This post is addressed to those of you who were within the other world with me.

[And it's later than he wanted it to be, but the death had taken its' toll on him, and besides, there had been a great deal to consider. A very real, very loud part of him had wanted not to have to do this. To forget it all, to put the last six years of hell utterly behind him. However, he feels responsible;]

I've been here a few months, but I see now that I've been complacent. When I arrived, like the rest of you I found that my powers were gone. For me, that was a relief.

I don't remember hurting any of you down there, but my memories during a transformation aren't always the clearest. If any of you recall the green... thing, or were harmed by it in any way, please let me know. I'd like to make reparations in any way I can.

To the rest of you, whatever keeps the transformations from occurring is working again now that I'm... I suppose you could say up on the surface, or returned to this specific dimensional point. But since it's clear I can't rely on that to be true all the time, I think I have a duty to warn you. In the right conditions I'm a bomb waiting to go off, and in the event that something like this happens again, I'm probably going to be getting as far away from the you all as possible. Please don't come near me if you see me, and please don't try to stop me.

I'm sorry.

Well, I would suggest testing to make sure your own powers are there, and if they are, avoiding me in general.

[becauseichooseto]

I don't have powers. I have a range of abilities more than a human might, but it's no more a 'power' than your ability to see. And 'avoiding you' isn't always possible. I like to prepare for anything.

[zen_en_vert]

Right, well, your improved range, then. Though if we're stuck in close quarters we'll have to deal with that when we come to it.

Hence my questioning. I do have experience in subsuming a powerful force… though in the case I cite, it was going to eat my brain and the brains of those around me with an ounce of ambition… so I'm not certain it's applicable.

I don't know enough about what that would entail to predict whether it would work on me or not, unfortunately. On a purely scientific level, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about my condition, so predicting anything is a challenge.

[becauseichooseto]

It was worth a shot.

[He can only sort of shrug with him.]

From what I understand it doesn't happen often.

[becauseichooseto]

Hm, no. Not so far.

[zen_en_vert]

How long have you been here, and how many times have you seen it?

[becauseichooseto]

I haven't. I know that others have.
