I've got a couple questions for everyone.

How many people here were something else other than human or what they are now? How many ended up as something unexpected, e.g. a former monster-type ending up a witch or as a different sort of monster?

Have any witches put together a study group outside class?

[ derek is not super sociable but he also recognizes that he could probably use some help getting back into the swing of learning things. and he could also use some connections to people here. this is as good a way for that to happen as any. ]

And if someone is willing to talk about their experiences, I've got questions about Bonds.

fire away.

[scyldig]

I guess my first question would be if you knew the person you Bonded to well before it happened.

[sylphid]

first one yes. he was from my world and we're already close. second and third sort of. we met here and got to know each other a little first. we figured bonding made sense since we hung out often enough. they've become irreplaceable to me since then. the bond just deepened our trust in each other.

I can help with Bonds, maybe, but I can't help with that first one. I went from human to a Monster.

he's being obnoxious and sticking to text.

[scyldig]

I'll start with the same question I asked "sylphid". Did you know the person well before the Bond?

smh Derek

[clickclickbang]

Yeah, I did. It just made more sense.

haven't put together a study group. guess it could be a good idea as long as everyone in it isn't a complete jackass.

[scyldig]

Being a jackass does defeat the whole purpose of putting together a study group.

Are you newish here or have you been around a while?

[redeemed]

most jackasses don't realize they're jackasses. or don't care. same with idiots.

I'm new.

You look like you've got answers about bonds. But as for something other than human - I'm a deer.

And a witch here. I haven't changed at all. Still a deer.

I'd say it's probably pretty easy for former monsters to be witches.

[scyldig]

A deer. Not a weredeer or anything, just a deer.

[ what. ]

Re: study group

It's not exactly a traditional study group, but Sokie Undertown leads a class on practical magic. Her username is undertown if you want to get involved. What schools are you interested in?

Re: bullshit changes

Human --> Witch

Magic (probably) isn't real in my world, so I still count it as a bullshit change. Especially since you need to manage the magic in your body.

Re: Bonds

I can answer a few of these, if you're still looking for information.

[scyldig]

Transmutation, mostly. At least to start with.

[ he's going to be one of those who hits the books real hard just because he's hoping it'll give him an edge. ]

If you're willing to share your personal experience of being bonded, I'd like to hear about it.

I was not human. Now I'm not certain what I am.

[scyldig]

What were you before?

text; un: METTATON

[glitzandglamour]

There exists those of us who were never human, yes. I'm one such example... as a gorgeous robot, who is now a Puca! You could say I'm even a cyborg now, by definition.

Please. I invite you to look into some attributes about Puca first. I've been dealt an unfortunate hand!

And... I might be able to answer something about Bonds. I have one.

[scyldig]

A robot? Were you completely inorganic?

[ when did this become science fiction?? he's an urban fantasy character, okay!! ]

[Is Emet-Selch bored or feeling helpful? Mostly the former, to be honest.]

I was a mage before, and I remain one here- if a significantly reduced one. Human? Now, perhaps. Before, somewhat less so.

And to my considerable surprise, I am quite familiar with Bonds, if you still require more information. I possess [Four.] ...several.

[scyldig]

How many is several? And why is it a surprise? I was under the impression Bonds were something you had to create willingly.

/private, un: avenger/

[ressusciter]

I've seen your questions regarding Bonds.

Yes, I did know my Bonded before we made the decision. Without that, I doubt we would have gone through the process at all, for it is, as you've said, intimate. I needed to know I could trust him utterly and not find that knowledge ill-used.

Did it change things? Somewhat. He can tell my moods more easily, I his, and when either of use feels particularly strongly, there is something of a bleed between the link. As if there is an echo in yourself. A fleeting thing, but something to know all the same. But more than that, what changed was my own perceptions. I swore to stand beside him as his partner, and he mine, and so far we have upheld that in our lives.

[scyldig]

When you put it like that, it almost sounds like a marriage.

[spaghettimonster]

OH, I WAS DEFINITELY NEVER HUMAN. ALWAYS A MONSTER... AND NOW, A MONSTER TWICE OVER.

YOU GET USED IT.

I'M NOT IN A BOND NOW... BUT I WAS FOR A LONG TIME. SO I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THAT! BRING YOUR QUESTIONS.

[ooc: If the capslock is a lot, let me know and I'll drop it! Assume it continues IC tho]

the capslock is totally cool!!

[scyldig]

What kind of monster were you before?

How did you end up not having a bond again after having one?

[judgementor]

I've never been human. What I am now makes me wonder if this place has a conscious sense of humour.

And I have one Bond, though I doubt I could give any useful information about it to you. It depends what you want to know.

[scyldig]

Why's that?

Mostly what the experience is like. It seems invasive and I'd rather not have to deal with one if I don't have to.
