 [theres the sound of  a book being flung open, and then...]

what the HECK?! What'd I do, piss of Davy Jones or something? Eat some strange food? Walk through some... Cursed fairy magical stupid crap?! WHY AM I A....[he paused to look at himself again. Just what the heck is he?] 

FURRY RACCOON THING?!

....urgh. I like this place but it's weird. Seriously. Whatever this crap is, it better go back to normal. Anyone in the Bloody Roses hear me? It looks like I'm on isle Empieza for some weird reason in addition to being a fuzzy freaking forest animal. I'm gonna go to the Backwater Brig and use the nav to get to the ship. 

((Ooc: oh noes! Thash has swapped bodies with Yasaburo the raccoon dog shapeshifter! But he doesn't know how to shapeshift so currently he's just a raccoon dog. This post is open to action Yasaburo, Thash, and anyone on the bloody roses who interacts with them while body swapped. Feel free to start branching threads from it where needed. Open audio to everyone else!))

action/voice - bloody roses

[Walking around with the journal open-]

Is anyone else hearing this?

[crankyshark]

[Thash heard her, but...didn't recognize the voice. Must be someone on a different crew maybe?]

You're not a Bloody Rose are you? Did anything weird like this happen in your crew, whoever you are?

[kabutos_claim]

I happen to be the newest member of the Bloody Roses.

So whatever you're babbling on about... If you really want to try and get here, be my guest.

[So you can make excellent target practice.]

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell, never having heard this voice before, hears the name of ehr crew being mentioned, and some stranger trying to gain access.

Not on her watch!]

Whomever you are, don't you dare try to board my vessel unless you want to DIE!

[crankyshark]

[by then he was almost to the Backwater Brig, but paused when he heard a familiar voice coming out of the journal. He stopped running and sat back in hai furry haunches, trying to carefully pull out the journal and open it. Easier said than done without opposable thumbs]

Captain Grell? I must be missing something here... [did she not recognize his voice?....oh. Duh. His voice was different]

This is Thash. I dunno how or why but I've turned into a furry animal and been transported to Isla Empieza. I know I sound weird...I guess my voice got changed along with my body. As far as I know, I was on the ship and my regular self last night.... [he suddenly worried maybe some time had passed. When Grell woke up after being gone for a month, she'd had no idea how much time had passed...]

...at least I think it was last night. Frick, this is weird. I don't even know if time passed. If there's fresh fish in the ship's galley from my dive yesterday that means I was on the ship yesterday.

[and if she cared to check there would indeed be fish there]

[redcinemareel]

[Blah, blah, blah! Give her a break!]

I don't know what you're on about, but I'm not falling for it! Do you truly think you can fool me with fresh fish? Pathetic!

Heed my warning! It will be the last!

[And she shuts her journal, and goes to warn the rest of the ship of some impostor.]

voice

[sinister_blade]

Thash? What the fuck are you talking about? And why in the name of all that is holy are you on Empieza!? Get back here this instant!

Re: voice

[crankyshark]

Kat? [sheesh, thank goodness] I don't know, I really don't. I have no frickin' idea what's going on. I'm about to try to get back there, but apparently Grell's going to try to kill me as soon as I do...and maybe some new recruit as well. So when you see a furry animal show up in a few minutes would you be so kind as to help ensure I don't get decapitated before I can prove who I am? I'll be happy to prove it to you before I come too if that'll give you peace of mind.

[sinister_blade]

Waitaminute- you are a raccoon? I didn't hear bad the first time?

Grell is making a fuss about impostors on the ship, if you don't get back here we will be in big trouble.

As for being raccoon- well get rid of it! Fast!

[voice]

[buttwarmed]

[Thash might be alarmed to hear his own voice talking to him over the journal.]

Well I guess that explains why I can't transform...

Hi. That's my body. And presumably I'm in yours, somehow.

