EvilX snorts, "Melodramatic pebble, Love that," He kicks down from where he's lying upside down on the ceiling to stand on the floor.

Once he's in his temporary house he settles down and checks things out. It's a fairly small, well decorated area.

Doc grins, "Let us know if you need anything."

"You guys just leaving me here?" Hbomb gasps dramatically.

Iskall laughs, "No, I'll stay for a while.

As the sun sets the Hermits one by one leave and Hbomb is left alone for the night.

Slumping across the couch, Hbomb turns his head towards the wall. The hermits had left about an hour ago.

Something deep in his back spasms and he starts to drift off into sleep, trying to resist; he presses the help button on his communicator to call the hermits over.

The next thing he knows is a creeper with a mechanical eye staring down at him. Instinctively he hisses back and Doc backs off.

"Sorry man," Doc murmurs; doing his best to not hiss, "That was a bit close."

"It's fine," Hbomb shakes his head, "What happened?"

"So the meteor affected you all at once," Ren gently explains, "We got here and the transformation was already done... hey maybe you dropping him into the void did something," He looks over to Doc.

Doc shrugs, "I think It worked a little, but there's some black ooze coming out of the crack now. Sorry H. Got off track. Uh, you might want to take a look," He hands him a mirror.

Hbomb's ears pin back for a moment before he grins, "I'm a cat!

Stretching up from where his natural ears were, cat ears swivel around taking in the sounds. A tail twitches from behind. The tail is super puffy and full of long fur, tipped in black a somewhat striped pattern wraps it way up the tail. His pupils have formed into slits.

Grinning widely, Hbomb inspects his teeth, "I'm not mad about this?"

Barking out a laugh Ren wags his tail, "Meteor's dormant so I think after we do an instinct test you'll be good to go home."

"Cool."

Walking with Doc down to where the meteor is stored, Hbomb flicks his tail nervously. He wanted to see the meteor but now he's not too sure if it was a good idea.

"Ok, right though here," Doc nudges his arm.

Swallowing hard Hbomb steps into the room, "Oh, it's literally just a rock."

Snorting slightly Doc shrugs, "Yeah."

" Oh no, I'm so scared of the big scary rock," Hbomb laughs, " UwU im so scared."

Laughing Doc shakes his head, "I would be a bit careful with that. He doesn't like being insulted."

" Nyaa ," Hbomb purrs, "What's he going to do, make me more of a cat?"

The meteor flashes a bit and Hbomb is gone. Leaving a large silver and black maine coon cat in his place.

Doc sighs, "I warned you."

Ears pinned back Hbomb hisses.

"Let's get you back to the egg."

____

Hbomb is set on the couch and Doc looks over to the side bench against the window.

"Cub," Doc calls over, "Wake up."

Stretching out, Cub looks up and shifts back to human, "What's up?"

"He messed with the meteor," Doc hisses, pointing to Hbomb.

Cub sighs, turning to look at Hbomb, "Well you got into some trouble," Shifting down he lands on the couch and bats at Hbomb with a paw.

Hbomb shakes his coat out a bit and stands up, blinking down at Cub.

Padding around for a bit, Cub teaches him how to cat. Looking up at him with pleading eyes, Hbomb purrs and mews up at Doc.

Doc laughs, "I have to deal with Ren and Tango, that doesn't work on me anymore."

A vwooop comes from the nether portal. Padding over Cub watches as stress walks through the portal.

"Aww Hi cubby," She murmurs down to him.

Putting his paw on her legs he meows loudly and wiggles his tail.

"You want somefin?" She murmurs, "Oh I've got some yarn."

Cub chirps up at her as she sets it on the ground. Very carefully he bites down on the ball of yarn and carries it over to the couch. There's a ramp attached to the side for easy access, when he's in this form it's pretty hard to jump.

Softly nudging it towards Hbomb, Cub watches as the new cat bats at the yarn and swats it off the edge.

With Hbomb getting used to his cat form, Cub pads over to his spot under a chair, it's got a cat hide built in and he wants the space.

Doc waves to Stress as she leaves the spawn room. Spotting him wiggle under the chair Doc sits down. Poking him a few strips of sandwich meat Doc watches as Hbomb gets tangled up in the yarn ball.

_______

After a few hours Hbomb turns back to mostly human. Soon after he leaves the hermits and heads back to his home server.

Once in his room he pulls out some ribbons and ties a bow around the base of his tail. Grinning he sets out to annoy his server mates.
