Name: Zack Fair

[ This is, shockingly, Zack's first time using his Watch like this. Even though he's a sociable person who's happy to meet new people, he does tend to prefer face-to-face interactions, especially for a first meeting. So he hadn't felt much need for a broadcast until now.
He's realized lately how much their numbers have dwindled, and so can't help but want to reach out to his fellow Mirrobound, whether to talk to someone he hasn't seen in a while, or to make a new friend.
And, well, there's the practical reason. ]
Hey, all! [ He starts the video message with a grin and a quick wave. ] If we haven't met before, I'm Zack. Seems like we all need to band together more than ever now, and I also had a question.
[ He shifts his watch around so that the camera can capture at least some of his wings. Mainly, all viewers will be able to make out is a mass of dark brown feathers, before his face returns to front and center again. ]
I'm a chimera, and my transformation finished a few months back, but I'm still getting used to these wings. I'm not sure if I can even fly the way a harpy or dragon could, but it's probably worth learning. I mean, because it'd be helpful, but also because it'd be cool. Does anyone have any tips? Seems like it'd be hard to practice without risking some bodily harm.
[ A pause, and then he decides to ask one more thing. ]
Also, does anyone know if I'm the only chimera left here now? I used to know a few others, but they've all left. [ He shrugs one shoulder. ] I dunno, I was just curious. [ It would be strange, to be the only one, so he's hoping that isn't the case. ]
Anyway, thanks! It was nice talking to you all.
[ With that, the feed ends. ]

Oh, I see what you mean! These are muscles I don't usually use, or at least not in that way, so it's going to take some getting used to. So it's a different kind of training, but that's fine. Can't be any worse than the SOLDIER training I had to do!
There's a lot things you don't really think about with monster changes until it comes up, huh?

Amen. But seriously, you need to find yourself a teacher. Flying at low altitude and short distances is all well and good, but any higher and you're going to need someone with you who can carry your weight and then some just in case the wind throws you off.
Not to mention there's a matter of what kind of flight you're going to specialize in.

[ They don't know each other well at all, but this guy seems to know his stuff and Zack can't ignore that. ]
There's KINDS of flight? Man, I'm getting in over my head here...
no subject
won't be able to carry your weight and seeing how this is the perfect time to answer your second question - yes, there's different kinds of flying.
Okay, well, not flying per se, but ways to fly. Take owls for example, we don't fly too high but we can glide really well and when we fly, we don't make noise at all. Another example would be a peregrine, birds with streamlined and angled wings built for speed. That sort of thing.
I think your best bet for a teacher is another chimera, or a harpy. Maybe one of the locals. Best I could do is act as an advisor.

I'm pretty sure my wings are based on an eagle's judging from the other changes I have, so I think my flying is probably going to be like theirs. So I guess I need to start reading up on that.
I don't know if even a harpy would be able to consistently hold my weight. Might need to track down a dragon...
