It's a Wild Wild Life

When: After a trip to California
Where: Central Park, New York.
Who: OTA

What:

The Rift has been active once again and Jack has taken a small group with him to of all places Central Park. It was nice to have localized activity above the HUB it was easier to find but it made the immortal uneasy.

Jack turned around with his Webley in one hand. He listened to his cheerleader under the HUB giving him and the others directions. The energy signal is a strange one that is leading him closer towards the Central Park zoo. It's a bright sunny day with families and tourists flocking over to see the exhibits.

"Hey, is anyone feeling a little strange?" Jack turns his head around and with an influx of people in the area he reholsters the gun. "Please, let's try not to cause anyone to panic." He tells the people with him and with a motion of his hand he gives a silent order to put the guns away. He pushes himself through the turn-style and he begins to make his way through the mass of people who are enjoying the warm weather.

'Careful Jack, you're getting closer to it's location. It's located in a far corner of the zoo grounds.' Toshiko says, through the commlink to everyone on the surface.

"I promise someone that we can do some guns a wavin," Jack jokes, but the matter is far from one as his hand slides into the pocket of his greatcoat when he pushes through a group of onlookers near a group of flamingos.

"You don't want to know Liz. You should of been with us in Cardiff for the space whale." Owen's about to give Liz a good pat on the back and soon a sparrow accidentally finds itself flying into his face. He swats at the little bird that's knocked to the ground. "Drunk on seeds are we Tweety?" He kneels down to scoop the stunned sparrow up from the ground and he grimaces. "And, please don't have some strange bird flu to pass down."

He tosses the bird back into the air that flies a bit strangely from it's other little friends. "Right, it's something in the seed." Owen wonders for a bit and he glances at the people. "That's because it's not alive so hence the lack of running. You can eat fish Liz." Owen tells her and he's just used the books to rest beer on instead of reading them.

He's feeling a bit of an ass today and that's fairly normal for the doctor but today its Owen being more Owenish.

The two get a laugh out of Jack but he's focused on the sensor in his hand as he pushes through the crowd. "Sorry, to hear that big guy." Jack tells Red through his commlink. "I'll join you for a little gator wrestling once we take care of the problem upstairs."

He can only imagine that Red's ran into an extra load of crap under the sewers of the zoo. "I think the zoo might of had one escape the other day."

The bird catches Jack's attention and he stares at it's drunken flight patterns for a bit. "It might be sick. Let's keep going you two and I can assure you both it's not going to be some monster with ten heads and rows of nasty teeth in each."

"What the hell?" Kamikaze bird to her boyfriend's face takes Liz aback. She stops walking and goes over to inspect the little thing in Owen's hand after making sure he's OK. "Just...wash your hand or something." She says slowly as she watches the bird fly off like it's been stuck in a spin cycle for a hour. "I've got a bad feeling about this." Liz says as she starts to feel even more nervous.

"Ten points for the Star Wars reference, Kid!" Red shouts over the comm with a chuckle. Liz growls a bit and snaps back. "Red, shut up and focus. We might need you save our ass because someone just jinxed us." Liz glares at Jack at that last part. "Why are there so many birds acting like they belong in a cartoon, anyway?"

Owen keeps on going and he turns around to look at the others, he's feeling something weird coming from his ass end and his ears. He winces a bit. "Told you the bloody thing was fucking diseased." Owen reaches his hands up for his ears and he figures it's too much out doors time with a bunch of animals.

His ass is starting to feel strange and he goes to rub it. "I think I busted my tailbone." He keeps feeling it and he's going to try to ignore the itch. There's that urge to want to go home and in mid rub Harper feels something very disturbing in his pants.

"Jack!" Owen's starting to show panic in his face and he looks at Liz. "Liz you're right this is bad. We're being jinxed."

He watches the birds and he slides his coat off and he goes to use it to bring down one of the drunken birds. Jack kneels down to scoop the little bird up to take a look at it and he tosses his heavy coat onto a bench. "I think whatever this energy reading is, it's causing these guys to act erratically."

The sparrow is terrified at being held by Jack and he glances up to Liz. "I think you're.." Jack stops to look over at Owen when he begins to complain. "I thought you would be happy to do some normal Torchwood work after being stuck to old Lurch."

The bird squirms in Jack's hand to try to free itself and then Jack looks over to Owen. "Owen, we're not going..." He frowns to see the look of panic on the doctor's face and he knows that he likes to hide these feelings. He walks over towards Owen to see what's wrong. He discards the bird and he goes to run a scanner over Owen but he drops it. "Sorry, butterfingers." He goes to pick the scanner up again but for some reason he's unable to get a good grasp on it.

"I'm what...the bird whisperer?" Liz is ignoring Owen's bitching and moaning for now as she watched the bird in Jack's hands. "He's...always...bitching." Liz says as though she's off in space. She's transfixed by the little song bird, so much so she actually reaches out to bat at it like a normal person would not do. "Sorry...sorry." Liz looks around, confused by her own actions more than anything.

As Jack lets the bird go, Liz jumps up to catch it with both hands, delicately trapping it between her palms. She goes so far as to sit on the ground, the mission forgotten as she stays focused on the bird and only the bird. "I think I want chicken for dinner." Her mouth is actually watering as she lays down on the ground, the bird squirming to escape from her fingers. Wait...not fingers.

"Boss?" Liz lets go of the bird finally to cover her mouth with her hand...sort of. OK, not really at all. "What the..."

