Irene was relaxing in the pool, floating thanks to her natural floaties. Irene Tom in air and water. The cigar smoke went through her nose and out her mouth. Irene was having trouble remembering why she was wearing clothes earlier. She knew it would please the more fickle humans but as an evolved human she felt better naked.
She was still waiting for Jeff to begin his changes because of puberty. She was unsure why he hadn’t change like her yet. When he did Irene would be proud of Jeff.
Unknown to Jeff and his sister the Chronivac was changing them slightly too. But it was not doing much right now.
Irene in the meantime, stubbed out her cigar and swam to the bottom of the pool and began breathing through her gills. Irene liked this, she opened her eyes looking up into sky from under the water of the pool. She instinctively pressed herself flat against the bottom of the pool. The next evolutionary leap happened.
All across her skin from tentacles on the top of her head to the tip of her toes her body began to change colors from the various greens she was to a white black tile patter that was on the bottom of the pool. What was happening was Irene was gaining chromatophores, color changing cells across her skin. Irene could now vanish and hide.
A fun ability to now have. Though, Irene always thought she had it.
