[ Minho has been spending most of his time in the Drabwurld just sort of... observing and exploring. Because he's been working to make a better map for the arrivals to use, and has been trying to figure out what would be the best way to go about sharing it. Would something over this weird network work? Who knows.

But he's gotten a little distracted by the whole feathers thing, and has been having a time of figuring them out. He appears on the feed for both courts with one of the little feathers pinched between thumb and forefinger, turning it back and forth. ]

So, before I came here, there wasn't any such thing as magic. It was all science, no... powers, or whatever. [ Thomas and Teresa's telepathy aside, considering that was science, too. ] Gotta say, this's pretty interesting.

[ Except then there's a distressed bleating - behhh! - and Minho snorts abruptly, sticking the feather behind his ear and reaching down out of the amulet's view to pick up... well, what looks like a small deer. ] Except for the part where a certain someone hasn't figured out how to turn back into a person, but y'know. Jeez, greenie...

[ But he turns his attention back to the world at large, nestling the fawn in his muscled arms. ] Anyways. The feathers are literally, like, everywhere. But has anyone figured out what all they do, or found anything else while picking 'em up? Like new places or some klunk.

[Currently sporting heavy gloves, a sign of her own dealings with the feathers as she travels.]

Do you still have the feather?

[greenies]

[ this is not what thomas was planning on happening, okay! he was just. exploring. he was just really curious about the dumb feathers and what they did, and he'd picked it up a little too close to his dinner and, boom. thomas, plus feather, equals tiny, unhappy deer. it took him ten minutes to stand up on his tiny deer legs and he continued to flop over on the ground on his stomach, limbs splayed out, and thomas felt utterly too much like when he'd just come out of the box and way too much like a deer. so he'd given into letting minho carry him, and he flops his legs over his huge arms, making an unhappy, pathetic "behhhh" noise and butting his head into minho's bicep. life is hard. ]

[munies]

No way, did he seriously-?

[ this is the tone of someone that's both shocked and maybe a little amused, like thomas would purposely turn himself into an animal before he knew how the change back. ]

I leave you two alone for five minutes, and this is what you-

[ BOYS!!! and yeah it's been longer than five minutes, she's exploring, out on her own ( just around the castle, let's be real she's not about to go very far without Thomas ). but. ]

I'm coming back.

[arms]

[ Minho just. Cradles Thomas in one arm, gesturing down at him with his now freed hand. Yes, he did seriously do the thing, Teresa. ]

I had no part in this! I looked away for a second and all of a sudden he gets the bright shucking idea to do something without knowing how to fix it.

[ Or, y'know. How to change back. Yeah, this is their greenbean. ]

We ain't moving.

[arms]

[ Thomas really, you should know better by now than to touch things. But, no, that lesson was never one that was taught to their fearless co-leader, and Minho just looks down at him in fond exasperation as he makes a pathetic noise up at him again. ]

Yeah, yeah. Poor little shank, doesn't know what to do with himself.

[ He scratches blunt fingernails against his forehead, shaking his head slowly. ] Sorta fittin', though.

I think we do. Technically.

[ He shifts the deer around a bit, trying to locate it once again. He has his own, at least. ]

He... might've eaten the shuck thing.

[greenies]

[ shhhh like minho can even talk thomas huffs--that motion at least comes through as a deer--and tucks his head into his arm, like he's hiding his face. he feels like an idiot and mostly he just feels this really weird, insatiable urge to eat grass. at least the scratches are nice. but he makes an offended noise and jerks his head up to look at him, because it is not fitting! ]

video.

[allures]

[effy's never met minho, but after looking at the other conversations, she can guess that what he's got in his arms is actually thomas.

which is hilarious. but she's more interested in his way of speech.]

What the fuck is 'klunk'?

[greenies]

[ AGGRESSIVELY BEHHHS IN THE BACKGROUND ]

[munies]

So, the feather did that?

[ and now she's wondering about the feather that she found, one that she definitely held for a while, but- ]

I wonder why mine didn't. It's not like mine looked much different than Thomas'.

[ THINKYTHINK ]

--Although now I'm a little reluctant to touch it again.

