A Bit of a 'Downgrade' [OPEN]

Who: THE MAN, GONGENZAKA and you i guess
What: A MAN COMES OUT FROM THE GAME...And becomes Tree Covered...
When: Late Day 98 - Day 100
Where: Mainframe, The Lake, Carnival Grounds...
Warnings: N/A

[A WINNER IS YOU! - Late 98, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, MAINFRAME]

[When the game cube rises back up, Gongenzaka pays no mind to the curious addition of a cable or two off his back. There are more important things to do after all, such as celebrate. They won. 'GAME OVER - COMPUTER WINS' is echoing in the air, and it is quickly joined by rousing laughter and excited yips from his snubbull.] HAHAAAHAHAAAAA!! [He laughs, grabbing the nearest person and pulling them into a crushing hug.] WE DID IT..!

WE'VE SUCCEEDED..!

[Did you need that spine you didn't need that spine right? (Also, you might be getting a bit wet. He is absolutely crying.)]

[DAY 99 - LAKE]

[It is strange, but once he returned to the Carnival, he began to feel rather...lethargic. He considered using the scroll of meditation to help recover some-after all, the day following when the Game touched down would be the start of the Performance Week-but eventually decided against it, instead trotting up toward the lake and springs. His intention had been to go to the springs, but...

...The minute so much water lays before him, he finds himself running as fast as his legs can carry him, vaulting off the side and crashing in with an enormous SPLASH. He doesn't so much leave as surface slightly, shaking off a bare minimum of the water as his proud pompadour falls flat over his face, the usual combined strength of gel and dryness falling apart.
] Hoooo... [Who knows...why he needed this much water, but he feels a lot better now, that much is certain. He moves some of the hair from his face-the black strands far longer than most would have likely expected from him, and their roots tinged with what could be a mix of green and brown.

...Hmm. Hopefully he didn't splash anyone...
]

[DAY 100 - CARNIVAL GROUNDS/TRAILER/COOKHOUSE]

[So. ...It appears this is why he needed the water.] A...AUH...

[Quite literally overnight, Gongenzaka's body becomes coated in plantlife-stretching from within his hair to move down along his back and shoulders, all through his tail and even along the underside of the taur-body he has. His silvery white fur is dotted with bark from the life now growing off of him, tendrils of equally pale wood coiling down through his limbs to allow various flowers and leaves to sprout from tufts of once 'flame-like' fur. The leaves and flowers, one will notice from any long distance, are at least themselves a 'flaming' red. Red, Japanese Maple, dark rose (nearly red themselves) sakura blossoms among them, and a few other plants that he himself can't fully recognize. His tail seems to have been completely replaced by them in fact-though despite all appearances, it seems people can still sit on his back if the question ever arises.

Or rather, they can sit there and not end up seated on twigs-it instead feels like a bed of flowers and leaves, as soft as the fur once was. (And he is, somehow, still wearing a T-Shirt today.)

It is not the only change, perhaps-but it is certainly the one that Gongenzaka pays most attention to, and certainly the only one he sees at this point in time over himself-Suzu the snubbull is also left with a minor change of her own in fact, and the pokemon follows him around for the day bearing a collar of moss about her neck, with similarly fluffy patches at the base of her ears like little bows.

It's.

Quite impressive, really, though he doesn't honestly feel it. If anything, as he makes his way from his Trailer to the Cookhouse for some food, he feels a little lost about everything.

Mmnnhhh...I, the man Gongenzaka, can barely tell that I have such limbs to control...

[Buttttt he will try. And...maybe they wiggle??]
pipers_son: (leyline) (And the cops told us we were all)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-10 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Well, new additions like this can always be a bit tricky ta- ah! [He points.] They did a bit of squirmin'!
otoko: (HRMMNN =3=)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-10 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
HMM!? Did they?!

[OHH-]

...now if only I, the man Gongenzaka, could better focus on what caused it...

[shoot]
pipers_son: (leyline) (FYI I found your friend asleep in my)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-10 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
....Want me ta poke it again?
pipers_son: (leyline) (And the cops told us we were all)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-12 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
What, ya don't think that would help?
pipers_son: (I was the only one at the party that)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but the movement still lets ya know where in yer body it is.... So maybe ya can get through it bit by bit.

Or somethin'.
otoko: (OW...)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-14 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmnnnn... [The fact of the matter is, he can't quite determine if his unease is because he really thinks this won't work, or because he doesn't want to be tickled again.

....
] ...V...Very well, [he concedes, grimacing. LET'S...FIND THE VINES.]
pipers_son: (leyline) (Also what is a socially acceptable)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-15 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[TRUST HIM, GONGENZAKA. HE'S A PROFESSIONAL.]

[Still, with that blessing given, Joker comes by again and at last tries to not be purposefully ticklish as he begins to feel along the vines.]


How about that?
otoko: (HRMMNN =3=)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-16 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is a twitch-but to Joker's credit, now that he's not aiming to tickle, he's having some strong success there. Gongenzaka closes his eyes and tries to focus on what it is that he IS feeling however, frowning.] Hmmmnn...

...If I, the man Gongenzaka, focus, it is almost as though there is sensation in my hair, if anything...
pipers_son: (Don't get me wrong)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-17 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
....Hair? Really?

[That's sure not the answer he was expecting.]
otoko: (HRMMNN =3=)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-18 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It is what I, the man Gongenzaka, said, is it not? It is akin to the feeling one would have if lightly moving hair, except somehow more...'Alive'.

[It's hard to explain, man.]
pipers_son: (insovereign) (You've never even broken a bone.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-19 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Usually yer hair doesn't move, 'tho.

["Usually" being the keyword here. It is the carnival.]

And that 'alive' feelin' give ya anythin' ta work off of?
otoko: (-3- hrmnnnnn)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-20 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmm...somewhat...

[Joker is right after all, in saying 'hair doesn't usually move'. He grimaces, but focuses, and the vines seem to give a bit of a twitch.] ...I, the man Gongenzaka, suppose another good analogy could be attempting to move one's smallest toe...

[On its own, rather. Hard stuff, that.]
pipers_son: (If he survived pride)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-21 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that kinda thing is doable. It'll just take a bit of work, but that's most stuff here.

Anyway, want ta stop here? Now that ya know what's back there.
otoko: (-3- hrmnnnnn)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-22 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaah, practice is certainly something that I, the man Gongenzaka, must dedicate myself to... [For a lot of things now, it feels like. Yeesh.

As it is, he turns to properly face Joker now, giving his answer merely through that.
] I, the man Gongenzaka, think that should be fine, yes... ...we've certainly found more than I expected already... [He murmurs, shaking his head.]
pipers_son: (leyline) ("Five things that make you perfect. Go.")

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-23 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, ain't that always how it goes? [He shrugs.] Glad I could help a bit, anyway.

[Even if he was a jackass for a second there.]
otoko: (uwu)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-24 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnn....it would seem so... [Ahhh well.

...Yes even though you were kind of a dick for a bit there. One more nod, and he'll look toward maybe getting some food instead.
] Aah-with any luck, I, the man Gongenzaka, will be able to find proper use from them soon enough.

[Whatever 'they' the vines...represent, at least.]
pipers_son: (leyline) (Also what is a socially acceptable)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-06-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Listen... Friends mess around with friends when those friends get new body parts, it's fiiiiiine. Stretching, wings fluttering, Joker chuckles.]

We can only hope. Anyway. I'll see ya later, eh?
otoko: (uwu)

and that's that-

[personal profile] otoko 2017-06-24 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm! I, the man Gongenzaka, shall see you later, yes.

[Only You could make a casual farewell sound this excessive, Gon..................................]
