[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.

even so, doesnt it mean something if some of the changes have disappeared on their own/

[firstsoldier]

Of course, but not so much that we should at any point become complacent and assume we will be returned to our normal.

[The one time she tries to be optimistic...]

well be in trouble if they dont
at best wed end up in as an attraction in a zoo

[firstsoldier]

[Sephiroth is not the man to ever speak to if someone wants optimism. He is fatalism embodied and calls it being 'rational'.]

Or set loose to wander the wilds with the rest of the beasts. There are plenty to be had out here.

i was referring to once we returned home

i cant let my family see me like this

[firstsoldier]

[The response takes time this time, as he sits in his truck and stares at the little printout in text with utter bafflement.]

Has anyone 'returned home' yet?

[discolouredwings]

i dont know
but i have to get back

my daughter needs me

[She knows how it sounds. And she's talked enough to others to know they were clueless but.]

if we were brought here, there has to be a way back

[firstsoldier]

Though far from ideal, it may be easier to try to summon her here, as we know summoning works but not necessarily as a two way conduit.

This is not an ideal location but you would be together.

[The texts hadn't been particualy quick to begin with, but there's a noticeable delay for this one.]

i think if that were the case it'd be best to leave her instead of bringing her to this place.
she has her whole life ahead of her.

[firstsoldier]

As do you.

A child needs its parents. Even a monster tends its chicks.

[discolouredwings]

i know that


but its better she stays with her father instead of coming to a strange and dangerous place like this

[firstsoldier]

May he prove worthy of that certainty.
