Rodney - Anything goes
Rodney felt his legs almost give out with relief, offering Lawrence a hand and just wanting to draw him close.
"Butch?" He asked, having to remind himself that the shields still worked, no matter how Lawrence looked. "Thank you. Thank you, thank you, good dog."

Merric (anything)
He looked vaguely startled at Roswell's pleading look, and even more startled by Lysander's proclamation of I am Roswell. Merric opened his mouth to say something - though admittedly, he wasn't entirely sure what that was - except he didn't get very far, because a serious of unfortunate and admittedly surprising events left Lawrence in a heap on the floor, a blond haired young man stalking out, and Merric standing awkwardly with Roswell and Lysander wondering what on earth had just happened.
"Was that..." Merric started, then changed his mind. "Are you all right, Roswell?"Nash (anything)
He probably should have been more concerned about Mik throwing Lawrence across the room but he really wasn't. It wasn't like Lawrence hadn't tried to make his life a living hell; and for that matter, Nash wasn't even entirely certain why Lawrence was even here in the first place, though he was relatively sure it was because of Melvin being here. Or rather, Melvin being here while Nash was also here.
He came to stand beside Melvin, arms folded across his chest, and raised an eyebrow.
"Never a dull moment."

[ Peyton - Anything ]She'd heard Lysander's comment, and all at once the easy going feel of the evening had shattered. Her smile, half wilted, froze on her face as she glanced across the room at Melvin and Nash, and then over to Mik as the young man started to piece it together. His reaction, as it sunk in, made the Sun regret having not told him. She'd kept the info to herself to save him from being crushed, because Malkam had told her she should, but how was this any better? It had only been a matter of time before he'd found out the owl hadn't been just an owl. It was the sort of complicated deception that was bound to fall apart eventually. She winced as she watched him grab the bird and shake it, not at all caring if Lawrence received any sort of injury, but at the anger on Mik's face, in his voice. It was hard to watch. Then he was throwing the bird against the wall and stalking out of the room. [ Zeke - Anything ]Zeke opened his mouth to answer, but closed it again as what was going on in the room caught his attention. Lysander's comment, Mik's reaction. It was enough to have tanned features darkening into something close to disgust as he watched the the scene play out in front of them, concluding with Mik rushing out of the room, and Lawrence himself rising up from behind the couch the owl had disappeared behind. His lip curled as he watched Rodney rushing over to him, then shook his head and sank back against the cushions beside the petite trainee. "Magic and bullshit," he answered, annoyed. "Word to the wise, stay away from that old blonde ********." Zeke and slouched down enough to be level with the woman, and his voice was low. He wasn't in a hurry to draw attention from the other side of the room. He just didn't have the patience for it.

[Lawr]
Lawrence felt like it had all been a bit dramatic and didn't understand why Mikael had been so upset anyway, he'd had an owl, it was the same difference. He just had one that could understand his stupid instructions and generally behave really well.
"Yes Butch." he said, giving Rodney a slightly puzzled look too, taking the offered hand to stand. "I'm not made of glass."
People were ridiculous and making a mountain out of a molehill.
He dusted himself off and moved to sit on the chair he'd been thrown behind, crossing a leg daintily across his knee. "Suppose I might as well be properly present." he said to no one in particular. "Shame it's not a game of truths though."

Rodney - Anything goes
"You're going to play?" Rodney asked. "Lawrence, I just came with Mik. I thought you did, too. I know he said he needed some space for now, but- this...this probably isn't the place we should be waiting. You-" he whispered "you don't have a very good sense of boundaries, and it's...it's all- dares for single people, and," he dropped his voice lower, "Melvin is here- it's a bad idea."

[Hika - Anything Goes] She watched the man rise up from where the owl had been, her expression even more stunned. Zeke's words had her looking back at him, and she just stared, silently, then finally, after a long moment, she spoke. Her voice trembled a little with nerves, and she said "M... Magic? I mean, I got we fight magic, and our Weapons are magic, but... there are humans who can do magic, too? Magic to let them shapeshift?" She sounded somewhat terrified. If humans could shapeshift, how could she trust ANY animal she met, or maybe even any person? "And... avoid? I will... That sounds... like a plan." Somehow, given the behaviours displayed, and the way the older man acted, it just seemed wise. He didn't come across as safe, somehow.

Roswell - Anything goes
"Yes, Merric. I'm alright. Thank you for your concern." At least some people noticed. Lysander remained completely oblivious. Although he had rescued him from the owl, sort of. The owl who was apparently a person. He should have figured it out. After all, he knew about Lysander's...ability.
"It's just my delicate womanly feelings, apparently."
The quip was more dejected than acidic.

