Stepping out into the world [closed and bendy-timed to before the training post]

[not_to_be_eaten]

Tony Tony Chopper was rarely seen by the members of Stacy's crew since he first pod-popped. But that was for good reason. You see, after seeing what the Med Bay had in store, there was so much he had come across for the first time. So he spent most of his time in the seldom used areas of the Med Bay noting down equipment and drugs and then running

"I-I'm Tony Tony Chopper!" Oh my! She acknowledge him as a doctor! He was shifting strangely from behind the door, obviously happy by his tone.

"Who are you??"

[doctor_jeangrey]

She smiled in his direction again. Seemed that maybe he was getting a little less nervous. "Well it's nice to meet you, Doctor Chopper. I'm Doctor Jean Grey, but you can call me Jean if you want to."

[not_to_be_eaten]

That brought Chopper out of hiding and in full view. He was about the size of a halfling and had hooves for hands and feet.



"N-Nice to meet you too Jean!" She did seem nice to Chopper. He was starting to feel that he could trust her. "Is there anything for me to do here? I-I just finished studying up on some of the equipment here!"

[doctor_jeangrey]

"Well there's always something to do," Jean admitted. "But at the moment, it's sort of quiet. I was just sorting through the crews medical records. If you want to help with that, I'd be grateful."

[not_to_be_eaten]

"Okay!" Chopper nodded eagerly. It was good knowing what kind of medical conditions were to be exptected from the crew.



But before he got started, there was a nagging question that he had to ask her. "... Aren't you scared of me?"

[doctor_jeangrey]

She looked over at him with furrowed eyebrows. "No.... Should I be?" she asked as she handed him a stack of medical padds. "You're not going to try to eat me or anything, are you?"

[not_to_be_eaten]

"I'm a talking reindeer with a blue nose!" Talk about unexpected outburst. "Aren't I a monster to you?" For added effect, Chopper's limbs began to grow out and his body grew bigger as he transformed into his Yeti human form. Despite the change in appearance his voice was still high pitched and unchanged, and the bottom part of his nose remained blue.

[doctor_jeangrey]

Jean's eyebrows shot up as she watched Chopper transform. Though really, he wasn't the strangest creature she'd seen before. Between her world and the ship? She'd seen way more frightening things.

"No," she told him simply. "Just because you look different doesn't make you a monster. I know a man back in my world who is covered in blue fur, a lady who's covered in blue scales. A boy with a snake tongue. They're not monsters, they're just different."

She smiled and took a seat on one of the stools. "I'm different too, Doctor Chopper. You already found out that I can read minds. But I can do more than that. I can move things with my mind, does that make me a monster?"

[not_to_be_eaten]

"Really!? You know blue people and they don't scare you??" Chopper was surprised to hear such a thing! Yet at the same time, he was relieved. He shrunk back into his Brain Point form. Even before he ate the human-human fruit, none of his reindeer herd wanted anything to do with him because he had a blue nose. It was something he needed to hear from one of Stacy's crew-- "YOU CAN READ MINDS AND MOVE THINGS WITH YOUR THOUGHTS!!?"



Yes, he had suspected that she could read minds but that was all in his head. Hearing her say that she could do it another thing entirely. He was scared, excited and in awe at the same time.

[doctor_jeangrey]

"Like I said, they're not monsters - merely different," Jean repeated, her tone calm and assuring as she began to read through the medical padd in her had. Her gaze did lift when he all but yelled at her. She set the padd to the side and folded her hands in her lap.

"And you can change into a rather large creature. Did you see me yell?" She asked, her expression one of pure curiousity. "And yes I can. Would you like to see?"

[not_to_be_eaten]

Now he was just excited! Chopper still hadn't learnt the fine art of subtlety and it was obvious to anyone that he was only focused on her power. "YES! YES! YES!!"

At the end of the day, Chopper was still a 15 year old reindeer who had only been human for at least 7 years.

[doctor_jeangrey]

Jean smiled and nodded her head. Her gaze flickered to the stool he was standing by and she stared at it for not even a second and it began to rise up into the air. As she lifted her gaze toward the ceiling, the stool too began to rise up.

"I don't actually use this power all that much," she told him as the stool began to lower back down toward the ground.

[not_to_be_eaten]

That display of power blew Chopper's mind. SHE'S SOOOO COOOOOOL!!! "THAT'S SO COOOOOOOL!!!! DO IT AGAIN! DO IT AGAIN!" He definitely did not expect the chair to fly. "CAN YOU MAKE ME FLY TOO!?"

[doctor_jeangrey]

Jean sighed but offered Chopper a patient smile as the stool settled back in it's former place. "I'll make you fly one time, and then it's back to work, OK?"

[not_to_be_eaten]

"REALLY!?!? YES PLEASE! YES PLEASE! I'LL START WORK AFTER THIS!!" Chopper was so excited his head could have exploded.

[doctor_jeangrey]

Jean nodded and then took a deep breath, focusing solely on the overly excited Chopper. She had to be careful while doing this, as she really didn't want to send him flying through a wall. That wouldn't be good, at all.

She felt a slight pressure behind her eyes as he began to slowly rise up, and she made herself focus even more so he rose up a little faster. Before long he was hovering there and with a slight smile, Jean sent him flying around the room in a large circle.
