I woke up a bit later than usual that morning, and while I may not be the sharpest carrot in the bushel when I'm just out of bed, it didn't take me long to notice certain things were a bit ... off that morning. Knowing that K1 and Belldandy would be off to school by now, but that Skuld was free in the morning today (and being a bit reluctant to deal with Urd quite so soon after waking) I made my way to the youngest Norn's workshop/shed, where we'd been working on my bike the past few days. She mumbled a hello without looking up from the bench as I entered. Pulling out my best 'reason in the face of the universe's pervesity' voice, I noted, "Skuld, I seem to be growing fur. My ears are feeling on the long side, as well. Why am I growing fur and long ears?"
She blinked audibly. I'm still not sure how that's possible, actually - my hearing's not *that* good - but it was true all the same.
Spinning on her work stool, she stared wideyed for a moment, then exclaimed, "... It's got to be a bug!"
"You know, this isn't quite what I mean when I say I consider Bugs Bunny my role model..."

Edited to add some narration - and took long enough at it that ordnance11 replied to the original. D'oh.How many times have you stared mournfully into the coleslaw and thought "Gee, I wish I was a cabbage."
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
