AGAIN // HUMAN AU

[arcy]

♡ It was a strange thing, for Caboose to have adjusted so quickly to his new form. Unlike his teammates, see, the canine hadn't really minded the transformation. And Caboose was adaptable if nothing else, see, and had taken to the whole thing like a duck to water. So he was a dog, what did it matter? He could do most of the same things as he always did, and the only thing Caboose truly missed was having hands. They were useful. It was really hard to draw when he couldn't hold crayons. So, see, with all of the nice star people and Church being there, Caboose had no real inclination to try and figure out a solution. Hadn't really had any expectations to, either, since he was just going with the flow.
Which is why Caboose finds it just a little strange when he wakes up, and stuff is .. wrong. He doesn't get whats wrong though, cause he's just walking and it feels different. But .. it only occurs to him, later, when he finds himself with the other members of the Ascendants. With his helmet still on his head, tan and wearing a pretty simple, maybe kind of childish graphic tee and jeans, Caboose looks absolutely puzzled as to who all of these people were. Where'd they come from? Why were they here? And then they were talking about being human. The realization comes very, very slowly, and through a cycle of very wrong ideas. He'd think one thing but then something would be contradicted. Pretending? A game? At no point does he get it right, despite the fact people were saying it aloud. But .. then Caboose looks at his hands. And he blinks. His scarred hands. He rarely saw them even when he was human 'cause he always had his armor on but what were those little strange appendages? Fingers? Fingers .. Hands. Oh!! Oh!!! He doesn't quite get that he's fully human again, honestly. Instead, Caboose just throws up his hands and shrieks. "I have hands again!!" How exciting!!!! Caboose is grinning pretty widely as he waves his hands around carelessly. He doesn't appear to care for much more than his hands, honestly. "I am so excited!! I can color and pick things up and and and!!" .. Caboose doesn't bother re-introducing himself to the lot of everyone in the common room, just 'cause if doesn't occur to him and he's probably not fully there, anyways. Caboose is, at least, very recognizable with his helmet and voice and complete and utter lack of volume control. In any case .. It would appear realizing his situation to any extent kind of confused him from running on auto-pilot. Cause, in the next moment, Caboose takes a few steps forward and proceeds to slip on basically nothing at all. And then he's hurtling towards the ground and he's on the ground and it takes a very long few moments for Caboose to realize he's there and in pain. "Ow," He says. Then proceeds to just lay there and make no attempt to get up. It wouldn't appear Caboose was .. the best person to ask about being human, then. He probably barely knew how to be one even when he was one supposedly forever.
