On so many matters...

[themodestone]

I know you're really excited about all these potential castmates for me, but really? I think you're counting chickens before they hatch. [A sigh.] It'd be nice to have an Al again, though. Even stuck in that body.

Anyway, all this hype means you're thinking about games again, real games. What I don't understand is why you're suddenly thinking about putting me there. The other place you had in mind is interesting enough, isn't it? I like my soul where it is, okay? This isn't some freaky comic book.

You were supposed to bring a canon version to that game with her. Yeah, so she might not app again with so much already on her plate, and there's Animorphs there already. I know that makes it more tempting, but you know what I'm not cool with? All this lion talk, for one. If you do send me there, you're not making me a girl!

Besides, Al needs me. Who else is going to make excuses about him being busy all the time? They'll notice if I'm gone.

Just. Forget it.

[ Oh so curious, she has to admit. ]

You could always morph, you know. To feel like all of you's in one place again, if it freaks you out that badly.

[themodestone]

What, do you come back together during a morph? [Not that that's any more reassuring, honestly.]

I'm more worried about how my brother's going to handle his situation without me... And this bull shit about turning me into a girl!

[whatsupcroc]

Yep! You and your daemon, together as one. Feels kind of weird, and you can still feel him -- or her -- the whole time, but it's cool! It's a cool kind of weird.

[ Yes, Collette, you sell this so well! ]

I happen to have it on good authority that being a girl is pretty awesome, so I don't know. Not like you'd remember being a boy!

[Just. Keywords.]

I can turn into animals, one of my best friends is an alien, and my brother's a kitten. You'd think by now I'd be used to weird...

Yeah, well my writer doesn't need another 'alternate' version of me either. There has to be a limit somewhere. [He is not happy about her having a point that the female him wouldn't even know any different.]

Turning me into a girl just so I can have a male daemon is cheap, though! I'm not a girl, the- role I fill in from your universe isn't a girl either. There isn't any sense behind it, it's like it just amuses them!

[whatsupcroc]

Eeeeeugh don't make me talk for my player! Your role would change as a lady, you know. The specifics, how people treat and interact with you, it's not a simple thing! I mean yeah, it's simple for us, now, being male for an hour or so if I really want to, but imagine growing up entirely the opposite sex!

... Woah that would be way weird! [ Imagining how this would work out and totally not seeing it in her head. Being female is so part of who she is, it's hard to consider with any depth. ]
