Suddenly Human Meme

The Suddenly Human Meme!

Also known as "Io doesn't know how to do fancy formatting, deal with it." Sorry folks.

Look at your nonhuman muses. What are they? Robots? Gods? Mythical creatures? Aliens? Science experiments gone wrong? Animate chalk drawings? Eldritch abominations from beyond?

Well, none of that matters anymore cause they just done got turned human.

How? Why? I don't know! Maybe it's a magical curse, or science happened, or they died and got reborn, or they just plain woke up that way. You're all creative people! Come up with something cool! Or don't, and let your muses angst about it in the dark, whatever. I know you like to torture them; that's half the fun of memes like this.

So here's how it's going to work:

Nonhuman muses, post top-levels! You are suddenly very human, and mortal. Have fun with that.

Any muse can tag in! Maybe you also got turned human, and misery loves company after all. Maybe you didn't, and are just here to point and laugh in their face. Maybe you're someone who always was human and is just getting dragged into this, or helping the former nonhuman cope.

GO WILD. \o/

Excuse me.

[The speaker is tan woman just shy of middle age, with a... comfortable build, and a few stray feathers and shaggy, brown hair sticking out from under her aviator cap. She's also wearing a trenchcoat that's too long for her, but not quite wide enough to fit comfortably.]

You, monkey boy. Did you see a strange fellow run through with a ray gun? Cackling? Lab coat?

[This is the last time she does one of her friends the 'favor' of checking out mad science tech for them. She'd gotten zapped for her troubles, and wherever this was, it certainly wasn't her city.]

[Available in both canon and Terminal Tokyo flavors!]

(considering his canon, it can be as simple as horribly cooked food that caused it)

[Welp, it's a perfectly normal day at the Mystery Shack. If by "normal" you mean "boring," especially because Stan's taken the kids and Soos to lunch and Wendy's stuck watching the shack. There aren't even any customers right now - there's hardly been anyone all day - so naturally she's up on the roof, busily chucking pine cones at the totem pole.

So. Freaking. Bored. How long does it take to get lunch anyway? At least the twins are pretty cool to hang out with when she's got a dead shift.]

[Up on the Shack's roof, Wendy probably has an excellent view of the surrounding forest... which should also give her a front-row seat for the strange occurrence about to take place.

Suddenly, a massive, bright golden-yellow light shoots down from the sky, as though from another world... or perhaps the very farthest reaches of the universe. It collides with Earth deep within the woods, in a tremendous burst that shakes the trees.

Feeling adventurous, Wendy?
Either way, checking it out - whatever it is that's clearly just made contact with Gravity Falls (and the planet itself) - has to be more interesting than what you're doing now.]

Whoa!

[That sure catches her eye, all right. Probably the eye of everyone within like, a mile, but the shack's closer to whatever that was than the rest of the town. Wendy holds up a hand to shade her eyes, peering in the direction that blast came from, but she can't see anything else from here outside of some birds getting the hell outta Dodge.]

Oh man, I have GOT to see what that was!

[You bet your ass she's tree-jumping her way down and heading in the direction the light hit, all responsibilities as shack cashier forgotten.]

[The further Wendy goes into the woods, the more it becomes clear the birds weren't the only ones that fled. She doesn't come across any other forest critters along the way, it seems they were all similarly scared off.

Finally, she should reach a clearing, one possibly having been created by the mysterious collision, where something...
No, someone, lies in the center.

It's an adult man, tall, lanky, but broad-shouldered, with tanned skin, short dark brown hair and a goatee-beard. His eyes are closed; it looks like he's unconscious... and also, not wearing any clothes.

This might not have been what Wendy was expecting to find.]

[Um. No. No it isn't. Well, she wasn't sure WHAT she was expecting to find, but "unconscious naked dude" wasn't really something at the forefront of her mind.]

Aw, geez...

[She steps back for a moment, looking around... yeah, no one else is coming, are they. Welp. First thing she does is shed her flannel shirt, stepping into the center of the clearing to drape it over the man. Good thing she always wears a tank top underneath!

...Wow, the grass and underbrush in the clearing is all blasted outwards. Just what IS this guy? Honestly, with the giant beam of golden light from the sky and all, the first thing popping into her head is "fallen angel." But she's a bit too cynical - and Gravity Falls has been a bit too weird lately - to honestly think that's the case.

Wendy chews on her lip as she crouches down by him, reaching over to shake his shoulder.]

Okay dude, there's no way I'm carrying you outta here. You alive, or what?

Edited 2014-08-20 02:10 (UTC)

["Space alien" would likely be another guess from a person having found someone who just fell from the sky, but with all of Gravity Falls's signature weirdness, a fallen angel might actually not be out of the question either. Although that isn't the case for this particular instance, even if Wendy doesn't know it yet. ~~Also really, Wendy? "You alive, or what?" Weren't you trained as a lifeguard at one point?~~]

Nggh...

[Oh hey, he made a sound! That's a good sign, right? The man begins to stir slightly as he starts to slowly open his eyes...
Or eye, rather. For some reason, only one eye is opening. Once he sees Wendy, in a somewhat dizzy but still clear enough single-eyed view, he mutters something else.]

Ice... Pack...?

Hit your head or somethin'? I'll get you one if you come back to the shack with me.

[And of course she totally misinterprets that, but wouldn't anyone?]

