[/Center] [hr] Mirage thought he'd gone blind, but soon enough his vision came back as the whole lightshow shtick with the Spirit stopped. He blinked away the odd feeling rocking his mind, as he observed his surroundings and noticed they were... Off. Specifically when he looked at Link. The man in blue had been shorter than him moments ago, but suddenly he was inches taller. And as he shot his view around the vessel, he noticed the height of everything around him seemed to change. A part of him wanted to be a dunce and assume everything got bigger, but no... As he looked down, and noticed himself closer to the deck than before, it was obvious the Spirit had made him smaller. [color=DEBA42]"So much for being tall [i]and[/i] handsome..."[/color] He complained, observing his body and noting the paler complexion, too. He looked like a total shut-in, that was embarrassing. He worked hard to keep his skin nice, and now look at him! Pasty white. Like some sort of vampire. And his duds! The attire change was dark and kind of edgy, went with the pale skin at least, but his goggles were what caught his attention. It was like some sort of armored piece now, that'd protect him from some head trauma! But by the look of it, it was still wearable over his eyes. He slid them down, noting if he decided to keep them on, they'd hamper his wider vision a bit. But nothing was getting past this and into his eyes! [color=DEBA42]"This whole height thing's a bummer, but these new goggles are pretty dope!"[/color] He said enthusiastically, trying to find a bright side in this mild mess he'd brought himself into. He also took note of his mental state; He didn't feel different, per se, but he wasn't as scared of the water as he was before. Link must've been right about the swimming capabilities of the Spirit. Though to what extent he could swim, he wasn't sure. He wasn't terribly keen on finding out what exactly his own capabilities were with the waters so full of danger. [color=DEBA42]"If... A pit was bottomless, wouldn't there just be a hole in the planet?"[/color] Mirage released a thought at Nadia and Peach's discussion, as he continued to fiddle around with his new apparel. Mirage spent a little time trying to adjust to his surprisingly stubby new body, doing some jumps and stretches to see it was just as well-built as before, just smaller. What were the odds of him pulling that little devil out of Link's small collection? Yikes, he wasn't sure if he liked this change but if it increased his chances of surviving, then he'd take it. That big unicorn-man, Geralt, he must've done something like this too. Link made it clear he did as well-- And he bet King Bowser didn't look how he did without something like this happening to him, too. So obviously it wasn't as weird in their situation, right? He needed to adapt to folks like these if he was going to make any strides, that was for sure! But at the same time... He sure hoped people didn't start joking about this. Mirage had mostly been focusing on himself up until a presence appeared in the distance; Figures, large ones, in the water. Mirage approached the railing, which he felt a lot shorter next to than before, and looked out. He squinted his eyes as if to get a better view from it, and almost fell over backwards as his vision suddenly shifted. Regaining his composure, he looked back out to sea and could see the situation more clearly. More... Closely. Blinking, he pulled up the armored plate and noticed his vision return to normal, before putting it back over his eyes and seeing the zoomed vision. This thing had utility [i]and[/i] offered protection? He wasn't going to pass up on that. [color=DEBA42]"What the [i]hell[/i][ is that?!"[/color] He exclaimed, looking at the large purple sea monster. His eyes shot to the second one, noting they were fighting. Which in his opinion was a relief, because they both looked dangerous at hell. He backed away from the railing, pulling his armored goggles back atop his forehead so he wouldn't have as much detail for the big purple guy getting his fat chewed off. It was a gruesome fight, the gore was attracting the sharks, if those things came over here they'd all die! And-- [center][b]"The big one. It....it has moobs…”[/b][/center] Mirage was losing his shit instantly, joining Nadia's amusement. His arms wrapped around his gut as he noticed that the purple sea monster indeed had moobs, laughing as it drained away the seriousness for a moment as he watched on as the two monsters fought. [color=DEBA42]"Ahah, oh man, if those eels aim high enough that's gonna be one hell of a nipple-cripple."[/color] He remarked, tears almost forming in his eyes as he watched on, completely losing his train of thought from a moment ago. Probably for the better thanks to a purr-fectly timed comment. Unfortunately, this also distracted Mirage enough for Blazermate to pinch one of his grenades, the man snapping out of his laughter as he looked towards the robot with confusion. [color=DEBA42]"Hey, hey! what're you doing with that?"[/color] He questioned, quickly following after her with a mixture of concern and curiosity. His eyes shot open as she shoved it into one of her undead minions, Mirage hearing the grenade's sound of being armed. [color=DEBA42]"Uh, shoo! Go, zombie-ship thing, go!"[/color] He urged, about ready to punt the damn thing off the boat but it seemed to go on it's own. He stood beside Blazermate, watching the zombie attract the sharks as it lead them, and itself, to an inevitable death. The explosion was forceful, turning the zombie into a rain of bits and pieces that littered the waters and sent a large electric shock through the surrounding water, and the sharks that had followed what they thought was a free meal. [color=DEBA42]"Fair thee well, zamboni."[/color] He said, offering a half-assed salute to the falling bits of Abyssal. He dropped his hand and found himself laughing a little at Blazermate's enthusiasm over the whole thing. [color=DEBA42]"Not a bad move at all, I guess between the carnival tricks and becoming undead bomb vests these zombies ain't have bad."[/color] He complimented, though he wasn't about to start offering these corpses high-fives, or nothing. He was just lucky to have avoided the splash zone, unlike Ace Cadet over there. Eugh. This robo-chick was pretty quick to focus on her next task, though. She went from laughing at zombie confetti to focusing on the moob monster very fast, and he saw something that left him utterly speechless: She summoned some guy out of [i]thin air.[/i] Not only did she do that, but [i]he[/i] was seemingly beating the hell out of some toolboxes with a wrench, which was somehow constructing whatever was inside them. What in the world? As a man of the engineering trade himself, this was incredible! But the concept of it was beyond him. He thought about questioning the summoned individual, but he ended up pulled from that as he noticed some sort of... Beam, Blazermate was shooting at him now. He winced and took a step back, though after a few seconds she seemed to go and shoot it at other members of the crew, as well. Nobody seemed to be treating it as weird or harmful, and he felt pretty good himself, at the moment. What was [i]that?![/i] She was just full of surprises! But they were pleasant ones that seemed to help, so in exchange for the empowering beam, he offered her a thumbs up with a grin on his pale face.
