[OK. OK. Katara's mostly gotten the hang of this now. Landing is still a little tricky. But mostly? Aside from being completely cut off from her element... this. is still. awesome.

So Katara is flying all about during her free time, working on her landings, and still just generally loving her new wings. So she can be seen flying by the riverbanks, or flying into town to run some errands.

...there will also be a point where she just takes a seat by the fountain and dips her fingers in the water. Flying is great, but she feels somehow muted without being able to feel the water.]

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

[Flying around town, she might notice Michael going about the day's business as well... though at least on his way to, if not back from the shops, he'll be running on all fours, blue, feline ears turned back and tail streaming out behind him. It seems he's slowly but surely coming to terms with his transformation for the week. Almost a shame there's only a few days of it left, eh?]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash was not amused much by his transformation. At least not until a strange sensation came over him and suddenly he found himself shooting out a donut! Yes, this octorok has had a bit of a tweaking done to it. Instead of shooting rocks, it shoots out donuts! The Malnosso must have a sick sense of humor though as Vash soon discovered that his new appendage was only good for spitting out, not eating.]

Aw man! What good is this if I can’t eat them! And they look so tasty too!

[Vash feels a strange desire to walk back and fourth in some of the clearings in the forest. He’ll spend most of his days there, sometimes wandering into town. Watch out for that jelly filled donut that may be flying at you. He's really sorry, he can't seem to control it sometimes.

Also there are piles of donuts everywhere. He’s stockpiling them until he can change back and eat them. His room is FILLED with them. All the day olds get pushed out his bedroom window in the morning. Who want’s day olds anyway when you can make fresh ones! Look out below!]

(ooc: I think I’ll be around to tag, but a warning that I may be slow. Real life decided to kick me pretty hard in the teeth this week so the muse has been coming and going. If I suddenly stop tagging I will pick it up again, I just may need a day or two.)

[onebluebabe.livejournal.com]

[BAMF! Rogue glances around, taking in the forest surroundings - much less embarrassing to learn things like 'walking' where no one can see.

And that's a donut heading towards her face - BAMF!

And she reappears, several feet to the side.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Charlotte's change is somewhat more subtle than some other people's, but it still distinct enough. Little fangs, pointed ears... but the most telling is a little demonic tail. Either way though, she's trying to go about her usual day and light. She's much stronger and such and might have some powers she has yet to explore but... well, you get the idea.

Feel free to run into her anywhere. Perhaps she's just getting groceries or food. Perhaps she's decided to try punching things at the barracks to test out her power, or maybe she's just taking a long walk to any and all corners of the village. She has a lot to think about but the point is that she will deff. have time for friends and other people besides]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Dhaos is currently flying around town poking random plants and watching people. Hearing the animals talk was a little strange, but when the plants start speaking up, things get extremely weird. He is definitely not amused by his current form, but at least no one can recognize him like this. And being little can be convenient sometimes.

Of course, just because no one recognizes him doesn't mean he can't be bothered. Clearly someone must come and give him a hug.]

[illusional]

[A hug, you say?]

[Because Cheyenne now knows that in this form, she's capable of hugging living creatures without the whole evil-powers-stealing-away-all-happiness thing. And while she generally prefers stuffed bears, Dhaos the Bunny looks rather soft and huggable...]

[/brb stalking.]

