genessia | 002 | action/video; event time!

action;

[ludger had been walking through the streets of genessia after he had gone out shopping for groceries. he was certain he had acquired everything he would need for that evening meal, and just to be sure he looked down in order to check the bag. as he was rummaging through the brown paper bag he suddenly felt something rise up within him.

it hurt, it burned, and he had no choice but to drop the bag to the ground. the contents rolled out of the bag, making a mess in the streets- but he hardly cared. ludger grabbed his chest, he doubled over, and he felt everything begin to change. he grunted, he groaned, and his cries became louder as the pain moved all through him.

just what was happening....?

before he knew it he felt his hands change. he looked down at himself, seeing his hands turn into large claws, his fingers turning a much more grey color than his regular skin. he felt something begin to come out of his back, now ripping apart the shirt he had been wearing, leaving him shirtless. ludger glanced behind him to see large grey wings coming out of his back and he could hardly believe his eyes.

what.... was this...? he had heard of other people throughout the day turning into things, but he didn't think this would happen to him.

he stood up, trying to get himself under control, but he was having trouble controlling his wings. they were huge, he didn't know how to move them, so he suddenly spread them and accidentally hit someone with them. he turned to the person, now looking obviously frantic.]

A-ah...! Sorry, I'm really sorry! I don't... know how to do this at all! [how was he supposed to change back?! and just why was he a gargoyle?!]

video;

[now ludger just has one simple question-]

I need shirts that can... um... handle wings. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ah, worry not, my good sir. I happen to know a way to perhaps enlist one.

Also, dear me. I've forgotten my manners; Arro Caine, at your service~ Who might you be?

Oh really, how?

[a beat, and then ludger nods his head.] Arro Caine? Nice to meet you. I'm Ludger.

A video advertisement, of course~ I am sure that in your current dress you'd catch almost anyone's eye, so perhaps you could be our lead in and I could then explain what we needed... Hmm.

[Yes, he does sound like he's seriously considering this and in great detail. Though he clears his throat and smiles.]

Ludger~ A fine name. Assumptions this isn't normal aside...are you prone to any other peculiarities that might need to be noted?

Like.... like a commercial? [is he gonna become a tv actor now?!]

Peculiarities? [besides his bad luck and constant state of being in debt?] Not sure what you're getting at here, but... no, I don't think so.

Other typically 'non-human' appendages, but if you are fine otherwise, I may have to say you might be fine, the wings are a nice touch~

Ah, well, just things like claws. That's fine, though, not like I wear gloves or anything.

[he sighs.] A nice touch? [...really?]
