"You mean you aren't a monkey? um...
But anyway, no! I'm not a reptilian anything!"

[Harry Baldman]

"You mean you aren't a monkey? um...
But anyway, no! I'm not a reptilian anything!"

"I'm even less of a monkey than a chimpanzee, so yes. And what are you, then, if not a reptilian overlord?"

[Lenglon]

I look down uneasily.
"Um... I... I... I don't like answering that question. people get all weird when I do that, and try to take advantage of me all the time."

[Harry Baldman]

"Um... I... I... I don't like answering that question. people get all weird when I do that, and try to take advantage of me all the time."

"Then I have no other choice than to assume that you are indeed a reptilian overlord, do I?"

[Lenglon]

"But I'm not! aren't there lots of other things you could assume too? You're just being mean because you know you're bugging me!"

[Harry Baldman]

"But I'm not! aren't there lots of other things you could assume too? You're just being mean because you know you're bugging me!"

"That is most incorrect! I assume that you're a reptilian overlord simply because you smell a lot like one should. Can you shapeshift, by any chance?"

Zechariah was amused at the conversations taking place. This wasn't THAT bad after all. He took a sip of apple juice from his plastic rectangular flask bag. It was indeed good.

It was also good that these people get friendly with each other. That made it easier to work together under times of stress. He'll probably even get more friendly with Jordan later if he forgot the mercenary fact.

And Angel was, of course, a nice girl. The... the reptile and the three-tailed people weren't bad either.
Zechariah just hoped that everything would go smoothly. Knowing the terror of this game, though, it wouldn't be smooth at all.

"Um, mine works differently than most..."

[Harry Baldman]

"Um, mine works differently than most..."

"How so?"

[Lenglon]

"well, um, most true shapechangers use biochemical energy to release a series of enzymes that react with their base genetic code to reverse the differentiation of the majority of their cells then re-differentiate them based on either an imprinted or aquired secondary genetic sequence, right? Well, um, instead I use an affinity resonance to react with environmental thermal energy and convert through it from one recorded state into another. It works completely different!"

"Both of those sound like stupid sciency word-things meant to try and explain what is clearly voodoo magic, so it sounds rather the same to me either way."

[Lenglon]

"But it's not! I don't make myself into some icky, gooey mass of EWWW while I'm changing! they do!"

[Harry Baldman]

"But it's not! I don't make myself into some icky, gooey mass of EWWW while I'm changing! they do!"

"Instead you're a nasty, blinding fog of OWWW, I assume?"

[Lenglon]

"HEY! that's not nice! and it's not my fault if you don't know that fire is hot! I didn't make you or anything!"

"Does the difference between your shapeshifting technique and other shapeshifters have any difference when things come to shove, though? I doubt whether or not you're forming into a gas or an organic mass really matters practically. I generally find that differences in magic technique are all well and good, but really all that matters is practicality. It's like asking whether a baseball bat breaks people's bones or snaps them: there's no difference, it's just factoids. Besides, most shapeshifters I've dealt with usually modify their auric signature to fit their needs. Though generally that means you can only modify yourself so much before you snap back to your usual shape."
