I look away for one blasted moment and what do I spy?

A bunch of fools herding themselves into a feel-good orgy corral. What, I ask, has the world gone to? Or rather, that's what I would ask if I didn't know the answer.

I am sighing dramatically--I am far too busy than to switch to audio to show you.

On a less disgusting note, we are heading

It's ridiculous. They need to get a hold of themselves.

[changerofwilds]

Exactly. Who really wants to be coddled like a small domestic feline?

[honorregained]

I get that it's a virus, but we don't need to hear all their complaints about wanting to hug people.

[changerofwilds]

Exactly, very sensible. Yet this place lacks any sort of sense.

[honorregained]

I've been telling people that. All they have to say is "get used to it". Just because I'm used to it doesn't mean it isn't annoying.

[changerofwilds]

I have been here for a great while and I can say I'm 'used to it'. It never gets any less annoying.

[honorregained]

Great. Clearly I have something to look forward to.

...Thanks for your advice on my post, by the way. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this lightning thing.

[changerofwilds]

That is the fate of living.

You're--...welcome, I suppose. T'was no trouble. Lightning is something I know a bit about, after all.

[honorregained]

Augh. No kidding. Everything just gets better and better...

I still don't really get this 'magic' thing. It seems kind of limited compared to bending. Spells only do one specific thing, right?

[changerofwilds]

"The longer you walk the path of life, the more you long for the end." A saying by my mother on that subject.

One spell can do a specific thing, aye, but the range of spells one can learn is quite vast. For example, I can freeze or burn an opponent or change my own shape. The last takes a great while to learn, but 'tis possible with practice.

[honorregained]

...That's depressing. I'm not sure I'd go that far.

Really? You can change your shape?

[changerofwilds]

Mother was a cynical woman at her best--I'm not sure if I would go that far, either.

I can take the shape of any animal, as long as I can observe them for a long enough period of time.

Reminds me of my father.

That's... kind of weird, but cool.

[changerofwilds]

Ah. I am guessing your father wasn't known for a gentle hand, correct?

Is it? I cannot truly say, 'tis a skill I learned when I was young.

[honorregained]

More like for being merciless and driven.

I guess I just can't imagine it. But it sounds useful.

[changerofwilds]

That sounds familiar.

I suppose you can liken it to your, what was it, bending in a way.
