Technology is MARVELOUS!
Times like these, I LOVE being on the evil of the fence. It fills my heart with spiky black unfuzzies. Mmmm.
At any rate lovelies, had no time to update and inform everyone of my wonderful opportunity: namely, an exclusive chance to go to a conference to see the newest developments in evil. Perks of transferring to research.
Things certainly have improved! The sheer breadth of new ideas...the imagination is truly a wonderful thing. It is especially proficient at finding ways to cause others pain. Ain't it lovely? Some of those weapons cabinets resulted in drool.
My personal favorite, however, is gorgeous but absolutely twisted--it's an advancement in shapeshifting. I'm not a scientist and not big on the logistics, but apparently there is a magic that, rather than just taking on the face of the person, the entire ESSENCE is used. So it really IS the person there, talking to you, although their intentions may be the user's.
How creepy. There's a rumor that someone is already using this power, but it's only speculation. The technology is quite new and not really in practice unless those rumors turn out to be true.
However...
I was reflecting and I remember a while back--last fall--I was doing the rounds of one of the bolgia and this *feeling* went through me--like I was there, but not really there...
Go figure. Probably just too much time at work.
