In the labs

[beastisbeauty]

[Bruce is in the labs, trying to do research on the bloater creature. He managed to get some spore samples, once the bloater was gone. He's hoping some people show up for treatment, so he can get more samples. Unfortunately, he falls asleep (or maybe falls unconscious) in the middle of his research. When he wakes up, something is definitely wrong. He feels heavy and bulky, in a strange way. Looking down, he feels a wave of horror. There's no mistaking the massive green body he's looking at. Somehow, he's become the Hulk, but retained his own personality! Carefully, Bruce finds and, with a bit of fumbling, opens his journal.]

Um. I have a problem. Somehow, I've become the Hulk, but mentally remained myself. I'm trying to do research on the bloater problem, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to operate lab equipment in this form. Hulk is massive! So, uh, don't be alarmed, if you see a large, green creature roaming the halls. ... I apologize, if I accidentally break anything.

Would now be a time I should come and give you a lesson in silver linings again?

Re: [ voice ]

[beastisbeauty]

Yes. I definitely could use some help finding one, if you don't mind.

[Bruce speaks, instead of writing, as he did before and winces at the deep, loud voice he produces. He whispers.]

God, sorry, I didn't mean to shout.

Re: [ voice ]

[wishmadeinfire]

No, quite all right.

Now, where do I find you? I think this is a lesson best given in person.

Re: [ voice ]

[beastisbeauty]

I'm in the labs in the clinic. Do you know where that is?

Re: [ voice ]

[wishmadeinfire]

I know where the clinic is, so I think I can find you. Just give me a moment to make my way down there.

Re: [ voice ]

[beastisbeauty]

Sure. Trust me, I'm not going anywhere.

[wishmadeinfire]

Just a moment.

_{[ And the journal goes silent as Ashura closes it and makes his way down to the clinic and once at the clinic has to take a moment to figure out how to get to the labs.}

He finally does get in and pauses, blinking when he sees Hulk - which wasn't a hard thing to do, see him. It would be harder to miss him.

For the first time, Ashura suddenly felt quite small at his six foot height and more willowy than usual. ]

Oh dear, you were not making light of quite how big you get.

Re: voice > action

[beastisbeauty]

[Bruce waits patiently, shifting around so he is facing the door. He smiles when Ashura appears. He shrugs at the man's comment.]

No, I'm afraid I wasn't. I'm not even sure I can leave the room without damaging things.

_{[ He looked back at the door and then back at him. ]}

No, I think that staying here might be the best thing for you. At the least you are not rampaging?

[She has no idea what to make of this, but...]

Who is the Hulk?

Re: dictated;

[beastisbeauty]

Well, me, sort of. Maybe. He's rather like an alternate personality, except the physical changes are more dramatic...I'm not sure he even has a full personality. [Bruce sighs.] He might just be a physical manifestation of my rage.

[freeslider]

You're not being metaphorical, are you?

[beastisbeauty]

I wish I was, but no.

[freeslider]

You don't sound very angry right now...

[beastisbeauty]

No, I'm not. That's the problem. I shouldn't be like this and I don't know what will happen if I do get angry.

[freeslider]

You don't think it would maybe...work in reverse?

[beastisbeauty]

I might, but there's no guarantee of that. Anything could happen. Hulk could appear in my body. Hulk could simply take over this body. Nothing. I guess it would depend on the castle.

[originalcopy]

Well, that's just awesome.

[beastisbeauty]

Well, that is one word for it...if you're being ironic.

[originalcopy]

Yeah, usually.

So how much shit have you busted so far?

[beastisbeauty]

Uh. I broke the chair I was sitting on. So far, I've been keeping really still.

[originalcopy]

You might want to practice with something that isn't too delicate.

[beastisbeauty]

Well, I'm in the labs. Pretty much everything is delicate...comparatively.

[originalcopy]

Well, maybe you should practice some where it's not so full of fragile shit?

[beastisbeauty]

Practice? ... Um, no, this isn't...the castle is messing with me. Why would I do this?
