Tuesday: Shapeshifters
Hi! I’m brumeier, and today we’re exploring our wild sides! Today's theme is SHAPESHIFTERS! Prompts can be anything, so long as it involves someone (or something? Hmm.) that can change from one form to another, however you want to interpret that.
Just a few rules:No more than five prompts in a row ( Read more... )

But Rodney was worked up into a pretty good lather, red in the face, shouting at Radek.
The other scientists backed away, wary. Some of them reached for their radios. Should they get Sheppard on the line?
" - And I cannot take this anymore!" Rodney shouted.
Radek got up in his face. "Neither can I!"
There was a puff of smoke, and Rodney's clothes collapsed to the floor.
A moment later, a sleek white ferret crawled out of Rodney's clothes.
Miko sighed and set the brownies and coffee aside. "Dammit, Radek. You made it happen again."
Radek pushed his glasses up his nose. "I'm right and you know it. Besides, isn't he supposed to be taking meditation lessons with Teyla?"
Dr. Biro shouted, "Close the door! Don't let him escape!"
But the wily ferret darted straight for the door.
Major Lorne leaned down, scooped him up. "Have pets been authorized on Atlantis?" He cradled the ferret gently, stroking its sleek fur. "Hey, pretty guy. You lost? You hungry?" He stepped into the lab, setting the ferret on his shoulder with the air of someone much accustomed to animals.
Everyone tensed, expecting the ferret to attack or menace Lorne, but instead it nuzzled his ear and settled in for the ride.
"Colonel Sheppard said Dr. McKay needed a human light switch." Lorne came to stand beside Rodney's workbench. "Where is he?"
Radek kicked Rodney's clothes aside.
"He had to step out," Miko said. "But Radek could use your assistance. Radek?" She cast him a pointed look.
"This way, Major," Radek said, guiding him to the storage closet of unidentified Ancient devices.
They spent the next hour attempting to initiate various devices. All the while, the ferret stayed with Major Lorne, either resting on his shoulders or running up and down his arms. Lorne was affectionate with the ferret, petting it and cooing at it, letting it nuzzle him. He even got one of the KP Marines to bring him some foil to roll into balls for the ferret to play with.
Miko ended up sending a message to Lieutenant Cadman, had her put in a call to Lorne so he would go away before the ferret turned back into Rodney.
Cadman came through right away, and Lorne set the ferret down on the desk, nuzzled it goodbye, and headed off to meet Cadman for her fictitious request for assistance.
A few minutes later, the ferret turned into a much calmer Rodney. He pulled his clothes back on and got to work.
Lorne was none the wiser for his repeated encounters with Rodney the distressed ferret.
Until one time when Rodney sniffed his hair.
