Radio audio, evening.
[It's that guy again! He still sounds pleasant at least.]
I wish to make a suggestion that we find ways to make ourselves... visibly identifiable even when in monstrous forms, as members of the convoy and thus ideally not a marauding wild beast even if we are acting like one. Something beyond our often hidden sigils, that an unthinking creature is unlikely to imitate. What exactly, I am open to recommendations for. I suspect friend-or-foe ID chips might be beyond what this place is capable of.
[The rest sounds extremely reluctant.]
I don't have as much control of the ... thing ... I become as I would like, and though I am reasonably sure I can keep from doing serious intentional harm to allies, I can't guarantee my behavior might not match that of a feral creature and thus seem to be a viable target for hunting. Especially as it seems intent on establishing a ... pecking order, and aggressively.
... I suspect I'm not the only one who has such concerns. These changes are uncomfortably unpredictable.

[What's a friendship bracelet for that matter? Though at least the 'bracelet' part probably means that it would be difficult to see.]

Do you know what a sport is?
no subject
No.
no subject
A sport is a non-lethal and often heavily regulated physical competition between two teams or more of people, with the goal of entertainment for watchers. Teams must be identifiable at a distance for favorites to be cheered on by those same watchers, and often wear sleeveless colored tunics called 'sports jerseys'.
[Sports have their place but he can't ever be bothered with them.]
Everyone on a given team wears the same colors, but are differently numbered. If you see a white-shirted person with number 11 on them, they will have number 11 and be in a white shirt in every competition, so you can keep watching a favorite team member more than the rest. People get so caught up being enthusiastic for the team they like that riots and violence can and does break out when they lose. Or win, for that matter.

...Though the tail end of Sephiroth's explanation dampens his enthusiasm for the idea just a little.
Honestly, the idea of sports jerseys sound a lot like Tribal colours. Things could have been much different if the Junkyard had been made for sport instead of combat...]
It's a sound idea. The numbers would be irrelevant but colour worn on the torso would be easily spotted.
The Junkyard made for sports instead would be FIFA with cannibalism.
Indeed. So far, blue has been suggested, but possibly not a very specific shade of blue so it doesn't match another's ... 'signature color'. I do not know where I will find such a jersey capable of actually fitting on the .. other form I take, but matching color should be enough for most purposes.
the losing team gets eaten
[So... "good enough" may have to do.]
Can you describe your other form?
A new form of game day bbq
[If blue was picked and everyone was in some shade from pastel to royal, it would still all at least BE blue. Unexpected monsters wearing blue clothing should at least give a pause.]
.. like one of the beasts in the convoy's list of threats called a 'levikron', but bigger, heavier and more reptilian in places. Predominantly dark in color. [A pause, then he adds after a with bitter humor,] Big teeth and claws.

It's a full transformation? That's unusual.
[There aren't many who have one, as far as he knows. Akechi already has changed quite drastically but he did mention having transformed into another beast once. The only others he can think of are Jack and John... and V, when they were still travelling with them. What was commonplace in the Junkyard is rather rare in Revan, one of the few things vastly different.]
Can you show it to me? I can help you with controlling it.
no subject
[A rhetorical question, he doesn't expect an answer to it. At least he more or less recognized one part of the creature he became, it'd somehow be worse otherwise.
Deliberately showing others though, when he went out of his way to hide what he could..
Sephiroth's reasonably sure it's not overly dangerous, he wasn't inclined yet to see anyone of the convoy as prey. But then more than Vincent would know just how tenuously reason controls instinct, and that sat terribly uncomfortably.]
... Very well. When?
no subject
because easier, network -> action
[Which leads to the only change in his routine throughout the day, putting on something he doesn't mind getting destroyed just in case. Still black.
Finding a bright orange Hilux isn't very difficult at all, at least, and it's there he heads, showing currently few signs of the changes that plague others. They're subtle, but there are a few; different teeth, actual short claws, a scattering of scales like metallic glitter here and there. But nothing like Serph himself has had.]
