A lot of people here keep talking about it. No one takes the next step and DOES it.
Yes, I'm sure it's difficult to find blues rock in the country that gave us Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones
Oh, being a rock star is a new life's ambition, then? Happened when you came to the university?
You'd be surprised at how many people can't refrain from making innuendos.
And there may be something for you under there, if you were good this past year.
Well, don't worry if it's close. I'm informed that he checks the list twice to avoid issues.
With all those viruses flying around? I think not. I caught one once, I couldn't breathe through my nose for three weeks and I kept blurting out private information.
They are when you catch one and then shift back to human.
You'd be surprised how some of these things translate from form to form. Some of it is fairly one-to-one , but a lot of it works on a more metaphorical level. Very interesting stuff.
I work in surprisingly unusual ways.
That time, actually, I ended up going to get steam-cleaned. A little bit of an extravagance, I know, but sometimes, you've just got to splurge to take care of yourself, you know?
Oh, it's quite simple. A problem which shows up as a technical virus on a computer is really just damage, right? That damage gets translated along with the rest of me as I shift. That's why it shows up as a cold when I'm a human, and a large stain as a pair of shorts. It might be a misfiring piston in an engine, or a dead limb on a tree or a burnt edge of a steak. It's the ~problem~ that translates, not necessarily the specifics.
Same reason why I won't be starving to death when I shift back. I'm drinking up the water in the pot, and that nourishes me. It would also, like, be the level of gas I had if I shifted into a sportscar. Once you understand the metaphors behind things, the specifics follow surprisingly logically.
At the same time, you CAN regenerate. And like we discussed that one time, maybe one day you'll be able to do more.
Heck, penicillin came from a spore, right? Maybe you'll develop the cure for the common everything.
And don't think I have an easy out for everything -- that stuff can get wedged in pretty deep, on a psychological level. There's no end to the complications that can happen, and shifting sometimes just makes it worse. You may remember when I was all chromed up earlier this year, and I barely managed to get back to the dorms after we took down the alien at your father's shindig. Had I been a little slower, or not been found, I might have just been an unidentifiable stain on the ground.
Not a bad vacation, but not something you want to get stuck in, no.
Helps to know a friendly neighborhood telepath who might check in now and again to make sure you're not getting too wooden.
I've got more horror stories than you can shake a stick at. These aren't the sorts of things I talk about in day one of "so you think you're a shifter
It'd be mostly what I talked to you about that day in the danger room, but maybe I'll poke ASHLIE about it.
I don't think every shifter thinks about things the same way I do, though.
Well, maybe that's why I'm the best shifter in the world, and everyone else is number two. Or lower.
If you find one, send 'em to me. I've got the experience factor and the edge; ain't no one gonna beat me in a shifting competition.
