If anyone has been contacted by Poe Dameron about being turned into a bird...

He is fine. He is well. For the time being. [deleted]

I'm taking care of it...

And I truly do apologize for his...excitement, for lack of a better term.

If anyone is upset, just contact me directly.


Thank you.

Just birds. Actually, not all birds, but I'm getting better at it over time. First it was just the biggest ones, and now I'm sort of working my way down to the smaller ones. Still can't manage anything smaller than a crow.

No, but there's a flamethrower in the kitchen in case they do.

[Is he serious? Sadly, yes.]

It's not the magic as much as it is the experience of being something else. Like being able to fly unaided, or having a dog's sense of smell. It's not something I'd do all the time, but just once or twice is pretty interesting.

So if I need the help of catching a bird...you could easily call it over. [She's bright, really she is. Just on technology and not things like people being able to communicate with animals.]

How were you able to get a flame thrower? On second, never mind.

I can understand...sort of. Poe loves flying, and he's one of the best pilots in the galaxy. I love it too, but I don't think I would want to become something else to do it. A lot of things could go wrong, and what if you wind up stuck like a creature forever? Then what?

A larger bird. I'm still kind of working on smaller birds, they aren't as intelligent.

Well, I figure there are enough magic-users here that someone's got to be able to reverse it if something happens. I trust them enough to believe that they wouldn't use a spell that could go completely haywire - I'm not saying that mistakes don't happen, but I'm not going to let just anyone on the street turn me into something, either. Just the people who I know can pull that kind of thing off.

Which sounds so weird, because there isn't magic where I'm from, either, and now I'm just...hanging out with sorcerers all the time.

What would a bird even think about? Food and shelter?

There's a difference between you trusting them, and me trusting them. I'm not saying the magic users here are incapable of helping, but I am wary, especially with someone I don't know. I think that's what I'm more upset with, having to ask for help from someone I don't know if something had happened to Poe.

Magic isn't something that's in my world at all, so it's sometimes hard to wrap my head around it. If there are rules, what can and cannot be done, those things.

If you don't mind me asking, what is in your world then?