When the two look at Owen there in place of his ears and exploding from his pants are donkey ears and a tail. Then there's the predatory nature of Liz and he's starting to get nervous.

It doesn't take much longer for the rest of the transformation to take place and there with tattered clothing stands one poor terrified donkey. He just stands there like a good stubborn old ass should and it's for good reason, he's worried about becoming food for the bird catching woman.

"You're good with cats?" Jack tells Liz and he arches up an eyebrow and then there's Owen's transformation. He stands there looking shocked but his own body is going through it's own transformation.

There's the itching and the feeling of being heavy, Jack's inability to pick up the scanner leaves him to sit on his big fat and now hairy ass that's split his pants. Jack sits there with his clothes in tatters with his coat being the lone survivor in this.

He tries to speak but there's nothing but a big grrrr, the hair explodes and he sits there with his body taking shape, muscles becoming heavier until there in the place of Jack sits one big bear. The people who are outside of that line freak out at the sight of the chance of becoming the food for a hungry grizzly.

So much for not creating a panic...

Liz...or rather the Siberian Tiger that was Liz a few moments ago finishes off the poor little bird she had in her ~~hands~~ claws in a single snap of her jaws.

The screaming of the zoo patrons throws her a bit, but not as much as the fact there are not one but two unfamiliar animals very near her that wouldn't be in the wild. True to personality, Tiger!Liz is not a huge fan of strangers either. Plus she's pregnant and hungry so that combative roar is right on schedule.

Then of course, there's poor Hellboy, who's directly below the other three animals. Where he was wading in a maze of crap before he now finds himself crawling along under a few feet of filthy water. Yes, Red always did respect that vigilante known as 'The Lobster', (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_Johnson) but actually being a lobster is a bit much, even for a guy like Red who's been though pretty much everything.

Owen's stuck with two predators who might be looking at him with big hungry eyes. "Fuck!" It sounds more like a donkey cry to the spooked visitors. This might also be due to his situation as a donkey.

He considers running off from the two as fast as his donkey legs will carry him with his donkey instincts kicking in. "I'm not staying here with the bird eating tiger. The next thing she'll turn into is a donkey eating tiger."

His tail swishes to chase off a few flies from his ass. "You put on a few extra pounds Jack. I think we need to get you off the donuts for a bit."

There's a grimace from the bear that's just sitting there on his be plump ass with his clothing in tatters around him. "Now this is one way to enjoy a little time without clothing."

Jack finally gets to his feet and he plods over to where he left his coat. "I think The Doctor has this one under control." He ducks as an owl flies over his head and he there's an annoyed growl.

He wonders where Alisa and the others got too, are they like this so the big guy goes to stand up. "Wow, talk about a lot of different smells here." But Owen's insults about his 'bear weight' get a growl and snort. "You're being an ass like always Owen."

Somehow in all this mess of chaos, Liz makes out familiar voices coming from those animals that she'd rather eat than talk to. She suppresses instinct as she shakes her head. "...not again." She coughs, a bit disgusted in herself for devouring a live bird in one bite. It's...hell, she'd do it again, no denying it.

"So not a pregnancy craving." The tiger looks around as the area of the zoo clears out. Doesn't take her long to figure out which is which between the boss and the boyfriend. "Hell...talk about irony." If tigers could chuckle, Liz would be doing that but it comes out more like a loud purr when she gets a look at Owen. "You guys, we should maybe think about getting under cover. We're zoo animals...in a zoo. Someone's gonna come tranq us and lock us up and then we're really screwed."

Liz looks back at her things torn to shreds on the ground, including her belt with her gun still on it. She's not leaving that behind, or a few other things like the gifts Owen's given her, even if he is literally being a total ass. A few moments of tedious clawed scraping and she'd got everything in the belt and the belt in her teeth. "We really should get going and find everyone else, you know?"

There's a wince and Owen glances down at his gun on the ground along with his swipe card and wallet. "Oh, bullocks." Then he can't forget his medkit that he never seems to leave without these days. "This isn't going to turn our kid into freak donkey-tiger thing is it?"

He wanders over towards the bear that's too be his boss and he agrees with the tiger. "I say we leave the zoo and head into the park. There should be places to hide there. Still we need to well -- fix this." Owen looks at Jack and he'd rather not do it with a tiger. "Just don't think about eating me the two of you."

"What happened to the big guy?" Owen asks about Red.

The elephant making a mess in her wake might answer Jack's answers. Alisa could smell those 'pheromones' from the other side of the barrier. She's one big old African Elephant with a pair of big tusks and she's far from happy.

"Okay, who's going to explain this?" She grinds to a stop, okay she knows it was the thing where ever it maybe. Then she can't help but to see the poor little donkey. "Where'd Shrek go?" The fact there's two predators who might be hungry makes her a little nervous.

Alisa wouldn't mind escaping from the zoo right now and it couldn't be a problem to make a run for the gates. "I don't think donkey's plan is a good one. We might want to find and fix this first."

Liz had a point as did Owen, but then there's the sense of duty and the issue with all of these birds. Jack goes to swat one of the drunken sparrows from the sky with one of his big paws. "You're both right. We risk getting shot if we stay here and..."

Jack turns around to see the zoo staff coming towards them with rifles and then there's the big elephant that comes to approach them. "Okay, we can joke around later, let's go work on an escape. I haven't seen Patrick or Ianto anywhere either."

He gets down to all fours and he looks at the scanner that was dropped. There's a grunt and a look to the big old elephant. "We might need fingers guys, lets go see if we can find someone who can help us out first."
