Hmm. Well, since whatever body we use is going to be undead anyway, the snake could still work. Get a dead venomous snake and inject whatever substance we're using into it. This presumably wouldn't be harmful to the body, because it's already dead anyway. Only issue is getting a snake which can carry enough venom without being too conspicuous.

Another option would be using a rodent body and just carrying the payload on its back or something. But a rat with a syringe tied to its back would be pretty noticeable, I'd think.

And then, maybe there's weirder options. Animate a moth doused in anesthetic and fly into someone's snoring mouth? That would almost certainly result in the death of that body, and I'm not sure how well our soul fits into something that small. Maybe it's workable if we're a rodent body and the moth is a puppet? It's not like we're forced to rely only on our swapping power, so puppets are on the table. Puppet hawk carrying us in the form of a rat, in turn carrying a puppet moth?

Sounds like a good plan, where to get anesthetics?
Don’t say these r act words, I worded them badly

[King Zultan]

Lets go with that plan, and we can get the anesthetics from a hospital.

Test how fast we can switch bodies. Could we switch bodies if someone is about to harm us? I'm thinking, we don't know what happens if the body we're in gets harmed. We don't know if we have a core or something like that. So it might be best to leave a body the moment things get too dangerous.

[King Zultan]

That's probably a good think to know before we go out and start using it.

You test this a few times. You think you can switch bodies within maybe a second or two. Distance doesn't seem to matter in terms of how fast the switch is either.

"If you want to use a snake, we should use one native to that area. I'll check out whats out there and get us a specimen.  As per the anesthetic, I think I can get hold of some from a University hospital near here...I'm not technically allowed to have it but I'll have access to where its kept and I'm pretty sure I can smuggle it out without being caught. Its not exactly high security over there."

She turns to go then returns to you for a moment.

"You might want to think about exactly what you're gonna tell her and what you want her to tell you. Even with the body of a guard, you probably don't want to spend more than maybe 5 minutes in her cell; there's really no legitimate reason a lone guard would hang out with a prisoner for long.  Maybe even just slip her a list of questions and an explanation and come back for them? She may also try to get you to break her out in exchange for those  answers.  I dunno. Point is that you gotta go in there prepared for more than just the infiltration; the quicker you get the info and get out, the better."

She turns and leaves. "I'll be back in a few hours, hopefully with everything we need. You think about how you want to handle the rest."

[Dunamisdeos]

If we need to plant the body, make it somewhere out of sight, and at night (fell off the roof out of sight, or something). Maybe drink some alcohol first.

That way the body is cold because its cold at night.

[Naturegirl1999]

 We still need to discuss what info we are trying to get

[Dunamisdeos]

My vote is let's do a prison heist.

Gather info with the express intent of busting her out.

[Egan_BW]

Eh. Why not just murder her and take ALL the information?

[Naturegirl1999]

Because she’s also gainer the government, which is why she’s in prison

[Egan_BW]

Honestly, we have no idea as to her motivations at the moment. If we just absorbed her memories, we wouldn't have to bother keeping her alive, AND we would be 100% sure of whatever we learn.

[Superdorf]

I'd be concerned about arcane surveillance. Corpses are... conspicuous.

[Dunamisdeos]

I mean, my previous suggestion should be tempered with the idea that if she is some kind of unstable psycho that legit needs to be in prison, we should feel free to eat her mind and scoot on out of there.

But she could be a powerful ally. Depending on the amount of work she did with Alexander we could also learn more about ourselves, or conduct research thereof.

Keep in mind our memory absorption is imperfect. We would gain the technicalities, but having a trained researcher or whatever she is with expertise in the field of necromancy could be invaluable.

[Egan_BW]

We seem to have absorbed three whole lifetimes just fine. Even if we didn't gain everything in perfect detail, we would be gaining a whole lot of information, so reliable that it will feel like our own life.
