bamfing | Elf - [Action/Voice]

[Having already determined the village is full of people in the wrong shapes, Kurt wasn't all that surprised to find himself in a new body. Sure, the five fully functional fingers was new. And walking without his tail as a counterbalance was just surreal. And how on earth did people walk on their heels. No, really, the fact that really shocked him was that his entire body was monochrome. Sure, maybe his favorite actor had always been in black and white movies, but this was just... a little odd.

Nevertheless, he decides to set out and make good use of his new form. Particularly, of course, by going out and charming women with his oh-so-obviously attractive new (old) features. So if you're a pretty girl (and hopefully not too young), you'll have his attention. Or if you're just someone he knows, he'll want to show off. Later on, while having a drink (non-alcoholic!) at Good Spirit, he'll make a voice message.]

So did anyone else actually turn into something cool during this experiment?

((Replies from

monochromehero. Yes, he's now Errol Flynn. 4th wall that as you will.))

[Just this look as you go walking down the street, man.]

[Well, she's technically too young for him. At least like this. BUT NO MATTER. He flashes her a smile.]

Hello there. How's today treating you?

[Better than you right now, buddy.]

Uh... fine. Just... who are you supposed to be? And why are you black and white?

Call me Flynn. Errol Flynn. [He needs an excuse. Um.] I seem to have misplaced my coloration.

[She has no idea who that is.]

Do you want me to call you Flynn or Errol Flynn? [Maybe he's a New Feather?]

...and how can you 'misplace your coloration?'

[You make no sense.]

I'm happy with Flynn. As for my colors, well, it's complicated. [Something about televisions.] But you're all the color I need.

[...]

Your hair is yellow when it's colored, isn't it.

It's bl- [Oh wait, he's Flynn. His hair color is-] brown. A dark brown. I wish you could see it.

[Sure it is.

And aren't you full of yourself? She's got better things to do than hang around here.]

Look - are you new here? Do you need any help?

You could say that. Can I start with your name?

[He can't just let her escape!]

I'm Katara.

[And you're old and somewhat creepy and she doesn't really want to spend more time here than she has to.]

How long have you been in Luceti? Has anyone showed you the guide yet?

[...she will have to do something very nice for Raine later, as a thank-you for the guide's existence.]

I've seen it. [Sorry, you're not getting off this easy.] I've been in Luceti... awhile now.

[...sure you have.]

Okay, good! Then you won't need me to show you around.

[Has s he mentioned 'black and white and creepy?'

She'll just be going now.]

[... wait, wait! She's leaving!] H-hey! Where are you going?

[A quick glance back - oh good, he's still standing right there. She'll just keep walking quickly away.]

I have some errands to run. It was nice meeting you, Flynn!

Hey wait!

[And abruptly he teleports in front of her.]

Okay, okay! It's me, Kurt!

Kurt?

[First you're blue.

Now you're black and white.

What gives?]

Yeah... pretty weird, huh? But look what I can do!

[He holds up one hand and wiggles ALL FIVE fingers.]

[Blank stare.]

That's... great?

[Sorry, she is not so familiar with your real form that she'd automatically see why this is good.]

I guess so. I always wondered how people kept track of so many fingers...

Oh! [She gets it now! Sort of.] Does it feel weird?

Totally! But not as weird as having no tail. I used to wonder how you guys managed it!

[Actually peering a little around him now to see - yup, no tail.]

Huh. So who is this guy they made you look like?

Errol Flynn, a famous actor. He used to star in a lot of black and white movies. Which is why.... yeah. [Clearly Kurt should have watched more stuff in color.]
