Like so many who had been involved with the dark soul possessions Beastboy was feeling particularly lousy. But he knew sitting around feeling sorry for himself wasn't going to make anything better so he set out to find Starfire and apologize.

And if he were run into anyone else, well he was a bit of a social butterfly these days.

After her much needed Girls Day out with new friend Reimi and Nura, Katara was pretty pleased. She was walking toward the City, practically sprinting. By now the possessed were taken care of and she was headed straight toward the City when she spied Beastboy scurrying about.

"Heya Beastboy!" She said, giving him a hug. "How are you?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy did indeed scurry as he was some sort of small furry rodent, scampering up and shifting back with a warm smile at Katara "Hey! Doin' better then I was I guess?" He rubbed the back of his head and laughed weakly, "I gotta find Star though. Have you seen her flying around?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"Doing better than you were?" That sounded a little telling, and she couldn't help laughing when he morphed back. "No, I haven't seen Starfire yet, I just got back from the baths. Why? Did you need to talk with her about something?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy groaned, "I guess she didn't tell anyone...guess that's a good thing." He sighed and flopped onto a bench, "So like...something made me go all crazy and stuff and I turned into this beast thing and attacked her. The doc told me I was possessed by some evil soul junk." He flopped again throwing his head back and scanning the skies, "I don't remember it all clearly, just blurry stuff, me smashing into her, saying some really mean stuff. I gotta apologize."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara took his hand. "I know what you're talking about. It was Daimon's dark soul that started possessing people, actually. I actually came face to face with someone that was taken by the spirit, a friend of mine. She said some pretty harsh things, but I was able to hold her back and help arrived. You weren't yourself Beastboy, just apologize. She knows what you're like, she won't hate you, OK? I'm sorry it happened to you though."

She didn't bother mentioning how much trouble she got for holding that person back. That would be something she'd have to deal with later.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy blinked and his cheeks pinked "Sheesh really?" That stupid thing must have gotten around." He muttered "So like...it's gone now right? We don't have to worry about it happening again?" He asked hopefully.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"It did," Katara said, "So try not to feel too horrible. That demony thing took random things about what the host knew and used it to hurt people who were close to them. As far as I know, we should be OK now: Daimon should have it under control."

But if he looked, Beastboy could see that Katara had a pretty hurt look about certain things that had been said to her.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"That's a relief." He looked at his gloved hand pensively. "The Beast was nothing new to me though. It was unleashed some time ago by chemicals, I think I mutated or something. Now I always feel it right here." he tapped himself in the chest, "That's the first time it was out of my control though."

Shifting his seat on the bench he patted the seat next to him inviting her to sit. "What about you? Who'd it possess that you knew?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry that had to happen then," Katara said. "But even if that;s the case, just find Starfire and let her know what's going on. I think she'll understand and be happy to welcome her old friend back again. I see that a lot in her."

She was quiet a moment. "It was my friend Eva, the mother of someone I knew named Marco. we've talked every once and awhile about war and things. She used to be controlled by those alien Yeerk things, and when I saw she was possessed, I meant to stop that thing before it made her do anything bad. But...I froze her for a little bit, and her son was really angry with me. Still is, actually. We got along before then, honestly but not now. And what she said, with the possession, it was something I know has some parts in the truth."

Starfire had finally been patched up. She'd claim to feel 'good as new', as people usually phrased it, but Beast Boy's pain was still on her mind. She hadn't been able to cope with it since they'd been separated after the battle.

Naturally, the first thing she did upon being cleared to leave medbay was seek out a flash of green fur anywhere. When she spotted one, she flew closer and called out to it.

"Beast Boy?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy's head snapped up when he heard her, he'd been dashing along the hall as a dog and as he was distracted by Starfire's voice finally popping out he didn't watch where he was running.

WHAM! Right into a wall.

Dazed he shifted back and stumbled over to her "Sssstar!" He greated her with a lopsided grin, crossed eyes and what may or may not have been stars spinning round his head.

[starbolts]

"Beastboy!"

Immediately concerned for him, Starfire planted herself firmly on the ground and caught his arms. Her eyes were wide, face motherly. As usual when her friends were hurt.

