[Like everyone else, Kurotsuchi has changed. The white haori doesn't fit very well, and billows around him. A long, sharply-finned fish tail replaces the shinigami's lower body, and it thrashes occasionally to keep him in place in the water

Another series of physical changes. Odd, isn't it?

[Yuca is just pleasantly drifting in the water, his legs curled up in front of him. He doesn't really have to worry about being carried away by the tide- there's a little prehensile tail protruding from his tailbone, scaled like a dragon and keeping him securely wrapped around a support beam. The tail works its way up into a series of spikes emerging from his vertebrae, a delicately webbed fin attaching each one. There's also fins on either side of his neck, a set of gills- and his skin looks oddly scaled, with a faint blue-green hue.

Seahorse!Yuca still looks quite bored.]

Not sure if I approve of this or not.

[law_of_reason]

Odd. But it could be worse.

[Notes Yuca's changes without surprise; turning into sea creatures was practically blase by now.]

Yours looks a bit more practical. I had to chain myself to a table to sleep without hitting the ceiling.

[neverquitedies]

It's not bad. I haven't gotten the hang of swimming yet though- and my fin catches on everything.

[A little exasperated, as he reaches behind himself to touch it.]

It's flexible though. Like the angel wings, it's very much a part of my biological system now.

[law_of_reason]

Seahorses aren't known for their swimming abilities. They drift more than anything.

As expected, they're more than simply attached. It's somewhat difficult to vivisect myself from this position- my fins aren't nearly as flexible as yours- but from what I have tested, everything has shifted to adjust to the new form.

[neverquitedies]

Odd.

[There's a long pause.]

I think I'm cold blooded.

[law_of_reason]

Can I test it?

[neverquitedies]

If you like.

[He looks at his tail, before frowning.]

Not sure how I'd get there.

[law_of_reason]

Hm...

[Frowning a bit himself.]

I can come fetch you. I can swim reasonably well.

[neverquitedies]

...are you sure? I'm sorry- it's just a bit difficult to move around like this.

[law_of_reason]

I don't mind. It'll be a chance to look at what the city's become.

[neverquitedies]

Alright. I'll met you at- well. I am at [x,y]

[law_of_reason]

Sure. I'll find you shortly enough.

[neverquitedies]

Thank you for your help.

[law_of_reason]

[Which he does. Though it does take longer than it normally would have. Flash step might've functioned in water, but steering was a problem and hitting walls was... unpleasant at high speed. Regular swimming then.]

I see you're managing, at least.

[neverquitedies]

[He's still there, just... drifting along, his tail curled around the support beam. He hasn't moved much.]

Ah! Hello.

[Yuca smiles when he sees him. Considering that his skin was a ghostly pale blue with a smattering of scales along it, the smile is a little disconcerting.]

I'm doing alright enough.

[law_of_reason]

As much as ever.

[The look was interesting at least, and his attention flickered to the prehensile tail for a moment, before looking back to the rest of him.]

...I can drag you with me, I suppose. If you can avoid getting hit by any of my spikes. [Gestures vaguely towards his tail, the fins on his back.]
