Welcome to Gaia! ::

After his run-in with Richard, Victor was silently glad that it had gone better than he had expected, other than the part with his tail accidently being stepped on and suprising Richard, at least the other man didn't scream and run away. It had started to get dark and Victor wished he had gone to eat earlier, it was harder to get around when you couldn't quite see where one was walking.

The lizardman noticed someone though, someone with a walker that was in between him and his duplex. Victor wasn't sure if he should avoid the man or just continue on his way. He supposed he ought to just continue on, if the man with the walker saw him he saw him, if he didn't than Victor could head to his duplex

Victor couldn't hear the high frequency bursts of sound, but he could see Tommy just fine now that he was closer, and was surprised at the other man's appearance, his arms had developed into wings that looked very similar to Zachary's wings, what was this guy? a bat?

"Evening." Victor replied, studying Tommy for a moment. " I'm Victor" the lizardman said, he could see the sad smile on the batman's face, but it didn't trouble him too much.

"What do you mean, what went wrong?" Victor asked, perhaps a little too loudly and a bit of anger behind his voice as he crawled closer towards Tommy. It had been a long day for Victor, having started it shattering a mirror, and falling nearly into a suicidal depression because of the extreme changes he had undergone. Then Tommy had to ask that question, the staring wasn't so bad, but that question, it brought back so many negative thoughts and feelings.

"How about It sssstarted to go wrong the moment I sssstepped off the helicopter?"

Victor still wasn't happy, he had gotten though meeting Zach and Richard alright, but why did this guy have to ask something like that? it was like asking a double-leg amputtee 'How that happen?' It was a thoughtless question, and it stung Victor like a bee.

"Thatssss right you were being a d**k" Victor said, his second larger mouth mimicing the motion of the mouth below. Victor moved his foreleg out to hook his claws on one of the walker's legs, holding it just enough to keep Tommy there, but without thumbs on that limb, Tommy could still go if he wanted.

"I jussst changed Yessssterday, I can't sssstand to walk and I've had ssssomeone ssssream when they ssssaw me, how do you think that makessss me feel? Issssn't bad enough I look like thisssss and have to crawl? I don't need you making me feel like I'm a Monsssster of sssome kind becausssse I'm Not!" Victor almost yelled the last part, giving the leg of Tommy's walker a small shake before letting it go, his chest arms clenching and unclenching their small fists, his tail sweeping though the dirt behind him.

"I'm sssstill ******** human where it countssss"

Normally Victor was a fairly nice guy, but since he had changed and Gaius had run away screaming all that leftover anger needed an outlet. But instead of getting into a shouting match with Tommy, Victor's voice became more calm and level.

"I know almosssst nothing is right here, and I know acting like everything issss normal isssss a farcsse and issssn't alwayssss the 'nicsse' thing to do, but neither issss being completely cssynical either." Victor paused, tapping his claws on the walker before letting it completely go, he thought he had more to say but couldn't think of anything, he wasn't the sort to get into arguments like this, and felt he ought try and change the direction this conversation might lead to. He looked towards the entertainment room, one place he hadn't been, his anger had gone down some, but not all the way.

"I'm ssssorry, lassst two daysss have not been good for me asss you can ssssee, you jusssst caught me at the wrong time" It really was the wrong time to meet anyone, the night was growing colder and he needed to go back to his duplex.

Victor nodded softly as he got himself into a more comfortible position, it was hard to continue to look up at Tommy, and had to look down occationally, to rest his neck. His temper had gone down as Tommy had calmed down as well.

"We all need an outlet...ssssomething to keep bussssy and not turn on each other" Victor said as he looked at Tommy's legs a moment, remembering something from a physical therapy nurse he once knew. "You sssshould try walking waisssst deep in water, to sssstengthen your legssss" Victor suggested to the bat man.

Now that the momentary temper flare-up had passed, maybe it would do some good to make some small talk. "What moviessss you like to watch?"

It probably was a good thing Victor's ears were not sensitive enough to hear the echolocation, it probably would have given him a headache. Victor was surprised to learn that Tommy might suffer the same fate as him, and have to learn to crawl.

"Itsss alright to be sssscared, I wassss too, when I changed and couldn't sssstand but we all have to get by one sssstep at a time, one Day at a time" Victor's chest arms moved a bit while he spoke but for the most part the rest of him was still, he had managed to keep his second mouth from moving too much. "I wassss going to be a Pssssychologisssst before I came here, and that wasssss going to be my outlet, to help otherssss with their problemsssss, if you want to talk anytime, I'm in duplexss Sssseventy Five."

The Lizardman looked back up at Tommy "You would like Ssssaw three, I sssaw it a while ago, very good"
