[ooc: And here we have The Tiger of the Chinese Zodiac. He communicates by telepathy (even though it will appear as dialogue), and don't worry - he's not going to eat you!]
Outside, a tiger comes bounding down the mountainside, through the forest and stops, rather abruptly, at the lake.
With a tilt of his head, he leans back on his haunches and ( Read more... )

The first thing she thinks is that the tiger must be a Bengal. The second and third things that flits across her mind are where did this magnificient beast come from? and ohmigosh, how beautiful.
"Who's a pretty kitty? Who's a pretty kitty, hmmm? Who's a pretty kitty?"

"I am not a kitty," he informs her, although he can't help but look amused.

"Sure you are. Felidae, correct? Also, I taste terrible, Mr. Tigger."
He's literally one of the most beautiful things she's ever seen. Jen's wondering if the High Evolutionary is somehow involved in the making of a telepathic tiger.

He eyes her, head tilting just a little.
"You are green."

She's having to restrain herself from smiling idiotically and petting that glorious coat of his. It looks so soft and shiny. And she has questions, questions, questions, but he's a talking tiger, so all in good time.
"Yes, I am green. Lots of spinach, wheat grass juice, and a blood transfusion. My blood is even green, in this form."

"Food made you change colors?"
He looks fearfully at his own stripes.

What is the proper etiquette for inviting a tiger to join you? Would you like a big pillow, kitty?
"I'm green because I was subjected to intense gamma radiation years ago. It's a mutagenic form of radiation that changed me to something a little more than 'regular person,' " she adds, by way of partial explanation.

He tilts his head.
"Oh. I'm... sorry?"
He's not sure what to say to such a thing, as he doesn't know what gamma radiation is.

She realizes a second later that yes, it's conceivable that he could be puzzled by the concept of gamma radiation.
"Nothing to be sorry for, kitt-...Tiger. Being green has done me a world of good. Let me explain it this way: a family member gave me some of his blood, and that is how I changed to the beauteuous emerald creature you see before you. This family member had blood that had been altered with gamma rays, which are a kind of light with special...things in it."
She does smile now, because on top of being beautiful, he's also dangerously cute, and she wants to tickle his whiskers.
If Jen ever adopted a kitten, she'd likely never get any work done ever again.

"Well then, there's nothing wrong with being special, and you are a very beautiful creature. Green, like the Earth that sustains all life."
Beautiful, cute, and charming! Oh, if only he were a man.
Reply
"Sustaining life. I'd never quite thought of it that way..."
She looks at his eyes for a moment.
"Where do you come from, Tiger?"
Reply
Look at those big, tigery, innocent eyes!

Because maybe tigers haven't gotten to nomenclature yet?
