A Few Minutes After Returning to Liminal Space

[Drizzt's flat annoyance filters through slightly despite his attempts to contain it.]

You must be joking.

[He lets out the equivalent of a sigh.]

How does one return to their true form after they have "received" one from the previous Jaunt?

I found that focusing on the thought of my original form helped significantly. It doesn't require much other than that, apparently.

I second the question.

I find myself very, very tired of revisiting this time of my life, though given the Arcana involved I suppose it was inevitable.

Try thinking of something your true form can do better than your current one, and then try to want to perform that task really hard. It's a good way to start learning how to change.
senpaidol: (stage - cute)

Oh my gosh this was the best Jaunt I've ever been on without getting proposed to.
cawfullyironic: (smile: hells fuckin yeah)

[personal profile] cawfullyironic 2017-11-14 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my fuck where are you. I need to see this.

Focus on the feel of your own body - the length of your limbs, your sense of balance, the way you're used to moving. Your mind knows the shape you're meant to be. You just need to block out all the distractions and find your way back.
senpaidol: (casual - star)

[personal profile] senpaidol 2017-11-14 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, yeah, that's annoying...even if it's really cute too.

Okay, so the way I turned back from being a Synth way back was I focused on what was different between me as a human vs. me as a crystal robot girl.

Depends on what's causing it. Usually just focusing on changing is good enough.

[but Phillip is waiting to sneeze again so.]
senpaidol: (stage - okay...)

[personal profile] senpaidol 2017-11-14 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What, you thought cats were the weirdest things people have become here? Actually, I wouldn't even call Citrine that weird except she's from another planet, considering apparently my version of Earth also has robot girls...

You're a good friend. I don't think I would be able to be quite so good-natured about it.

And if it makes you feel any better, as simple as the process is at its core, it's not unknown for one of my own people to get tangled up in a shift when we're first learning - and we are shapeshifters by nature, and rarely undergo such drastic changes.
finalizes: (wolf: looking)

[personal profile] finalizes 2017-11-14 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Pick the one that this form of yours is the least able to do, then. That makes it easier.

[He knows that the "trying to open a bottle of beer" example has been used more than once for this. Priorities and all. But forest folk somehow manages to act like they have opposable thumbs, so that won't work here.]
helborn: (nope too cute to function)

[personal profile] helborn 2017-11-14 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He's adorable.
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2017-11-14 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... I kind of need to know this, too. As cute as I am like this, I kind of would like having thumbs again.
reincarnatedprince: (Hmm...)

[personal profile] reincarnatedprince 2017-11-14 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That's how it works for me. Then again, I'm used to shifting forms... in a sense.
cawfullyironic: (smile: hahaha)

[personal profile] cawfullyironic 2017-11-14 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
-=of course he's right. everyone in liminal space ends up with the maturity of an elementary school kid=-

Don't move.
cawfullyironic: (smile: flirt)

[personal profile] cawfullyironic 2017-11-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, we should get him one of those dangly shits on a stick and see what happens.
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2017-11-14 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I can definitely make one of those.

Oh, oh, we could get him a teeny tiny adventurer's outfit.

[Yes, he knows that Drizzt can hear them.]
