I'll head south and keep you updated on the phone.

[alienation]

[ ah

it's my face again. ]

Unless you're prepared to field questions, take extra care in traversing within my body. [ He cannot imagine Kaine wants to explain this. ] I do have several nocturnal associates.

[markofkaine]

[Puts on his spider-mask]

Problem solved.

[He's still an inch shorter than normal, and there's like long hair poking out the back, but still.]

[alienation]

[ the squish of my/your ears... jk they get shoved into a helmet all of the time. ]

I'll speak to you soon, then.

1/2

[markofkaine]

[pointy but soft

Kaine nods, and swings away~~ looks like the webs still work in other bodies]

[markofkaine]

[Barely a minute later, not even halfway across the prison from each other, Lotor's phone rings.]

[alienation]

[ hi ]

You cover ground a lot faster than I do. Did you revert already?

[markofkaine]

Yeah. Looks like I need to stay within about-- 100 feet of you to wear your face.

[alienation]

That's unfortunate, but it could be worse. You won't have to be glued to someone else.

[markofkaine]

It's not like I'm using this for an actual disguise, anyway. Copying anyone near me should work.

[There's a pause]

Yeah, trying to change into you doesn't work at this range either.

[alienation]

[ Hmms. ]

I am returning now, before someone asks me why I'm awkwardly standing next to the clinic.

[markofkaine]

All right. Meet you back in front of the motel.

[click, hangs up]

[alienation]

[ It seems normal to just disconnect a line of communication when you're done so he's not even going to question it.

He'll just be back at the motel, and he didn't exactly get very far since he doesnt SWING. ]

[markofkaine]

[Hello I'm visible again]

Looks like I can't turn back into you until I spot you.

[alienation]

Well, as limiting as it is, it's important to know the boundaries of what can and cannot be done.

[markofkaine]

One power for shapeshifting in proximity, and another for doing it at a distance. Guess that makes sense.

[alienation]

[ A nod. ]

Getting all of their abilities at once would simply be too lucky. It's why I'd like to... speak to mine before trying it myself.

[markofkaine]

Do gargoyles even do anything you can't do already?

Well, guess there's flying. Not that there's far to fly.

[alienation]

Depending on the tome; turn others to stone, apparently. Not always on purpose, either.

[markofkaine]

Shit. Really??

[alienation]

[ does my face really... look like that... ]

I would, however, love the ability that can avoid all types of harm during the night, if such a thing truly exists within this gargoyle.

There seem to be many interpretations.

[markofkaine]

[This is exactly 100% what your face looks like]

Guess something had to make up for the fact that it's useless during the day.

[alienation]

I would settle for something in the middle, rather than these two extremes...

But that is for another day, when I have more information. What are we to do next about you?
