This is Bart's fault

[The person accessing the psychic network right now was probably not the best choice to be doing so, but since Noctis is bedridden and loaded up on Liminal's best painkillers there wasn't much he could do. Also his judgement had flown out the window.

There was probably a lot of strange static and noises in the background that come from a mind that wasn't entirely sure what he was thinking about at the moment, but eventually his own voice broke through. Kinda coherently.]

There's like...this cat, and he's super fluffy. I like petting him but I'm not sure if he likes it. Maybe he just tolerates me because Iggy is there. But he's really soft and pretty. Was everyone so pretty before? I'm so fucking high right now.

[It was kind of at this point that Noct really wished this was like the internet and he could just start posting memes and shit.]

I hate that angel guy so much. It really hurts. Even now too. And Iggy doesn't like showing it but he's really not having fun. You realize how hard it is to break his composition? Someone punch that asshole for me.

Astrals, I'm so bored.

I mean, if he wants to become a catboy, there are skills that let him do that for a certain amount of time each day. I use it to become a bunny girl with Alcuin sometimes.

[keepcalmcookon]

... I may be interested.

[Even if you're kinda a stranger encouraging him.]

[It's all she can do not to cackle irl.]

How good are you with healing using liminal matter? Because it's an outgrowth of that. I can teach you that shit, though, if you need it.

[keepcalmcookon]

[Hush!]

... I have not learned that yet, no. It sounds like it would be useful outside of this.

Re: protection ii 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

It is.

Can you create Liminal goo yet? Can you create things liminally or change clothes with Liminal skills?

Re: protection ii 5ever

[keepcalmcookon]

I can create things liminally, but I haven't done anything with the... "goo", so to speak.

Re: protection ii 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

Can you create food?

Sorry, just you have to master food creation and changing other people's clothing before you've got enough practice with liminal skills to start working with goo--which is what you need to learn for healing.

Re: protection ii 5ever

[keepcalmcookon]

Substantiating food, yes--but I have not learned wardrobe manipulation yet... I believe you are referring to the second level of that skill, yes?

Re: protection ii 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

Yep. You need to do that and food to play with goo, you need goo to heal, and you need healing to manipulate your form with Liminal Space. It's a pretty linear progression.

Re: protection ii 5ever

[keepcalmcookon]

Ahhh, so it's more controllable than the virus version, then. It is fairly linear, yes--and healing along the way is good. But I also want to learn how to reach over the divide while I am separated from others I care about....

Re: protection ii 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

I can teach you that shit too. Which do you want to do--go there bodily or over the network?

Re: protection ii 5ever

[keepcalmcookon]

Over the network to begin. I only need to learn how to detect others over the network and access private network communications before I can learn that properly, I believe. The second skill I am loathe to learn, but if it will help me speak across the divide, then I will learn it.

no psychic protection

[prince_of_pain]

HHH... a bunny? I need to see Iggy with bunny ears. Holy shit. Wait, does that mean he'd make me eat more vegetables??

Re: no psychic protection

[thornsofmalkav]

Possibly!

The trick lets you change species entirely, so he could use it to be a catperson like Q'uila and Felih. I used it to be a bunny Pogemon, so I don't know if Iggy would end up being that specific kind of Pogemon? I think it goes by how you'd look if you were that species. But since catpeople are a species on their own, he should be able to do that one real easy.

[dragoonrouge]

I would like to clarify that Miqo'te are not cat people. Scholars on Hydaelyn have not found sufficient evidence that we are in any way connected to felines.

[Q'uila's tone is polite but firm. Miqo'te do not like to be compared to cats in that manner.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Right. Sorry. I was just going with what the super high guy was saying, which is probably as accurate as anything said by a stoner. Even accidental ones.

[dragoonrouge]

Many thanks, 'tis just a common misconception in Liminal and your comment seemed like a good place to address it, I know you mean no harm by it.

[thornsofmalkav]

Right. Glad to help?

[keepcalmcookon]

Just for the record... I've tried correcting Noct multiple times regarding that misconception, but he's too doped up for the moment to remember much of anything.

[dragoonrouge]

Worry not Ignis, I am sure you have tried your best.

It seems like not much of anything is sinking in with Noct at the moment.

[She is amused by everything that has happened so far.]

[keepcalmcookon]

You are correct on both accounts. Not much is sticking with him. It's just good that he doesn't really care about it.

[dragoonrouge]

Mayhaps I need to come back to Liminal as a more physical reminder of who he now has to live with

[keepcalmcookon]

Only if you wish to be pet. It's a good thing Felih is all right with the attention, or it'd be much worse.

[dragoonrouge]

Petting is always welcome, ear scratches doubly so.

[keepcalmcookon]

With the amount of practice I've had because of Felih, I can assure you that I am good at both. [Yes, there's amusement there.]
