where the alligators had been. He came upon a blue and black, vaguely cattish thing yowling out in the hall.
"Hey there, little thing," he said quietly. "What's the matter? Are you okay?"
On the inside, however, he was thinking, Holy crap, what the hell is this thing? It's like a bobcat and a child's drawing of a star got together and had a baby! He still hadn't picked up on the odd reverberations of his mental voice . . . -

"Do I look okay?" Kat demanded, indignant. Her voice was not her voice; it was something male, and with overtones that she wasn't thinking about too hard but probably had something to do with suddenly being a Pokémon. It was odd-- in the DORKS-induced Luxray costume, she had felt herself still. Now, it was both familiar and alien at the same time, and she didn't like it.
"And I'm a Luxray, for your information," she added in a moment, sniffing affrontedly. Her whiskers twitched forward with each inhalation. -
Doc blinked and tilted his head a bit. by

"Oh. You can—Oh!" He saw the potted cactus on the Luxray's collar. "You're an agent. Sorry, I didn't. Um." He sat down next to the Luxray. "So, what's the matter? I just got teleported into a room with alligators in it, so." He shrugged. "If that makes you feel better." He frowned. "If you even have alligators wherever you're from."

Kat's tail flicked back and forth. She didn't make an effort to get up, though. "I suppose it does make me feel better, in a schadenfreudenly sort of way. Someone's having a worse day." She huffed. "I'm, uh, not usually a Luxray! This is new and weird."

Doc lowered his eyebrows in puzzlement; he was too distracted by the conversation to notice their odd weight.
"Wait, what do you mean . . ." He gasped! "Are you an Animorph? Oh my gosh, I love Animorphs! I can't believe I'm meeting one! I mean, I got to see an Andalite once, but we didn't get to talk much . . ." He ended his tirade with a very subdued and dignified squee. -

"...Nooooo," she said finally. She considered her posture, finally flopped all the way to a lying-down position, and rested her chin on her paws, the picture of canine misery. "I never read Animorphs. Well, except maybe once. School book fairs, y'know..."
She trailed off, eyed him up again. He was a bit weird, she decided. But she probably had no room to talk. "No, I'm a human girl," she said, very definitively. -

Kat's lips lifted to reveal very nice teeth, if only briefly. "If I knew that, don't you think I woulda fixed the problem already? I just... wound up here." She huffed again, switching back to vaguely mournful as quickly as that, and gave him an askance look with those big yellow eyes.

She eyed him carefully some more, looking more and more uncertain. "You're not normally a telepath, are you," she said eventually, confused. "I mean, I'm gonna give you that much credit, though I do appreciate your appreciation for my teeth. They are very nice teeth. I'm a meat eater." She grinned, or an approximation of it, before recalling it was a hostile gesture and not-smiling. "I mean, I'm not normally a Luxray or a dude! And I wasn't in this hallway, either!"

"At least, I think that's how it works." Kat shifted, lifting her head from her paws in curiosity at her new friend's reaction-- and then ducking again just as quickly, at the onslaught of thoughts. Her ears went flat against her skull again, and she squeezed her eyes shut. "Oh my sweet Arceus can you please stop panicking please please please you are broadcasting like a gorram radio tower." She was almost starting to panic herself, come to think of it.

Doc leaned stiffly against the wall, careful to keep his hands very far away from himself. He shut his eyes and tried carefully not to think any conscious thoughts, though he couldn't prevent a few stray whats and whys and hows from escaping.

He certainly didn't see how explosions would improve the situation, but the other agent seemed sure of herself; she probably had more experience than Doc.

English. Of course. And with a slightly mangled name and one of the words that sounded nonsensical in Sindarin translation, at that. Moreover, this was not Gurnirel--and she seemed to think she knew him, which did not bode well. The translator, however, sounded like a very good idea.
"Pray set it for Sindarin," he said reluctantly. As before, his voice emerged rougher and at a slightly different pitch than it should have. The English, as ever, felt truncated and lacking in song. "I will speak that tongue." -

somewhere in between wanting to laugh and wanting to cart Doc straight off to Medical. "Hoookaaay . . ." It wasn't just the language; Doc was usually more of a sloucher, and didn't like looking you in the eye when he talked to you. Now, he was all square-shouldered and held your gaze.
She scrolled the UT's menu to the Tolkien section and locked in Sindarin. "All right then. Something's obviously up. Let's hear it."

Kayleigh's head snapped round as Salamander stumbled, banging his leg against the console. "Head snap round!" she called. "Sal? Did the console do something wrong?" She gasped. "Gasp! Has it been possessed by a chaotic neutral artificial intelligence with secret plans of its own which can only be defeated by kicking?!"

He attempted to turn around, in surprise at hearing the voice of an agent in the room. The result was he banged the other knee- and wasn't that a great sensation- and chose, it was very much a choice, instead to lean this new body back against the console. The arms and hands he used to keep himself balanced against it, with a bit of difficulty. It was much easier to try and tilt the head in the direction of the speaker.
"Wh-at? Nno. Who are you?" Talking was tricky, but he had already successfully vocalized before. -

He did his best to draw himself up while using the console for support. "Aagent Kayleighh, I ammm not your part-ner." The rest of her narration, while annoying, was useful and at least confirmed that he was in the body of an agent who already couldn't see. Unless she did it for no reason, which was a distinct possibility, depending on the department. Some of them- like his own- did have a larger proportion of more questionable than average agents. It came with their being assassins.

The agent's comment about DAVD had solidified her identity; the Big Thorn had complained about her and her thorough belief that DAVD was at fault for everything before.

If nothing else, dealing with her was improving his ability to speak through a mouth.

Day visibly bristled, despite the pain she was in from her- Sax's- broken arm. "When they're being jerks, yeah."
Sax stumbled in front of Day, holding a warning hand up towards his partner. It would have been a lot more effective if they had been in their normal bodies and he didn't feel like puking.
"I don't know if you'd noticed or anything, but we aren't really in the best shape right now," Sax said, hoping he wasn't actually slurring or anything. It was as much directed at Day as whoever this was. -

I suppose we should organize a centralized thing where people can find their bodies and keep track of everything. It's gonna be easier to coordinate something that way, don't you think?"

Depending on how bad the damage was, it would probably end up being something BM would have to take care of later, but right now it didn't matter.

Something had to be wrong. The unicorn would have yelled so had she spilled his ink, or touched his feathers. Especially when they fused to him. Why was he so attached, but wanted to be separate? And they call her confusing.
She popped on pony's nose, confused. She glared deep in the pony's eyes. There was somebody there. Not Printworthy, no, somebody else was the unicorn now. Oh, how fun. Good for Printworthy to get out, see other people. She waved to the new unicorn.

Oh, the new pony was going to be fun. However, she had to correct pony knowledge. Silly ponies, they think so much, but as usual, know so little. She zipped over to the shelf of disks. Snapping her talons, one of he disk-boxes flew up to her. Removing the disk, she spun it on her talon, and let the words flow out of her mouth.
"I'm Discord. Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony? Heloooo!"
She left the disk spinning, but turned to the new pony, and grinned. -

The response was almost automatic. He frowned at the other man - another ghoul, confirming his initial guess at the cause. "Who are you? You're not my partner." Aaron had seen female ghouls before, and they usually maintained some fleshy tissue in the relevant areas. Besides, this one was far too pale to be Natasha.

Aaron was not used to calming down homicidal maniacs; in fact, he had rather more experience being the homicidal maniac. "Let's calm down and try to think about this logically?" he said. "Killing people probably isn't going to fix anything." He crossed his fingers that the agents whose bodies they were in weren't the type to carry a ripper or shishkebab.
