A swift breeze off the ocean chilled Alexis to the bone. It was only now he noticed what he was wearing, having been too preoccupied with the changes to his body while looking in the mirror. The wind caused the the hospital gown to flutter around his legs wildly, something he was not happy about. A quick check revealed the gown was still unfastened in the back, exposing the segmented shell that had covered his skin, shaped perfectly over his back like a skin tight shirt, for all to see. Alexis couldn't notice from his perspective, though the light from the sun was reflecting off his shell, casting shines of green at his shoulders and transitioning through all the shades between emerald green and royal blue as it went down his back, ending just above his bare ass. Alexis tied the back of the gown closed as fast as he could, though as he turned to check behind himself, he noticed a few others had already exited the building after him.

[Color=ff1493][i]Let's  see. We've got a bird, a monkey, a dolphin,[/i][/color] Alexis rattled the list off in his mind, [color=ff1493][i]And they all probably just saw my ass. Amazing. Just how I wanted to start my day.[/i][/color] He turned on his heel to face the others and gave his best (albeit awkward) smile.

[Color=ff1493]"Terribly sorry to expose the lot of you to that,"[/color] his voice was on the deeper side of the female range, husky one might say, smokey sometimes as well. It didn't bother him much, as things could have been much worse if his voice was high pitched. [Color=ff1493]"I guess I should introduce myself. You can all call me Alex. I heard there were others that had similar results to my own. Mantis shrimp, if you couldn't tell. But hey, kickass shell, right?"[/color]

Alexis looked over the ocean again as he touched the first two fingers on his right hand to his gills. He wanted to put his new mutations to the test in the water, where his animal hailed from. [Color=ff1493]"So, uhhhm, who else wants to test their new abilities? I almost punched a wall down back in that building, and I wasn't even trying. Or should we maybe wait to see if there were any others in there?"[/color]
