Mike will imagine himself a face and hands but try to keep the ability to fly.

[Harry Baldman]

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike tries to imagine himself a human face and hands!

[Imagination roll: 1-1]

He tries to think of a face. Well, what better face to use than his own? He concentrates on the image of his own face!

Only there is no image. What did he look like? Is it so easy to forget one's own looks? Can a man forget his own image in but a few days?

Mike begins to panic. If he does not know himself, what is to become of him? It's quite a philosophical quandary. Will he eventually forget his own name? His own personality? All that he has done?

The fear he feels has a very noticeable outward effect - Mike's chest splits open vertically all the way up to his head and continuing on to his back. The edges distance themselves from each other, showcasing the many rows of bony spines and hooks that seem to have appeared inside!

Mike notices an interesting thing - he now seems to be able to open up vertically, forming a snapping maw of teeth! However, that's not all. His wings also twist into new forms, becoming... eyestalks? The eyestalks, which are now the only eyes he has, seem to large and rather beastly-looking. He seems to have also lost every feather on his body, and of his old form only scaly, taloned feet remain, though they have multiplied in number quite a bit, forming branching, knotted legs that make no sense whatsoever!

One of the people around the room, a six-legged giant cat, to be precise, looks at him nonchalantly.

"Ooh, bad transformation. I've been there myself. Tough luck, kid. Hope next time goes better."

[miauw62]

Mike will calm down and look around the room for somebody with a face and imagine himself that fac, then he will keep calm and imagine himself some hands.

[Harry Baldman]

Mike looks for someone in the room with a face!

[Perception roll: ?]

He sees a man with a face! Okay, imagining now...

Wait, his face changed. It's now completely different! This isn't helping!

Alright, he looks stable. No, wait, he changed gender. What is wrong with this guy? Er, gal.

[Concentration roll: 1]

Mike goes into even more of a panic and tries to make something up on the fly!

[Imagination roll: 1-1-1]

He imagines the face of the little girl he possessed! It now floats near him, crying tears of blood, yet laughing somehow!

"You're a failure, Mike! You killed me, and you destroyed my town! You murdered my family, you murdered everyone! Why did you kill everyone, Mike? Why?"

She keeps floating around Mike, repeating the word "why" incessantly, adding a new layer of reproach each time!

"Whoa, man, looks like you've got problems. I've lived here for years and I ain't seen that happen yet."

Driven to curiosity by the little girl's voice, people are starting to stare at Mike.

[miauw62]

Mike will concentrate, telekinetically smash that face into the wall and imagine the face of that bastard Bernie.

[Harry Baldman]

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike needs to focus! He must not let the girl get to him, no matter how much she cries blood!

[Concentration roll: 1]

Damn it all, how does she manage to put that much reproach into a single word? Even Mike's heart, which is reputedly made of steel and mischief with a dash of pure evil, can't help but feel slightly guilty! He reluctantly tries to smash the face against the wall!

[Telekinesis roll: 1-2]

He stops midway in his attempt and thinks - why is he trying to smash the girl's head into the wall? She's right, you know! Mike is a monster! He deserves to be punished! He lifts himself up, feeling all righteous, then smashes himself into the ground full-force!

[Endurance roll: 4]

He feels a lot of pain, but does not seem to have horribly injured himself! That's the best kind of penance, Mike finds.

[miauw62]

Mike will pass out from the pain!
((It's funny how you can start to panic yourself when your character panics.))

[Harry Baldman]

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike realizes that the best idea right now would be to pass out from his not-inconsiderable pain, or have a pain-nap, as he likes to call it.

[Pain-nap roll: 3]

He closes his eyes and relaxes a bit, although the constant "WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY" sound makes it somewhat difficult to rest at all! He keeps turning and snapping at the noise, but it does not stop. That little girl sure is a pain.

[Resting roll: 2-1]

He twists and turns constantly, then gets up. Well, he's not getting any pain-napping done while that face is still there.

[miauw62]

Mike will tell it to shut the fuck up because he's trying to sleep.

[Harry Baldman]

Near the Fountain of Visions...

Mike, not one to forgive a rude awakening, attempts to kindly inform the head that shutting the fuck up is in its best interest.

[Speaking roll: 3]

He finds that a spine does not make a good replacement for a tongue.

"GHAKH! SHUTTAKUTAP!"

[Face reaction roll: 5]

It looks at Mike for a few seconds, then begins to laugh! The girl is honestly, truly laughing! As it stops crying, it begins to slowly dissipate until it is but a vague echo in Mike's memory. How fortunate for him!

[miauw62]

Mike will sleep.

[Harry Baldman]

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike decides to get some sleep, what with the traumatic experiences he just had.

[Resting roll: 6]

He falls into a very, very deep sleep. Only a moment seems to pass as he lies on the ground, closes his eyes, then opens them again.

Looks like he's in Yellowglen. How strange!

[Perception roll: ?]

He does notice another peculiarity: nobody seems to be around! Nobody at all!

[miauw62]

Mike will go to the orchard and pick up his stuff.

[Harry Baldman]

In Yellowglen...

Mike shrugs and goes to the orchard to pick up the stuff that he left on one of his previous corpses.

He gets to the orchard. It looks to be doing very poorly. Most of the trees seem to have been cut down, as Mike counts less than half of what he saw when he was previously here. He proceeds to the corpse.

Well, the corpse looks just about how he left it. In more ways than one, actually. The head is still split wide open and the robes look quite tattered and weathered. He pokes the corpse with his spine and flips it over, then tries to check its pockets.

It still has the globe and the box, plus some silver coins Mike could have sworn weren't there before. And a magic map as well, just like the one Monty was carrying. How fortunate!

[Firelordsky]

Get out of here and head back to Bernie.
