...Hello.

 

[ As Alisaie appears on-camera, she has more horns - a third coming up from the top of her head, matching her others - golden and pure black scales around the edges of her face. Large, dragon-esque wings lay behind her - she's changed, but she keeps a normal expression. It oddly... feels okay to her. ]

 

I... apologize for my outburst before. But I did not leave the population - I am in another city. And...

 

...those who came here before us have not changed like us. I have watched, tried to influence.

[ And they remained like they were. Not becoming a Primal like her - Alisaie has realised her body is remaining rather... normal. ]

 

Has anybody else altered more? We need to see if there are similarities between these alterations. If there is a way to figure them out. I think I will remain in this city for a while. It... is old.

 

((Feel free to threadjack and just use this as a mingle.))

so much text only

There are similarities

But your colors are different than mine

Have you lost more? Is control improving or getting worse?

[ Alisaie switches to text - and a private text, at that. ]

I cannot feel my Aether anymore - as if the connection is severed. And I cannot hear the desires of the beast you saw - of Bahamut.

However, I am afraid to admit this over a public network. I have been gaining strange memories, of the era Bahamut was said to live in. I think, due to this...

I may be becoming the Dreadwyrm Bahamut, in mind alongside my alterations. Would that Urianger were here to quell my fears - or even my brother.

My brother who cursed me to this fate - even his face would calm me.

[It takes a while for Broly to message directly instead of on the other one, but he manages. Eventually. And it takes quite a while to write.]

Do you feel YOUR desires changing too or just your body and dreams?

You still write intelligently. The beast you became couldn't even speak. Fearing something you are gives it power and makes it harder to control even when that something is part of us

But I think in this sort of thing it is okay to be afraid. None of this is how it should be.

I don't think I'll be able to write soon. But I think I'll still be me under this layer of armor. Practice what makes you yourself. What you love and know it was you loving it and not the teeth and fire.

Controlling a beast is easy if you can keep intelligence. Maybe Bahamut will become Alisaie instead.

[ Alisaie doesn't mind the long pauses - she can assume something bad has happened. Of course it has. ]

Is it not the same result? I am gone. The details of the duty I was to hold was to be a secret, but I trust you. That, and it will not be revealed to those who could mis-use it.

While Lord Bahamut could not speak though his own body, he could give his will to my grandfather and the fallen Emperor both. From that will, we learned of a being who had been trapped for thousands of years, losing any feeling but anger. Is it not unfair that the dragons are ones who are seen as enemies, when Man did such a thing?

Measuring desires is something hard, I must admit - since I am not with those who know me, I could say I've not altered mentally. But that would be a lie. As stated above, I feel sorrow where I felt none before.

[ A second message comes, after a long thought. ]

I will not ask to learn of your changes, if they are things you. But if you desire companionship, I can come to wherever you reside. If our alterations are similar, perhaps you can keep me in check.

[maximumest]

Not the same.

Who you are isn't what you are.

My father also wanted others to pay for the crimes of people long dead. For a while I thought it was a good idea too but killing the Prince because of the King seems stupid when you think about it long enough. Killing him won't change anything or even make it feel better, a dead Prince won't bring back a world, or even one life.

Your other form is not wise. Or maybe your other form is like me in that at the moment of rage any excuse will do to make it seem okay to destroy. It's okay to want to destroy things just to destroy them. Things need to get broken sometimes.

It is also okay to be sad for things gone. I don't think that's a change. You seemed to feel that way about people before too.

I don't know if I can keep anyone in check as I am. These scales are hardly tougher than normal metal and my control of ki is failing. Fire doesn't seem a good substitute. I am badly deformed.

But there is a man who is showing some of the local ways of power since mine don't work. Maybe in that is a way to control your counterpart, and my own, before I lose my thumbs and can't type on this thing anymore.
