Dude!

Greatest Virus EVER!

Who all's been turned into what? This is so awesome! A horse just walked past my room and it wasn't me!

Due to my powers I have extensive experience in most of the forms I've been seeing around so please feel free to ask for advice!

...How about spitting cobra?

Having trouble with it? I've been snakes before!

Despite their name, these snakes do not actually spit their venom. They spray the venom, using muscular contractions upon the venom glands. These muscles squeeze the glands and force the venom out through forward facing holes at the tips of the fangs. As the venom leaves the fang tip, a large gust of air is expelled from the lung which aerosolizes the venom and propels it forward. When cornered, some species can "spit" their venom a distance as great as two meters. While spitting is typically their primary form of defense, all spitting cobras are capable of delivering venom through a bite as well. Most species' venom exhibit significant hemotoxic effects, along with more typical neurotoxic effects of other cobra species.

Beastboy where did that come from?!?

Seeing as you have prior experience...

My diet excludes certain kinds of meat. However, once I change into a komodo dragon, I have this overwhelming urge for raw red meat. To digest it as a human would make me very ill. Would eating this meat as a komodo dragon affect me as badly as it would as a human?

Additionally, as a cold-blooded lizard, would I die of exposure in Meria?

Hmm...well as a rule I try not to eat anything in animal form I can't handle as a human. I'm a vegan so if I eat anything in animal form it's usually leaves and grass ect. Once I tried to eat some eucalyptus leaves as a Koala bear to see how they tasted? Not half bad but I changed back into human form and the leaves were still in my guts so I got really sick.

Yeah I'd say to avoid cold areas while your a Lizard dude. Also if you get motion sickness or anything like that try to change back near something you can throw up in. Switching from cold blooded to warm blooded takes alot of practice to get used to. It still makes my skin crawl sometimes.

Ah, thank you!

The side-effects are taking a while to get used to, but I can see why lizards seem to enjoy sunning on rocks so much.

Now he's become lazy as well as emotional...

Ignore the kapurimon.

Oh yeah dude hot rocks are great! Back home I even bought a tanning lamp for my room just so I could go gecko and sun.

This isn't funny.

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's not funny dude, IT'S AWESOME!

Come on what'd you turn into? Anything? You guys are lucky that you get to try out shape shifting with cool forms...imagine if you were like being turned into bugs or something.

I don't like people tampering with my body without my permission. Besides, it's hard to use magic in a different form.

Zelgadis, that's pretty much a yes.

((Italics are Gotsumon.))

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Geeze man relax, have some fun with it. It's not like it's permanent.

My friend Raven was turned into a bunny once, she had trouble doing magic in that form too so it's probably the same thing.

Go on tell me what you turned into, we can lock it if you don't want the others to know.

[identity profile] onethirdhuman.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I can probably focus more on the incantations, because there's no way I'll learn all new gestures before something else happens.

[locked]
Fine. If only because it'll forestall Gotsumon from telling someone. I've been turning into a housecat. Or at least the human part of me has, since somehow I doubt most housecats are naturally blue and covered in wire hair and stones. It would figure that I wouldn't even end up as a normal housecat.

I have to admit that's a new one on me...well I guess it could still be worse.

The change WILL reverse itself as long as you don't touch any Digimon or animals for awhile.

Try enjoying the body though, experience how much more sensitive you senses are, how powerful you feel for something so small. Cats are instinctively confident.

He could use the confidence boost. He's being grouchy.

I'm not being grouchy. And I'll be fine as long as Gotsumon remembers not to try touching me again.

Re: [locked]

I still say try to have a little fun with it. If you change again try pushing your little kitty body hard on the subjects of running, dodging, balance. Nothing gives you a rush quiet so much as racing along the top of a fence at full speed and being absolutely confident that you're not gonna fall.

Being a cat is what I imagine being Robin is alot like...oh I forgot you probably dunno who Robin is...forget I said anything about it.

Anyway serious man, try and have fun, you could have ended up a seahorse or something less cool.

Huh.

LOCKED

[identity profile] legendarytamer.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
So I'm writing this novel, and I thought it might be fun to write about a guy who involuntarily changes into a seahorse. I'm having problems fixing a couple of his problems though: He can't breathe the air, so his friends throw him into water, but then he has wet clothes when he changes back so he gets cold, he gets sick. How should I help the poor guy out?

A novel huh? Sounds cool! I'd read it!

Beastboy I don't think he's...you know what never mind.

Let's see seahorse...seahorse...well first off his friends should try to keep the water warm. If you tossed the poor guy in a fishbowl changing back would be messy though...personal experience.

Seahorses typically live in tropical to temperate waters, so if he changed back in warm waters it may not be so bad.

Also he could just hang around in his bathing suit and make sure there's a nice fluffy bathrobe nearby till the weeks over.

Till what weeks over, he's writing a novel remember? Wait did you actually figure it out?

Figure what out? I figured the story is based on this virus.
