      Scary part is that there are a lot of people who would actually welcome such an event in real life, nyao…

        Mmm-hm. The hairless-plains-ape model has its upsides on the practicality front, but it’s not exactly sporty…

      Who WOULDN’T sign on to get a great fur coat and a set of claws? I’m certainly on board with the enfuzzening of humanity! 😀

    But I thought the fox colored squirrel guy was totes into evil.

      He is totes evil, but he’s also cost-conscious. Mass murder ain’t cheap, they didn’t budget for it, and the (in)discretionary fund’s tapped out as it is.

      Plus, there’s different kinds of evil. Killing everyone is worse than killing SOME people and ruling with a torturous iron fist.

      Also, he only frowns on it.

    Huh; we’ll have to get rid of all the rocking chairs, I guess, or most of ’em (tail-less mutates can have them, I suppose.)

          Actually i sometimes start to write things as i think them, so i occasionally switch similarly sounding letters.

    After looking at today’s Girl Genius I think I wouldn’t mind being Dimo. I mean if I gotta be mutated and all.

      Hmm. Helps there’s also the ‘basically immortal’ thing with Jaegers, too… but if such people actually count as non-human, why not be “Higgs”? (And Higgs/Zeetha is canon, while Agatha/Dimo seems pretty damn unlikely!)

      • DarkStarling

        But Higgs is probably a Jaeger…

      From human to cat? Nya ha ha, who says there’s no such thing as evolution? Of course you want to become a superior lifeform, nyao!

    Cue “Fursonal Jesus.”

    Also it’s uncanny how much like Magneto H.T. can be despite having no superpowers. But I guess that’s why Magneto was picked as the #1 comic book supervillain: you could Kryptonite him and still be left with someone just slightly less dangerous than Lex Luthor.

      Magneto is one of my favorite villains. Half the time he’s on screen I’m agreeing with him. And his plans aren’t complete garbage.

        You’re responsible for this:

        (If you can’t find the tune, then I’ve done this wrong)

        Had with sapiens
        Belligerence,
        (been) irradiated
        into a little merle.
        Painful to me,
        Pierce right through me,
        Cat you understand
        Is my little love…

        All I ever wanted,
        All I ever needed:
        H T’s call to arms.
        Humanity’s unnecessary!

        Birds aren’t token,
        Too, be chosen…
        Felines are in trend…
        Word of squirrel:
        Ledger remain,
        So does the brain
        – All the millisievert
        are forgettable.

    There was a similar bit on the Kevin & Kell twitter feed, where it turns out that most of these people lose interest once they learn the animal they’re predisposed to turn into is a lot less impressive than their fursona.

      Remember the thing about accaudials in “Narbonic?” Mutants with an obsession with humanity…after a while they claim they can’t feel their wings or tails…and they write angsty poetry about going into accounting and moving to Detroit.

      I thought Sweetheart showed symptoms of that when she was in the drone and in Akron…

      Well, we’ve had an irresponsible nuclear physicist, a mad zoologist, and the tigerish reincarnation of Malcolm X. A mad scientist trapped in the 50’s would almost seem normal in comparison.

    So… this would be the irradiator they were using to mutate humans over in the mirror world, I’m guessing.

    @H.T.: Radiation causes severe cell damage, cancers, and sickness. What you’re looking for is a tailored retrovirus that causes specific intron activation to induce animal-related atavisms to express themselves in the host organism.

    Nya? It’s not my fault I know these sorts of things! I live with a Neanderthal and a half-fae mad scientist!

    I think our tiger friend forgets that humans are animals. We’re mammals and primates, just hairless and have high intelligence and different body type then most animals. Also that would kill ALL life due to radiation poisoning.
