[They spliced her. They kidnapped her and they spliced her. Sure, giving her wings when she arrived is one thing, but she didn't volunteer to be taken away so they could give her scales, fangs, mess with her eyes and get rid of her hair. She can't be out like this - she needs to get back into her apartment, and... stay there until she changes back. Or until she can figure out some other kind of solution.

Melanie's lucky it's dark out, or else it would be a hell of a lot harder to try and sneak back home - and she's lucky that she still has her legs, too. It would be pretty difficult to miss a human-sized thing slithering around in the middle of the night, after all. Of course, there's no real way of knowing for sure if she'll manage to get back without being seen, but damn it, she'll try.]

[Later, when she's back home:]

It's Melanie. Sorry for being away, but the sudden absence wasn't exactly my idea.

Either way, I'm back now, so I guess that's what matters. Did I miss anything interesting?

[OOC: Melanie's back from her mallynapping! And she's been spliced with a black mamba, HOORAY. She'll be looking pretty different from usual (apologies, my editing skills seem to be pretty crummy these days), and she may start acting a bit different since splicing changes both appearance and personality, so uh. Yeah. Just a head's up! |D]

[He takes her hand in his, still nothing the weird texture of her hands now, but putting that out of thought and mind.]

Actually... cool and tasty would be cool. I could totally go for some nachos right now.

[... She doesn't actually have teeth for chewing right now, and if she had to eat anything she'd probably have to swallow it all whole. Plus, unhinging her jaw in front of Kurt would be kind of awkward. Still, that doesn't mean she can't do anything about it.]

Works for me. I could use a drink, anyway. [There, that works. 8|]

[He'd politely look away! Or they could just something that would go down easy.]

Milkshakes, maybe? I bet they have them around here somewhere.

[As long as it isn't super solid or big, she could handle it.

But milkshakes work, too.]

Milkshakes sound like a good idea. Let's do it.

I think I know just the place!

[Hand in hand, he'll lead her there. Once they have their milkshakes ordered, they can carry on again, business as usual.]

[That works just fine for Melanie - she's got something she doesn't have to unhinge her jaw for, so it's all good.

Either way, even just walking around the area with Kurt is enjoyable. Although the circumstances leading up to it weren't exactly favourable, as far as first dates go? This one rates pretty high.]

You know, when I got back I just thought I'd have to stay in my apartment until I changed back. [However long that would last. Either way, it's not exactly practical.]

I'm glad I found a better way to spend my time. [Along with someone to spend it with.]

[This is probably his weirdest first date ever, but it's the only date he's ever been on where he's just been himself, with no hiding behind a holo watch. It's kind of nice.]

Yeah... I'm glad you decided to come out here. It's been great. You've been great.

You've been great, too, Kurt. This has been really fun. [Which is something she's been needing, honestly. She's been with plenty of people and gone on her fair share of dates, but the last time she felt this good was the first time she went out with Terry. So, this is pretty special.]

That's just because I know how to have fun. Next time, we hit up the Dome, then we'll really have fun. [Well, this is fun, but he set up anything for them there.]

[Next time... she likes the sound of that.]

Hopefully I won't be as scaly next time. [Because the shorter this effect is, the better.]

I think a little less scales would be cool, yeah. [Before he can say anything else, suddenly a shot fires off and a firework explodes in the sky.]

[Melanie says nothing and looks up at the sky as those fireworks start going off.

Watching fireworks... definitely a nice way to end a date.]
