[greenmoonrising]

[Handwriting is a bit messy, clearly written by a shaky hand.]

Does anyone know about any transfiguration spells that can change your sex, and if yes, anyone have any information on how to reverse said spell?

[He's been made into a girl, bear with his panicking.]

Comments

[greenmoonrising]

Oh for fuck's-

[You asked for it Tony - PUNCHES HARD IN THE ARM AGAIN.]

You know what your problem is!? You're an arrogant greedy jerk and you just can't stand seeing one of your fucking possessions talking to someone else!

[Eyes practically glowing green with tears gathering in them because gdit he didn't realize girls could actually cry from anger AND frustration.]

And clearly you get worse just because I suddenly happen to have breasts and-

[Chokes and puts a hand to her head, eyes clenching shut and backing away shakily. Breathing a bit too quickly and teeth very obviously sharp now, an animalistic snarl escaping.]

Tony, it's-

[moveslikejaeger]

[....If he hadn't smelled like a teenaged boy before, Maxim certainly did now. Wow, Bruce as a girl was some kind of fierce. Wow. Just wow. Maybe he wouldn't sneak all the way into the library, because he really just wanted to watch Tony get his balls handed to him.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony steps back and rubs his arm again]

Okay, really that's getting ol-

[He stares at Bruce for a split second and wastes no time in putting his hands on the now-girl's shoulders, and leans in close to look her in the eyes.]

Woah, hey, come on Bruce. Breath, just come on, you know out with the old air, in with the new? Just concentrate. Come on!

[Tony gives a quick glance around to take stock of where he is, and how easy it would be to drag Bruce somewhere isolated and safe for him and everyone else. Nothing seemed close enough. Trying his up most to keep calm. Knowing that acting scared would only encourage the wolf.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Keeps breathing quickly and with great panic, eyes snapping open and staring at Tony pleadingly.]

C-an't- I-

[Winces as nails begin to lengthen into claws, tears streaming down cheeks as she tries to fight it but it's too close to full moon and it's harder than usual.]

M-Maxim- Call a teacher-!

[moveslikejaeger]

[Maxim was gone before his brain even had a chance to fully process the situation. He was given an order, and he responded, that was the way he was trained to behave.]

[Half-way down the hall, it occurred to him that really, he should have been the one to stay, because there was no way Tony could hold Bruce off if he turned violent, and also, he was the one who pushed him so far, but there was no time to argue]

[arrogantalloy]

No, you can. Just stick with me. Hey, look. I've pulled my head out my ass, jut for this.

[He pulls her into his arms, holding her tight and rubbing her back.]

Just think of calm blue oceans, bread rolls and gravy, the rev cycle on a Ford Roadster. It's okay, just breath. Find a happy place, you can do this Bruce.

[Admittedly if this doesn't work, he's out of ideas that don't involve ropes]

[greenmoonrising]

[Trembles hard, the sudden increase in proximity to Tony at first startling and then instantly soothing as she inhales his scent. Gulps at air desperately and grips Tony's shirt, accidentally tearing holes with the claws but thankfully, the changes seem to have stopped for now, leaving Tony with an armful of female with fangs and claws and big green eyes.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony moves from rubbing her back to stroking her hair, shooshing her calmly.]

Hey look, I know I'm probably the biggest, well, ass at this school. And that I'm always doing something that gets on your nerves.

[He keeps stroking and keeping her close.]

But you're pretty much the only one I can always rely on to be there for me.

[He's quite for a moment then says quietly]

And I'll always try to be there for you, even if I'm an inconsiderate ass.

[greenmoonrising]

[Shoulders shaking and still gasping for air, she keeps her head down and eyes closed, flinching as she feels claws receding slowly. The fangs make talking a bit slurred but she manages a snarky, if shaky, retort:]

I'm the only one who puts up with your shit is why.

[Winces when teeth cut lip open, breathing slowly returning to normal and the fangs shrinking down to dull human teeth again.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He doesn't stop stroking her hair]

Exactly. All the more reason I'm going to be there for you. So you can always put up with my shit, and you always have someone to laugh at.

[greenmoonrising]

[Rests her forehead against his shoulder and chest for a moment, closing her eyes.]

I knew there was a reason I kept you around.

[Leans back a bit and lifts her face, grey eyes rimmed red and cheeks still tear-stained, but at least she's smiling wryly.]

[arrogantalloy]

I'm nothing if not good at being amusing.

[Tony looks at her as she pulls away. He blinks at her face. Taking out a hankerchef, and wipes at her eyes. Chewing his little a little suddenly feeling awkward as she smiles at him.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Flinches at the sudden approach of the hankie, automatic response being to bristle that he doesn't need babying. Instead, calming down, closes both eyes and let's Tony take care of the mess, sighing tiredly.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He's very gentle and delicate as he wipes her eyes, and looks at her for a very long moment while not moving at all.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Hesitates before opening her red-rimmed eyes, not really able to see Tony's face clearly from such a distance without her glasses. Tries for a weak smile.]

Do I look pretty yet?

[arrogantalloy]

You've always lo-

[He stops and clears his throat a moment, before putting away his hanky now that her face is tear free, then grins at her.]

Prettier than any Monet I've seen.

[He awkwardly brushes some hair from her face.]

How are you feeling now?

[greenmoonrising]

[Snorts in a distinctly un-ladylike manner, eyes widening when he brushes the hair from her face in a distinctly Bruce-like 'oAo' face.]

... Um... I-

[Ducks head.]

Better. Not hysterical.

[arrogantalloy]

[Feels himself grinning at her snort.]

Well good, not hysterical is good.

[Plays with her hair a moment, not entirely aware that he's doing it.]

Do you need a water, or something?

[greenmoonrising]

[Notices Tony's hand but chalks it up to Tony just behaving like he does with girls, sighing and shaking her head.]

No, I think... I just need to sit down for a bit. Maybe take a nap if I can... The other guy doesn't like being teased like that, leaves me with a headache afterwards.

[Winces and rubs her temples, feeling lingering traces of the wolf gnashing at her restraints.]

[arrogantalloy]

Well, it wasn't on purpose.

[He realises his hands playing with his hair and awkardly pulls it away, then clears his throat.]

Uh, so... Hm, let's go back to the dorms, then?

[greenmoonrising]

[Nods slowly, turning to face down the hall to head for the tower before pausing.]

Wait, what about Maxim?

[arrogantalloy]

What about him? He's probably found something shiny to distract himself with. Or his own reflection.

[greenmoonrising]

No I mean, he went to get a teacher... it'd be rude if we just took off without waiting...

[arrogantalloy]

Well, he'll tell them I was with you. So as long as they don't find, blood or hear howling down the halls, they'll probably just come looking for us where ever we are.

[greenmoonrising]

[Sags tiredly against wall and frowns, staring down the hallway Maxim went.]

Still...