"Do you need to visit the medical bay again?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy shook his head so hard she could hear his ears flapping and coughed a couple times, "No no, I'm good just a little ahem, tired." He grinned weakly looking her up and down with a critical eye, "But what about you? I didn't hurt you right? I am SO sorry! I mean it should go without saying right? We're best friends and all that and I never would hurt you willinglybutitjustkindoftookovertheevilsoulthingandI'msosorryI'dneverhavesaidthosethingsnoneofthemweretrueandIdon'tevenremembersomeofit!" He was talking so fast his words blurred together as he eagerly got all these concerns off his chest.

[starbolts]

Well, the fast talking was a good sign. He was still Beastboy. Unfortunately, it also made him difficult to understand. As gently as she could, she squeezed his shoulder.

"You are forgiven, but I cannot know exactly what to forgive if you speak so quickly."

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy's eyes blinked a couple of times and he let out a gasp of air that took his pale green back to a more healthy color, "I was saying...sorry for all that junk." And then he hugged her tight, "You're the only Titan I've got from home right now and if I got you hurt bad...well I don't think Robin and the others would get a chance to kick my butt you know? I'd be too busy kicking it myself." He laughed embarrassed. Joking yes but it was heavy with truth.

[starbolts]

Starfire hugged him just as tightly, perhaps a bit more than what was comfortable. As she tended to do, unfortunately. This time, it was more out of protection than exuberance.

"If they wished to 'kick your butt' in response to this, I would retaliate," she whispered icily. "Even against Robin. The darksoul is at fault, you are not."

She smiled wearily at him, considering what to say for a while. Words failed her, but tears prevailed. How close she had come to losing him too.

Ronnae was walking casually around the ship, still exploring it and maybe see if there were any buildings from her home. The young half-orcess was feeling a bit down recently having met a couple of Azerothians and yet most of them didn't seem all too friendly. She sighed and pulled her hoodie'g hood up, making her long twin ponytails drape over her chest. She put her hands into the hoodie's pockets before continuing on.

I really should have a monkey icon...oh well.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Oh hey look Ronnae! It's a Green monkey swinging along from a phone line chittering away to himself cheerfully! How cute right?

Re: I really should have a monkey icon...oh well.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae stops for a moment looking up at the odd sight. She can't help but laugh a little as she approaches the monkey.

"Hey little guy, I thought you guys where supposed to all stay at Hydroponics or whatever that place is called." She smiled looking up at him.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

The monkey looked at her mouth making an o as he called "OoooooOOOOOooooo!" And flipped from the wire to shift into a cat and land gracefully on the ground in front of her. The green feline wound between her legs purring with a meow.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae flinched taken aback. "A ch-changeling? Like a druid of sorts?" She looked down momentarily before realizing she was still wearing her skirt which in turn made her take a couple of hurried steps back, almost tripping.

Her face had blushed some. "If if you a-are a druid..." She shook the thought aside, it could just be a shifting creature, no need to think it was trying anything right?

She smiled at it, kneeling down on the floor closer to his level. "Are you lost?" She asked curiously.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy hadn't realized she was wearing a skirt either and once he did he stumbled embarrassed and shifted back blushing and rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "Not so much just um, looking around." And then his eyes bugged out a little "N-not that I was looking um...I mean up I mean...I didn't see anything I uh...sorry?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae couldn't help but laugh a little. She blushed slightly herself and stood up offering a bright smile.

"You new here as well or? I don't know much of the ship seeing as I just got here recently. I spend a good time walking around seeing everything I can."

She looked around before looking back to him. "I'm Ronnae. Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos." She bowed respectfully before standing straight, a warm smile on her face.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Beastboy." He rolled backwards and sprang to his feet with a grin, "And I've been here awhile. You might have seen this big hotel um..." He looked around scanning the skyline as if he could see it. "OK I can't see it from here but there's this hotel with "The Outsiders" Written on a sign. I'm one of the leaders of that group." He explained proudly, "We try to like, provide a family atmosphere and stuff."

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae smiled. "Beastboy hm? That's cute. Sounds like a name a Tauren would name their kid."

She stopped for a moment to think. "I think I heard about the Outsiders before, over the comm thing. And this ego-maniacal book also mentioned you guys, tho I haven't gone there myself to look."

She brushed her skirt lightly and pulled down the hood of her hoodie shaking her ponytails back behind her. "Sounds like a nice group. It's nice to see not everyone has lost their sense of family or comradery. I've seen some fairly bitter people already, was hoping the majority wasn't like that."

She looks up in thought. "Though I can't say I could blame them entirely... with the situation and all."
