[Iiiit's .. text.]

In the interest of clarity for new arrivals, myself among them, I have a few questions that may seem blatantly obvious to everyone who's been here longer.

Am I understanding correctly that many of us here are being transformed into something else, much like the rain's temporary effects had on us recently?

Is this likely to happen to everyone?

Does it have anything to do with the brands we have been given? 'Runes'

Does anyone know how to repair a broken driver's side window for a M939 truck?

Finally, if you are obviously nonhuman, changed or naturally so, please leave a note as to what you look like so I know you are considered an ally and not an active threat.

Given the creatures that attacked in the storm, and earlier messages suggesting they may have once 'been like us', I do not wish to make a mistake.

If it would help you feel more secure and less likely to attack, I will do so.

ok yeah sure
lets hear it

[firstsoldier]

You already know what 'human' is, but for the sake of the exercise:

Adult male furless primate-derivative, gray hair, green eyes, pale skin. Approximately six and a half feet tall, approximately three hundred pounds. Ordinarily clad in black clothing.

[Dang, that's taller than Raph.]

thank you

well personally I look like the coolest guy youve ever seen so im easy to spot

but if you want specifics

redeared slider, five foot five, no clothes but im workin on it, blue mask and a sword

[firstsoldier]

Ah. I wrote to your sibling earlier. I greatly anticipate seeing if you are in fact the coolest guy I've ever seen.

I feel yourself and your brother are at least utterly distinctive enough to say with some surity I will do no harm, even in chaotic circumstances.

[faceguy]

oh nice
did he tell you he was the nerdiest guy you've ever seen?

thanks
ill try to do no harm to you too

[firstsoldier]

He did not. He is fond of games? Or are those considered cool.

That's the best anyone can hope for, I think.

[faceguy]

he loves games
but thats not what makes him a nerd because that's cool

[Leo is from the generation where video games are no longer a niche hobby.]

its because he loves science
hell drone on about it for hoooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurs

[firstsoldier]

[..Scientists. On one hand, they do need a few on hand to figure out all the astronomy stuff going on, on the other hand.. scientists.]

I'll take that as a warning to not get into too much of a scientific discussion with him, I don't know if I have hours to spend.

[faceguy]

good call