[Lawr - Whatevs]
Lawrence had a feeling Rodney would complain, even though he'd been taking part himself and taking off items of clothing alongside making people be kind to one another. Lawrence though wouldn't be allowed to play because he was what? Lacking a sense of boundaries.
It rankled his pride to have it put so plainly, as though he was deficient. It reminded him of the tone his mother used to use when explaining why he couldn't be in the normal classrooms with the others. Quiet, to protect their own shame as well as his.
He clenched his one hand very tightly. "Melvin has done nothing at all, to you or me Rodney. He's been over with Nash this whole time. Ten minutes, that's all I require, it is very rude to simply depart."
He didn't unclench his hand.
[Lysander - Anything Goes]
"The guy was an owl." Lysander explained as if this helped after the chaos which had broken out. The man looked all right anyway so that was fine, nothing had been too disrupted. Roswell looked fine though, so he wasn't sure what Merric was concerned about.
"He didn't get hit with anything." he said, before the womanly feelings comment sunk in a little.
"Oh right something hurt your feelings. Well they'll be all right in a bit." he said, and clapped Ros on the shoulder like he was a horse.

[ Zeke - Anything ]Arms folding, Zeke's nose wrinkled at the question, and he shook his head again. "Not how you imagine it. Occasionally we find things, magical artifacts. They do different things, but some of them can transform the one carrying it into other things." He wasn't sure he wanted to get into a long discussion on the abilities for artifacts, especially given he only had a fairly basic knowledge of them. Ever had one, along with a good number of other hunters. A glance to the side showed Hikaru looked a little spooked, and he unfolded his arms to sling one around her shoulders in what was meant to be a comforting gesture.

Rodney - anything goes
Rodney gave the room a nervous look.
"Ten minutes," he agreed reluctantly. Although what good could come of those ten minutes, he couldn't imagine.
Roswell - anything goes
Roswell started at the clap, his eyepatch being knocked askew by the force.
He readjusted it, dialing back to a cool, "As you say, sir."

[Hika - Anything Goes]Hika looked relieved at the explanation, and the arm around her shoulder seemed to provide her some comfort. "Well... at least that's good to know, on that level. Does it give the ability to be ANY animal, or only one?" She was still somewhat suspicious of the situation, but she would be less freaked out if she knew to watch out for, say, just an owl. And then she overheard the comment about Womanly feelings, and she processed what all Lysander had said during his mocking of Roswell, and she sat up straight, her eyes going FURIOUS. "Woman's feelings are no different then men's, and saying someone should have been born a woman, just because they allow themselves to feel. That's degrading to both women AND women who were born into the wrong body! How RUDE!" Her eyes were focused, hard, on Lysander's face.

[Lysander - Anything goes]
Lysander gave Ros a look which was generally familiar as the Lysander is thinking very hard look and fished in his pockets.
He produced a packet of polo mints, fished one out and offered it to Ros.
"I want a smile in exchange." he said brightly.
Someone else was speaking up and this seemed to sink in as well and he turned to give Hika a look over his glasses.
"What the hell is a woman born into the wrong body?"
He gave this some thought for a moment. "Ros am I a horse born into the wrong body?"

[Hika - Anything Goes]Hika shot to her feet, now, her eyes flashing with rage. "A HORSE born into the wrong body? How dare you make light of such things!" She stomped her foot, her slender body trembling with how angry the man had made her. She had no idea who this ridiculous giant was, but he was clearly awful, with the way he spoke. "What does it SOUND like a woman born into the wrong body is? A person born with the spirit and soul of a woman, who IS a woman, but their physical sex, thanks to Genetics, is male! Just as a man born into the wrong body is a man in spirit and soul, with a sex of female. It's not a laughing matter, and mocking the transgendered by making comments about being a horse... Ooooo!"

[ Zeke- Anything ]It happened so quickly, and so unexpectedly (though later he'd realize it really wasn't), that Zeke's reaction to the petite woman clambering to her feet was a bit delayed, but all the same, he was rolling up to his feet as well, and in one swift movement had scooped the trainee up into his arms bridal style. Strong arms holding her tightly, in case she struggled or reactively started swinging. "Hey, easy," he murmured close to her ear, voice a deep rumble. "It's not worth it, he doesn't have the sense enough to understand." Not malicious, not purposefully, but unwittingly cruel, given the circumstances. Lysander was a thick headed idiot, with about as much tact as a rock.

[Lysander - Anything]
The look Lysander gave her was the sort of expression he reserved usually for people trying to convince him that horses weren't the best animal on the entire planet. The thing was, as far as he was concerned, everything was spirits and energies, there could very well be a horse spirit tangled up in him, maybe that was his energy and it was something that he'd more or less come to believe. It wasn't in his body or anything but to him it was hell of a lot more plausible than the idea you could just wake up the wrong gender. Species, yes maybe because species mattered. Gender just...didn't. To him it was as ridiculous as deciding you should have had blue eyes or red hair.
So Hika was obviously crazy, that was of course the only thing to take away from all of this.
"Uh. Leave horses alone." he said. "I'd love to be a horse born into the wrong body, and my weapon is a horse too so don't be rude to her either. She's in my body right now and that's kind of the wrong one for her. Soooo."
He sat back down in his chair. "Also I dunno what sex has to do with it, if you are having sex with females you are probably a dude. Probably. Just stick to men, it's easier."
He raised a brow at Zeke picking her up like a caveman claiming a wife though. "Yeah. He'll probably do." he said with a smile.
