[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?

[Fine! If she isn't going to listen he'll just walk away from her.]

[insidescoop]

[HMMMMM!!!

Fine! If he's going to be a stubborn baby about it, she'll make him unable to ignore her!

With a flash of feathers and seeming dust, she's darting over and sitting right on his head like a bird in a nest!

IGNORE HER NOW BUDDY.]

[mylastchance]

[HE'S GOING TO. He pauses as he feel's Carly land on his head, but then simply scowls and keeps stomping away.]

You are... so.... Annoying!!

[insidescoop]

And you're stubborn!

[POT. KETTLE.]

[mylastchance]

[WHATEVER. He just ignores her, walking off to the forest edge so he can be alone like he WANTS.]

[fortuneglass]

[fffffineeeee] You can't ignore me forever, [She huffs, fluffing her feathers and getting comfortable.] I'll sleep here if I have to!

[mylastchance]

I don't care!

[insidescoop]

I don't believe you, because you're still mad!

[mylastchance]

[He just frowns, before folding his legs in underneath him and sitting rather abruptly on the ground.]

[insidescoop]

H-WUOAH!

[Her tiny talons cling to the teen's hair, before she can relax.] Phew....

...wow, you must be really determined to ignore me if I can sit here...

[mylastchance]

[He is in fact. He exhales, letting himself relax. His eyes close and he starts counting his breaths. Unless Carly interrupts him again he's going to try meditating now.]

[fortuneglass]

[...Well. She admittedly doesn't have the heart to do that. She merely sighs, nestles more, and starts to sleep.

....and. Eventually.

Snore.]

[mylastchance]

[It takes a while for the snore to drag him out of it. When it does he feels more relaxed, and much more calm than he did before he started. He's still upset, but it's without the anger and frustration of before.]

Carly.

[He calls out without moving his head, hoping to wake her.]

[insidescoop]

Fwwwweeeeeeettttt...

[...She's still out, it seems. A light jostle might get through, but otherwise she's in Humbird Sleep.

Otherwise known as 'just about everything has shut off so that her metabolism doesn't Kill Her'.

Topor, for short.]

[mylastchance]

[He doesn't want to just drop her into his hand, but he's also worried he might hurt her if he just picks her up. Deciding if he did hurt her he could just heal her he gingerly reaches up to take her into his hand. He removes her from her temporary nest, and lets her stay sleeping on the palm of his hand instead.]

... Idiot.

[It's said, almost affectionately, as he stands and heads back to his trailer.]
