kangaroo court | o, power malfunction

[FINNEGAN F.M.R.]

I'VE BEEN WRITING ON YOUR GHOST PAGE, BABE — It had been quite a while since his powers had malfunctioned, of course, how could they malfunction if he never used them? It was true that Vinny was somewhat afraid of using them, simply because he worried about getting stuck in whatever body he shapeshifted into. It happened before, and it could certainly happen again.

Mementomori referred to it as “The Duck Incident”. He had just been fooling around with Mike when he accidentally changed into a duck. In the end, he was forced to leave the city because it was too dangerous for him there once his best friend had disappeared. Weeks passed before he was finally able to return to his normal form, and even after that, Vinny still had trouble staying in his husky body. There would be times when he accidentally switched back and forth between the two forms, especially when he was flying, almost causing him to crash land. So, in a way, he considered his fears of shapeshifting to be valid.

When he woke up this morning, Vinny hadn’t been expecting anything particularly bad to happen. Really, everything about today seemed fairly normal. He had eaten breakfast, visited the raptors, taken a walk through the flower field for some exercise, then he had gone back to his room for a nap. This is where his normal day had taken a strange turn. When the male awoke from his power nap, he felt... different. Before, his bed had seemed large to him, as it was made for a human and not a dog, but now, it was perfect... too perfect. There was no way he had grown over night, had he? Blinking open his green eyes, he ross his head, turning to gaze at himself just to make sure he wasn’t going crazy. What he saw was completely unexpected.

Somehow, in his sleep, Vinny had become a large, 6 foot tall kangaroo. It seemed something rather... important was missing though. Instead of retaining the... well, perhaps he shouldn’t say that. Let’s just say this kangaroo was not a male as he had first expected. Instead, it had a pouch on it’s belly, like a female would have- and this is where he became upset. “I’M A GIRL!?” He cried in alarm, a loud thump following as he fell out of his bed. How... how did this happen? — I'VE BEEN WAITING BY YOUR GRAVE
