Quill

Utterly unusual. [RP OC] #Lodger

[Quill @CalmDeception]

#MeetingRev If Quill had things his way, he would not be here training Mabel, but because there was no way (cont) https://t.co/KktjDfvEQc

[Quill @CalmDeception]

#WaterFirst (Mention: @TacklingTiger) Technically, Quill's eyes were on Rev, but he was not actually looking (cont) https://t.co/I4z8Y1d718

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@TacklingTiger [Though Quill does not himself have experience with that kind of bond, he still understands on some levels. Nodding, he strides to the door to open it politely.]

Just be back by the end of those five days. Anytime in between then and now is fine, but not necessary.

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@TacklingTiger -You can head out now if you like. Unless you wanna stick around and listen to the sound of my patience thinning.

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@TacklingTiger [Another rare smile creeps across his lips. Even incorporeal animals are better than people, he thinks. Talking to them is so much less stressful and nauseating.]

Glad to hear it.

[Standing up to his full height again, he stretches with a loud groan.] Raph should be back soon.-

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@TacklingTiger @MerryMabel -Part of this gamble relies on the blood of a friend of mine. They're...unique. Their blood is the key to shifting your appearance. But I don't know how that'll effect you exactly.

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@TacklingTiger @MerryMabel [Quill's nose wrinkles as he ponders what to say exactly.]

I have no idea. [May as well be honest and not give him false hope.] I've never done this before. Maybe you'll only be human. Maybe it'll change at random. [Again growing quiet for only Hobbes to hear, Quill shares]-

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger [Thoughtfully, Quill pauses.]

Nothing too specific about /us/. [As much as he would like to place blind trust in Hobbes' judgment, animals can sometimes poorly judge character. For his own sake, Quill would rather not have to deal with yet another troublesome character.]

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger -unexplained ire, Quill offers Hobbes a single, reassuring pat.]
You can go where you like. As long as you come back once the time is up, that's all we need. [In a quiet tone, he adds] I wouldn't worry about getting Mabel back. I think she'll be just fine. Alright?

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger [For the first time in months, Quill laughs. Despite Mabel's aggressive kindness and optimism, she is evidently capable and /willing/ to cause damage. Much needed relief wipes away some of the weight on his shoulders.

While Aries stares in disbelief at the woman's outpouring of-

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger -right schedule." [grumbles Aries.

Again, Quill ignores him, waiting for Hobbes' input.]

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger -rubs his chin.]

Well, as long I understand you, that's all we really need. [He straightens up, stretching as he rises to his full height.] Give me five days to gather the elements I need. Does that work for you? I'm afraid my schedule's a little tight.

"We're /all/ on a -

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger -unable to hear you?

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger [Rev's inability to understand Hobbes was one thing, but Aries? It occurs to Quill in that moment that Aries has not addressed the tiger, nor has he so much as looked him in the eye. Curious.

Ignoring the other two as if they were not there, Quill asks]

What makes people -

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger -her to make it work.

"Quill!"

If you don't find me agreeable, you're more than welcome to leave.

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger [Aries' tail twitches angrily. As much as this idea appeals to Rev, it infuriates him.]

Raznia's not the only one who can use the Pulse to his advantage. If the intervals lasted longer, I could do it alone. Considering the time constraint, [he explains to Hobbes] we'll need -

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger -and chastises him.]

"What do you mean you're going to 'make' someone human?"

Is there something confusing about that phrase? It means what it means.

[Quill @CalmDeception]

@MerryMabel @TacklingTiger [Quill flashes a smile which Mabel and Rev have never seen before. It's unsettling how genuine it is.]

We're going to make him human.

[At this, Aries finally loses his strength to stay silent. Leaping over to them, he ignores the incongruous stuffed animal at Quill's side-
