Just because it seems to freak people out: if you see someone transform into an octopus, don't worry. It's normal. I'm supposed to that.

Octopus or squid, depending on what kind of inkfish we're talking about. It's how we hide and swim in our ink trails.

[That would be a shame, he'll answer whatever questions she has.]

[ So it's only those two? That's a far cry from the shifters that Fern is familiar with, but it just goes to show that the worlds they come from can differ wildly.

While also having some odd similarities. ]

Ink trails
Sorry i cannot picture what that is
Where are you swimming
The ocean

[flyoctofly]

Oh no, I can't go in the water at all. Being able to transform means my skin is so thin the water will pull out the fluids in my body and I'll disintegrate.
My body creates ink, which I can lay down on surfaces and swim through. It's how inkfish do most of our fighting. And our games. And climb walls when we don't have a ladder.

[ An octopus that can't go in the water, and with such a disturbing reason for why, at that. Fern is utterly confused now, but also doing her best to follow along. If nothing else, this is teaching her about people of all types can end up here.

Maybe it will make more sense if she ever sees it in person. This "Agent 8" should stand out, if nothing else. ]

That seems like a valuable skill then
Many ways to use it
Are you a fighter

[flyoctofly]

Yes, but nobody else fights with ink here, and going against people who don't explode when you spray them with enough ink is hard to adjust to.

Are you a fighter? Do your skills carry over?