[magnifien.livejournal.com]

[ caroline hadn't been too keen on the idea of being a witch, surprised to find herself actually missing the vampire parts of herself, but she's slowly warming up to the idea. being able to drop damon to the ground with a mere thought may or may not have something to do with that. there's something satisfying (if not a bit twisted) about being able to inflict pain upon someone who used to hurt you and push you around. having the upper hand for a change was nice. maybe being stuck like this for a while wouldn't be so bad after all.

she should probably watch where she's going, though, for she's about to collide with someone as she steps out of one of the shops. ]

[adeadringer.livejournal.com]

[ elena is not sure how she got to wherever this place is or how the wings became attached to her back, but she's very, very unhappy about it. and more than that, wings aside, this body doesn't feel like her own. that could, of course, have to do with the fact that her clothing is all wrong. she certainly doesn't remember selecting anything this plain to wear this morning.

she nearly collides with another blonde as she heads toward the entrance of a store. there's no money in her pockets, so she'll have to make do with the clothing for now, but maybe she can find someone who can explain what's going on around here.

the very least they could have done is left her with the ring stefan gave her. instead there's some strange necklace with a swirl pattern, set with a red stone. it's lovely, but not hers and she wants what's hers back. ]

[wise_maiden]

[For the later few days of the experiment, Raine has been finding herself a bit more cautious and skittery around others, after a few incidents earlier in the week. More comfortable with her situation, at least--she knows that she can't very well throw it away.

She's been using her 'human' form in the village while she takes care of her errands, looking like herself and yet with softer features and longer, more wavy hair, favoring sheer dresses with colors of the sea, and keeping close about her an odd, slightly speckled cloak that's a similar shade of her hair. Careful never to linger too long, unless she's caught in conversation during her browsing. Trips to the library were included, with books on raising octopuses and creatures from other worlds. What one has to do with the other is anyone's guess.

Except she will linger over bridges, and wander over the banks of the stream... and then perhaps change to another, strangely more comfortable form, closer to dusk. Never quite staying out too late, but enough, at times.]

[fortunefail]

[While passing by the stables, Raine may notice that there's a cow standing in the corral. Well, a bull, really. A tall one, at that. Ashamed by what he's turned into, Yuan figured that the only way to avoid being recognized for who he really is is to try and blend in.

He's not returning to his house until this is over. He's going to pretend to be a cow and not say a word to anyone. It's amazing how well it's working. Aside from a few awkward looks from people who've never seen a cow before, nobody's tried to bother him. They're probably so absorbed in their own problems, they don't have too much time to waste on a surplus cow.

That said, he watches Raine closely when she passes by.]

[unbalancedsoul.livejournal.com]

[Aella had, for the past few days, been sleeping outdoors even when the weathers gets nasty. A full elemental thanks to the experiment, the indoors are even more stifling here. It was odd, considering the elementals back home didn't seem to have problems-

No matter, she's outside, napping in a tree, more comfortable in her own skin then she's been in a long, long time. Her appearance has changed, too: Pale green swirls crawl languidly across her skin at her neck, with more markings outlining her eyes and spiraling down her arms. Like tattoos, except far more organic looking.

Anyone can feel free to bother her, she‘s too relaxed to really snap today.]

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

[Michael is slowly coming to accept his slightly more feline nature and traits... so he'll be exploring around the base of your tree, Aella, trying to figure out what smells... odd in it.]

[leafonmaihead.livejournal.com]

[Being a fox spirit really isn't as amazing as Miyabi first thought, the moment she changed - and figured out just what she was. The back pain from her new, uh...additions was insane, and her balance was so off it wasn't even funny. How the hell do some women stay upright like that?! A-And every time she tried to jump or move suddenly...

It hurts, man. ;A;

So, Miyabi's opted to stick to her fox form to save her aching back somewhat. She's napping under a tree near the entrance to the forest, where it connects to the village. Unfortunately, Miyabi never quite got the hang of transforming by her will just yet...so, perhaps one may suddenly see a sleepy beauty (http://www.videogamegirlsdb.com/gamegirl/Images/Muramasa/Kongiku/Kongiku_MuramasaTDB_01.jpg) under that tree instead, just before it shifts back.]

Come bother her! She's cheery! :D

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[This is more like it for Selphie.

She's as human as she normally is with the exception of the pointy ears. However, that little issue doesn't bother her nearly as much as being a stuffed animal did. Her mood has taken a full three-sixty from Sunday and she's wandering everywhere in the village just radiating sunshine and good cheer.

