And Kurt's surprised, if pleasantly so. This is more what he was hoping for, even if he feels like he should have whiplash form that turnaround.
He laughs weakly at that joke.]
That'd be something! Talk about a colorful club. But you're, like, the first other person I've met who's like... this. [He says as he gestures to all of him.]
[Gar resorts to bad humor when he doesn't know how else to respond. It's one of his many delightful personality traits.
But from the faint grin lingering on his face, he seems to be... a little bit pleased. This wasn't even something he would have thought he wanted, but with this sudden revelation...
He feels a little less alone.]
Yeah, well.
Sames.
[...]
Dude, how do you hide it? That's totally cheating, man. Where do I get one of those things?
Okay, okay. Watch carefully! Now you see me, now you... see a different men! [He dabbles with a button on his watch, turning his human form on and off several times over the course of the minute.]
[His smile does flicker a bit at the word 'freaky', but otherwise he's just a mix of amused and nervous at Gar's words. And, even if Gar doesn't have an image inducer of his own, he's a bit jealous that he can grow and get rid of stuff like tails at will.
Kurt laughs as he falls over and then stands over the fallen friend.]
I think you might have some balancing issues to work out, my friend! It's not a bad look... but maybe a monkey tail would suit you better?
...I mean, mine just kinda thought I was dying of some sort of weird disease.
[...]
But they forgot about it.
...If it's been longer than a month, they might not even notice if you go around like that. I dunno how that works if you can disguise it normally anyway.
But this isn't about Retrospec! It's about me. Retrospec didn't just turn me into a furry devil for no reason. This... this has to be who I really am. I can't just... tell her this.
[Gar makes a noise as if he's about to say something before he bites his tongue. ...For a moment, he looks conflicted -- then drops his gaze to the ground.

[Gar leaps back a foot.]
Blue aliens! Possessing my friends! Who are you and what'd you do with Kurt?!
[ok so gar might be a little bit of a hypocrite]
no subject
Wait, wait, calm down! It's... me! It's still me, man! [And here he hoped for some furry solidarity!]
no subject
[Gar takes another step back and stares for a few seconds.]
What do you mean it's you? ...You can't just like... change how you...
[...]
Oh crap wait do you have like, shapeshifting powers? Oh you said 'you're like me'!
no subject
No shapeshifting, though. At least, not that I know of. I just have, like, a holo-watch. It... helps me look human.
no subject
[There is another blank stare of confusion.]
So... So -- this is you normal and you... aren't human? Is that what you're saying? This is... you?
[...]
You're... like me.
[This echo carries with it faint notes of surprise and realization.]
no subject
...Right. I don't know what I am, but... I'm definitely no normal human. [he scratches at his hair uncertainly.]
S-so yeah. We're pretty much alike! But I think I've had this going on for longer... while you're a little green!
no subject
[Gar is silent for a few moments before he reaches out and pokes Kurt for no particular reason.]
...'K, guess it's real.
[...]
Dude, we should form a club or something. Maybe we'll get a whole rainbow in here.
no subject
And Kurt's surprised, if pleasantly so. This is more what he was hoping for, even if he feels like he should have whiplash form that turnaround.
He laughs weakly at that joke.]

Dude, how do you hide it? That's totally cheating, man. Where do I get one of those things?
no subject
He waves a calming hand as he chuckles.]
W-well this watch of mine, it's called an image inducer, and it covers me up with a hologram! As for where to get it...
[He shrugs helplessly.]
Ask the Retrospec fairy for a wish?
no subject
[Gar pulls his best puppy eyes.]
Wait, I wanna see it again! Do the switch! ...And like, switch back and forth.
no subject
Okay, okay. Watch carefully! Now you see me, now you... see a different men! [He dabbles with a button on his watch, turning his human form on and off several times over the course of the minute.]
no subject
Wait, hold up.
[and also... examines his freaky hands and swings back around to -- ]
Dude you've got a tail.
Sweet.
no subject
Yep! I guess that makes for quite the tail!
no subject
[Gar sprouts a dinosaur tail and wiggles it around a bit.]
Gotta commit to the whole freaky monster bit, right? And like... tails are cool. ...I dunno, it might be too furry.
Whaddaya think?
[He whirls his tail around and unbalances himself enough that he trips.]
no subject
Kurt laughs as he falls over and then stands over the fallen friend.]
I think you might have some balancing issues to work out, my friend! It's not a bad look... but maybe a monkey tail would suit you better?
no subject
...Yeah, that's a look. I could see that working.
[...The tail shrinks away.]
Maybe I'll save the body mods for later.
...Hey. So, like... does anyone else know about you?
no subject
...Only, like, three other people. I'm trying to keep this super on the down low, you know?
no subject
['Cause it's weird and horrifying', he fills in the mental blanks. He looks faintly uncomfortable.]
...You think you'll ever just go around like that?
no subject
...It's not worth the risk. My family would kill me if they found out about this! A-and... who knows what else would happen?
no subject
[...]
But they forgot about it.
...If it's been longer than a month, they might not even notice if you go around like that. I dunno how that works if you can disguise it normally anyway.
no subject
And my mom's on the app too, anyway.
no subject
[super weird lady]
...Well, what's the problem with that, then? She'll understand the kinds of stuff Retrospec gets into.
no subject
no subject
He mumbles a few words after a bit.]
...I dunno, dude.
I... wish my mom would understand.
