[Tobias isn't usually the most excited and bouncy of people, but today he looks absolutely overjoyed. Why? Well... the reason is standing next to him, in the form of a bird as big as him. He has an arm around the bird's neck, grinning from ear to ear.]

Regal evolved! It took him a while, but he finally did it!

[He gives the bird a squeeze, and nuzzles his feathers. When he looks at the camera again, his cheeks are a little wet. ... He's not crying. Shush.]

Now all we need to do is to get him a Fly HM, and we can take to the skies. I'm really really proud of him. He worked really hard to do this.

[... He's gonna start crying again, so he just smiles a little shakily and turns off the recording.]

[ IT'S SO HUGE HOLY SHIT

gamzee is watching with eyes going wide the entire time. his vanillite, on the other hand, frosty brew, is actually a bit frightened— the pokemon was very very big compared to her, and just the thought of evolution made her stomach turn— did it hurt? would she be next?

would she . . . be . . . ugly???

with this, the little ice cream cone begins to cry, unable to take her eyes off the giant braviary that now replaces the little bird that wasn't too scary— but now he is. now he's huge.

she's not even sure that's still regal!!

tears forming quicker, she desperately pulls on gamzee's shirt, calling for him. help, mr. gamzee!!! i'm scared!!! but gamzee isn't scared gamzee's too amazed to even think scared

popping a chesto berry into his mouth like popcorn, he sloppily gazes. ]

Holy shit.

[Oh no! Regal lowers himself to the ground, looking at Frosty Brew. Hey! It's okay! It's still me! He squawks in a friendly manner. Now I can help keep you safe even more!]

[Tobias just grins and wipes his eyes.]

I'm just... glad. Really glad he evolved, finally.

[codpieces]

[ oh dear, he's so big—! frosty retreats a bit at first, her eyes wide and tiny little paw-hands shaking as they hold on to gamzee's shirt. the 'keep you safe' bit makes her stop, stare for a moment, then cry even more, but not because she's fearful— it really was regal! it's you still! she hiccups, fluttering over to him to hide her tiny self among his feathers as she tries to hug.

gamzee smiles at tobias— was his bro happily tearing up-? ]

He's one badass screechbeast now, brother. You seen those sparkles when be changing?

[ that was honestly the best part of evolution! ]

[wing_attack]

Yeah, I did.

[Regal lifts his head slowly with her. Going up!]

He's... I'm just glad he's happy. I can tell by how he looks, how he sounds. I...

[... Is Gamzee really the best person to tell? But Mimi knows and so he might as well tell Gamzee.]

I... used to be a bird.

[codpieces]

[ whoa hold up if he used to be a bird

then

:oO

gamzee looks like he's seen the answers to life ]

So . . . You know how to up an' fly, bro?

[wing_attack]

It's not that hard, if you have wings. Just... I started as a human and then got stuck as a bird.

[Regal leans down and starts preening Tobias' hair. He rolls his eyes a little and pats Regal.]

[codpieces]

—. . . You got stuck to a bird?

[ he's imagining tobias becoming like, one with a bird or something but no gamzee listen to what people say ]

[wing_attack]

N... no. We got the ability to change into animals, but there was a time limit. I went over the time limit, so I couldn't change back from being a hawk.

[codpieces]

[ whoaaa ]

We do?

[ GAMZEE no you cannot turn into a seagoat ]

Didn't know y'all could be doin' that, bro! How come you're all . . . featherless 'till now?

[wing_attack]

'We' meaning me and my friends. And I got the power back, but... I definitely wasn't in human morph when I left home. But I showed up as human here. You were something else too, right?
