It took Kyna decades? Damn she looks good for her age.
[He would be deadeyeing Tucker pretty hard if this wasn't a text conversation.]
She taught me a cantrip. Didn't take that long and so far I've suffered a grand total of zero negative effects. You don't even want to learn stuff like that?
took her a long ass time to be able to do what i do shes been practicing since she was a kid which is a lil bit illegal btw but polymorph isnt a fuckin entry level spell n doin it on urself is even harder cantrips are fine ig but i dont really need em like what oh you can make fire cool so does a fuckin match listen i get that magic is like new n special to u ppl here but back home its p mundane n p heavily regulated not that exciting when u got govt offices for it
Jeez okay okay I get it. I'm just trying to understand your logic that's all. Where does polymorph factor into this though? Is that like the one spell you know or something? How'd you manage that without a focus? Btw I still think its more useful to be able to conjure fire because then you don't need a match. Who even uses matches anymore? Get a lighter dude.
i dont need a lighter i dont smoke it was just an example anyway polymorph is like the spell that lets other ppl do what my ppl do im not human dude im a shapeshifter i dont need magic to turn into somethin else its just what i do
[Hm. This would be hilarious if it wasn't potentially a deal-breaker. Don't fuck him on this, Newt. Fuck him on other things.]
what do u mean what i meant exactly what i said guess some of us can turn into more than one thing but i only got one uve even seen me in my other form lmao remember the wolf? the black one theres other ones runnin around here ig
Holy SHIT that was YOU? Wtf! Why the hell didn't you tell me! Asshole!! That's AWESOME!
[Unfortunately this is a text conversation so Tucker won't be able to note the sudden pause followed by Newt making this face but he'll probably be able to pick up on the general vibe at least.]
You son of a bitch you totally knew who I was when you came into the lab the first time didn't you? HAH YOU CAME ONTO ME ON PURPOSE!
[Okay, phew. It's still weird for people to call that awesome instead of like, calling the cops on him, but he'll take it.]
yea it was and yea did lol
[He means he knew it was him. He isn't sure why Newt thinks Tucker coming onto him on purpose was a HAH situation, since he did it to get at the computer, but sure.]
No kidding it's cool! Jeez dude. I can't believe you didn't clue me in on this earlier. Legitimate question: What the hell???
[And don't worry, JT, Newt will show his work for the HAH situation...]
You could've just asked about the super computer you know. Even without telling me about the wolf thing like you did not have to try that hard lol. But with the wolf thing it wouldve been even easier? I totally owed you a solid for helping me get into the lab during the invasion. You gave us a ton of Null scrap.
its complicated ok not a thing u should say to ppl back where im from so im not in the habit of sharin it but hey nobody here gives a sht so lol w/e ig n yea i realize p quick i didnt need to try that hard but u kno what maybe i did want a lil extra to go w that computer lol that aint a crime
Alright I guess that makes sense. From what I know of where you're from it sounds pretty similar to my world except minus kaiju plus magic so I'm assuming you're talking about a stigma against werewolves? Are those a thing in your world? The whole man turns into a wolf during the full moon thing? Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that youre not that since you said shapeshifter and we didn't exactly have a moon during the Null invasion to turn you. Omg I knew it.
[Clearly, which is why this revelation is a thing in the first place.]
Youre right it's not a crime but you being so hush hush isn't great for my ego. Lol. Glad to know us hooking up wasn't entirely out of necessity and/or convenience.
yea we got werewolves and yea im not one werewolves got like a disease n they cant control their changes most of the time a lot of them are violent n shit just bc thats how the disease works but naturally that makes ppl shitty about it and a lot of ppl mistake us for them doesnt go well
[He's not gonna address the other thing. Newt has enough of an ego.]
Yeah I get you. That sucks. People are stupid. Like what you've just described versus what little information I have about your deal is enough to clue me into those things being wildly different. So like lol not sure why idiots would get the two things confused. But yeah I doubt anyone is going to care around here. We've seen weirder honestly. So you can just change like whenever? What's the process like? Can you turn into other stuff or just a wolf?
i mean u said it urself ppl are stupid lol i can do it whenever i want yeah its hard to describe it happens p fast kinda like stretching like a muscle or w/e doesnt hurt or anything now that im used to it cant turn into other shit but ig there are some of us who can
Wtf thats so awesome. You have to show me this sometime. Why can't you turn into other stuff if other shapeshifters can? Maybe you could learn to turn into like a bird or something. That'd be neat. Or like a dinosaur? Is it just limited to animals? Could you be like a dragon if you wanted?
sure lol next time were together ig and idfk god this is the only thing that comes naturally to me the other ones mustve figured out some way to override that shit idk if its limited to animals but my dude a dragon is not an animal lol there like lizard ppl but w/ fire n shit
Hm well you should see if you could turn into other stuff sometime. Like what's stopping you? Have you like met dragons and stuff before? Man your world sounds so freaking cool...
idk whats stoppin me dude idek how this shit works i just do the thing n when i do the thing im a wolf n not a fuckin idk a horse or w/e met one dragon two times she was a bitch n now shes dead good fuckin riddance tbh
Why don't you know how it works? I never got that. You'd think youd want to know as much as you can about what you are but a ton of people don't know the first thing about the human body. I cant imagine that. But uh what kind of dragons we talking here? Theres loads of different kinds where I'm from. Fictional kinds though. Like in movies and stuff.
not exactly somethin they teach u in school lmfao not a lot of us around not safe to go to the dr or w/e probs somebody knows but nobody ive met anyway theyre big lizards w wings n horns n shit they talk n use magic got four legs the two leg kinds is wyverns
