 TftW: Fish-Man of Omega House.

````````````````````

Sometimes people who are weird are vilified for a number of reasons, there was one member of Delta House which was always ridiculed and mocked for his quirky tastes, his name was Seymour Lovecraft but his nickname was ‘Pisces’ because of his recurring love of aquatic creatures, he had a part time job working at an aquarium and he would share his stories with some of the fish which had gotten him the title of ‘that weird student who talks to fish’, this was why nobody trusted him because of his appearance and he was bullied, his most common bully was Greg Marmalard of Omega House, one evening Pisces had arrived late to a get together with the other Deltas and he appeared to be in a rather rough state. ‘Sorry i’m late guys but something happened.’ ‘Was it Marmalard?’ ‘Yes, he threatened to report my mutant fish experiment to Wormer.’ ‘That bastard needs to be taught a lesson.’ ‘I know, I still have some of my mega-grow fish formula here, we’ve seen what it does on fish but what about people?’ ‘Do you think the formula could turn Marmalad into a fish-monster?’ ‘You know I definitely think it could.’

Pisces began to formulate a plan in his mind and then on paper, using a tablet he had found to describe what he wanted to pull off, he had a series of recurring nightmares about being trapped in the aquarium while it was being flooded and there were fish mutants in said nightmares, and he did a computer generated illustration of the scenario of said nightmares, vividly adding in detail like the piranha-people and designing the mutants. He got an even bigger jolt of inspiration from a Resident Evil village poster, his favorite lord was Moreau and he loved him like he was a mentor or father figure. ‘Ooh, I know what I want to do.’

A couple of hours later he sent an invitation via email to Omega House’s members for a special gathering over at the place where the aquarium was, he always had a copy of the times-tables which contained the schedule of which animals/sea-creatures were going to be taken care of by the staff. So he worked extra hard to make sure the staff weren’t going to be short staffed and he volunteered, he looked over at the piranha tank as he began to feed some of the formula to them which in turn turned them into human/piranha habits that were stout humanoid piranha-folk with sharpened teeth. Marmalard was of course there with the others to keep an eye on things, but he had his suspicions.

“Are you up to something, Lovecraft?”

“Who? Me? Of course not. I am just making sure that my friends, both my land friends and water-born ones, are safe.”

“Nice try but I know why you brought us here.”

“What? Can’t we all have a friendly get together without something going wrong?”

“Don’t play coy with me, I know what you’re up to.”

‘I’m not playing coy with you, why would I do that…I definitely wouldn’t want to poi with you either.’ ‘Another one of your fish jokes? Now doesn’t seem like the time for those.’ ‘There’s always time for my fishy jokes, my friends like them, it’s only you and your friends that don’t, but to show i’m not going to harm you, i’ve got something I want you to do with me.’ ‘It’s not a trick is it?’ ‘Oh no…it’s no trick, all I ask is for you to help me clean this tank over here, it’s getting pretty dirty and I would hate for my fishy friends to die.’ ‘Okay fine, but this better not be a trick.’ Marmalard was known for his stubbornness and arrogance but he wasn’t stupid, well not in the typical sense, he crept over to the tank with the dirty water in it and began to put in a pipe that cleaned out the water.

“Very good. See? It’s easy.”

“Now what do I do? If you say drink the water i’ll…”

He turned around, but Pisces smirked as he pushed one of the pipes, the other which spilled some of the dirty water on Greg, he chuckled as he did so. ‘Ha! How do you like being covered in my mutagenic dirt water?’ ‘You slimy fish-obsessed bastard!’ ‘Yep, I used the mutagenic water filter kit I invented in chemistry class for this little plan. Unlike most of your guys, I paid attention and followed the recipe, I just added my own touch for spice.’ ‘When I get my hands on you…’ Pisces laughed, thinking it was hilarious that he was being threatened, that’s when Greg’s skin slowly began to deform and flake off in a few places and develop a rash that give him a reddish scaled appearance. That’s when his hands slowly started to contort and deform, altering to give them a webbed appearance while his fingernails lengthened, he panicked and screamed as pieces of his skin flaked off and landed on the floor, this made the other Omegas throw up.

