Time is a Valuable Thing (Open)

[Drake]

Drake could appreciate the choice of bull as a battle morph. It was a lot like a bison in many ways. Both were big muscular bovines with nasty horns and a vicious charge. A bear, on the other hand, Drake wasn't so sure about. He had never considered what it would be like to fight as a bear. Pretty cool, he would imagine.

"I think I will stick with bison, myself. But a bear would be an interesting experiment. I imagine they would be better at turning around at least." Drake shrugged, unsure of where to take the conversation next. Since they were on the topic of morphing, he decided to bring it back to the training.

"When I walked in you said you were doing some speed morphing, right? Mind if I join you? I still have a couple morphs that could use some practice."

[Richard]

Richard was sure a bear would be a really good experiment, but he wasn't sure if it was a good fit with him. A bear was known to go on a rampage when it had the right motive, and Richard already had a bad sort of temper as it was. It might not be wise to tempt fate by putting the two of them together like that.

Drake had said brought up the training that Richard had been talking about earlier in their conversation, and whether or not he could join him in doing so. Richard didn't mind the idea of watching a professional try his hand at the task that he had put on himself, so he figured that it was okay. It would also be interesting to see what Drake would morph into.

"I am cool with you practicing some of your morphs. It would probably do me some good to see someone else try their hand at this little exercise anyway."

[Drake]

"Alright, I'll give it a try then." Drake walked to the center of the room and prepared himself. "So I the idea is to complete my morph as quickly as possible." He said it to himself more than anyone. Now he just had to decide on a morph. He had about a dozen, so it was hard to decide on one, but he eventually settled on a form he had scarcely used.

"Time me. I'm starting... now."

Drake closed his eyes and concentrated as hard as he could. Almost immediately he began to shrink. His ears moved up the side of his head, his mouth elongated, tan fur sprouted all over his body, and his hands were turning into hooves. Soon his bones and organs were realigning and his entire body shape was shifting. Last but not least, two long and spiraled antlers grew out of the top of his skull. He was now a gazelle.

<<How did I do? I haven't done this morph often. Did I make it in under two and a half?>>
