I'm curious.

Did everyone else feel pain coming through the tree? How bad?

Comments

[cedricinshadows]

Yes. A lot. It might have been residual pain from being murdered, though. I can't be sure.

[red_wilderness]

How were you killed?

[cedricinshadows]

I don't suppose you're at all familiar with the magic from Earth?

[red_wilderness]

Ginny mentioned it, but I don't know details.

[red_dust_rising]

Just disorientation. There wasn't any real pain.

[red_wilderness]

Why wouldn't you just tell me in person

I'm glad.

[tenuefarfalla]

I felt sick. It gave me a terrible headache, but I don't know if that's what you're talking about.

[red_wilderness]

It isn't what I experienced, but it is what I'm talking about. The details of how we came here, individually and collectively.

[fieryginny]

I felt kind of light-headed and dizzy, but I wouldn't exactly call it pain. But it was probably a lot harder for you, since you had to transform -- right? That can be really painful depending on how it's done.

[red_wilderness]

Sort of. I'm still not sure if it tore part of me away from the rest of me, or if it compressed all of me into just a speck of myself, or something in between. It's one of the reasons I'm trying to get a baseline everyone who came through mostly unchanged.

[guns_and_coffee]

I was exhausted and somewhat nauseated, but there was no real pain. I take it your experience was worse?

[added a few minutes later]

I'm sorry, I don't want to intrude, but I was just reading above -- You transformed?

[red_wilderness]

As I told Ginny, yes and no, with a side of not sure. But I'm certainly not what I'm supposed used to be.
