This has been a long time coming, but change can be difficult at times, as you all know. While things may be thrust upon us, out of our consent and control, there are still things only we can choose to do.

I discovered, some time ago, that the sword I carried is more of a tool than a weapon; most of us rely on those teleporter devices. I no longer have to. A quick walk through what I can only describe as a strange landscape, and I am a hundred miles away- albeit not just anywhere. My range appears to be dedicated to our already-known boundaries, though I am experimenting with them.

I'll be focusing on such for the next while. [he hesitates here, not quite sure how to continue, then goes on anyway] Should anyone need assistance with transport, I would be pleased to test myself with them as I explore just what this old body is capable of.

And before anyone asks, no, I don't believe that this is another me. I haven't even seen one of the sort, but I'll gladly take any information if someone's seen me beside myself.

((OOC; no, Elian doesn't have a dopple. but he's aware of them, hence the comments. c: doubles are welcome, though!))

[Julien is bitter other people have cooler echoes. 'At least I can fly' makes him feel better except when remembering all the people who can do that and still climb stairs and use their whole hands.]

I'm just in a mood. Don't mind me.

[wastingtime]

[hmm]

Is there perhaps something I might do to help?

[espigeonage]

idk.

If we meet can you not go 'You're a bird'? I know why I get to hear it all the time but I'm really sick of it rn.

[wastingtime]

If we meet, I cannot promise that I may not be surprised, but I can promise you that I shall make no comments on your visage nor any deriding comments. And that includes jokes.

[espigeonage]

I'll hold you to that.

And don't pet me either.

[wastingtime]

If you have a beak, you have my permission to pe

[he actually writes that - then draws a few lines through it. OKAY, NO, HE THINKS THAT MIGHT COUNT]

Duly noted.

[espigeonage]

I do have a beak now. Haven't pecked anyone yet, though, I don't know where they've been!
