Artemis's Transformation (Rose)

Decipherer: Nighttime shenanigans had Artemis waking up far
later in the day than he'd desired, and even then he didn't immediately notice
the change. He felt hot under the blanket covers, and as he began to move out
from them, he found his movements strangely labored, not even stopping to
consider the stiffing pains in his back. Pushing the blankets off grew harder
and harder.
He began to call out, his voice squeaky and somewhat childlike, "Help me!
Someone, help!"
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
was quickly awoken by her friend's cries for help, getting out of her seat and
rushing out into the corridors, calling out to Artemis, telling him that he'll
be there in a moment...and soon she opened the doors of Artemis's room-
Artemis! Are you okay? -She asked in concern-
Decipherer:  Artemis
is ... nowhere to be seen. But his voice continues to cry out, "I'm under
here!"
Small movements can be seen from under the blanket.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
quickly rushed over to the bed, seeing the small bump underneath the covers as
she quickly yanked it off...and her eyes widened in surprise-
Artemis! Your so small! -She shouted in surprise-
Decipherer:  He
staggers out from the blanket, regaining his balance and turning his head to
see the previously irritating wings behind him. "... Wh -- ! Where's
Elias?"
The other bed is empty.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
pondered for a moment over the little things question...but she quickly picked
Artemis up and into her arms, cradling him like a child while she smiled and
her cat ears twitched every so often-
We'll find him Artemis. Don't worry. -She cooed-
Decipherer:  Artemis
crosses his arms and flies out from her grasp -- but unsurprisingly, the
newfound ability doesn't last, and he yells as he falls to the floor.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -And
Rose was just barely quick enough to catch him, though this time her grip was a
touch tighter so he wouldn't try to run off again-
What are you anyway? -She asked curiously with one eyebrow raised-
Decipherer:  He
casts a glance back to his own new, distractingly glossy wings. ".. I
think a fairy?.."
RBDECEPTICON17:  That
does explain the size difference. I guess the fog got you too. 
-Rose said slightly nervously, looking her friend over to make sure he was
okay. He didn't look harmed...just different-
Decipherer:  "R-
right. No need to worry, I believe!" He laughs softly, his normal pleasant
demeanor returning.
RBDECEPTICON17:  Yeah.
And i'm sure that one of the lodgers is already working on a cure.
Decipherer:  "Right!
Let's just go find Elias." He offers a bright smile.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
smiles back before exiting the room with Artemis in her flat hands, looking
this way and that as she called out to Elias-
Decipherer:  There
isn't a response, and Artemis' expression grows increasingly concerned.
"Where is he?"
RBDECEPTICON17:  Hmm...maybe
the infirmary...or the main hall. -Rose suggested softly, as her face was
painted with concern for her other friend-
Decipherer:  As
the two walk through the hall, it's made fairly certain that he won't respond
-- until he does, or, someone does: a hard knocking against glass sounds from
one of the laboratories.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
freezes up, ears and tail high as she slowly turned her head to look at the
glass-
W-Who's there? -She stuttered out in fear-
Decipherer:  Elias
is sitting behind the glass, apparently an aquarium by the other creatures in
its confines. He smiles very briefly as he catches Rose's attention, but it
breaks into an actual grin when he sees the dainty Artemis in her arms.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
smiles back as she steps closer to the glass-
Your a fish? -She questioned-
Decipherer:  Elias
scowls at this, crying out a rather angry "No!" but Artemis begins to
laugh. "Yep!"
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
giggled happily as she looked her other friend over...he seemed to be okay-
What kind of fish are you? I've never seen one like that before. -She asked
curiously-
Decipherer:  Elias
snarls, sitting on the aquarium floor with a deep huff. "I'm a merman, not
a fish!"
RBDECEPTICON17:  -And
as he sat down, Rose was finally able to get a glance at the long and shiny
tail that replaced Elias's legs, eyes widening in awe and shock at the sight-
Wow! I think we got the short end of the stick compared to you, Elias! -She
shouted to him-
Decipherer:  He
rolls his eyes. "I almost died this morning from dehydration."
Artemis gasps, his eyes widening as he flutters towards the glass. "Are
you alright?"
Elias snickers, his arms crossing over his chest. "I'm fine, Arty."
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
tried to quieten a small 'aww' at the sweet moment between the two. Artemis
really did care about his brother-
Well atleast your okay now, Elias. But we still don't know how to fix our
problems.
Decipherer:  Elias
stiffens up. "We don't?"
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
just shook her head-
Decipherer:  He
grumbles something under his breath rather bitterly, before looking back to the
two. "This isn't... permanent, is it?"
RBDECEPTICON17:  I'm
not sure. Until we get rid of the fog it could become permanent. -Rose
explained somewhat nervously...she honestly didn't want to be a neko forever-
Decipherer:  Elias
sighs, running a hand through his hair that regardless still got pushed about
by water. "That's just brilliant."
RBDECEPTICON17:  Don't
go blaming me. I didn't create this fog. Come to think of it.../who/ created
this fog?
-Rose said as she pondered over her own question, ears twitching while her tail
swayed abut behind her with her thoughts-
Decipherer:  Artemis
rests a hand on her shoulder and smiles. "They'll figure it out!"
Elias continues to grumble under his breath, thankfully too softly to hear.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
sighs and gives the fairy a small smile-
Yeah...
