Wrong Turn 008 [Video]

[eternallostboy]

[Ryoga was simply minding his own business out in the wild Luceti. Seldom did he ever come by town, and often wandered the wilderness for weeks.

It was one of those times he happened to leave his journal lying around. Being the unfortunate soul he was, the video feed had activated on its own just in time to catch him trip and fall into the lake.]

ACK!

[He was once a boy, who immediately turned into a pig. Disgruntled snorting could be heard as he made his way out of the lake. Just his luck.]

Only a few people that I know, and its because we fell into a cursed spring. But they don't turn into a pig like I do.

[subethical]

Really? A cursed spring? [That seemed unlikely, but so did pig transformations before he was thrown into this place.] How did these cursed springs come into existence? Why do you turn into a pig and not another animal?

I thought this sent Dx

[eternallostboy]

I don't really get it myself, but the cursed springs happened when something drowned in them. If you fall into any one of the springs you take the form of whatever drowned there when doused with cold water. You revert back with warm.

I guess it wasn't. xD

[subethical]

I see, and the transformation, is it uncomfortable? Or is it something that happens suddenly?

Guess not. xD

[eternallostboy]

It's just sudden.

[subethical]

I see. So you completely change your mass in a matter of seconds, at no discomfort or ill effects? Fascinating...

Do you believe you are susceptible to the same diseases as the animal in your other form as well?

[eternallostboy]

Diseases? [The fuck man?] I guess so.

I mean, my illnesses carry over?

[subethical]

I would have no way of knowing without conducting some tests, but I don't see why they shouldn't... Have you ever had injuries carried over between forms?

[eternallostboy]

C-conduct- [Don't you dare. :| ]

Of course.

[Why wouldn't they?

Although him even getting injured was another story altogether.]

[subethical]

[Oh don't be so afraid! He hasn't yet said what kind of tests.]

Well then, if injuries carry over between forms, then that would mean that viruses would as well. It's the same principle. I'm curious as to how your immune system handles a change like that.

[eternallostboy]

I don't get sick often if that's what you mean?

[And he has miraculously quick recovery, but again. No.]

What's it to you?

[subethical]

Oh, nothing at all. I'm just a man who likes to know how things tick. [Jade gives an innocent shrug. No evil plans here.]

Do my questions bother you?

[eternallostboy]

[This guy is officially a freak!]

No one asks those questions!

[subethical]

It doesn't concern you? What if you somehow came down with a disease that your human side couldn't defend against? They wouldn't know how to treat you.

Luckily, that isn't the case, but it's something to consider.

[eternallostboy]

Why would I come down with something like that?

[Come now. He's a comedic character.]

[subethical]

[Comedic purposes, perhaps? Plus you're Aster's favorite. That does not bode well for you.]

Few people come down with those things intentionally

[eternallostboy]

[Sad but true.]

I've never come down with anything before! [Except for the curse.]

[subethical]

I admire your luck. Most people come down with one childhood illness or two at the least.

[eternallostboy]

It's not luck, it's endurance.

[subethical]

Endurance...?

[eternallostboy]

My body is more adapted to the wilderness than others.

[subethical]

Adapted to the wilderness? How so?

[eternallostboy]

[Because he's always in it.] Because I train.

[subethical]

You train? How so and for what purpose?

[eternallostboy]

To defeat Ranma!
