What is the gold one supposed to do?
Mine was red, though I've already drank it myself.

[diedeliberately]

The gold potion supposedly grants an animal transformation.

I did drink mine... But I haven't figured out how to transform yet.

[It's a little embarrassing to admit.]

[girlybruiser]

I had no idea there was a potion that gave such a power.
What kind of animal would you like to be? Maybe you have to think about it?

[diedeliberately]

I've thought about it a bit. Honestly, out of all the animals I know, it's a little hard to pick one. I've thought about dogs, birds...

[girlybruiser]

A bird could be an excellent choice. They seem more poetic and artistic in general.

[ Not that dogs are bad. ]

I wish I had advice to give. I am still figuring out my power, which came from the red potion.

[diedeliberately]

The red potion grants elemental powers, right? Have you experienced anything at all?

[girlybruiser]

Yes, it gave me the power of plants!
Which has been quite exciting, although I can't do much with it.

[diedeliberately]

Well...

What have you been able to do? Something small is still something.

[girlybruiser]

I've been able to make some plants grow bit faster than normal. Not to the degree they are fully ripened, however.

[diedeliberately]

See? That is something.

Maybe we just need to practice. That has to be it, right?

[girlybruiser]

I agree; I am sure it's not possible to understand a brand new power in one day.
I'll get plenty of practice with it through my gardening.
But how does one practice turning into an animal? Is there a code or phrase?

[diedeliberately]

That's what I've been wondering too. I've thought that maybe being out in nature might help. Kind of makes sense, doesn't it?

[girlybruiser]

I suppose...

[ Hm, she thinks about how Mona is able to transform into a car ... and that one time, a helicopter. Through sheer force of will. ]

Perhaps it's related to your cognition.

[diedeliberately]

My cognition? How do you mean?

[girlybruiser]

[ "Remember... There's no such thing as the "real" world. What each person sees and feels— Those are what shape reality."

She mulls over her response, as she's just trying to help Neil access his power. ]

I wonder if maybe you need to adjust your perception.
Maybe if you imagine a reality in which you are the animal you wish to transform into, it might come true?

[diedeliberately]

[That's a pretty abstract concept, even put into words like that. He tries to conceptualize it, but...]

I could certainly try.

[He's not all that convinced.]

good to wrap hehe

[girlybruiser]

[ This would be so much easier if Mona was here... ]

I have hopes you'll figure it out!

hehe yay!

[diedeliberately]

Thanks, Haru.

I'll work on that poem for you.
