[It's taken Raven a while to get the courage to talk on the Network, not exactly liking the fact that she didn't know who exactly she was talking to, but whatever. Charles could worry enough for the both of them, and she has questions, regarding her abilities. Plus, she has the distinct advantage of looking like whoever she wants, so. She picks a

[Oh. Well, this is interesting.]

I haven't noticed any changes, but I'll keep an eye on things.

[Now she has something else to be paranoid about. Joy.]

I don't think we've met -- I'm Tali.

[Dropping the rest of her name is something she's slowly learning is probably just -- easier. The ship designation doesn't mean anything to anyone here, anyway.]

I'm Raven. [...

AH. THAT ISN'T THE NAME SHE WANTED TO GIVE OUT TO EVERYONE. Well. That's okay. Raven was-- A pretty uncommon name wasn't it, damn. She needed to get better at this whole Being Sneaky thing.]

And that's good, I don't exactly hope to hear that everyone's been feeling kinda drained. It's weird, feeling this dragged down after getting used to certain standards, you know?

There are humans who claim to have been robots before their arrival here, so it's not so far-fetched.

It could be the same anomaly that's had others change forms.

[geminates]

Change forms..? [RAVEN'S REALLY GREAT AT ACTING LIKE THIS QUESTION ISN'T A BIG DEAL TO HER.]

voice;

[in_three]

Yeah.

Apparently there's a group of people who were something else before they arrived. Robots, AIs.

Hedgehogs.

[geminates]

Huh.

[Her tone is the same now, yes. She knows she should be judging, but that's not what she was expecting to hear.]

The idea that there were robots - and hedgehogs - that were ..human enough to be turned into a human without--

That's so odd. Kinda wild, but odd.

[hvymetalheroics]

Superhuman fast? And now you're limited to -- less duration? Less strength? Speed? What?

[text; locked]

[geminates]

I haven't exactly tried for distance yet, there aren't a lot of places to run, but I tire much more quickly, and the effort it takes to even hit my full speed is-- It's like my ability to run that fast has been chained down, kinda. I even feel kinda sore after trying to run at my normal speed, and I've never felt sore in my life.

[Which was kind of all true, only it was taking all that effort to hold onto her shift right now. She hasn't been able to hold a particular face for very long, and when she finally let herself shift back to blue she actually felt a little sore. All very, very weird.]

[hvymetalheroics]

How strange. Have you spoken to the medical personnel about it?

Or what passes for it here, anyway.

[After some thought.]

Aside from being turned human, I have noticed an odd decrease in my abilities. Even without my inhibitor rings on [he lifts his hand to show the gold bracelet around his wrist] it seems as though I have less power than I did previously.

[video]

[geminates]

Yes! Less power, that's exactly it. I guess I'm just starting to get worried I'll never be back at full strength, is all.

-- Being turned human, though, that's- How did-?

[video]

[hauntedbymemory]

That is something to be worrying about. Perhaps in due time we'll get our full strength back.

[A small sigh]

I used to be a hedgehog.

[statsraaden]

I seem to have lost a bit of my timekeeping and orientation abilities, on top of turning human.

[geminates]

I imagine being turned human after living as something else would be disorienting, yeah. Have you been adjusting alright?

[statsraaden]

Oh, it wasn't the most difficult thing.
