038 (Voice/Video) And, all the while, coyote keeps on singing....

[There's some scratching sounds on the microphone and what to human ears will sound like a frustrated dog's growling is actually Gabriel swearing and trying to urge HIS NEWFOUND PAWS to operate the controls on his journal. After a moment of cojoling, the video clicks on and there's an EXTREME CLOSE-UP OF A PAIR OF AMBER EYES AND A SNOUT... And then Gabriel hops back, revealing... A coyote. Sitting in a chair, tilting his head at the camera.]

...Honestly? I was kinda expecting a lot worse.

[Now watch as he realizes that only the fraction of the Barge that is currently animal in nature actually understands what he just said. HE CAN ONLY BE ANNOYING TO A SMALL PORTION OF THE POPULACE.]

[Some doggy snuffling as he messes with his communicator. Then, SAM'S WEARY VOICE comes out of this little guy.]

It's official. We might as well be living in Looney Tunes.

[Thankfully, Gabriel no longer has the facial muscles to make the face he really wants to make at you right now, Sam. WHO IS A TINY DOGGY? YOU ARE. Yes. He definitely got the good straw out of this port.]

Where's your sense of adventure, Snoopy?

[YEAH, SEE. IT'S ONLY FUNNY WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. He's good this time.]

[Sam lets out a little sigh.]

Left it back in port, I reckon. Y'know, when my head got bashed in.

[PAUSE. He sniffs the air.]

Although. This is sorta... [HMM.] D'you smell that?

[Growling, scritching, and then a Murphyvoice.] At least we can talk.

There's a small favour.

[NO FAIR, MURPHY. THEY SHOWED YOU THEIR FURRY SELVES.]

Lemme guess. You're something really tiny and adorable right now, aren'tcha?

[Cissie's just kind of... staring. That's a coyote.]

...So this flood is turning the Barge into a zoo, then.

[Gabriel scratches his ear with his hindleg, which is surprisingly awkward to do in a chair. It doesn't actually have an itch... Just when you have hindlegs that can reach your ears, you sorta just wanna try it. Look, in all his shapeshifting years, turning into an animal.. Never occurred to him. He figured the original Loki did that enough for him to... Justify never doing it again.]

Oh right. I forgot, considering I spent the whole time... Y'know what? Never mind. [YEAH. ANYWAY.]

Yeah, it's called the Barge. I can smell that much even when I have opposable thumbs.

For some reason I'm not surprised we're all canine.

[It's a Cissie! Gabriel puts his paws up on the table and looks... You know. Adorable. Yeah. The predatory animal is adorable. Like the tiny archangel is adorable. Pfft.]

Looks like. See you missed this one. Too bad. It's actually kinda freeing.

[All of that just... Sounded like a series of yaps, really. Gabriel does not know this.]

Bite m-- You know what, I could still take your face off, Gabriel.

Yeah, but it's-- It almost knocks me off my feet, it's so overpowering.

[See Gabriel smugly curling up in his chair. If coyotes had eyebrows, his would be up right now. YOU KNOW THIS TONE, MURPHY. It is his "I am endearing and charming and you secretly adore me" tone.]

Can you reach it?

[At least squirrels have finger-like paws, so there's not so much trouble with Bruce's comm. Though now the keys are bigger and there's that annoyance when dealing with a keyboard that's not familiar, but there are bigger issues now, Bruce, so focus.]

Uh. How exactly could this be worse? ...Besides, er. Zombies. Randomly showing up. While we're like this. ...Or, um. Oh, lord.

[Yeah, his brain is running through all the possible permutations of how this could be worse. Each scenario is more outlandish and horribly ending than the last. SOMEONE BREAK HIM OUT OF HIS LOOP, PLEASE.]

*dot*
*dot*
*dot*
*stares*

Makes me wonder what Cissie's turned--

[PAUSE. He sees her reaction in this very post.]

Well, that's not fair.

[And Cissie... continues to look flabbergasted. Because she thinks maybe the wild animal is trying to communicate, and that's just nutty.]

...Well, this is special.

Don't strain yourself, big guy.

[Which is really hilarious because... He's actually taller than Sam right now.]

Can't take in the whole flood experience in one night, after all.

Don't tempt me.

[And Gabriel thinks that was actually directed at his comment and is just gonna keep talking.]

....What? Okay. So I have a bad kneejerk reaction to floods. So sue me. I like being the guy, running these party wagons. This one just happens to be kinda hilarious... And not the kind at my expense, either.

...Here's another question; how are we going to get out of our rooms?

[BRB. SNICKERING.]

You're a Pomeranian right now, aren'tcha?

Edited 2010-06-27 05:14 (UTC)

You're an ass, so that's no change.

Y'know, a year and a half on the Barge, and this is the first time I've turned into a dog-- no, this is the first time I've turned into a different species. I think, all things considered, I'm doing a bang up job not straining myself.

...You know, I feel like you're trying to tell me something. If you were a collie, I'd be asking who's stuck in the well.