‘What’s happening to Greg? What are you doing to him, you sicko?’ Mandy Pepperidge shouted. ‘I am getting back at him for all the times he has bullied me for being weird..’ she gasped in horror as spots that resembled white sand, he scratched away at it only to be met with a series of lesions that developed on his skin and his body to slowly bloat up as if he had not only eaten a lot but also made it look like he had dropsy, his skin became bumpy and also turned from its normal healthy color to gray as his whole body deformed, he also gained a number of nautical tattoos which were burned into his skin. He heard a loud crunching sound as his back slowly began to hunch over.

“I will tell Wormer about this and he will not be furious.”

“I already have plans for the others, so I wouldn’t bother trying if I was you.”

Several fleshie malformed lumps popped up all over his back, some that very much resembled humps were there too, hunching his back and making him look like he was morphing into a deformed hunchback, he tried to shake the water off but to no avail…as his stomach bloated and gained some of the same lumps on the side. One of the lumps on his back had even developed some kind of eye. He panicked and demanded that Pisces turn him back to normal but Pisces was too busy enjoying the show. ‘This is like a revenge-fic only so much better, I wouldn’t even think about changing you back.’

Greg lunged at Pisces and attempted to hit him only to fall backward once his feet slowly became webbed like his hands had as he grew up a bit in height and his shoulders deformed with a crack, he started to cough as black ooze and blood dripped out of his mouth he started to feel like he needed a lot of water as his neck swelled and gills developed on it, his ears didn’t fade away but his brown hair slowly fell away only to become tangled up in style and turning from brown to black, his normally handsome features crumbling away and deforming, his face become malformed and monstrous looking as some of his teeth fell out except for a few of them, it didn’t take him long to realize he was turning into the character Salvatore Moreau, who was Pisces’s favorite lord in the game. He begged for forgiveness only to be ridiculed by Pisces who explained to him that it was for the best.

The other Omegas were horrified about what they were witnessing, they were witnessing their normally handsome house leader becoming a fish-monster and it was horrifying them and making them violently ill at the same time. Which Bluto thought was hilarious. Greg groaned as he leaned towards the tank, as he broke down in tears. ‘I’ll do anything, please..I am super duper sorry, I will never pick on you again.’ ‘I like a person who pleads but it’s too late for you.’ Pisces walked over to him, Greg groaned as his voice altered and contorted, becoming exactly like Moreau’s voice and that’s when he started getting a head-ache, he couldn’t think straight, he had trouble remembering who he was. ‘That can’t be right, i’m not Salvatore Moreau, i’m Greg Marmalard, right? Come on guys, back me up here.’

A couple of seconds later his personality and mind warped and contorted, becoming the ones that went with his new form and look, his jeans had become a pair of gray tattered pants as his transformation had finished, he was no longer the arrogant leader of Omega House, he was the misunderstood fish-man Salvatore Moreau. Pisces began to fanboy as he adjusted his wavy brown hair, his deep blue eyes fluttering a little as he did so. ‘You’re my hero, Moreau, for all my life I have been viewed as odd and it took me a while to find a hero of my on but I have found one now and it is you, I love you.’ ‘Really? You love me? Nobody has ever said that to me before.’ ‘Well of course I do, you’re a nice fish-man and I think you’re father figure material.’

“But no one has ever loved me before.”

“Well I do..and there are quite a few fans who love you too, if not more.”

Moreau hugged Pisces and that’s when he realized he had finally found love, and that to him was a wonderful feeling. ‘Say, I work at the aquarium, would you like to have a job here?’ ‘I would like that.’ The marine biologist student showed Moreau to the aquarium’s manager who liked him so much that he hired him to be a tour guide, and thus with that a new friendship was formed and Moreau learned about what being loved truly felt like, the guests all adored him and treasured his information and they thought he was fascinating and unique, as for what happened later he finally found a way to control his transformation into his more monstrous state and even gained an anthro-ish form with the attributes of his mutated form.

Thus we come to the moral of the story, revenge is often a good prize to obtain but friendship and understanding are even better, sometimes even stories that are filled with gore, guts, revenge and tragedy can have a good side to them and may this be a lesson to all of you.
