This is...

[There's the sound of a book being dropped, then papers being scattered.]

...I am not amused.

Get off me, you-- Rune!

Yup.

Good to see you still have your personality. Some people seem to be having a little trouble with that.

[chikaidestroyer]

I imagine it has something to do with how ... demanding the personality of the form you have taken is. Or maybe the Malnosso want to affect certain people in certain ways.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...maybe.

Y'know, I'd thought they were done with this random bullshit. We haven't had something quite like this in a while.

[chikaidestroyer]

Is it really so random? Several people seem to have changed into something that shares a common history with them. Or are allusions to themselves in some way.

...I suppose that isn't of much comfort to you.

I meant the experimentation. We haven't had something like this for a while, or at least I thought so. It's like they decided to go back to the regularly scheduled programming.

[chikaidestroyer]

Consider their latest changes. They have moved the barrier, made no attempts to reclaim those tunnels, and have shown no qualms with dropping those kidnapped in the desert.

I would say this is a sign of them having reorganized enough that they are comfortable to continue conducting experiments. The 'gifts' and Mark's precarious return were likely distractions to keep us from making further progress.

...what made them fumble in the first place, then?

Shit. This is probably something better discussed off the record.

[chikaidestroyer]

...

Yes, it is.

...maybe once we're back to normal, though.

[chikaidestroyer]

Yes. We will need to speak at length at some point.
