[OPEN] Changes in Me

[mylastchance]

Who: Lauren and you.
What: He mad.
Where: The carnival grounds.
When: Before agent-nappings

I. He nearly shrieks when he sees it. He's washing his hands, leaving the restroom when he catches sight of himself in the mirror. There it is, a large leaf growing out out of the top of his head, and falling down over his hair. He stares at it in shock, lifting it up and trying to pull it out, but of course it doesn't budge.

"Susan? SUSAN?!"

II. Despite the change Lauren wasn't reluctant to leave his trailer. He had a leaf growing out of his head instead of hair, and it refused to be moved. His ears were longer and more elf-like as well. He should have known it was coming, of course, but for some reason he hadn't expected it to happen like this. Although many individuals at the carnival were strange in appearance, he'd had no reason to assume it was because of working here, or that it would happen to him. He knows he was being naive, and that only makes him angrier. That's the feeling that motivates him now, the only reason he can make himself leave the trailer.

He can't stay in that small space right now. His feelings were getting the best of him, boiling over and he didn't have any idea how to deal with it. Instead he stomped throughout the carnival grounds, staff in hand. He was angry and it showed in the tension of his shoulders and the scowl on his face.

Will you get in his way?

Susan wasn't really doing much, just messing around with Fluff or something of the sort, when he heard Lauren start to freak out about something. So of course he went to investigate, looking curious and a bit concerned.

"Lauren...? Is everything okay?"

[mylastchance]

He turns to look at Susan, his eyes wide in fear. As he turns to face Susan, the source of his terror is obvious. There's a large leaf covering part of his hair.

"Something is growing out of my head!"

He gestures as he speaks before looking back at the mirror in disbelief again. Oh god, what was he going to do?

[wild_magic]

He still looks a little concerned, but not as much once he sees it.

"I get leaves in my hair all the time, I'm sure it'll come out. Just tug on it."

[mylastchance]

He lifts it up, tugs it and lets it drop again with growing silent hysteria.

"Susan, it's stuck to my skull!"

[wild_magic]

Well, that's a little less normal. He frowns and comes closer, reaching up to try and tug on it himself.

"Well, why would you have a plant in your hair, that's just weird!"

[mylastchance]

"Ow!" he cries as Susan tugs. He tries to pull away from his brother, but that only makes it worse.

"I don't know why! Stop it!"

[wild_magic]

He stops tugging after Lauren reacts. Obviously Lauren was telling the truth in that case, but that doesn't stop his frowning.

"Well... Tell it to stop growing!"

[mylastchance]

"You want me to talk to the leaf that's growing out of my own head?!"

His hysteria has hit it's max, and he is basically shouting now as he reaches critical freak out levels.

[wild_magic]

"Yeah! Do you have a better idea?" As Lauren gets more worked up, Susan stays mostly calm, just giving his brother a weird look at his freaking out. He doesn't see how a leaf is the worst thing in the world like Lauren's acting like it is, his brother is a druid after all.

[mylastchance]

He closes his eyes, groaning in frustration before finally giving in and giving it a try.

"It's not answering."

[wild_magic]

"...Maybe it's mad that we pulled on it? You should apologize!"

[mylastchance]

"Susan. It's not going to work!"

[wild_magic]

"It could!"

He doesn't know why it wouldn't. If it's a plant then Lauren's magic should work right?
