[003 | VIDEO] morning of the 18th

[spah]

[It's early, and Engineer has his communication bracelet's video screen leaned up against his bathroom mirror.

Engie himself looks... different. Aside from being in an undershirt with an expression that says "just woke up," he's also sporting stark white whiskers, not unlike barbels, sticking out from under his beard. Two strands flow out neatly on either side of his cheeks, almost matching the direction of his growth.

Along with that, there's new scales on his bare shoulders in patches of black, white, orange, and a little bit of blue. He holds up a beard trimmer, and you can barely see flowing, sheer-like white fins under his arms.

Basically, he's a koi now.]

Anybody got tips on how to shave 'round fish whiskers?

[If you haven't heard Engineer speak before, that's a pretty thick Texan accent.

He chuckles sleepily and rubs one eye with his other hand. He's really tired. Don't ask why.]

Hell, how do y'all do regular, everyday things 'round the animal bits? Honest-to-god question. Might as well make this Lunatia's talkin' point for the morning.

Never seen this before. People were turning into dragons, but, uh.

You're kind of cute like that, actually.

[spah]

Interesting. I remember something about koi when I was reading up on Sanguis and the other moons, but you don't see a lot of that something.

I'd say that's downright... "fishy."

And thanks?

[codecmoment]

You need to scale back on the fish puns before they get outta fin.

[spah]

Alright, you took all the good ones.

[he's guffawing behind the text though trust me]

[codecmoment]

What? Those sucked. Are you sure you're finished? You don't have to coddle me.

[spah]

Okay, that one don't even work.

Don't be koi with me.

[codecmoment]

No, that's you.

[spah]

We hadn't used that one yet.
