Welcome to Gaia! ::

He tilted his head again. The head voice called Tracey sounded grumpy. He probably wanted fish too.

Sardines? Sardines were a type of fish! Fish! Fish were important and there was never enough of them. They had to summon weapons for fish?! He could do this.

And did. Getting out from under the axe with less hassle than before and standing on it proudly.

"Shiny! Fish! Exchange!"

Syd groaned. She stood there with her arms full of slightly damp blankets and stared at the weapon that had just been summoned. "Really, can't you keep that in your pants--I mean--"

And she turned bright red again. "That's not what we wanted," she said with a sigh. Then she saw Sasha panicking. "No, no, Sasha! That's REP!" she said. "They've been giving out bandages that turn you into a penguin--it doesn't last long! But it's a bit cold when you switch back."

Sasha was a little too busy beating Repguin with his own scarf quite ineffectually to really realize what Sydney was trying to say.

"Put it away. You're scaring the female." Jordan eyed Rep grumpily.

... Syd had blankets. He waddled over to her, took hold of a corner of blanket, and tugged. "Please?"

Syd pulled one of the blankets off the pile and dropped it on Jordan before heading for Sasha. "Wait! Wait, don't!" she said. "He's just a little confused right now," she told the other girl, trying to stop her from scarf whipping the poor guy. "Come on, now, he's just showing it off! He seems to like shinies a lot in this form."

Oh the indignity of being saved by Jerry. Even as a penguin it wasn't tolerable. It merely made his plight all the sadder.

Still there wasn't much else he could do, even despite the niggling desire to do as he was told, he didn't want to dismiss Tracey, he was a giant shiny thing. And was his. His shiny thing. He just wanted to barter for fish. Fish were shiny things too.

He flailed his flippers ineffectually and tried to catch the scarf in his beak as long as the attack continued.

Candace was out for a walk. A nice, normal walk with no monsters and no techs and no doctor leering over her regardless of how strongly she felt for said doctor. Just a quiet walk, snuggled happily into her coat..until she heard the squawking.

And suddenly a voice that did not match the words associated with it. <******** penguins? No. No way. That couldn't have been Sasha she heard. Brow furrowed with concern, Candace quickly changed direction to make her way toward Sasha, Sydney...

And several penguins goddamnit guys. "William. Put your goddamn weapon away." She said sternly, eyes narrowed at him. "..Where're Jerry's glasses?" She asked after a moment, noticing the scarred penguin was sans specs.

Wait. Sasha. Why are you freaking out oh god Sasha why what is even what Sasha no! "Sasha? What's wrong? Are you okay?" She was freaking out why ahhhhhh they're just penguins Sasha adorable cute little penguins see look how cute some of them are oh nooooooo! Why was she sorry? Did she have something to be sorry about?

Aside from swearing?
