[Hi, Keep. Anyone in the corridor(s) near room 3169 will be privy to a buck-naked, seven foot even white-haired woman walking down said corridor muttering about conversion and disappearance of mass before she abruptly turns around to walk back the way she came, for the room she had just left, while opening the journal.

She'd just realized humans didn't tend to walk around naked. So that wasn't something she should be doing, then, even if she'd been doing it in pursuit of something to wear. And how come the journal had changed size to fit her like this, too?]

... Considering I have yet to see any of the organics around here walk around without some sort of covering, I assume that's not something one does, for various reasons.

Protection and warmth, for two, presumably. Skin really isn't adequate protection at most temperatures... Besides for a narrow range as far as I can extrapolate from biological parameters. Anything else? And if it's not usual to walk around... naked perhaps someone could find or lend me something to wear, since I was on the way to pick something up...

Ah, one more thing. Anyone has an estimate of how long this is going to last, if something like it has happened before?

[Good experiments always have a cut-off point at which it expires/you cease for evaluation, after all.

Also, the lack of comm. is highly annoying; she'd intended to contact Starscream since before she left, but she kept forgetting it. So she'll just knock on his door to see if he'll open, otherwise she'll check on him later... And just hope he's had nothing strange happen to him in the meantime.]

[Tumnus has never felt the need to mince words when it came to what he could do, as all of the fauns of his world had such abilities. No reason to get nervous about a hypothetical situation, though... a very possible situation, though?

He makes a soft sound of consideration at her words, head tilting slightly in the opposite direction.]

I suppose that is a way to see the situation that I had not considered before.

[Then a dry chuckle.]

To say the least, I should think... I have begun to think that I will meet more people in manners such as this than I would by simple way of introduction.

[angleofscience]

That we might meet others more easily during an occurrence like this isn't all that strange; none of us are how or as weought to, and shared confusion might lead to knowledge, and if not that, a chance to reassure oneself that others are in the same plight.

[Jetfire shrugs slightly, tapping a finger briefly to her cheek.]

It does, however, I suppose, make the limits to which one otherwise is more careful about introducing oneself more stark. Especially if a pattern and a circle of individuals have already been assembled.

[thisdamnkeep]

[Jetfire, Tumnus would be smiling right now even if he wasn't forced to by this stupid face of his.]

You have a very eloquent form of speech, Jetfire... It does one well to hear such consideration taken to mind in a situation such as this.

I suppose a good number of us feel better knowing that others have been effected in a similar manner, even if the forms we have taken vary so greatly. Further comfort would certainly come in knowing the limit to which we would be forced into these bodies, but I suppose that knowledge will come as it comes.

[angleofscience]

I cannot say I didn't have a brief lapse in reaction to what's... happening, but I'm a scientist. Wallowing in one's emotions will not bring useful results. And it's been both interesting and... good, to see us reach out, no matter the amount of confusion or unease this occurrence has inflicted.

[Jetfire sighs softly, frowning at Tumnus' last few words.]

Yes. If this was in any way planned, I find it exceedingly deplorable to not inform us how long the effect might last. And if it wasn't planned... Well, nothing to do about it, but apparently the security isn't as good as one might wish.

[Jetfire knew this already, of course. Had enough data already to form an unverified opinion of this whole situation of the Keep and their safety.]

[thisdamnkeep]

[Tumnus actually chuckles softly at that.]

Though there are those taking the matter better than others, I do not think anyone was unaffected by their physical change; even if it was less extreme than another's might have been.

[He looks contemplative for a moment and nods.]

In either case, we shall hopefully not remain as such any longer than need be. I dare say it will be rather a relief to be back in my own body when this is over.

[angleofscience]

No, I agree. To remain completely unphased, it wouldn't simply have had to happen before, but the change must have been percieved as positive... or useful, at the least, and it requires the change of species to be the same.

[As she speaks, there's a similar contemplative look on Jetfire's face which is washed away by a sigh - and a brief weirded-out look as Jetfire is suddenly reminded humans use air to speak and breathe in/out through their mouths - and a frown.]

Indeed. I wouldn't... want to be overly negative about a frame I will hopefully not need to wear for long, or the functions of an organic body, but... ah. Even the short time between waking up like this and now...

[A shrug. She would not choose it again if she could, and do hope it won't come again unwillingly, either.]
