  "description": "[i]Our girl night was going to be a smash, we told ourselves. We made it up on the fly as we looked at all the fun things to do. We'd go roller skating in the roller rink first, have ice cream sundaes at the malt shop and then end it at the dance that night. We were all booked in preparation for it. Karen-Chan was keeping the boys busy with some work sending out kinship stones to customers or won them by \"raffle prizes\". That was supposed to be her job--she'd gotten a notice from her employers about it. But she cleverly pawned the work over to Tofu-Kun and Zwei-Kun. She was such a clever Nargacuga Girl.\n\nGranted our time on the roller rink wasn't the best. Our talons weren't the best suited for human roller skates and so it was a little awkward. When I nearly slipped, Karen-Chan decided that was enough excitement for me. Couldn't risk hurting myself like that. Or Tazkol-Chan for that matter. She was starting to show signs of early pregnancy.\n\nSo we skipped over to my favorite part of our Girl Night. Malt Ice Cream Sundaes. You know, the oddest thing is I felt like it was my first time ever having one, but that was strange. I remembered having them before many years ago at a life that wasn't my own anymore. It seemed so distant and that human boy was becoming such a distant memory.\n\n\"That's exactly it,\" Karen-Chan explained between a spoonful of whipped cream and chocolate. \"The memories stored in the Kinship Stone are muddling with your own. You forget things just as they come back to you in your mose lucid moments. It's normal. You get used to them after a while.\"\n\nMy ear fins sank slightly in discomfort. I didn't know how I felt about who I was disappearing. Yet I couldn't bring myself to care--I was [b]happy[/b] now. I didn't remember being so happy before. And having licked a bit of whipped cream foam off my lip before wiping the rest with a napkin, I wondered if this was going to be fattening for me. A tinge of guilt came to me, wondering what Tofu-Kun would think of my figure. Maybe he would appreciate some extra weight...\n\nSomething tapped against my stomach line. I rubbed my hand against my belly. Karen-Chan watched me anxiously until the third monsterkin girl among us got her attention.\n\n\"What about you?\" Tazkol-Chan asked, loudly slurping the chocolate syrup off her talons. \"Do you have any memories of your past life?\"\n\n\"I...\" Karen-Chan clicked her beak, looking at the floor and then back at Tazkol-Chan again. \"Well, it's not like I can just willfully remember who I was. They come and go. A lot of who I was doesn't matter. I know I am Karen, I'm an employee of a deeply secretive branch of Capcom, and I help to make others like me. I recall something about working for them once in another development team...or was I a custodian? Ah, it doesn't matter, though.\"\n\n\"Well what about what got you to be you now?\" Tazkol-Chan. I shifted uncomfortably. I wasn't sure Karen-Chan was used to being questioned like this to who were just any other customer. Karen-Chan, however, didn't show annoyance or unease. \"You know, so cold and distant off the clock? I don't mean now. I mean back there. I have...well, had personal drama in my life. So what's your excuse?\"\n\nKaren-Chan gaped at her, stunned at her straightfowardness. Or maybe she was looking past her, in a vacuous attempt to grasp at what Tazkol-Chan meant. Carefully, I shifted my handtalon and squeezed the Magnamalo Girl's own.\n\n\"Tazkol-chan, I don't think it's polite to--\" I began softly, then Karen-Chan spoke clearly.\n\n\"There was a special someone in my life. I remember.\" Karen-Chan began softly. Our heads both turned in perfect synch. Neither of us spoke. Her tone was one that demanded attention. \"I don't remember his real name. He never used it. But he called himself :iconSharkByte_aka_Mollusk:.\"\n\n\"Did he go by Sharkbyte or Mollusk? Or was it both?\" Tazkol-Chan asked.\n\n\"He preffered the first name, I think,\" Karen-Chan's beak pulled back into a warm smile. \"He was special. My first ever customer. I only knew him for less than an hour but he had charm. And his smell was...pleasant. Not an ammonia smell or something richly alcohol and incense. It was, something else. His clothes had a beach aesthetic to it. A salt smell--he smelled like the sea. There had been an ocean nearby. Not this dry desert landscape. It reminds me of something I can't remember now. My day before I left my old family, maybe.\"\n\nShe stirred her ice cream. I quietly listened as I began licking the softened banana slices. Tazkol-Chan was gnawing on her next maraschimo cherry. She had ordered a whole jar of them, their reddened plant ends on a plate to be discarded. Couldn't be bothered to decorate them on her dessert. Karen-Chan continued.\n\n\"We talked a little about a few things as I gave him his kinship stone. He was happy before. He was kind. I know he said I was beautiful, even with my silly kokoto cosplay. Then he put that stone around his neck, and his eyes sparked with that dragonblight haze. He gazed at me with an almost hurt glance. My heart had sunk. Then his lips pulled back into an uncanny animal grin of sharpened keratin. and as his beak pushed out of his soft human skin he roared as he began tearing away at his clothes and dead tissue. I watch as his wings ruptured his beautiful shirt, his tail tearing his shorts, the erupting dragonblight burning away his skin, his smell, all that that human boy was.