Welcome to Gaia! ::

Victor nodded, it was nice to just have a conversation with someone else for a change. The lizardman looked at the packet of blood Tommy had, Was that all the bat man could eat now? the couple times he met Tommy he always had a packet of blood with him.

"you could try getting some boiled crawfisssh, sssshell them, then get ssssomeone with a blender to puree them into a liquid then mixss it with the blood" Victor had to shift his tail out of the way, the trouble with laying on a couch with something so long was it was hard to keep comfortible with it hanging half off the couch.

The lizardman chuckled lightly at the movie scene, it really was a stupid way to end a bad remake. "Yeah....they could have done better than that, Itsss like they gave up near the end and wrote in that ssstupid ssscene"

Victor chuckled at the simpson quote, recognising the Grampa Simpson impression, and thought it was rather decent, and made him smile, not very noticible on his lower mouth with the much larger snout above it.

"I don't actually like beer, but hard liquor I'll drink, a couple large long issssland Icsse tea will give me a good buzz, but haven't had anything to drink ssssincsse I changed"

"yeah, drinking on a budget, know how that issss" Victor said as he sat up further, his eyebrows furrowing together at Tommy's question, it was a pretty serious question to have to consider, and it took a moment for him to think of an answer.

"...No, Itsss not wrong" Victor said as he paused to explain his reasoning. "The changesss, they have to ssstop sssometime, and if you...rather have the next change be ssssooner... issss it becaussse you'd want the changesss to end or issss it the waiting for the nexsst one bothering you?"

Victor nodded to Tommy, he could see that saddness in the batman's eyes. "Itsss alright Tommy, everyone needsss to vent and let thingssss out every oncsse and a while, doessss no good to keep emotionsss all bottled up" Victor also looked at Tommy's half formed wings. they were strange to look at, they didn't quite appear to be wings as much as they looked to be very long fingers with webbing between the extra long digits.

"I underssstand how you feel, being trapped between formsss, I'm sssure almosssst everyone here would rather have to only change oncsse, rather than all thissss waiting to have it happen again. You look clossser to having the changesss finisssh...and I'm sssure thingsss will get easssier and better oncsse the changesss are done, You can worry about other thingsss and not about when the nexsst change will be. I hope when my changesss end that I won't be ssso hard on people's eyesss" Victor said and chuckled lightly, he really did want to believe that in the end he wouldn't look as bad as he did now

"Four times?" Victor asked again even though Tommy had just told him that, it was hard to imagine if this was just his second change, and he changed to such an extreme measure, what else would change the next time it happened? how much more could his body and mind take? the lizardman shook his head, now really wasn't the time to dwell on that, at least not until it happened.

Victor laughed at Tommy's joke, but not because it was terribly funny. "You won't look that bad Tommy, bats aren't really that ugly"

He thought about some show he'd seen on animal planet some time, and crawled off the couch for a moment and started to poke around the animal books there, using his foreleg to hook a claw into the book's binding to pull it free of the shelf and to the floor, he picked out a book on mammals and another one of lizards. He clutched at the mammal one, fumbling with the book in his chest arms, holding the book with his lower chest arms, while the more humanlike pair turned the pages, having to tilt his head to the side to get a good look at the pages before crawling over slowly and setting it down in front of Tommy.

"I'd hate to be turned into that" Victor said as he tapped the picture of a very ugly Naked Mole rat with what used to be his index finger, now just a long curved claw. with a bit of effort, Victor got the book of lizards and reptiles onto the couch, and crawled back onto it, and started flipping though it.

"Might as well try and figure out what kind of lizard I am..."

Victor flipped though the pages, looking at each picture, but he wasn't a zoologist or very good at identifying reptiles of all things, and he only really had gotten a good look at himself once, and than broke the mirror afterwards.
He was thinking to himself when Tommy spoke up ahout Sabin and frowned. Why would Sabin play games with someone? Victor had heard Sabin was a bad egg from Chubbs, but a good person by Zachary, Victor would have to call this guy and find out for himself

"Not good that ssssomeone would play gamesss with people like that..." Victor said, his eyes widening when Tommy mentioned the mosquito. "They can make people into insssectsss too ? that'sss....horrible" Victor simply said, it really was mind boggling that the labs could so dramaticly alter people to make them into animals, but Insects were even more alien and in Victor's mind, far worse to have to change into. Victor set the reptile book down for now, he felt he need to change the topic of conversation.

"When would you like to move into my duplexss?"

Victor nodded at that. "Well, I'll keep the door unlocked ssso you can come in when you'd like, jussst knock firssst before you come in" The lizardman sat up more, looking over at Tommy more directly.

"I got to get myssself a boxss or sssomething, get rid of my old clothesss, I want to eventually have them take that wardrobe out of my room ssso I can get a nicsse large couch to lay on, Can't sssit in the chair but itsss good for when guessstss are there"