There's no stopping this gal's good mood.]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Here, have sylph!Rydia landing on your shoulder. She's pretty much the same as a sylph, save the size and the gossamer wings.]

Selphie! How are you doing?

[bookworldly.livejournal.com]

[The people and animals and magical creatures of Luceti might see a fawn stumbling her way daintily around Community Housing Building 2. They might see her in the square crumpled elegantly over the fountain's edge, lapping water, or else in curled up in a patch of grass, regally hiding. Wherever she might be seen, however, it is of vital importance to note that she isn't likely to be standing up. For Thursday, getting used to having four legs is one thing – but these legs are long, it's high up here and far too wobbly. Falling down is easier. Staying down is easier. (http://i.imgur.com/zNWqw.jpg)]

[onebluebabe.livejournal.com]

[And suddenly, Rogue appears in a burst of smoke, sulfur, and brimstone. Stupid BAMFing. Stupid weird legs.]

Ugh. Walkin' sucks.

April 1st and 2nd

[consultmybooks]

[...Giles preferred being a dragon.

Now...well, he has no idea what the hell he is. At the moment, all he knows is that he can't see.

No, that's not true. He can see. He just can't see how he normally sees. People are just moving, glowing lights in various colors. He knows that he should recognize some of them, and he can register familiar voices, but that's about it. The village around him is gray and blank, the only color are the people and the animals scampering and flapping and pacing around the plaza that day. Occasional flickers and flashes besides break the monotony of the gray, but nothing really notable.

Opening his eyes makes no difference. And keeping them closed just feels more...comfortable.

It doesn't take long after tentatively setting out from his apartment that day before Giles finds himself utterly lost. Villagers are free to come upon him anywhere, staring around in utter confusion with his eyes closed. His mood vacillates throughout the day between morbid curiosity and distress. He has his journal with him, but he's never had to use it without working eyes before...]

((ooc: Borrowing from the lovely Cheyenne, Giles is an Illusionist for the remainder of the experiment. He has no idea how his powers work, so possibly approach with caution. Unless anyone makes any sudden moves around him, startles him, or annoys/angers him, he'll be keeping his eyes shut just because it's more comfortable that way.))

April 1st

[illusional]

[Of all the living things with souls Giles will have seen around the village, this one will be an odd one. The outline of her soul is very faint and the only really visible part is a small, faintly glowing sphere near what would be her chest. To a regular illusionist, she would look barely alive. To Giles? She probably just looks weirder than usual.]

[Thankfully, she can tell right away that he must be a changed resident: all illusionists in her world are female. Still, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the same potential as an illusionist from her world, so hopefully he forgives her for walking right up to him and skipping the formalities.]

[She'd rather not have to see an Illusionist wipe out an entire village.]

You are a villager who has been changed for this experiment, yes?

[fabrecation]

[Sigh. Siiiigh.

Here Luke had been hoping that he'd get off scott free this week. Most of his friends had been affected while he hadn't, anyway...

He probably shouldn't have hoped too much. Not if it meant waking up on a pillow and finding himself to be an inch and a half tall with a weird yellow/orange glow around him. (Thankfully, his pajamas had shrunk with him too. No doubt he has absolutely no clothes this size.)

After having a fit about this new form (and finding that he could jump rather high like this... once he leapt off the couch and crashed to the floor anyway), Luke heads to the clothing store while holding a leaf like an umbrella to protect him from the heat of the sun. It'd probably be easier and faster for a poncle like him to hop, but he's not exactly used to that, nor does he want another embarrassing moment of leaping way too far.

So, he just walks. Grumpily. And he's not really getting to his destination very fast.]

[leafonmaihead.livejournal.com]

[Just as Miyabi woke from a nice little nap under a tree - stretching and yawning openly - she sees a small ball of orange light walking by, holding a leaf. A rather familiar ball of light walking by, holding a leaf.

