip and scratched her nose dismissively.

"Touch gem, get human. It seems like everyone from Mobius is affected by this one."

Her bust was obnoxiously smushed under her top, so she tugged at it some more, cutting her explanation short without a fuck to give.

[mach_n_roll]

"You see what I mean?" Sonic adds, conspicuously not looking at Rouge while she rearranges herself in her suit.

[vela_nova]

"Was that really necessary?" Blaze asked, facepalming at what Rouge had just done.

[babylonmechanic]

"No, it wasn't!" Wave shouted. "You'd better be able to fix this!" she added, hands on her hips. She did have some great hips, didn't she?

[mach_n_roll]

She does. Hell, she objectively had great hips as a bird, and that hadn't changed, but Sonic would never admit to it.

"Look, hey, it's not that bad!" He begins, trying to diffuse the angry malaise among them. "You look good! I mean, YOU MAKE A COOL-LOOKING HUMAN, that's what I mean!"

Everyone's irritated by this development save for Rouge, whose dearth of fucks to give hasn't helped matters. Sonic doesn't want to get squawked at any more than he wants to get set on fire, and he dimly realizes that both could happen AT THE SAME TIME if he says the wrong thing right now.

"I'm sure she wouldn't have done that if it weren't easy to change back... right?" He adds, looking at Rouge over his shoulder.

[yournewcaptain]

Wave turning human now was putting Marine even more on edge. Why wasn't Rouge fixing this problem? Clearly she had more answers than the rest of them did. If yelling at her wasn't going to solve anything, then...

"Blaaaaze!!" she whined as she tugged on her friend's arm pitifully. "I'm tired of being a 'uman! Make 'er change us baaaaack!!"

[sexyspybat]

Rouge sneered at Sonic. She was quite glad she wasn't trapped in the situation he was in. But there was so much room for FUN, now that she thought about it... Maybe setting off on a quest to find their answers didn't have to start right then and there.

"I'm sure it's easy enough to change back. We just have to determine the trigger." She sashayed up to him and traced her fingers up his bare arm. "Who knows? Maybe it'll take us getting a little... up-close and personal," she purred.

[vela_nova]

"Watch who you're getting close to there," Blaze grumbled, narrowing her eyes as she put a hand on Marine's shoulder to try and calm the girl down. "Whatever it is, we need to figure it out soon."

[babylonmechanic]

"Well, Rouge DOES know more about this than us," Wave half-seriously replied. Seeing the rise they were getting out of Blaze, she lifted her hand to Sonic's other arm. "Who knows? Could even be fun~"

[mach_n_roll]

"AHAHAH whoa whoa whoa..." The erstwhile hedgehog replies, wriggling out from between the two girls. His hands are up placatingly, but his blush betrays plenty about what's going through his mind. Oh man, how did he even get into this situation in the first place?! Why can't they immediately think the solution is to break a huge robot or find another ancient jewel or something? He's used to that!

"If, you know, that's REALLY what we have to do to change back... Don't you think Blaze and I would wanna test it out first?"

[yournewcaptain]

This was beyond Marine's level of maturity. And comfort level.

She uncharacteristically blushed to a bright red, turned away, and stayed quiet. Ew, she did NOT want to think of her friends getting jiggy wit it... Maybe if she was lucky, they'd change the subject and switch her back already.

[sexyspybat]

Rouge scrunched up her nose at the idea.

"Mmmmmn, nope. In all honesty, it's probably something more bland. But it looks like we're ALL willing to try it, aren't we, Sonic?"

She smiled suggestively at him and pointed down at his ... excitement.

[vela_nova]

Blaze glanced down and froze up. She also instinctively lifted a hand to cover Marine's eyes. She didn't need to see THAT.

[babylonmechanic]

Wave smirked, and gave a little whistle. "Dayum."

[mach_n_roll]

Sonic blinks, follows their gaze down. He then demonstrates that he still has some of his superspeed as a human by disappearing into the same bedroom he'd emerged from in a blur of blue hair and mortification.

"GAH ohmanohmanohman... Look okay, I can't help it!" His voice carries through the door. "It's just that, you know, you guys wear human really well. And I've kind of, uh... always been..."

He just sort of trails off.

[yournewcaptain]

Marine wanted absolutely nothing to do with how south the conversation had gone. It wasn't just gross, it was AWKWARD. Sonic was like an older brother to her, and the thought of adult-time between her and onee-sama Blaze was too much.

"GUUAAAAHHH, sod this!! Blazey, come get me when you all 'ave squared things away!" she declared as she ran toward the exit, hand covering her eyes. She almost made it without slamming into anything, but she still wound up checking the door frame a bit. A little stunned, she hobbled out the door while rubbing her shoulder with her spare hand.

[imgonnaflyhigh]

The disaster train had not yet finished leaving the station. All aboard!

As soon as she turned the corner, she ran right into an orange fox with two bushy tails. "Oof!" He said as they collided. "I'm sorry, I must not have been looking where I was going... I thought I heard someone I knew."

He'd been there for all of a week. The last thing he expected was species swapping, on top of falling out of his own dimension and into... Whatever THIS was.

[forgotlegday]

"What the heck kind of racket is going on here?" Knuckles asked, following behind Tails. The two had been exploring together, looking for their friends. He's been trying to stick close to the rest of his team, not to mention Rouge, Blaze, and Marine. They'd gone missing, and having found them again, he wasn't about to let them out of his sight.

Seeing Tails distracted by the girl he'd just run into, he poked his head into the room she had just emerged from. "Oh, hey there," he said to the unfamiliar bunch.

[vela_nova]

"Always been what--" Blaze tried to ask, before Marine's outburst caused that thought to trail off. "Wait, we should stick together--"

And then, Tails and Knuckles had arrived. While familiar faces were very welcome, they just unfortunately added to the shame Congo line that had started to form here. "Ah... Your timing could have been better," she said.

[babylonmechanic]

Wave just smirked at Blaze's comment. "I dunno about that, this could have potential..." She eyed Tails and Knuckles mischievously.

[mach_n_roll]

By that time, Sonic had mostly gotten over his preoccupations long enough to realize that things had gone weirdly silent on the other side.

"H-hey guys?" He opens the door and realizes who else has come in.

"Knuckles?" And was that... "Tails?" down the hall.

...Uh oh.

"Listen guys, we're not quite ourselves right now. You might wanna..."
