[OPEN] Sher-meleon

Who: Sherlock and you!
What: In which Sherlock gets turned into a chameleon for running away.
Where: Here and there
When: D33-D39



A. I'm not anyone's pet! (Sherlock's and Gon's Trailer)

There was a very colorful, small lizard sitting angrily on top of a table in the trailer. How could a chameleon be sitting angrily?

Yet somehow, it was.

Sherlock was not happy, and that was putting it lightly.

It had taken him an age to even get over here. Slow, methodical climbing and steps. For a man as impatient as he, it was nothing less than sheer agony. Not to mention the horror he was slowly trying to and failing to get over. He tried to run away from the Carnival, yes, but this-this in return for...this was impossible, improbable, and yet it happened. He wasn't even the least bit human save for his mind. And even that was filled with weird instincts.

He was a lizard. He thought he was upset before about his scales but this was a million, billion times worse. He was just this small little thing with weird eyes and a weird tail and--oh no.

Before he could stop himself his tongue shot out and snatched a fly out of midair. It crunched in his mouth a millisecond later. Worst of all, it tasted great to him.

AAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH--

B. Lunchtime

There was a small greenish, red, and yellow chameleon slowly changing colors and sitting on top of a ladle next to the food for everyone.

Just staring, occasionally looking with one independent eye, then another. Every so often his tongue would shoot out and grab a fly.

He really liked flies okay?

C. I'm a man, blast it!

It was painstaking, but he did it. It literally took him several hours and a nap. But he did it. A pen in his mouth and a piece of paper. He began dragging the paper through the Carnival, wishing to show it to anyone who met him.

The note said:

I am Sherlock Holmes. I am not an ordinary chameleon. Please help.

PS. Do not pet me. I will bite.

D. Wildcard! Feel free to start any situation!

Sherlock is very nearly squished by a hand reaching down to grab the ladle. Fortunately, Hinawa spots the little creature before it's too late, yanking her hand away.

"Oh! Well hello, little one," She greets him. "This isn't a very good place for you to be right now, someone might think you're a pest! Why don't we get you outside in the fresh air?"

And here comes the giant hand again...!
sunflowerfields: (You'll never know)

Hinawa pulls her hand away in a hurry, letting out what could only be described as a bleating sound in surprise. How embarrassing.

"Oof! Now that's not very nice! How am I supposed to get you to safety if you won't let me pick you up?"
sunflowerfields: (I'll think of you night and day)

If she didn't know better, she'd say the little critter was sticking its tongue out at her. Rude.

"Now, now, no need to be scared," She says, lifting the ladle itself instead. "It may be noisy and hot in here, but I promise I'll take you and put you on a nice leaf!"
sunflowerfields: (I'll worry about you)

"Whoops! Don't fall off now, little one!" Hinawa holds her other hand underneath to catch him if he falls. "I should find something a little better to carry you in... oh! Here we go!"

And now he's being taken to what looks like an empty bread basket. With a lid.
