event plan yo

Oh that's right, it's a ~PLAN FOR MINI-EVENT~ thing

----------------

[The scene begins at SILVERLODE FALLS. ELEANOR is sitting moodily around here. She might be sitting in the desert outside Xoral, but she gets sunburnt if she does that. The irony is not lost on her. Also the water is reflective, which should make for great metaphors and Lion King scene takeoffs when the real transformation shit arrives.]

ELEANOR: Woe is me, etc. I am fleshy and mammal and it is wrong, wrong! I clearly should have been a Xoran, but alas I was born human and due to personal beliefs I think that it is my place to stay human. Woe!

[ARION appears in a cloud of glitter and mardi gras beads. Or, you know, a puff of truth or something.]

ARION: I couldn't help but overhear your fit of emo.

ELEANOR: Jesus! What are you doing here?

ARION: You may not have seen the newsletter, but I'm now made of truth and stuff. To protect the world from devastation! To unite all peoples within My nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend My reach to the stars above--

ELEANOR: Oh boy, I must have been drinking green dragon by mistake.

ARION: No seriously. You got a problem with truth?

ELEANOR: Look, this is my story. Soft and chewy on the outside, crunchy Xoran on the inside, unbelievable scale envy, stuck as a human. I would be SO MUCH HAPPIER if I were a real Xoran, but alas, I am not. Actually, this runs some pretty interesting parallels with gender confusion issues and-

ARION: Pff. You really think you'd be happier?

ELEANOR: I've only had 140 years to think about this shit, buddy.

ARION: Well, you asked for it.

[ARION waves his... truth sword or something, I don't know, and ELEANOR does a sailor moon transformation sequence complete with implied nudity- or maybe like that scene at the end of Beauty and the Beast, except when the light stops shooting out of her she's a Xoran, not an ugly prince]

ELEANOR: Holy fuck!

ARION: You're welcome!

[ARION disappears in a puff of logic.]

---------------

[What follows is some cute RP with ELEANOR and AKARYUTERRA in which ELEANOR has to learn how to control a tail and stuff. Also lots of doing-things-that-AKARYUTERRA-enjoys-because-he-is-lizard. This would probably take a couple of weeks of roleplay because they like to luxuriate in these things and also AKARYUTERRA has all that school shit to get on with. After a while though, ELEANOR would finally come to the realisation that she doesn't feel any different as a Xoran than she did as a human. Also she misses having hair.]

----------------

ELEANOR: Hey, Arion?

[ARION arrives to the sound of a spanish guitar and a swirl of rose petals.]

ARION: Hey there, you're the human I turned up to 11. How you liking it? Sweet, no? Totally the truth you were after and shit. [He snickers.]

ELEANOR: Yeah um, about that. I miss my tits, and I pretty much figured out my scale envy was pretty baseless. I am who I am, etc, pretty moral about being who you are and not who you think you should be.

ARION: Nice philosophy, yo.

ELEANOR: ...So... about being mammalian again?

ARION: No.

ELEANOR: What?

ARION: Listen, lady, you asked for this shit, you live with it. I have given you a GIFT, the gift of TRUTH. It ain't my problem that it turns out you're in the wrong skin after all.

ELEANOR: ...I'm beginning to see why Kerrithrim punted you into last week.

ARION: OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME, I have to go and get a haircut. Later, bb!

[ARION strolls away.]

ELEANOR: ...Well, fuck.

[ELEANOR mopes for a while and, like, soliloquises on how she should have been happy with what she had, not yearning after something else. Then she realises that she could just get one of those handy crystals and immediately gets her mammal groove back on. Curtains, credits roll, happy ending.]
