Well, I would like to personally retract some earlier theories. And also say, YESSS! This got real interesting real fast!
Now it is time to have some fun.

I think I'm going to start calling this Marion's Law. It's like Murphy's law which is "anything that can go wrong will go wrong" and instead "anything that can go wrong after being turned into an animal will go wrong."
Okay, what self respecting teen uses the yellow pages or even knows what a phone book is?

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
Aw, look, he's making a little paper den!
Well, he’s tried for an answer
in all the logical places.
Now he’s going to have to think;
put his brain through it’s paces.
I’m guessing this is his Mom here,
a Lady of obvious power.
What will she think of coming home
into a little nuts’ tower?
Will she hear his bonkers tale?
Will she kick her out on her tail?
Will she check herself in the bin
as her son’s life goes off the rail?

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
Well, now you've done it, Marion. It would have been hard enough explaining things while not wired up on caffene, but now you'll be lucky not to land in a wildlife rehabilitation center!

He dodged a bullet with the sugared cereal, only to take a double barrel shotgun of caffeine.
Also I know from personal experience that what Marion's probably feeling is no laughing matter at all. I once went through almost two 44 ounce cups of mountain dew in a single 8 hour work shift, and I ended up going to the emergency room later that night because I legit thought I was having a heart attack. That's scary stuff.

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
In my defense I was right about one thing though. I did say that his next step would be checking the internet and I was right.
But I was sooo wrong about his mother. Glad I did not put money on this.
Please. Please don't do the most obvious thing and kick him out, Julia. Don't scream. DON'T FREAK OUT. Everyone remain calm because there is a much better way of handling this situation without doing the most cliche thing imaginable.
Wait a minute. "Marion's Mom?" Not Julia but Marion's Mom? Doesn't that seem silly?

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
As a doctor, I can approve, that was a very stupid idea. Palpitations (the feeling of your heart beating) aren't that bad, Tachycardia ([very] fast heart rate) is.
Edit, because I got soft ninja'd by Fb: Even if it is cliche, how would you react if you don't know anything about Transformation actually existing or Gendertransformation... The only way she would know is by the calls she recieved on her Voicemailbox, but who actually checks them...

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
Well she could simply faint or Marion could quickly inform her of what is going on then she faints. Or she could be incredibly calm about the entire situation and pour herself a glass of wine. We still don't know what she does for a living. It could be a occupation that is so extreme that coming home to a squirrel laying on her coffee table doesn't even faze her.Jakkal wrote: Edit, because I got soft ninja'd by Fb: Even if it is cliche, how would you react if you don't know anything about Transformation actually existing or Gendertransformation...

Or she could be a huge animal lover and simply be like "Hello little one, what are you doing here?"
Marion: "Mom, it's me, Marion. I woke up as a squirrel and I can't figure out why or how to change back!"
Then she faints.

I do admit that I am quite impressed how he was able to open that can with one hand so casually, yet wonder why in the world he destroyed that poor phonebook.

Why do you think he did that? It's a very squirrel thing to do. I don't see a sane reason for Marion tearing up so many pages. He might be succumbing to squirrel instincts, but I that would spell bad news for Marion's future trying to live a human life and we haven't seen something like that before (then again, the only thing against that is King not wanting to sniff butts).Welsh Halfwit wrote:Aw, look, he's making a little paper den!

Than wouldn't help because the message wasn't saved due to her full inbox.

The simultaneous use of he and she in this thread is very interesting to me.
I too am all for Marion not being kicked out but if I walk in my house and see papers all scattered around with a squirrel in the middle I'd be livid.

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
oh, you are right, my bad, so she just recieved the call. Which make me wonder. What she is doing for a living. 3 hours after Marion going to school [or standing up] she comes back. It is not a typical nightshift, or early shift in any shape or form.Champion Wallace wrote:.Than wouldn't help because the message wasn't saved due to her full inbox.

I love the teenager enthusiasm, throwing himself whole-heartedly at a problem he has no idea where to begin with, and I love the teenaged limitations of not actually getting anywhere with the problem. It feels really true to character

Not sure what Marion was expecting to do with the yellow pages in the first place. Call the local wizards? Call that weird white fox?fenrirblack wrote:Okay, what self respecting teen uses the yellow pages or even knows what a phone book is?
Personal Theory? Marion's situation is a Batman Gambit by Pete to get back his powers. With his apparent affinity for transformations (IIRC, all Transformations, sans Mr. Milton have been caused by him) and Kitsune seeming to actually want what's best for the Mortals, he might give him his powers back to reverse Marion's situation, and him finding a loophole to keep his powers.

Yes, but the magic coin is in posession of Steward and Craig (I mean Pete, I mean Craig, no, wait, I mean...), probably doesn't know that.
You should get in touch with Dissension, he's the head of Pete's fanclub. Total members: er......two, apparently. That's two more than I expected.Geartooth wrote:Can you tell I really like Pete yet

But this shows his powers are still lingering after his transformation, and things cursed by him prior still retain some sort of power. The Macguffin (MacGriffin?) doesn't have to be the coin.leinglo wrote:That was a magical trap left behind by Pete, not a direct action by Pete himself.

It's likely that once an object is imbued with power, the owner of that power doesn't need to constantly refresh that power.Geartooth wrote:But this shows his powers are still lingering after his transformation, and things cursed by him prior still retain some sort of power.

Just like cursed items in D&D, you lay the curse and it's there until the curse is deliberately dispelled or the item destroyed.
Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
The most that Craig would probably be able to do with the coin is understand how it works, and potentially how to disarm it or reverse it's effect. But, again, Craig doesn't know about the coin to begin with. Even if he's seen it, unless he sees it being used, or it has some magical signature he might be able to recognize, he has no way of knowing that Steward's coin is part of his old cursed treasure pile.Lockely wrote:It's likely that once an object is imbued with power, the owner of that power doesn't need to constantly refresh that power.Geartooth wrote:But this shows his powers are still lingering after his transformation, and things cursed by him prior still retain some sort of power.

Re: 2019/05/20 - Power Up
What I meant is, Craig/Pete doesn't know that one of the cursed coins made it out of the temple and is currently at large. As far as he's concerned, everything that was inside it is gone. Thus, unless there's something that makes Craig realize "wait a minute, that's one of mine!" he has no reason to suspect that Steward's coin is anything other than an ordinary coin.Geartooth wrote:Craig is very much Pete.