[munies]

-- You'll be alright, Tom. Don't worry. We'll figure this out.

[ teresa isn't laughing no no way ]

[greenies]

[ he knows you're laughing at him, teresa!!! thomas makes another unhappy honk noise and sulks into minho's arm, ears flopping down, all big, unhappy doe eyes. as long as minho didn't tell her that he ate the feather it's fine. ]

[quest]

Wait, is that- That was a person?

[ Suddenly, Percy is really glad he the feather he found didn't do anything like that. The last thing he needs is to turn into an animal while out on a quest. ]

[munies]

Are you pouting? Don't pout. That has to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

[greenies]

[ the "behhhh!!" that comes out of his mouth is supposed to be "Percy!" or "stop looking!" or something of both--thomas the deer freaks out and tries to squirm out of minho's arms and hide his face in minho's runner's harness at the same time. thomas?!? what? who's thomas! he's just a deer! just a completely normal deer!]

[greenies]

I'm not pouting! [ he's not pouting! leaders don't pout, and thomas is. thomas is pouting. a lot. but it occurs to him a couple seconds later that he can actually communicate with teresa--he probably just did--and thomas huffs, his tiny little deer body puffing up and dropping back down in a sigh. ] I didn't do this on purpose.

[munies]

Holy crap.

[ not exactly startled by the voice in her head, but no, she wasn't expecting that. it... kind of makes sense. it's weird, but it makes sense. she almost tries to think back at him, but she knows she can't yet. it won't work. it's frustrating, but she knows better than to try ]

You are so pouting, you're- deer-pouting. Your ears are pouting. [ but that's not the point ] Tell me what happened? Maybe I can ask around, see if anybody here has any experience with this kind of thing.

[greenies]

Teresaa! [ it's pretty much edging on whiny and his face, if it could, gets even more pathetic. teresa, you're so mean. :( but he does at least stop hiding his face, and instead drops his little legs over minho's arm, putting his head down, too. ] I was eating dinner and I had one of those feathers set out on the table, because I was trying to look at it--I mean, it was really small. And I guess I was eating too fast, and... [ now he hangs his head in shame he is not saying out loud (mentally) that he accidentally ate the feather. ]

[munies]

You ate it?

[ 80% alarmed, 20% ..okay no, she's mostly alarmed. ]

That- might explain why you haven't changed back yet.

[greenies]

Not on purpose! [ that comes out in his head in words, but he makes a loud, unhappy noise out loud. being a deer continues to suck, and tommy sort of flops over pathetically, limbs flailing a little. ] It just happened! Teresa, you can't tell anyone...

[munies]

Who am I going to tell?

[ her top 8 here consists of six pictures of one Tom Edison, followed by a picture of Effy, then a picture of Minho. and that's her trying really hard to fill up those eight spots, ok ]

Your secret's safe with me. Promise.

-- Except I don't know how I'm going to help you find answers to turn back if I can't explain what happened...

[greenies]

[ thomas knows that. okay, his manly pride here is really not important. he doesn't even really have that much pride! he just ate it because he's an ugly eater. just like chuck made fun of him for. thomas behhhhhhhhs again, and this time it's extra pathetic, dropping straight downwards and looking absolutely miserable. ] What if I'm stuck like this forever?

[munies]

I thought I told you not to deer-pout.

[ no really please stop, she's starting to feel irrationally bad for him. it's his own dumb fault!! the way he eats, she's not even shocked that he managed to wolf down a feather! but still. ]

You won't be stuck like that forever. I promised, didn't I? I'll just- ask someone with magic if they know a way to reverse the effect of the feathers. Easy.

[greenies]

[ SUDDENLY LOOKING VERY PANICKED. ] Don't ask Stiles! [ thomas has no idea if they're actually friends or not but the thought is terrifying. ]

[arms]

Yeah, he was fine when he wasn't messing around with the stupid thing.

[ He shakes his head a little, ignoring the feather that's behind his ear. After messing with it, Minho knows what it does. He's just taking care not to trigger it or anything. ]

Dunno. Might need some intent, or something. But then again, Tommy ate it.
