You four want a mission together, or you wanna chill at the base a while longer??
@Floatcat - Embarassment is no reason to give up (yet)! Lets try it again! To Floatcat form!
((mixing Giant Frost Cat and floaty is one of those later experiments with practical applications. this one is groundwork that will probably have little use until later.))
At what size do I begin floating?
Her dad's traits, her forms bleeding through, generic fey traits, sensitivity to Fey things, anything like any of that, or even other changes to her body and default form. Heh, is she growing fairy wings?
While Aylia was in Star Sprite form on Omega base, she'd have gained some perspective regarding its location because of the nature of Star Sprite form. Where is it? some extradimentional pocket? would explain all the teleportation...
That (1) drained your transformational energy. As a result, you had to wait a day before trying again. (6) this time, you get a rather furry pufferfishesque shape. You float at about twice frostcat's normal dimensions, only spherical. Legs stick out to the sides and are rather useless, and no tentacles. Your mouth unhinges, so you can at least fit more in there at a time, but overall, this form is rather awkward and seemingly useless.
(3) You can't tell if they are your dad's traits or not, but your features have sharpened over the time you've been here. Fingers are thinner, waist narrower, eyes slightly tilted.
(3) mmm. Yes, traces of your forms are bleeding over. Skin hardening, some hints of downy fur, a greenish tint around the eyes.
(?) how would you even test Fey sensitivity? Are you getting more bound to tradition, ritual, and conceptual archetypes? Which ones?
() She is not growing fairy wings, though Bluebell form has those.
Star Sprite form tends to view distances in a very peculiar way. "All is connected, all is near. yet some things are distant. Omega feels distant, but it is remarkably close to some places. From your experiences with transportation, you get the sense that Omega could be a particular location inside Fey, bound on all sides by the unknowable - the fog, darkness, or emptiness of unexplored thought forming an impenetrable barrier around the hard and known spot that is Omega - an island of reality in a sea of chaos. But, in Star Sprite form, you don't see any chaos at the edges of Omega. It feels more like ... well, You've never experienced any actual stars in Star Sprite form, so you really have nothing to compare it to, except Sky and Lathal. it's like Lathal, except without anything else around, and not a sphere, but a plane. Ground is down, sky is up, the cardinal directions are out, Omega is in.
((I was afraid it might be lethal because when he rolled a one, he crumbled the metal into a ball. If he accidentally did that while shaping it on his body... well, I visualized a soft fruit being squeezed hard.))
Happy with his success, Dar will test the new armor out, taking a short run and jump with it on, while still in metal form. How encumbering is it?
Regardless of the answer, he'll remain in metal form and head down to the base of the canyon, and look around for where the moss was left.
((He'd probably go looking for Noir at this point, but Abstract seems to be AWOL...))
((Even though you were worried about this killing you before the crumpling, that explanation makes sense, so consider me enlightened.)) The armor is a tad bulky. Dar's natural jumping, dodging, and stealth are halved while wearing it. Too, his normal druidic talents are limited, though his Lathalian powers are enhanced, or at least freed from some restriction.
I don't even remember where the moss was put. Consider it planted in some viable location, watered, and still in "freshly transplanted plant" mode.
((You called? Sorry I've been busy! Lots of shit been happening lodt my uncle two days ago and I've hsd a bad week.))
Noir had been lost in thiught for a few moemnts after talking with the girl and kinda rubs their head. They supposed...this was a nice place. Maybe some meditation would do her good.
Let's do some meditation.
intelligence -2, memory -2, will +1. (5) You clear your mind of all thought.
"Reply: This one sees your point. This one supposes the nature of the missions is useful for weeding out the weak and incompetent.
Query: So what will you be doing around here, now that the asylum is completed? Got a permanent position in the asylum or something?"
Chilling out, maxing and relaxing all cool
"Well, no, not exactly. I do have a certain set of useful skills for dealing with madness and magical chaos, though, so, in addition to my other duties, I do oversee the general operations of the asylum. But that is secondary. My primary role is in operations. Basically, I make sure the day to day tasks that keep this place running are done. And, of course, I am still an active duty operative, so I can get called out on mission at the whim of the Captains. it keeps me pretty busy, but I like to find time to do nothing, too. I find that a lot gets done just as well without me sticking my meddling nose into it" *laughter* "So, sometimes I poke around in the various departments for a day or two just to remind people that I still exist, and make them thankful that I generally leave them alone ot do their jobs." *Grin*
