When they got to the fortress, the group headed straight to the hospital. Vemini and Oliolli helped explain what had happened, and who needed treatment where. Weird sat in his bed and watched them troop in. So the hunt had been successful, after all.
HugoLuman lay down on the hospital cloth stockpile, since he could figure out no way to get into one of the beds. They were too small for him, anyway. As his head cleared from the concussion and from the recent battles, he was overcome. Primarily, he was disturbed by his new body; now that he had time to fully take the fact in, this transformation was hands-down the strangest thing he had ever experienced. Somehow the thought that he wasn't even a mammal anymore was particularly unnerving. He had yet to encounter a mirror or other way of seeing what he looked like, but the alien sensations coming from his own body were almost too much for now.
Then, as he began to drift off to some much needed sleep, another thought occured to him; he had been going around naked this whole time. When he woke up, finding a dragon-sized towel would be priority number 1.
Gizogin and Mrhappyface listened to weird.
"So, you say this dragon is Hugo?"
"Yes. Somehow, he randomly turned from a translucent human into a non-ghostly dragon. I suspect that Zanzetkuken was involved somehow."
Gizogin and Mrhappyface eyed the sleeping HugoLuman, and Weird saw an eerily... hungry look in their faces.
"Surely you're not planning to do any !!Science!! on him are you? Come on, we can't do that to someone who came here from the forums with us. Except maybe Corai."
Gizogin thought. Maybe just a teensy vivisection. Wouldn't hurt a bit.
