Shapeshifting Club Event [Open]

"I'll take an apron too." Sebastian said smiling at Lonan's reply, he watched Vieve work she seemed fairly nimble and light on her feet and her little butt wiggle was not bad itself. Sebastian grinned a goofy grin as he looked at all the masks, what should he make? A wolf mask to represent what he was or something.. different. He looked at the older man he seemed to know what he was talking about, Sebastian didn't even think about everyone in the club being mammal ShapeShifters. The thought of being with people who could transform into birds and other animals would be cool.

He looked back to Lonan and smiled, Sebastian could feel some sort of flirtation coming from Lonan but shrugged it off, the guy seemed cool and that was all he cared about. He dipped his finger in the paper mache and looked at it, he had never done anything like this before and he wasn't the artsy type so this was going to be a struggle.

"No," Vieve said in response to the mammalian shapeshifters comment. "It's still varied. We had a few dragons at the last meeting, a unicorn, and a quetzel. The group tends to fluctuate. I don't know what the make-up will be this year, with all the new students coming in."

She wiped her forehead on the back of her arm, although this didn't save her from accidentally smearing some of the paper mache goop across her face. She didn't appear to notice and given her messy state, it seemed that she was unlikely to care.

"You interested in attending our next meeting?" she asked Ignatius.

The other two boys seemed well versed in the art of having a good time, so Vieve reached beneath the stand to pull out some more newspaper shreds to add to the concoction.

"How long have you gentlemen been on the island?" she asked the three of them.

Lonan took the apron from the tall man who was too good for paper mache, and didn't offer any sort of thanks for it. Despite what people often assumed when they saw him walking around in a suit, he wasn't actually mindful of proper etiquette. He bit the apron, holding it with his mouth while he quickly folded his jacket. The grass looked safe enough to him, so he tossed it a couple feet away. He then slipped the apron over his head and tied it.

A cocky grin appeared on his face as the older adults discussed the types of shifters in the club. "I can shift into whatever the hell I want to," he declared. He was over-stating his abilities since he felt like bragging. It was true for the most part, but being a dragon, unicorn, or quetzalcoatl sounded fun, and he didn't think he could shift into those. He could be a Komodo dragon, though. If anyone asked, he would count that giant lizard as a dragon, but it wasn't nearly as cool.

He watched Sebastian poke at the art supplies. He looked as confused by it as Lonan felt, but a little kid had made one, so it couldn't be that hard. He grabbed a sticky piece of newspaper, and plopped it on one of the bases. Now he just needed to figure out how to make it look like something.

He glanced up at Vieve when she asked another question. "I haven't been here long at all now. I got off the ship this morning, so I did, and I'm after bringing my things to my dorm room," he answered. He stuck another piece of newspaper in a random spot on the mask.

Dragons. Shifters so often did seem to be animals the rest of the world would have considered mythical. Extinct animals - long dead from the face of the earth - tended to be underrepresented. He couldn't say it was all that surprising, but... ah, well what could he do? Maybe he'd have to get on Aloysius's case.

"Perhaps some outreach, but certainly not attending." He was no student - nor a member of the faculty. "Simply a businessman who remembers being in an older version of a shapeshifting club - probably the precursor to this one. I grew up on the island, but I've long since graduated." Clubs did tend to change over time, as new blood brought in new ideas, and different faculty took over.

He let out a tiny noise of annoyance as the boy simply took the apron without a world. So much for business etiquette. The comment was so... snarky. So arrogant. And even Ignatius knew what it most likely meant.

"Even into a human." He added dryly. People who could turn into anything tended to be non-human to begin with.

Sebastian listened intently to the conversation, he was intrigued in people who could shapeshift into multiple forms and this Ignatius guy seemed to know a lot. Hopefully if the man joins the club as an outreach or something Sebastian would be able to ask questions. Sebastian continued making his mask, he decided to simply go with a wolf as that was what he was and he wanted everyone to know.

"So when does the club meet? Do we get anything? Like shirts and stuff." He said as he glued up some more paper and put it on his mask, accidentally launching some towards Lonan. "Sorry bud." He said with a laugh.

