"Uh, hi there. I'm probably out stomping through snow right now, so...leave a message?"

...You're telling me you can change the structure of your own brain.

[Whut. Stephen is curious, alarmed, and a little jealous.]

I'll at least give it a shot, get as much information as I can. I'm not gonna lie, this makes me nervous as hell. I'm prepared to sponsor you, but you have to understand that if we do this you're consenting without knowing all the facts.

[termineur]

Yep. [ He sounds smug. He can hear that jealousy- even if it's just a little bit. ]
That's how I copy special abilities from other people. I have an adaptive ability. There's another guy back home that could do the same thing, but he doesn't understand the process behind it at all.

Thanks. And of course I don't know all the facts- welcome to snowhell, right? But it's the best option I've got right now, so let's give it a try. I'll put in the request.

[ He would get distracted from that with the split tunnels and not put in the request until after they all turned into monsters and back. For all he's pushing for this, he's still not too excited to do it. But it will get done eventually. ]

If there's anything I can help you with, let me know. Anytime. I appreciate this.

[thewarningafter]

Sure thing.

[Stephen seems to be accruing favors these days.]

We should talk about what we're going to do if it doesn't work the way it's expected to. I'll want to keep in contact with you after it goes into effect to gauge how you're reacting to it. It's supposed to be reversible.

[termineur]

Right- good idea. I can check in with you as often as you like. In fact, you might want to check in with Al occasionally. He'd be most likely to notice a change. He's observant.

I- uh, I haven't told Al about this yet. I was hoping to wait until afterward.

[thewarningafter]

Yeah, you should probably do that before I start checking in with him. Before we go through with this, frankly. Kind of defeats the point of having him watch for changes if he doesn't know he's watching.

[termineur]

[ Sigh. ] He's not going to agree with this. I don't want to have the argument with him. He doesn't understand how it is. I'll send him a note as soon as it's done, promise.

[thewarningafter]

At least write the note first so he knows it's not the body snatchers talking when he gets it.

[termineur]

[ He chuckles. ] Fair enough. I'll do that, and send it out once we've settled the procedure. That sound good?

[thewarningafter]

Good enough. I'll hold off on talking to him about it until I hear from you.