That is most definitely a poncle.

Walking out in the open during midday.

...Luke, you are an idiot and Miyabi's amazed you haven't been trampled, let alone eaten, by now. She does, however mistake the orange glow for someone else entirely, so have a fox trotting your way, tail wagging excitedly. Please...please let it be Ishaku!]

march 31st

[falenandawn]

[Frey was rather happy this morning to discover those wings and claws were Gone, if only for a second-

Before the realization was crushed by the fact that he once again seemed to have a little extra something up top. Was this some sort of sick joke?! He’s a girl, again? By this point, though, he’s more annoyed then surprised. It was just an experiment- It had to end soon enough. Though he’s even more irritated by the fact they chose to change his hair, too. It was now platinum blond…. Almost like his aunt’s, really.

Tossing on his red tunic that only barely fits now, even with buttons undone, he’ll proceed to say good morning to his roommates and have breakfast before heading out to pick up clothes. He’ll then spend the rest of the day wandering the village. Better to be out where he can’t be harassed by his housemates.

((ooc: Frey is a Veela! Feel free to wonder why this girl seems to be Really Attractive, since Veela are prone to charming males on sight.))

[markofthefraggd.livejournal.com]

[He only sees Frey from behind. The hair color strikes him as odd, but the clothes and braid are familiar.]

Frey? [His voice is a little unfamiliar, being as its a little deeper and gruffer than usual.]

[nomorebamfs.livejournal.com]

[This may be a familiar sight to some. Kurt, looking like a normal human being, is strolling through town. He's just a regular old human now. No more blue fur or anything. Or teleporting for that matter. It may not mean much, given he used to look like this with his holo watch, but it's a lot different now that it's real.]

[godbent]

[And Haruhi is...

trying to master heat vision. It's being by far the most troublesome of her powers. so she's set up a bunch of soda cans on a rack just off the Brigade HQ and is currently taking to trying to shoot lasers out of her eyes at them. She still can't quite figure out the trigger though, so it's more like her just glaring at them.]

[quoth-he.livejournal.com]

[Yes, yes, chainedraven is a raven. Raven is a raven, ha hah. Very funny, Malnosso.

The problem is, though, that he still hasn't quite figured out the whole wings aspect of it. Despite that, and without thinking the idea through, he'd left the house. And now? He kind of can't figure out how to get back.

So there's a very awkward-looking bird either flailing uselessly about the village or hopping along irritably, attempting to find his way home. Help him out, y/n?]

[pridefulfists.livejournal.com]

You seem troubled.

[ombra_lira]

[Sheik's gotten quite used to being big and four-legged by now. He's by the river, eyeing some fish. Hunting and fishing was easier than attempting to navigate getting in and out of buildings.]

[He waits motionless, then suddenly snaps forward, catching a fish in his jaws. Pleased, he hops back onto the bank and shakes himself off, sending a spray of water in all directions.]

[Hope you didn't get caught in that.]

[paranoidpatriot.livejournal.com]

[Residents of Luceti, observe if you will, the majestic grandeur of the fox antelope. A somewhat common species indigenous to the Northern Earth Kingdom plains, notable for it's sizable twisted horns, warm hued coats and typically somewhat docile nature-- Except for today.
This one looks like it's been through the rutter- matted fur, twisted horns, it walks with a faint limp- and it looks like it wants to kill something.

You know, when Jet came down to the market place, he assumed he'd be leaving it the same person. The fox antelope stands regally with a... piece of wheat between it's teeth, and then it starts to chew and ARGH. How is he supposed to curb his oral fixation prove who he is, if he keeps devouring everything he bites on, here?!
Being a fox antelope sucks.]

1/3

[markofthebrave]

[Wheeeee, flying is boss.]