Re: [voice]

[crankyshark]

[his own voice....yeah that's definitely very weird. And he sounds too calm]

You're in my body?! Well get out of it you body-snatcher! My own crew thinks I'm an imposter thanks to you!

[buttwarmed]

I didn't take it! I've got to be in yours. Do you have blue hair and, uh...gills?

voice;

[melodyssong]

I believe this is Davy Jone's sick idea of a joke. Fairies would never play this type of prank. Witches are more likely.

[This coming from the mouth of Crocker of all people, but was in fact Musa. She is not happy.]

Although furry raccoon thing? Are you like, a puppy or something now?

Re: voice;

[crankyshark]

Yeah...kinda starting to guess that now.

Uh, I don't think I'm a puppy. I'm this large forest creature thing that looks like a raccoon but...has no stripes on its tail. Weird.

Still though, I get the feeling there's more to it than that. I wonder if it's got supernatural abilities...but if it does id have no idea how to use 'em

voice;

[melodyssong]

You know I was kidding. I guess it's really hard to convey that in a body of a man.

Odds are likely. I mean Davy Jones, while finds this type of thing to be amusing, I assume. I don't think he would put someone in a body of a normal everyday animal. Gotta be something special about it. Like maybe it's a fairy pet or something.

[private to Faye]

[crankyshark]

Hey....Faye, you got your journal open?

[he glanced outside his cell just to make sure his 'guard' was still sleeping. Even so, he spoke to Faye at barely above a whisper]

Heheh guess what? This body is better than I thought... It can turn into things.

[private]

[myfayevalentine]

*She decided it was probably best to whisper back, given that he was under watch*

Huh? Turn into things? Like what?

Re: [private]

[crankyshark]

Um, not sure what the limits are yet but so far I've been able to turn into a mouse, my regular body, and even a couple other crew members...

[private voice to Bloody Roses]

[crankyshark]

Holy freak it's about time I got my regular body back.... Anyway I'm sure some of you might've noticed a sad lack of fresh fish in the galley. Now that I'm not in a dang cage on a dang leash, I intend to fix that.

Anyone who's got a request, you can let me know on here or on the deck in ten minutes. New people feel free to come meet me in my REAL body and tell me what kind of fish you like too. I might've been pretty grouchy in that raccoon body but I won't bite... As long as you don't piss me off.

action

[sinister_blade]

[Hearing that Thash is back in his proper body makes Katarina sigh in huge relief and drop down in the chair. No more keeping eye on Captain or Thash or anyone else. Babysitting is over!

After sitting slouched like that for few moments, she gets up and makes way to the galley.]

Hey they, sharky. Back to your body?

Re: action

[crankyshark]

[he looked over his shoulder as Kat came in. It looked like he was preparing a spot to store the fish for when he got back later. He stopped what he was doing for a moment though, turning towards her with a smile]

Hey, Kat. Yeah, finally. It feels good to be me again...

[he lowered his voice a bit] between you and me though, that body could have been fun if I hadn't had to stick around in the galley. I found out eventually that it could transform into stuff...

[voice]

[kabutos_claim]

I have to admit, a shark mutant is pretty cool. I imagine now you'd give us a real fight.

[voice/action]

[crankyshark]

You think it's cool, huh? Most people in my world were pretty put off by it...but you can come see for yourself if you come to the deck.

And yeah, I can fight pretty well in my own skin. We should spar sometime... I do it with Kat now and then.

[he was finished doing other stuff to get ready so he'd go to the deck at that point]

[voice]

[myfayevalentine]

You're...really back to normal?

[crankyshark]

[his voice sounded quite happy and relieved when he replied]

Yep! Finally... Sheesh, I was almost starting to wonder if I'd be stuck that way...

Anyway even my real body feels kinda weak and cooped up at the moment so I'm gonna go for a dive and get some fish while I'm at it. I want to see you though... I'll definitely see you when I get back but I can stop by your room on my way to the deck too if you want.