I mean, you only like, fell out of the sky in a beam of light, which was TOTALLY awesome, by the way. I'm surprised you're not, you know, gross mush or something.

... What? Fell out of the sky in a--

[Excuse him while he places a hand on his forehead and tries to put together... basically everything right now. His other eye still isn't opening, and it doesn't seem like it's going to anytime soon. After a couple of seconds he glances down, and it finally hits him that except for Wendy's flannel shirt covering him, he's completely naked. Cue some seriously flustered blushing.
Does that mean she found him--
Aw cripes... and she's only 15! Yeesh, talk about awkward.

But okay, let's try to focus here. He remembers what he was doing, where he was last. How could he forgot? He was being given the opportunity to receive true ultimate knowledge, to learn the one thing he could supposedly never know... at least, not without a price, according to a very wise and powerful friend. Maybe even more powerful than him. Maybe.
Still, he accepted. No matter the cost he had to have it, the one piece of knowledge that would allow him to finally, truly know everything...
And then, darkness. Next thing he knows he's suddenly in the forest of Gravity Falls, in the physical world, in an actual flesh-and-blood form... a human body.

For the first time in... well, probably forever, he has absolutely no idea what's going on.]

Um... did you say we're near the Shack?

[Wendy notices that blushing and stifles - okay, she doesn't make MUCH of an effort in the stifling, but - a small, somewhat awkward snicker. Yeeeeeeeeah. She didn't see anything, she swears.]

Yeah, sure, it's a ways that way. Can you walk, dude? You can, uh, keep the shirt.

Just promise me you're not some crazy monster who's gonna try to kill us all or something.

[SHE'S JUST MAKING SURE, OKAY. After, you know, that whole shapeshifter thing. Not that that wasn't a TOTALLY AMAZING experience, but she hasn't gone anywhere without her axe since. With her shirt off, it's now totally visible hooked into the back of her belt, too.]

[Carefully he tries to stand up, making sure Wendy's shirt is wrapped around his waist and properly covering him as he does, in order to avoid any more awkward moments. Luckily he's able to easily get on his feet, and overall he actually feels fine, only less... ethereal, than usual. He places a hand to the left side of his chest.
A heartbeat...
That's new.]

Yeah, looks like I can. Uh, thanks, I guess!

[Thanks to Wendy's request, Bill finds himself letting out a laugh as well. He looks at the axe-carrying girl with a small smirk.]

Haha, I'm not a monster! Promise!

[Technically, he's not lying.
After all, right now he's somehow a human being, just like her.
As for why, that's... something he's going to continue to try and figure out. It was bizarre, actually not knowing what's happening, perhaps even a little frightening, though he hides his anxiety from the uncertainty quite well. Especially since what concerns him most is if this situation has any chance of being permanent...
No, of course not. There's no way that's possible. Not for someone like him.
He's certain everything's fine, and just like always, he never has anything to fear. So for now, why not play along? Who knows, it might even be fun~]

All right, cool! C'mon, it's this way.

[She waves him back the way she came, towards the Shack.]

So, do mysterious meteor men have names? I'm Wendy, by the way.

[And she's totally not stealing glances at him now that the shirt is safely secured. Nope, not at all.

...

Okay maybe a little. But come on, even though he's clearly older than her, he IS pretty cute. And mostly naked. And she IS a teenager whose last relationship went foul, cut her a break.]

[Oh, current lack of omniscience or not he definitely notices her checking him out. As a result he starts blushing (another new but interesting experience, what with the lack of blood before) again as he follows her, but with that slight smirk still on his face. True, she's 15, but he doesn't mind if all she's doing is looking. This was actually a form he'd taken many times before in the dreamscape, one he'd specially chose for himself when he wanted to appear human for whatever reason, which made him highly fond of it. Besides, after how things with Robbie went (which he knows all about), she deserves at least some glances.]

Name's Bill! Nice to meet you!

[Of course, he already knows her name, but this is the first time they've officially met. And he's alright with telling her his, since he also knows the Pines twins have yet to tell her about the incident in their great uncle's mind.]

I've been to the Mystery Shack before, I've seen you working there!

[Although, he anticipates now with going again, this time in the waking realm, most likely running into Dipper and Mabel again very soon.
Well... that'll be interesting, now won't it?]

Really? Huh, I've never noticed you around before.

[And she thinks she would've noticed someone like him. Hm. Maybe it was during one of the exceptionally busy days when they had like a kajillion tourists coming through? Or maybe he meant he'd been spying on them from his alien mothership; she wasn't really ruling anything out at this point.

In any case, it isn't long before they arrive back at the shack. Wendy peeks inside cautiously, but the others still aren't back yet, and yeah, it's still dead. She waves Bill inside.]

C'mon, we gotta get you some threads! Now let's see...

[She immediately grabs a t-shirt at random from one of the shop's racks, but it's not like pants are a popular gift shop item. Frowning, she tosses the shirt at him anyway - it MIGHT, by COMPLETE AND UTTER COINCIDENCE, be a yellow shirt with that triangle-and-eye emblem that crops up all over Gravity Falls for SOME REASON on it.]

Hey, wait RIGHT HERE, I'm gonna get something.

[And off she goes... returning with an old pair of Stan's pants.]

Yeah, Mr. Pines is gonna hate me for this, but who cares, man. See if these fit! Bathroom's over there.
