[Tom is standing on a street in Adstringendum -- or, well, perhaps the better word would be floating. He looks relatively unbothered by the massive amounts of water and various sea-life surrounding him, but if one looks carefully, they will notice that Tom doesn't have gills. Or fins. Or anything resembling the fish and creatures that are ( Read more... )

[Here Tom, get an anglerfish type of mermaid person. Just, no discoloration at the head and upper-torso and a lighter blue -> pink coloration.]

Many of the normal creatures around were changed to something more suitable to avoid drowning. By the information given, the Animus must have skipped you over because you could adapt to the change yourself easily enough.

[Tom looks mildly impressed at the theory.]

It's definitely possible -- and I haven't talked to any of the other wizards capable of performing the necessary magic to keep themselves safe.

Well, it's taken from what the Animus said. So while it's partially true, there's also need to interpret somewhat. They 'delivered' changes that seemed most suitable.

[Wizards, she's a little familiar with the idea, but not much. I don't think they're very prominent in the East in the series.]

It wouldn't be as simple as being able to cast the right magic though. They said they tried to deliver properly, so I'm thinking the changes, if any, are with the people's personalities and maybe even home worlds in mind. Would you prefer to have changed, or have things this way?

I will always prefer to rely on my own talents than have these spirits change me.

[Tom taps the Bubble Head Charm with his wand.]

I'm just as efficient now as I would be with gills.

Bingo! Which means they did deliver properly. You were most suited to handle things in your own way.

A fine theory -- but I'll have to ask my other wizards to see whether or not they are affected. This charm is very basic.

But it's not about what you're able to do, they can't think that simply. There might be other wizards that are changed out in the water. It's not just skill, but personality, ability to adapt, home worlds, the reactions, and a little humor, I wager.

[Because her change seems to be a bit of a joke as well, as handy as it's been.]

It just proved that the best delivery was none at all for you. You are not only able to handle this yourself, but you said you'd prefer it.

I doubt, very much, they did this to cater to my preferences.

Not catering to them, exactly... It's hard to explain, because they're hard to explain.

Like some of them figured that it'd be better to shove stubbornness and preference to the situation on some people and see what happens.

Hnnn.

[It's an interesting theory, anyway, Tom can admit that much.]

It's entirely possible. They do seem to look at us as experiments ourselves -- from what I've heard, anyway.

[It can be surprising, the theories she can come up with.]

It's what you hear simply because that's how it feels like to everyone. Some of the entities in the Animus probably do see us like that. Some would see us like toys, and I'm positive that there should be some who want to be friends.

You are extraordinarily rational for the situation, Miss Botan.

It's not like there's a reason for me not to be. I don't see the Animus as being a group of horrible nonsensical beings.

Horrible, perhaps not, but nonsensical -- I think it would depend on when you speak with them -- or even with whom you speak.

It does require a bit of an open mind, to look at things in different perspectives, but you can get a conversation out of them usually.

It might take some patience, though!

I have yet to speak with them as a whole and receive an entire coherent conversation.