[fight4theusers]

[There is no end to the irritation Tron feels at being turned into a Bit. His higher functions have not been repressed, so he can still think properly, thank the Users, but he cannot respond beyond the simple positive and negative of a Bit. Wondering if anyone will know who he is, he floats aimlessly, looking as depressed as a being composed of angles can.]

[kittenancestor.livejournal.com]

[After the shock, wariness, and discomfort of being Mew wore off, Mewtwo felt himself overwhelmed by an intense curiosity. This body was so small and light, almost ethereal, and yet still so powerful - and his intense battle urge had dwindled down to almost nothing, its place taken by exhilaration and an itching need to...fly.

Mewtwo eventually decided that if he was going to be his "ancestor" for any length of time, he was going to make the best of it.

So forget floating through the streets. If you're outside, you might feel a strong breeze rise suddenly and see a small, gleaming creature flying overhead, swooping and somersaulting and looping through the air, riding the wind it had whipped up.

...Flag him down if you want, but please don't shoot anything into the air.]

Some time around the 1st-ish?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Sudden shiny from above!]

[If Link possessed a jaw, it would have just dropped open. Transformations are quite the usual for him, now - but that's both acrobatic and really quite pretty.]

That looks like fun!

1st

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is now back too normal, earlier than he had expected, seeing as other people aren't normal yet. So while it's nice not looking like a freak show, he missed the cool abilities. Today's just a normal day, though. So he can be found lugging groceries home in two huge paper sack bags. He got more than he can honestly handle, since he had gotten used to being quite a bit stronger. He can barely even see over them as he makes his way home.]

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[...For a second there, she'd wondered if someone got turned into a paper bag monster or something - she'd believe it at this point - buuut after a moment of looking, she realizes that she recognizes this person.]

Sokka!

[Hopefully waving will make her more visible over those paper bags]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

[So. It's a little weird, and he's managed to go most of the week without being turned into anything, but Naruto is actually kind of enjoying his new body. He's not sure what he's supposed to be, but it reminds me of some sort of smaller version of the Demon Fox. He won't complain, since he's not exactly going around ripping up Luceti or anything.

Where can you find him? Anywhere and everywhere. Hiding in tall grass, bushes, trees, behind walls and buildings. He's just watching people and stuff. MAYBE EVEN FOLLOWING PEOPLE WHILE TRYING NOT TO BE SEEN.]

[shrouded-reaper.livejournal.com]

[There's an oddly lively cactus (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cactuar) wandering around town, followed by one very confused dog.]

[rain-of-bullets.livejournal.com]

[There's an annoyed and angry-looking black dog skulking around town. This is the second time something's come along to change his body and he'd rather not stick around the house and wait for them all to either get their shits and giggles out of it or show up as something even stranger. So Haine is trying not to feel like biting the hell out of the first person or thing to cross his path.]

Last day (April 2nd)

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[So, Paprika has been a human since the 1st of April. April Fools, haha.

Well, jokes on the Malnosso. Paprika loves being human right now. She's turned human before, but there were circumstances behind it. First time she thought she had always been human and the second time she was turned into Atsuko of all the people! But now, she was just human. No gimmicks.

And man was it weird. She was hungry for instance. And got tired. Dude it is trippy.

So, on the final day, Paprika is going to be everywhere around the village. Running, skipping, climbing up trees, jumping into the lake for a swim, eating a lot of food and so forth. She has no clue when this experiment will end, but given the noticeable pattern of it ending within a week or two...well a girl can't be sure, right? She has to get the most out of this experience before it ends.]

[biteshisface.livejournal.com]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[After several days as what he learned was technically a pixie, Vincent has found himself back to normal size. All would be well except for the fact that he's turned into a soft-light hologram (http://reddwarf.wikia.com/wiki/Hologram) and is unable to touch any solid objects that he encounters. There's also oddly a letter "H" branded on his forehead.]

[Vincent can be seen around town, occasionally attempting to touch things like trees or the sides of buildings, but with every attempt being completely useless.]
