IC:
Oden had applied for the school a long time ago it seemed. First he'd sit eagerly by the mail box, waiting for it. But it had been so long he'd almost forgotten all about it.
At the time the mail arrived on that fateful day Oden had been sitting in the living room with Itsu, playing a very clumbsy game of chess. Though he was getting better at moving the pieces with his paws, they were still something on a nussaince on the board. Itsu laughed as he knocked over his own king while trying to move his rook, "Does that mean I win?"
Isaku went to get the mail, going through it as he walked back to the house., "Junk, junk... Chicken Bucket flyer, Jury du- WHA!" he tripped over Dreeku's thick, mechanical tail.
"Would you watch where you leave that?" he growled to the khimera, who growled right back.
"Oh...Hey Oden," he called, slamming the door shut with his foot, "Package for you," he said, tossing it carelessly. It was lumpy and awkward as far as packages went. Oden stretched up on his hind legs, catching the package against his chest. The strangely coloured leebra landed loudly back to the round, paw on the package.
"Who's it from?" itsu asked, leaning over the chess board to see. Oden checked quickly and made a strange noise deep in his chest.
"Some fancy pants school he applied for," Isaku grumbled into his coffee, smiling. He was quite proud as he watched Oden tear open the package. There was a lot of papers but what caught his interrest was a strange bracelet.
It was a little clunky but not quite ugly. On top of the packet of paper was a note.
Congradulations new student,
It is with my utmost pleasure to inform you that you've been excepted to SilverMaple Secondary School. You've proven to the selection committee that you are exceptionally bright. As you are not in a form which you may easily show and tell others your ideas and show the world your intelligence we've given you a device that may help you. This will allow you to take a more human form. I would suggest you go to a room with some privacy and ask for some clothing before trying it out.
Good Luck!
Principal Wolfgang
Oden took the note in his teeth and gave it to Isaku, who agreed to give Oden some clothing. Oden was left alone in the bathroom, clothes neatly folded on the toilet seat next to himself. He carefully slipped the bracelet around his furry wrist and almost instantly a tingling sensation raced over his body. he'd shut his eyes tight, alarmed. When it was all over he opened his eyes only to see a furless pink forearm. he gasped and stood up, as he was crouched low on the floor. He looked at himself in the bathrooms full length mirror.
He was taller, maybe 5' 9", thin and fit. A body built for speed and not so much strength. Though he had muscles, no doubt about that. He had a mane of red hair, as he did in his other form, some of it falling into his eyes. The red streaks under his eyes were there from his quad form, making him look a little strange. To his further delight he had his tail still. But everything was a little blurry.
He'd ask about it later, first he must get dressed. My how different it was to use fingers! He got use to them amazingly fast and stepped out of the bathroom. he was wearing a black turtle neck and scuffed blue jeans.
"Itsu look!" he said and paused. He could speak so much better! His voice wasn't deep, but it wasn't high either. Someplace in the middle but distinctly masculine.
Itsu squealed in delight, "WHOA! Oden you're very handsome!" she said and giggled.
"Am I? I cannot see so well... Do you know what's wrong?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. Everything remained blurry, mostly things that were far away.
Isaku laughed, "Maybe you need glasses. We'll have to get you a pair before school starts,"
"When is that, anyway?"
"Two weeks. We'd better get shopping,"