Vieve was quite interested in what the man with the usual eyes was saying.

"Help with the outreach programs would be much appreciated," Vieve said. "We've been trying to gain greater public awareness for the cause, but there are still those that are loath to host a large gathering of shapeshifters."

She shook her head and gave a sad, tired sigh. "You'd think that here, of all places, we wouldn't have to petition to rent a dining hall because management is too afraid of having animal hair all over the floor."

She shook her head as though clearing herself of negative thoughts and gave a slight grin as she watched Lonan and Sebastian work.

"What sort of business are you a part of?" she asked Ignatious.

When Sebastian asked her a question, Vieve took a moment to answer.

"We have regular meetings the night of the full moon by the statue in the woodlands. We do not offer free things yet, because our budget is really small, but we do offer help getting shapeshifting students scholarships at the academy," Vieve explained. "Oh! we do offer free food, though. There is almost always food at our events."

Her stomach growled in response.

"I'm human right now, aren't I?" Lonan said, glaring at the freakishly tall person. He was proud of being a pooka, but being stuck with animal features in human form did get annoying. He flattened his ears to try to hide them in his hair. They were still clearly visible, but it made him feel better. Mr. Skyscraper didn't exactly have a flawless human form either with his weird eyes, pointy teeth, and skyscraper-ness.

"What the hell do ye shift into anyway? A wee kitten?" he asked, butting into whatever boring, not-about-him conversation was going on. He had no idea what the man was, but his hair reminded Lonan of a lion, so that's what he was assuming for now. It didn't explain the eyes, or the question about mammals, but Lonan didn't care about that.

Lonan could be bigger than an lion. Tigers were bigger. Elephants were bigger. Blue whales were most definitely bigger. He seriously doubted this old guy was something bigger than a whale. Whatever he was, Lonan was going to win his imagined competition for best shapeshifter.

He blinked when he felt something wet splatter on him.

Was that more glue? It felt like the gross glue. He looked down. It was the gross glue! He turned his head to stare at Sebastian. He didn't find glue on himself to be funny, but he was more than happy to return the favor. He suddenly grabbed the entire container of glue, and flung the contents at Sebastian. "Ah, it slipped," he said grinning.

"I'm sure I can find a conference room for the whole group." And he was quite confident of that. He had hosted plenty of gatherings, and he knew exactly who to talk to in order to find a decently sized conference hall at a good price. "You only need to tell me when you want it and how many people to expect." He came from an entire family of shapeshifters, and he felt it was his duty, in a way, to see that the club did well.

"I primarily deal in loans, but the company has it's finger in a whole lot of things." Many of the small businesses on the islands had gotten their initial loans from Ignatius's company, even if it had been under his father or grandfather's control at the time.

Lonan was not far off in thinking he might be a lion - Lions were supposed to be king of the jungle, after all, and his own form was literally the king tyrant lizard. But no, he was no fluffy mammal. "A Tyrannosaurus." No one could be blamed for not recognizing his traits, considering almost no one had seen a living Tyrannosaurus in the flesh. "My family are all Dinosauria, although mostly Theropoda." While technically a few herbivores did exist on the outer edges of his family, most of the core was carnivorous theropoda like spinosaurs or velociraptors.

@Sakarri @"Thoth" and @"Karlos_Baron"

Since it's been a while, I figured we might as well wrap up the thread?

Romi · Oct 14, 2015

Ignatius was polite enough to avert his eyes when she dug around for her business cards, although he slid his eyes right back over as they appeared. It hadn't been hard to guess what she would ask, and he reached out, taking them carefully before tucking them away. "Mmm, It might be difficult to do. Unfortunately, my transformation is not nearly as... ah, graceful as some of those with more human sized shifts. It can be quite traumatizing to see, I've been told." There was also the unfortunate thing about clothes. He hated to be seen in anything less than the best, but the best could hardly withstand his transformation. Even clothing that was meant to withstand shapeshifting often didn't last. He was simply too big, a massive change in size that precious few fabrics could keep up with.

"It was nice to see you." He said, inclining his head and giving the two students only a brief glance before turning and being on his way.
