Well?

Wanna drive?

[ score one for the angel devil doing stupid mind games to assert dominance while also literally lending his body out ]

[ the satisfaction lasts until about the fifth annoying wobble jolt as she sort-of brakes but not quite. he's getting kind of nauseous. he takes back the reigns about thirty feet from them eating dirt, and bringing them to a successful, though imperfect landing, having to do a lil decelleration cooldown walk on the tail end ]

[wants_the_phd]

Ha, ha...

I see the question I should have asked was, are you that eager to look like a complete moron who can't control his own powers.

[finalbows]

Hmph~.

[ those hmphs come with a matching tail lash, turns out. ]

There's not a soul in this pasture that doesn't understand I'm a master of the arcane. If they see me stumble, they don't question MY ability, but the circumstance.

But... feeling you sink or swim isn't a treasure I get to have every day.

[wants_the_phd]

I feel like that would be more exciting if I were naturally good at these things. Where's the excitement of taking someone down a peg when they're already at the bottom of the pegboard?

[finalbows]

Cast that Float spell again now that we're on the ground.

[wants_the_phd]

...

...Well now I almost don't want to.

How 'bout you teach me telepathy, instead?

1/2

[finalbows]

I can't.

2/2

[finalbows]

Well, I could, actually, it's also a spell and all, but it would be a waste of your time, seeing as you can already do it and there's not really much teaching to DO.

But if you haven't figured it out already...
Maybe we just need to get you in the right circumstance and it'll happen.

[SHE'S BEEN ABLE TO DO IT THIS WHOLE TIME......]




I need a guide for what features come standard with a function ball.

What do I have to do to access the database of information you let me play with that one time when we were fixing your body?

[give her Crystalpedia Right Now]

[finalbows]

I suspect your brain -- as in, the organ -- is getting in your way. Maybe if you compromised its function you'll start listening to your new, other one more~?

[wants_the_phd]

I'd like to believe I'm currently using that organ, so I'd rather not, thank you.

Perhaps you could show me how you do it?

[finalbows]

[ he thinks about the exact design of the seal of Terra, which they get to mentally admire together for a minute.

It feels exactly like thinking, but with a noticeable few moments of latency where you know you know something but can't recall any of the solid details at all. ]

Ta-da. There's how I do it. Not very helpful, yes? There's a reason an important part of daily life in Bran Bal was to do things to stimulate recall.

[wants_the_phd]

What kind of things?

Like routines, or something else?

[finalbows]

Well, they'd mostly amble around mumbling trivia to one another. But we could make you...

Some flashcards?

[wants_the_phd]

...

[wants_the_phd]

[Palpable internal sigh]

Some flashcards.



...Fine. When we get back.

[finalbows]

Just think, you're the only person to ever live to have the intended experience of inheriting one of these when your mind was already well formed...! Look at all these beautiful, glaring oversights in the grand design! Ah, I never get tired of finding flaws in the old Big Plan.

[wants_the_phd]

Surely there must have been some kind of orientation planned for people who were getting slapped into their vessels through the intended route, compared to... however it was I was made.

...

Fuck that's still so weird to think about. Am I still zmeu?

[finalbows]

Isn't categorizing lifeforms your thing? How do you like to count it? By your genome, you're not a Genome. But by the origin of that body, you're as much of one as they come! Hee, hee. Indeed... I think the best word for what you are now is a riddle, or maybe a conundrum. That's not even getting into the nature of limbus, and of my own many resurrections before I even came here...

[ evil happy tail wiggles ]

How's it feel? Residing in a copy of a copy of a copy!

[ what do they call schadenfreude but for an experience you are also elated to not be alone in. He's having that one ]

1/2

[wants_the_phd]

...Maybe putting a name to it doesn't really matter.

The important thing is that, despite everything, I'm still me.

[wants_the_phd]

Well. Right now I'm also you.

[finalbows]

Which feels different than I expected, by the by. This really is... a uniquely Rose power.
