Who: Connor + Open!
When: During the full moons
Where: Around the city
What: Connor gets his Merrow tail... at the most inconvenient of times
Warnings: None so far!
[Connor is just walking back to his cottage when his legs stop working and he falls in the street. At first he's just confused- he doesn't just fall-, but then he realises he can't get back up. A little panicked, because this isn't normal, the LED on Connor's head flashes red as his legs begin to fuse together and form a bright orange and blue tail.
Why here? He isn't wet. He drags himself forward a few feet; he lives quite a bit further away, but what else can he do? Luckily someone seems to be coming his way. He sits up, hoping it's not someone who dislikes monsters.]
Can you help me?
[He gestures helplessly to his tail.]

Now that? See, that's a bad idea. That's giving you way too much power.
[Damn androids and wanting to make his life better.]
Right, but imagine it for a minute...someone uses magic to make healthy food taste like hamburgers. How fucking rich do you think that person would be? See that? That's real magic.
[ Probably Kamski rich. That being said, please appreciate the fact he's only all far gone.]
no subject
[Maybe they have. Connor will have to look into it.]
I realise salads might not taste as good, but your body will thank you for it.
[Says the guy who will be eternally skinny, and doesn't have to eat vegetables to stay that way.]
no subject
[He shrugs, but grins at him like 'challenge accepted if it means I get to eat salads that taste like hamburger'.]
Yeah well, it's not like I was taking care of my body lately. Humans are pretty screwed in that department. Why make the good tasting things be so bad for us?
no subject
[He smiles a little back though, because it's hard not to when Hank grins like that.]
I won't stop you from trying to make your salads taste better with magic, though.
no subject
[He has no idea of Connor would even know if a thing tastes good or bad, but at least he decides to leave the door open for him.]
You really seem to think you'll be able to force me to eat salad, don't you?
no subject
I'm very confident that I can encourage you to eat it, yes.
[And by "encourage" he means "nag until you give in".]
no subject
[He thinks back with a laugh but be careful Connor, Hank has a limit to his nagging tolerance.]
We're almost home.
[Hopefully the android not getting too comfortable, because Sumo's whining at the side of the wheelbarrow, knowing there's no place for the both of them, and this despite the rain.]
Oh hell no, you old mutt! There's enough old dog fur smell going around right now and I can't carry the both of you!
no subject
[He just wants to sit in the bath for a while. He reaches out to pat Sumo in an attempt to stop him from whining.]
You need a bath, Sumo.
[He doesn't really react to it, but he can smell the wet dog in the air.]
no subject
[First he does want to make sure that Connor's okay because - well suddenly he's turned into a fishman without any particular reason . Not that Hank cares, of course. As they get close to the front door, he continues their conversation.]
So no one zapped you or some shit? With all the magic around, I just want to make sure you weren't attacked or targeted.
no subject
[He thinks he was alone, anyway.]
I can't think of any reason why I would have suddenly changed, but I don't think it was anyone else's doing.
no subject
[Good enough for now, right? It's the best comfort he can give him. At the front door he weights his option; the frame is too small for the wheelbarrow, but on the other hand, his poor fucking back.
Even then, it's still an easy choice.]
Brace yourself cause I'm gonna carry you over to the bathroom. [He mutters the next part under his breath, which would be near impossible for a human to hear, but certainly not with an android with enhanced senses.] With any fucking luck, we don't end up face-first in the ground.
[His belief in himself to manage it is another thing entirely.]
no subject
You're a strong man. I'm sure you can carry me to the bathroom.
[Maybe he couldn't carry him all the way home, but the bathroom is close by.]
no subject
Just wish this thing was bigger. It's even more ridiculous than that bed in your room when you're like this. Pretty sure that tail could kill a man if you wanted to.
no subject
Well, I don't really want to kill anyone with it. I just want my legs back.
[He wonders how long he'll have to wait until they come back. For now, he's stuck with half of his tail hanging out of the tub.]
Maybe we should make that pool more of a priority.
no subject
[Well honestly, not that this would bother Hank Anderson. He'd do a number of illegal things to help Connor out.]
Tell you what. Once you get those legs back, we can start thinking about how big we want it and how deep and what type of spells I'll need to make it work.
[Hey did someone order a wet dog that leaves muddle footprints the entire pathway to here.]
Sumo! I said stay in the kitchen! How hard is that? Why does no one ever listen to me...
no subject
[He needs the space to swim. He turns to give Sumo a little smile, gesturing for him to come over so he can pat him.]
The bigger you can make it, the better.
no subject
[They might strike something buried deep underground in this world for all he knows.]
Wonder if they have some kiddie pools around meanwhile.
[If you think Hank is not going to tease, then you thought wrong.]
no subject
...It might not be a terrible idea.
[It would be bigger than the bath, and he has a lot of tail.]
when you think you've hit the sent button but no
Maybe a few of them so you could get that tail of yours controlled, huh? Maybe one so that Sumo can get cleaned without turning the bathroom into a war zone.
no subject
Maybe in the morning you can go out and get one, assuming my tail hasn't gone away by then.
[It's not like Connor can go get it himself.]
If it's a nice day you could sit in it, too.
[He doesn't want to have to sit on his own all day just because he can't walk.]
no subject
[Hank please stop being a little shit when you're 53 years old. He mostly uses humor to cope, in this case.]
The pool or the bath? [He knows exactly what Connor is talking about.] Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I ain't about to go out adventuring or some shit if you're stuck somewhere. Hell we could just bring you to a proper body of water instead.
no subject
[He seems pleasantly surprised, because it had obviously taken Hank a lot of effort to get him back here.]
You could bring Sumo, too.
no subject
[You think he will one day call it properly? The answer is no.]
Probably a good idea since he'd tear this place apart on his own anyway.
no subject
I think you should make more choices when you're sober, personally.
[Because when he's drunk, he looks at photos of his dead son and plays Russian Roulette. And while Connor sympathises with his loss, he does want Hank to stay alive.]
no subject
[He lingers at that, looking away before shrugging, unsure that to say. The good news is that...he didn't have the photo of his son here, or that special gun. The bad news is booze was still plentiful in this world, but at least Hank was poor and mostly concentrating and making Connor's life not hell right now.]
...don't overthink it before I accidentally turn on the hot tap. Uh...should I be getting some salt, or is just this type of water fine?
