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.

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?

[ Exploding when sprayed with ink — Fern truly doesn't know what to make of that, but that's been this entire conversation, and Agent 8 is being kind enough in answering all of her specific questions. ]

Yes I know how to fight

[ She doesn't say more than that simply because she's aware that these messages can be read by anyone looking at the forum. ]

I have not had any reason to so far
