[You are greeted by the face of a black panther, but with Carmen's hair and a distinctive red cloak. Carmen sits in the light of a window with several books around her -- someone's at the library.]
I'm a Tabaxi now. But I'd say this definitely makes for an interesting first world hop.
[Somehow she manages to smile sheepishly even with a feline face.]
Sorry. I guess I could have sent a text first to give you a heads up. I'm just glad I'm not allergic to myself.
[It had definitely taken some adjusting, but Carmen was enjoying herself too much to let it be a major concern. Now it's Carmen's turn to be surprised, it'd be weirder if she hadn't already met someone with that ability. She hadn't expected it from Ruby though.]
No offense, but it was pretty weird to watch too. It didn't hurt did it?
Nonono! Don't worry about it. I think even with a warning it would have thrown me threw a loop.
Are you allergic to cats normally? Because I can't think of anything worse than being allergic to yourself there.
[There's a brief shake of her head.]
No, it doesn't hurt. Like the face I woke up to is something that's probably going to haunt my dreams for awhile, but it was pretty easy to change it back to normal.
Okay, I gotchya. You made the right choice though. You are going to have to meet my puppy, Zwei, when we get back to the temple.
[Ruby draws a blank with that one.]
I... I haven't actually tried. I can't do actual animals, this is about as close as I can get. Let's see.
[And then Ruby starts shifting into numerous other forms. Some are weird variations on her normal look, but as a dwarf, elf, halfling, orc, while others are like other members of the circle.]
Uh... I don't think there's a limit. I think it's based on how much I can stand the creepy feeling.

How are things on your end?

on 2019-04-22 02:27 am (UTC)H-hey! I thought I got the wrong number for a second. But that's crazy. You look so fluffy!
[Ruby shows off a wooden staff with a decorative red rose shaped gem off the top.]
It's pretty of cool so far. I've got like neat magical powers and stuff.
Oh! I haven't shown anyone yet but I can do this too.
[She pauses and closes her eyes. Then her appearance starts to shift. Barely a few seconds pass and suddenly she's a Tabaxi just like Carmen.]
Ugh-woah-uh. Wow I've only done it like twice in my room but man does that feel weird.

on 2019-04-23 11:46 pm (UTC)No, I was just making a joke. Strangely enough I'm more of a dog person though.
[Not that she doesn't like cats, but she supposes that's not the point.]
Is there a limit to how many appearances? I met someone earlier who could change into animals, but I think it was a set number.

on 2019-04-28 07:07 pm (UTC)Carmen watches with some fascination as Ruby goes through a quick succession of forms. It's dizzying to watch.]
Woah, okay. While I appreciate the demonstration, you know you could have just said there wasn't a limit.

on 2019-04-30 12:49 pm (UTC)Sorry! I'm still kind of getting used to it myself. I wasn't really sure I had a limit or not. It was an experiment.
I apparently do not have a limit.
