Morph tilted his head a bit sideways. A shapeshifter? Why would he need one? He thought.
"Well," The woman's body replied to the Colonel, "I guess I'll have to wish you luck then. I haven't heard of many shapeshifters in our little world."

"You sure?" Col. Jessup asked as he dangled a bag full of jewels more valuable than gold. "If you help me out, I'll be happy to reward you handsomely." He said in his usual tone. "Mind you, if you give me false information, I won't take that lightly." He added.

Morph cast a glance at the jewellery for a moment. He then took another bite off the saté and gestured the Colonel to follow him as he turned around and made his way over to a restaurant a mere dozen yards further into the street.

The Colonel held the bag tightly as he followed the person. He wasn't sure where the "woman" was leading him, but it didn't matter. If he found a shape shifter, Morphman or not, it would be worth while.

Morph entered the restaurant, and instantly walked over to a dark, dimly lit corner of it, after having passed through a curtain and a veil of smoke and a second curtain, with both curtains cutting off sections of the restaurant. He gestured at the bench for the Colonel to sit down.
"I will return within a bit. Please be seated for now. If you wish to order something, speak to Ramone." He said with a nudge of his head into the direction of the bar, behind which a firmly postured man stood with a thick grey moustache and a balding head. The next second, Morph had gone off walking again, into the direction of a door and through it, a sign on the door indicating it lead to the restrooms.

~Why do I feel like I'm being set up?~ Col. Jessup asked himself mentally as he followed the "young woman" into the room. He sat down, and then waited for the return of his guide. ~Keep cool. What's the worst the girl can do to you--make you hold her purse?~

Not too much later, Morph returned in a quite different shape. He had taken on the likeliness of a male, this time, dressed in a grey shirt and black pants and a black coat, his eyes shaded by dark green glasses, his head adorned with red hair as a flame in the middle of a winter night. He was of near-six-feet height and sleek, fairly muscular build. An aura of dark intentions always seemed to surround him, or so he felt, when he assumed this likiness. He sat down opposite of Jessup, but not before lighting a cigarette with a spark from his fingers before he sat, blowing a small cloud of smoke out of his mouth.
"So..." he said in a tone that nearly seemed fit for a maffioso. "What is it that the sir desires?"

Col. Jessup examined the man for a moment, and then spoke. "You the shape shifter?" He asked bluntly.

"Depen's on who's-a askin'." Morph replied in the same manner as he had spoken earlier. He sniffed a bit and pressed his nose closed for a moment, and a puff of smoke exited his ear, before he let go of his nose again and sniffed again. "Keera told me the lil' things-a 'bout the two o' ya's encounter. Care to spill the story wholly from-a your points-a view?"

"No." Col. Jessup replied plainly. "My name is Col. Jessup, and I'm looking for a shape shifter." He said bluntly. "Now then, can you help me out, or not?" He asked with his usual demeanor.

"I certainly can." Morph replied. "What is it that you need one for?" He asked.

"First," Jessup started, "I need some proof." He stated. "You have to prove that you are indeed a shape shifter--I'm not about to hire some impostor." He said with his usual tone.

Morph blew out some smoke out of his mouth, then put the cigarette into the ash tray that stood upon the table, and raised a hand, placing his elbow on the table.
"Watch." He commanded. He then altered the shape of his hand, turning it into a buster cannon, a large pair of scissors, a hammer, and a flyswatter, in that order, before changing it back to a normal hand. After that, he leaned back in his chair.

Col. Jessup watched with apathy as the man transformed his hand into different objects. "No offense, but I'm not impressed." He stated. "Are you about to change your entire appearance?" He questioned.

Morph sighed, smoke coming out of his mouth, and shook his head. He shapeshifted into the Colonel, and replied, "Are you about to stop doubting my abilities?" He questioned.
