I can be subtle. I'm built to be an inconspicuous influencer. No one will even know that any mind alteration is going on.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I should stop trying to be funny, shouldn't I?

...Huh?

"Oh no! ...I wonder if Nikki knows something..."

Angel hops off the bed and covers Selina with a cloth that expands over both of them.
(Cado, you have a chance to not have Selina transported to the TA universe for attempted healing.)

"Um..." Angel is confused. She gently kicks Yuri, trying to tap her on the shoulder with her foot.

"Um, not a gas. Thermal energy, heat. Fire. The burny stuff."

"...You turn yourself into thermal energy?"

"Now that's not a very nice thing to say, little girl. Though the noble chimpanzee and I certainly share an ancestor down the line, we're hardly the same, are we? Same applies to our friend Irine and a lizard, obviously."

"I was insulting your intelligence. By not realizing that, you kinda proved me right."

Heavily incomplete character sheet.

Are we using the standard method of attribute generation (3d6, straight down)?

"Oh. Um. Sorry...Anyways, I was remembering that you had a curse in your head, right?"

I get up and leave the stealth bench and walk over to the disguise bench with Angel.
"Hi, I'm Irine."

"Hi, Irine! I'm Angel. Your tails are really pretty."

"To call you a lizard would be to call me an inept chimpanzee. Totally different things."

"Yeah. The first one is an obvious lie, the second one is a concealed truth."

"well, um, most true shapechangers use biochemical energy to release a series of enzymes that react with their base genetic code to reverse the differentiation of the majority of their cells then re-differentiate them based on either an imprinted or aquired secondary genetic sequence, right? Well, um, instead I use an affinity resonance to react with environmental thermal energy and convert through it from one recorded state into another. It works completely different!"

Angel is listening closely.

"Does the difference between your shapeshifting technique and other shapeshifters have any difference when things come to shove, though? I doubt whether or not you're forming into a gas or an organic mass really matters practically. I generally find that differences in magic technique are all well and good, but really all that matters is practicality. It's like asking whether a baseball bat breaks people's bones or snaps them: there's no difference, it's just factoids. Besides, most shapeshifters I've dealt with usually modify their auric signature to fit their needs. Though generally that means you can only modify yourself so much before you snap back to your usual shape."

"Well, she'll be able to be dispersed by people who are expecting it, and the process either gives off or absorbs heat. Sounded like it absorbed, but she said it burns."
