Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jove was quietly reading in his room when the change happened. At first it was just a weird feeling he tried to brush off, but he couldn't just go back to his reading. It was... odd. Was this what living things felt like when they got sick? Yeah, he was definitely sick. That had to be it.

It wasn't until he had scrambled to his feet that he realized... the weird feeling wasn't the only thing that had changed. With a whine that was higher pitched than usual, he patted himself down to make sure everything else was in order. How... what was... Was his shifting ability going haywire? Did being sick cause those sorts of things to happen normally? Beginning to panic a little, Jove ran out of his room in such a hurry he left his foxfires blinking dumbly in his wake.

Avoiding making eye contact with EVERYONE, Jove ran straight towards the monster dorms. He had to talk to Ren, and make sure this was just a normal illness. He didn't want to go to the vet, but things were pretty messed up all of a sudden! The pup dashed up the stairs, down the hall, and burst into his brother's room. And stumbled back when he saw what he thought was Ren's evil twin.

Except... that ghoul had freckles.

She had...no...no friggin idea what had happened. And a part of her was seriously terrified to find out what. But, well...things were not quite right. Really not quite right. Like an uncomfortable not quite right.

And it had all occurred after she woke up. Though LW couldn't, for the life of her, remember why she'd been sleeping. It had felt more like something caused her to faint.

And then...there was the stumbling as she got up. Things feeling 'off'. And funny...it wasn't until she made it to her bathroom that things started to go haywire. Like the fact she was staring at an almost identical image of her brother, Nightstalker. Shaggy deep crimson red hair that fell messily just below her chin. Handsome and clearly masculine face. Tail that was nowhere near as large as her own flicked weakly behind her. Still fairly lean in build, but definitely acquired some muscle. She was also missing something. A pair of somethings actually. And she had gained something...

Then Tybalt had appeared and LW lost it. Busted out in a fit of hysterical laughter.

And thus, the clothing war began. Which started with the fact LW had been in nothing but boxers and a too tight tank top. That she pulled off (with a frown). Tybalt had offered her one of his many hoodies, which LW gratefully put on. And then realized that Tybalt needed something that fit him better than his current clothes.

Also...she did have an evil deviant side to her.

"Oh c'mon, Tybalt!" LW cackled, scrambling after the black dog. "It looks so good on you~" The she-wolf barely made it up the stairs before laughing at the squeak from Tybalt.

With some effort, the hoodie and boxer clad he-wolf stumbled into Ren's room. And then had to pause and blink. Several times. Oh Jack, Ren too?! ...Good thing she had clothing to spare. Her gaze flickered to Jove curiously, but he was spared. Besides, LW couldn't be that mean to the pup!

It seemed like the black dog had been right on his heels, but it was with Tybalt's arrival that Jove finally started to understand what had happened. To his knowledge Tybalt didn't have a female evil twin. It made Jove feel so very awkward, and he began to blush as he tried to avoid looking at both boils-turned-ghouls. He especially didn't want to look at their chests.

He was in the process of blushing and staring intently at the other side of the room when he heard Tybalt's comment. And he immediately felt his hackles rise. What the Jack did that mean, he wasn't affected! He was very affected! Was Tybalt saying he looked like a ghoul?!

Okay, so the pretty little barrettes Sparrow had given him weren't helping, but still!

He was all puffed up and starting to growl in a higher-pitched tone and then... LW came in. Jove immediately deflated. LW looked tougher in this unnatural form than the pup did in his.

LW continued to blink. Right up until Ren started squawking. A little more shrilly then he should have been able to. The (s)he-wolf winced as her ears rang slightly, stepping back. Then stopped and really took in the...situation.

And grinned. It was not the sweet, LW grin.

Crossing her arms and standing her ground, LW stared at ghoul-Ren. And had a sudden flashback to another gryphon ghoul - who she also happened to torment a little - and LW snorted. What was wrong with the hoodie and boxers? She was a Jack damned boil no-

She was currently a boil. Which meant she could do things like...take off the hoodie and have no shirt on! Which is exactly what she did.

"Fiiiiiine. Since this outfit doesn't seem to work for you....how about this instead?" LW stripped off the hoodie and held it lightly in her hand. Then she dramatically threw it towards the two boils-turned-ghoul standing in front of her. A wink was shot towards Jove. And yes, there may have been a little spunk thrown into the way she stripped out of the hoodie...

Besides! It wasn't her hoodie anyways. Tybalt surely would want it back~

Jove began to glare daggers once again, but this time it was pointed in Ren's direction. There it was again, now it was his own brother who was saying he looked like a ghoul! And not just because he was a ghoul! Surely there was a noticeable difference, there had to be!

The little wisp puffed up indignantly, all the while blushing slightly and trying not to look at the cleavage his two friends were suddenly sporting.

Male LW just stared at fem-Ren with a defiant look, making no move to put the hoodie back on. Oh hell no! She was making the best out of this while she could! Maybe some part of her devious mind was counting this as payback for...something. The (s)he-wolf couldn't think of anything pressing the gryphon deserved payback for.

Which meant this was purely for her own amusement as the boils-turned-ghouls were freaking out. Like...ghouls.

"Calm down, kitten. Geez. You're sounding mighty shrill~" LW said cheekily, eyes flickering to Tybalt...ina.

"And you look so darling in that outfit too!" She chirped, chuckling at the black dog. "And both of you, Jack! Take a friggin breath will you? I ain't got nothing neither of you haven't seen before!" There might have been a hint of that earlier panic she'd felt upon waking. But only a hint. Okay more than a hint.

"You two..." LW paused and glanced at Jove. "Possibly three." She wasn't sure how badly the pup was affected. Nor did she want to find out. Ren and Tybalt were bad enough! "You got breasts. I got something else!" And there went her cheeks, flaming red at the thought. Her violet eyes flashed, daring them to try and argue. Though she mostly looked at Tybalt. He would be her guess in who would argue back.

Sighing, LW held out the hoodie to him, glancing at Ren. "Fine! Can I borrow something of yours?" She asked, paused, tilted her head. "Y'know, dear heart? I think I have something I could put you in too~"

Jove let out a high pitched whine. Not LW too! This was bad, and not just because everyone apparently thought he looked like a ghoul. And all they could talk about was clothing?

The pup couldn't hold in his frustrations any longer, and did the first thing that came to mind. He gave LW's shin a hefty kick immediately before the werewolf was pounced by Ren. There was one advantage to little bodies, the gender switch didn't do much to his physical strength, and the kick was pulled off with the same timing and execution as normal. It felt kinda good, too.

Until his foot started aching.

He twirled around, intent on storming over to hide under Ren's bed, when he ran face-first into Tybalt's brand new chest.
