[ Angel Devil. ] [ chatcube, or action. ] [ if you're visiting the rose barn, look for the door with the creepy bat-and-angel-wing sigil on it. Knock first! Or get zapped. ]
If we're both resolved to keep our feet planted for the duration, I suppose I should put a little more effort toward toppling our resident canid tyrant... what a hassle.
The first time I used Daze... it felt like my insides were burning up. It was...
... easy. I'd never attempted it before - [ never wanted to do it ] - but it came as naturally as breathing. I couldn't stop. I could have kept it up forever. And I wanted to tear out my own heart doing it.
[ he couldn't stop being fire. that shared dream had been accurate enough, for a fantasy. ]
When I thought I'd lost that ability here, part of me was... glad.
[ if he'd cone to life as just another Genome like every other that happened to have a soul, there goes all that grand destiny. ]
I mean, I realized swiftly that Gaia basically belonged to me, and if I didn't act like it, I'd lose it. And... look at little Milord Sunshine. The only times I see him acting alert are when it's requisite of him.
If you don't have the hammer, The window stops being just another door.
...A harmless stray cat really can do anything he likes.

And, well... you are very good at flying.

Date: 2024-02-27 12:08 am (UTC)I can still do it. The skill has more restrictions on it than it does back home, but if the target is fully alive and fully an animal...
