audio (after shield is repaired and things are settling down at the end of the area)

[ Vincent isn't one to mince words. The message is relatively short and precise given its content. ]

We are all changing.

[ Yes. That is correct, Valentine. ]

The marks that appear are connected. But the changes are different even when two people seem to be becoming the same type of monster.

Contact me with the changes you are experiencing and the sigil's appearance. I will make a record.

Deliver it however you wish. Your thoughts on the changes are welcome.

[ He's definitely writing all this down. ]

Chimera, hm. You mentioned you were among the first group to arrive. I know temporary changes happen. Tell me about what you experienced and the environment it occurred in.

[undyingcrow]

Hmm... Well, my initial changes occurred in the heat of battle, not long after I arrived. In that time, I obtained the aforementioned talons.

[A small, simple change, but no less striking.]

In the following month, a Moon Warp occurred, and my entire body transformed. That's how I knew to anticipate the feathers, horns, ears, snout, wings, paws, and even a more bestial form that I could shift in and out of. I could also breathe fire.

When the Moon Warp ended, only the talons and my sharpened teeth remained. The following changes gradually occurred over the following months, and I suspect that once these more aquatic changes subside, my "intended" transformation will resume.

[coffinturk]

You're saying a Moon Warp has induced a full transformation of what you're changing into?

[ They do a variety of things but Vincent's own experience was more a berserker rage at the tower; he'd been chimerical and in no true state of mind to recall. This one was mentioned as earlier than the thorn scrub. ]

Hm. I suppose it was too much to expect to see a pattern this early.

[ His tone is as dry as his comment was an understatement of the daunting task. ]

I know about Jayce's records. Do you know if anyone else started a record like this one?

[ With the traits themselves, rather than the sigils and signs. ]

[undyingcrow]

That was my experience during my first Moon Warp.

[Of course, that was just the one. Obviously, it's differed since. There's no singular, guaranteed pattern. No method to the madness.]

I'm not sure if anyone's made a record of our changes, but I have been gathering information regarding this world, our circumstances, and the history that led to this point.
