There was something oddly soothing about walking through a store like this. Beastboy had been crashing people's Sensorium sessions for fun and found this peculiar little fantasy world finding it peaceful and relaxing. Somehow even more so then the sensorium he had just left full of fluffy clouds.

Stretching his arms out over his head he sighed and tucked his hands behind his head casually roaming the aisles. Yep, nothing to see here, just a point eared green goblin looking kid examining the imaginary comic books on the spinner rack in the magazine department.

The magazine department, while not Ash's department, was one he frequented and loitered around in when he wanted to look like he was busy being busy. Those habits died hard, though he found he was not alone here.

Wh...

A green kid. A green kid with pointy ears. A green kid with pointy ears checking out the comics he kind of wanted to look at. He admittedly looked kind of familiar but couldn't pinpoint it exactly.

"You need help with something, kid?"

[changelingdude]

Beastboy jumped startled from his reading and fumbled the comic book barely managing to catch it and grinning sheepishly set it back on the rack carefully.

"Uh...sup dude? This your store?" A silly question but it was the first thing that came to mind.

[hates_deadites]

Jumpy kid. Maybe he was thinking of swiping it.

"Yeah. You're in S-Mart. And, no offense pal, but you look like you belong more in one of these," Ash leaned over and adjusted the comic he so carefully put back--call it store clerk OCD. "...than in a store. What's your name?"

He wasn't a huge comic book nerd--He was more a college kid TV, beer and football guy, but he knew the basics.

Please don't say Green Goblin.

"Dude you think so?" He beamed, seeming to take the comment about belonging in a comic book as a compliment. "Thanks!" He grinned broadly.

"The name's Beastboy!" He proclaimed proudly

[hates_deadites]

A grin, Ash noted, that seemed to contain a couple of pointy beast-like canines.

"Why'er you green?"

[changelingdude]

"Oh that's actually a great story!" Beastboy explained grabbing another comic off the rack and opening it up, inside the images were moving and portraying the story as he told it.

"See once upon a time I was a normal kid with these two really smart parents, they were studying genetics in Africa right? And I got bitten by a green monkey!"

"Turns out the monkey had this rare disease called Sakutia, it turns animals grin and is deadly to humans. The only way my parents could save me was to alter my genes, find that missing link between man and beast!"

And in the comics...a little green kid toddled out of their hut.

"Pretty cool huh? And a great color. Plus ladies love the ears." He wiggled them for effect.

[hates_deadites]

Very quickly, Ash realized the limits of his creativity in the sensorium as Beastboy gave his story a little flair. Green monkey? Sakutia?... how weird. Ash might of dismissed such a crazy tale once upon a time, but he knew all too well what it was like to have crazy, unbelievable tales. Much less that seemed like a common theme up here in space.

"At least you're pretty positive about it. I guess being called a freak of nature ain't really much of a problem when half the crew here are aliens or dragons or mute girls with brain damage."

A pause, then he muttered in a lowered voice as an afterthought, "You aren't uh... contagious or anything still, are you?"

He'd be willing to argue the ears but then again Ash equated pointy ears to elves and he could see girls going nuts over those. Maybe Beastboy was on to something...

[changelingdude]

Beastboy laughed, "Dude, I don't think anyone's ever called me a freak of nature. But it might help that I can do this."

And he suddenly shifted forms turning into a T-rex grinning down at Ash with his razor sharp dagger teeth.

[hates_deadites]

Unbelievable! What a freak of nature! Ash had seen a lot of strange things but never anything like this. Any lesser man might of crapped themselves at the sigh of a living, breathing dinosaur (green as it was) grinning at them, but no sir, not Ash.

Okay he might of flinched, but soon apprehension turned into curiosity. He took a step back so he could get a better look at the creature at whole.

"So you can turn into anything?"

[changelingdude]

Beastboy shifted back in a blur of green with a smug smirk on his face.

"Well any animal, and some aliens. And yes I do take requests if you're interested." He offered loving to show off his powers.