\n\nThe room he was in was demolished, utterly. He was no longer human but a regal, glorious Valstrax Monsterkin. He was not even that boy then by persona. Or maybe there was some part of him still in there, somewhere. He took off like a shot out of the convention building, soaring in the sky like a streaking red comet, his roars echoing in the sky. He would come back later in that same spot as I was passing by, and after the clean up crew had repaired the damage. He would make love to me, giving me thanks for awakening him. I had oved him. I had his child. They are both waiting for me on the other side. His home.\"\n\nHer voice, that had been so feverish nostalgic, was turning sour. It seemed to be a treasured memory, I thought, but something about how she said she had loved him sounded so bittersweet. I licked the bottom of my melted ice cream. \"You mean your home too, don't you? That sounds very sweet by the way, how he swept you off your feet. He loves you for it.\"\n\n\"No. The Valstrax Monsterkin does and whatever traces of a person was in that stone loves me. That was not the boy. Not anymore.\" Karen-Chan swallowed hard. \"Everything he was had been taken from him in an instant. That final look before the change took hold was betrayal. I can't unthink it. I never got to tell him how i felt in that short time we knew each other. I never thought...he would change so much.\"\n\nThere was an awkward silence then. So much emotion was unpacked for us to process. I couldn't think of what to say, what to offer that could comfort our fellow monsterkin girl. I never knew how much it could hurt to lose someone's identity to the kinship stone. Was I myself truly content or was it the stone slowly taking away my humanity, taking away that human boy from my mind before it was only a dream?\n\n\"No.\" Tazkol-chan finally spoke, squeezing Karen-Chan's handtalon in comfort. \"This is not death. This is only change. Change is nothing to fear. We are not going to disappear as we were. We're evolving. Always. It doesn't matter if these are our memories or someone else's. We are us. And your mate is still there, somewhere. He loves you. He's waiting for you.\"\n\n\"Y-yes!\" I said puffing my cheeks, trying to offer support as best I could. Karen-Chan looked at me solemnly. \"He liked as you were before you changed him! You didn't force him to love you--those feelings were always there! Surely, they--they--\"\n\nIt was at that point I had to stop. There was more movement in my belly. Harder not. Uncomfortable. Painful. I was beginning to roll off my chair and Tazkol-Chan barely caught me. Things felt so warm. My ankles felt swollen. I was floating. I could barely make out what was going on with the buzzing in my earfins. Tazkol-Chan was speaking to me and Karen-Chan was on her phone, saying something about my egg. My baby. Where were my mates?\n\nAs I was rushed off somewhere away, I found myself smiling. My time as a human boy were done. It was finally time to be a mother.[/i]\n\nArt was commissioned by the amazing Halcyon!

A tinge of guilt came to me, wondering what Tofu-Kun would think of my figure. Maybe he would appreciate some extra weight...<br /><br />Something tapped against my stomach line. I rubbed my hand against my belly. Karen-Chan watched me anxiously until the third monsterkin girl among us got her attention.<br /><br />&quot;What about you?&quot; Tazkol-Chan asked, loudly slurping the chocolate syrup off her talons. &quot;Do you have any memories of your past life?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I...&quot; Karen-Chan clicked her beak, looking at the floor and then back at Tazkol-Chan again. &quot;Well, it&#039;s not like I can just willfully remember who I was. They come and go. A lot of who I was doesn&#039;t matter. I know I am Karen, I&#039;m an employee of a deeply secretive branch of Capcom, and I help to make others like me. I recall something about working for them once in another development team...or was I a custodian? Ah, it doesn&#039;t matter, though.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Well what about what got you to be you now?&quot; Tazkol-Chan. I shifted uncomfortably. I wasn&#039;t sure Karen-Chan was used to being questioned like this to who were just any other customer. Karen-Chan, however, didn&#039;t show annoyance or unease. &quot;You know, so cold and distant off the clock? I don&#039;t mean now. I mean back there. I have...well, had personal drama in my life. So what&#039;s your excuse?&quot;<br /><br />Karen-Chan gaped at her, stunned at her straightfowardness. Or maybe she was looking past her, in a vacuous attempt to grasp at what Tazkol-Chan meant. Carefully, I shifted my handtalon and squeezed the Magnamalo Girl&#039;s own.<br /><br />&quot;Tazkol-chan, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s polite to--&quot; I began softly, then Karen-Chan spoke clearly.<br /><br />&quot;There was a special someone in my life. I remember.