[Appearing suddenly in a cloud of black smoke on the Astral Plane- not that he's actually left yet, yay warping powers- and straightens up. At best, he looks a bit dishevelled; A hole in the front of his cloak and another one in the back that looks as though something went through it and out the other side. Abruptly glances left, then right, and finally seems satisfied.]

Not exactly what I planned... I've decided to take a survey. You are all encouraged to participate.

The question itself is a simple one- I'm curious to know of any distinguishable abilities you may have. In that, I mean anything that would seem out of the norm to someone not accustomed to your world. Shapeshifting, for example, would be considered extraordinary by many.

If possible, I would run a few tests as well.

Why now, don't you sound like a creep saying such things.

[madamemoiselle]

My, my, I wonder what prompted this from the old man?

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

I'm a Harmonixer, so guess that counts as a shapeshifter, even it's not really the same.

You are not going to run any weird tests on me.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

My glasses seem pretty weird to people but I guess it's not really extraordinary like that. It's just technology.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

A simple matter of curiousity.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

[Instincively flinches at hearing her voice]

You would wonder.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Very well. Could you elaborate on the precise abilities?

Moreso the differences between a 'Harmonixer' and what I would call a 'shapeshifter'.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

You are correct in that glasses don't count as a distinguishable ability, at least.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[hands on her hips] Well they're better than dumb old powers and stuff anyway.

[Yuri doesn't really mind talking about Harmonixer stuff]I know a couple of people who can shapeshift, and according to them they only have one form they can take and it's just an ability they're born with.

Harmonixer's like me on the other hand...we fuse with monster spirits, and change into monsters ourselves. Most Harmonixer's only use one form, but we can gain more by fusing with other monsters. But the monster souls we fuse with live in our own souls, so if our will isn't stronger than the monsters, we can end up having our soul ripped to pieces.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Perhaps in your opinion. I, however, would hesitate to compare bad vision with extraordinary abilities.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

I see... A fascinating skill, though the risks don't necessarily seem worth the gain.

Is it a common practise?

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

Is two different people sharing the same body good enough for you or shall I talk about my Air Treck skills that are out of this world.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

Being a Harmonixer is something you have to be born into. There aren't many of us, I think my cousin is the only other Harmonixer I know of. Well, my Aunt might be one too, but I've never seen her fuse.

Some people who aren't Harmonixer's try to make a Soul Pact with a demon and fuse that way, but things usually don't turn out that well for them.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Two people as in two seperate minds altogether, or two seperate bodies that somehow became merged into one?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[makes a face] They're not those sort of glasses! [points at them] They connect to a virtual reality.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Then a hereditary skill.

And these Soul Pacts grant them similar abilities?

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

[A quick laugh] A child's game! Hardly even worth investigating.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

The first would be most accurate.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

That sounds more like a form of multiple personality disorder... [Seems to think of something, gives you a searching glance] Seperate names?

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

I've heard that one before, but that just makes it sound like I'm a disease of Akito's brain and I don't appreciate the idea.

Agito and Akito.

[ouch, Vexen, ouch] It's not a game! It's highly advanced technology! What do you have?

[lamb_of_gold]

If I were to say, what then would you do with the knowledge?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

.... [just glares because it's a cloak that is very-very familiar from the reality he was in... not a happy memory.]

[madamemoiselle]

{Giggles} Ne, the old man is scared of cute little me? How sad~

Ah, but does the old man mean me too? I wouldn't mind telling since there's no chance, after all. Aha~ You even ran away last time! How mean...
