Welcome to Gaia! ::

... Crown? "Well, it's lined paper, but if it works," Jordan said, and pulled a page out of the notebook to hand to Harrison. Another mental effect, he was guessing. From what Harrison was saying, he seemed to think he was a prince. Or possibly a princess. Okay, definitely a princess.

"I don't think it'd be wise to try," Jordan said, eyeing Marcat warily. "I mean, amphibians and mammals are completely different orders of animal. It could even make it worse." He was making that up on the spot, but it was for a good cause. "I think he wants to be put on the counter."



He amended Marcus's entry in the notebook, as well.

Dakota grinned as she continued to roll her boobs around before dropping them and looking at Ceres. Dude whatever she was eating, it defenitly had its perks for the Sun hunter. A little jealous that Ceres was over Jordan but....she had his own pair to play with after all.

She watched Marcus though and for some reason got the urge to want to hug the cute fluffly cat.

"Boss.....you look so cute and small and fluffy." Dakota bit her lips before crossing her arms. Ack. What the hell?!?! Cats were not cute.

"Ryan??" Her eyes went wide before giggling. Oh my god now he/she was giggling???? Even Harrison was turning into a diva in here.

"I think.....I should try a different cookie....or treat....or whatever."

"Be careful if you do," Jordan said to Dakota, eyeing the plates of baked goods warily. "At least it should wear off eventually ... the stuff in the cookies did before, and Julie's trying to duplicate that, so the effects should be temporary." Hopefully very temporary.

" ... It might be useful to know if the effect is replaced or if it combines somehow," he said after a moment, and grimaced. "I'm not going to ask anyone to do that, though." He nodded to Ryan; if the guy would rather keep his mouth shut and just not talk or sing or whatever till the effect wore off, that was just fine by Jordan. He'd been sort of haphazardly assigned to monitor this experiment, and he should probably be thorough about it, but he wasn't forcing anyone to do something they didn't want to.

If the odd effect was replaced with a different odd effect when a different cookie or whatever was eaten, though, he might just see if he could get Ceres to eat something else. He needed his arm back, and she was kind of creeping him out.

He just sat on the counter. Looked at them.

Jumped down.

Looked at them all again.


And began to meow very loudly.
None of you understood him.


Ohhh there was some cookie on the floor. Did he dare eat it? ...WHY NOT. maybe it would cure him, (He doubted it). But he did suddenly feel..affectionate. He was also.. taller. HUZZAH HE WAS HUMAN AGAIN. And... Jordan.... This.... his feelings. So wrong yet so right. Grinning Marcus leaned into his friend. "Heyyyyyy Jordan. How you doin'?"


This would mean he'd hit on both guys that had suffered his promotion with.


Well done Marcus. Well done.

More? And Julie was holding the book upside down ... "I think we can manage a few more trials," Jordan said hastily, and eyed the table. He was the only one who hadn't yet had any of the pastries. While he really shouldn't make everyone else do the experimenting, Julie had told him to observe and record ... it had less to do with the fact that he really didn't want to sample any of the things ...

His internal debate was interrupted by a suddenly-human-again Marcus cuddling up to him. He reflexively tried to lean away, and discovered that that meant leaning into Ceres, which was equally as awkward. He'd seen what happened with Leon and the bandages. Nope. Nope nope nope.

Instead, he sidled carefully towards the table, picked up the nearest confection, and offered it to Marcus. "A special present," he said, and hoped his smile wasn't as strained as it felt. "Just for you."

Petra collapsed then, and he glanced over at her, trying not to panic - no, she was visibly breathing, just - asleep?

"Could someone check on Petra?" Jordan asked, glancing around to see if he could find anyone not currently crazy - or at least crazy in a different and less cuddly sort of way. "Ryan? Harrison?"

Dakota's eye's widened as he looked at Marcus and Ceres. Now they BOTH were clinging to the Sun hunter. Holy s**t.

"Boss, look, okay. I am pretty sure there is a limit to flirting. Even I don't go after men while their taken....I mean I don't go after men...or..." Yeah he had no idea what he was saying now, his mind was starting to process things like a girl, took a thought and send it through a million little factories.

He was also concerned about Ryan, sauntering over to the boy before trailing a finger down his arm. "Ryan....say Ah." Dakota smiled sweetly as he took the boy's hand down from his mouth and shoved a sweet fruit tart looking thing in it. "Don't fight it Ryan, just don't fight it." Apparently Dakota was taking lessons from Julie on how to feed a Trainee.

"is she okay Harrison?" Dakota looked over to Petra and grimaced, at least she got the lucky way out. She was knocked out while the rest of them we're....singing, a girl, a princess and Two of them we're currently hanging over Jordan like he was god's finest creation. A modern day Adam and Eve....and extra Adam(marcus)....

Dakota grinned as Ryan swallowed the pastry but was sad at nothing changing. What the hell man. Crossing his hands under his boobs, he gave a pout and was going to say something before Ryan shoved a pastry in his mouth.

Glaring he chewed and swallowed (only cause he had too) and gasped as he felt his body shift back. "Well goddamit Ryan, are you satisfied now?" Dakota looked at his flattened chest and manlier build. "I don't have any god damn boobs to fondle anymore." He sighed before tilting his head to look down at Ryan....and then the trainee was getting farther and farther away. So was the ground....

"Am I...." Dakota bumped into a light in his rise in the air, cursing as he rubbed the sore spot on his head before flapping his hands to move away from anything dangerous. "What the hell?" He moved easily now as the ground stayed farther down before grinning, flipping Ryan off. "Look who's flying around up here Ryan? Eh Jealous? How about you sing me a song for my ascension into AMAZINGNESS?" Dakota grinned as he turned his body, doing little flips and pushing himself off the ceiling.

* A *

"I wonder what would happen if I left the Kitchen...." Would he attempt it? Could he? "Do I want to float away, that is the question?" he grinned as he swam in the air.

Marcus took the confection like it was a gift from the heavens. "I knew you cared." He whispered, grinning and staring into those amazing orbs Jordan called eyes. Oh Marcus could just get lost in them. A wistful sigh as Marcus bit into the pastry. Someday Jordan he- wait. Wait. Him and..Jordan. wait what the ********? No. "Goddamn it do you guys just- aim to ruin people's lives sometimes I-" He was floating. Holy ******** he felt light and he was- "The ******** is going on?"

Oh God. Looking at Dakota, then at himself. "The hell Julie did you just- Are like some willy wonka clone? Just- how does this even- Dakota you're going to run into something jesus chirst-" Marcus hit the ceiling, crossing his arms as he slowing tilted upside down, coat falling off practically. "Someone hand me a goddamn pastry. I'd rather be a cat again." Or Passed out. Petra you were so lucky.