&quot; Karen-Chan began softly. Our heads both turned in perfect synch. Neither of us spoke. Her tone was one that demanded attention. &quot;I don&#039;t remember his real name. He never used it. But he called himself :iconSharkByte_aka_Mollusk:.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Did he go by Sharkbyte or Mollusk? Or was it both?&quot; Tazkol-Chan asked.<br /><br />&quot;He preffered the first name, I think,&quot; Karen-Chan&#039;s beak pulled back into a warm smile. &quot;He was special. My first ever customer. I only knew him for less than an hour but he had charm. And his smell was...pleasant. Not an ammonia smell or something richly alcohol and incense. It was, something else. His clothes had a beach aesthetic to it. A salt smell--he smelled like the sea. There had been an ocean nearby. Not this dry desert landscape. It reminds me of something I can&#039;t remember now. My day before I left my old family, maybe.&quot;<br /><br />She stirred her ice cream. I quietly listened as I began licking the softened banana slices. Tazkol-Chan was gnawing on her next maraschimo cherry. She had ordered a whole jar of them, their reddened plant ends on a plate to be discarded. Couldn&#039;t be bothered to decorate them on her dessert. Karen-Chan continued.<br /><br />&quot;We talked a little about a few things as I gave him his kinship stone. He was happy before. He was kind. I know he said I was beautiful, even with my silly kokoto cosplay. Then he put that stone around his neck, and his eyes sparked with that dragonblight haze. He gazed at me with an almost hurt glance. My heart had sunk. Then his lips pulled back into an uncanny animal grin of sharpened keratin. and as his beak pushed out of his soft human skin he roared as he began tearing away at his clothes and dead tissue. I watch as his wings ruptured his beautiful shirt, his tail tearing his shorts, the erupting dragonblight burning away his skin, his smell, all that that human boy was.<br /><br />The room he was in was demolished, utterly. He was no longer human but a regal, glorious Valstrax Monsterkin. He was not even that boy then by persona. Or maybe there was some part of him still in there, somewhere. He took off like a shot out of the convention building, soaring in the sky like a streaking red comet, his roars echoing in the sky. He would come back later in that same spot as I was passing by, and after the clean up crew had repaired the damage. He would make love to me, giving me thanks for awakening him. I had oved him. I had his child. They are both waiting for me on the other side. His home.&quot;<br /><br />Her voice, that had been so feverish nostalgic, was turning sour. It seemed to be a treasured memory, I thought, but something about how she said she had loved him sounded so bittersweet. I licked the bottom of my melted ice cream. &quot;You mean your home too, don&#039;t you? That sounds very sweet by the way, how he swept you off your feet. He loves you for it.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;No. The Valstrax Monsterkin does and whatever traces of a person was in that stone loves me. That was not the boy. Not anymore.&quot; Karen-Chan swallowed hard. &quot;Everything he was had been taken from him in an instant. That final look before the change took hold was betrayal. I can&#039;t unthink it. I never got to tell him how i felt in that short time we knew each other. I never thought...he would change so much.&quot;<br /><br />There was an awkward silence then. So much emotion was unpacked for us to process. I couldn&#039;t think of what to say, what to offer that could comfort our fellow monsterkin girl. I never knew how much it could hurt to lose someone&#039;s identity to the kinship stone. Was I myself truly content or was it the stone slowly taking away my humanity, taking away that human boy from my mind before it was only a dream?<br /><br />&quot;No.&quot; Tazkol-chan finally spoke, squeezing Karen-Chan&#039;s handtalon in comfort. &quot;This is not death. This is only change. Change is nothing to fear. We are not going to disappear as we were. We&#039;re evolving. Always. It doesn&#039;t matter if these are our memories or someone else&#039;s. We are us. And your mate is still there, somewhere. He loves you. He&#039;s waiting for you.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Y-yes!&quot; I said puffing my cheeks, trying to offer support as best I could. Karen-Chan looked at me solemnly. &quot;He liked as you were before you changed him! You didn&#039;t force him to love you--those feelings were always there! Surely, they--they--&quot;<br /><br />It was at that point I had to stop. There was more movement in my belly. Harder not. Uncomfortable. Painful. I was beginning to roll off my chair and Tazkol-Chan barely caught me. Things felt so warm. My ankles felt swollen. I was floating. I could barely make out what was going on with the buzzing in my earfins. Tazkol-Chan was speaking to me and Karen-Chan was on her phone, saying something about my egg. My baby. Where were my mates?<br /><br />As I was rushed off somewhere away, I found myself smiling. My time as a human boy were done. It was finally time to be a mother.</em><br /><br />Art was commissioned by the amazing Halcyon!
