This is not the leap I asked for. Backdated to week 1.5, dec 22

[ This livestream crashes onto the network with a visual burst of green. Someone is running through the trees, though quite high up. He leaps from one branch to another, tugging himself higher and moving faster than he would on ground (though he still prefers buildings to all this foliage). His eyes dart dizzyingly to his next hold and the next, moving with the ingrained speed and creativity of years of training and a determined efficiency. Something snarls behind him. A quick glance back shows a damp Eren pelting towards him below on the ground, running faster than expected of any un-totemed merperson.

[ Altaïr breaks through the end of the trees into the blinding sunlight, stopping on a branch. The land ends in a cliff, and the sea rushes below. He leaps out to dive, the air whistling faster with his descent...


[ Several minutes later, a calm psychic "voice" appends this to the post: ]

I found Malik. He bit me.

[ Even without actual sound, it still comes through surly and annoyed. ]

I also saw Eren, Infiltrating as well. I've lost him, so the danger has passed. What I need most now is some... [ an embarrassed pause, ] woman's clothes, preferably ones that fit in this world. Tall ones.

[ Super awkward, as he is apostate. ]

I think I am done. Tell me if I look as I should.

[ His hair is still a mess, and salt is still clinging to him. He's far from looking like the belle of the ball. ]

[She turns around and gives Altair a moment of honest consideration.]

You definitely look like a woman who's been stuck on a ship for weeks. Or shipwrecked.

[The smile is a friendly one, honest.]

Honestly I think it'll help the effect if you're not perfect. The important part is covering up and hopefully not having people confuse your two forms if you change back.

[Thanks to the magic of chronology, she's also able to whip up a linen kerchief of the right size to serve as a head cover, after again checking around to make sure they're unobserved.]

Here. The sun out here could get to be a problem without this.
