Changes

So has Retrospec ever changed bodies in a positive way? I woke up this morning, and I was in way better shape. Not that I was in bad shape before, but almost all my body fat is gone. I've got muscle definition and everything. It's like I went to bed and got 10 years worth of exercise all in one night. I'm including this photo since I immediately put on an old cosplay, but don't want to subject you all to my scrawny self without warning. Is this cheating at fitness?

[mincingminuet]

Yeah?

Who else?

[fiddlestick]

Eren and Natalia.

[mincingminuet]

Dunno them.
But that is cool.
I'd hate to be the one positive example.

[fiddlestick]

Aha, Natalia is Zack's and my cousin. And Eren's my boyfriend.
It is nice there's more positive examples!
Too bad I probably won't be one.

[Other self is also scrawny af]

[mincingminuet]

There are worse fates than being small.

I'm still short.

[fiddlestick]

Um...

Is being short the worst fate you mean? Because I'm short too......

[mincingminuet]

No, there are worse fates than being small, short, whatever.

Muscle didn't make me grow.

You could be made of algae or something. Or sprout fangs.

[fiddlestick]

.....Is there someone made of algae on the app?

[That's scary]

But no, I get what you mean. I don't sit around being bitter about my size!
Just you know, it'd be nice if there's a change, to have one like that.

[mincingminuet]

Right.

Well, maybe there's a spell or something, like in D&D? Embiggen!

[fiddlestick]

Oh yeah!

Haha, maybe so! Not sure that's a spell I want to learn though...

[mincingminuet]

No?

Why not?

[fiddlestick]

I dunno, it sounds messy? All that algae...

[mincingminuet]

Uh, the algae was just an example.

Embiggen just grows you up two size categories.

[fiddlestick]

Oh! Sorry!

...How big's a category?

[mincingminuet]

Oh right.
Okay.

Small Size is around 3 to 4 feet. Medium is 4 up to 7. That's humans, orcs, elves, etc.

Large size is 7 to 15, and there's categories that keep going. Large is the limit of the spell though.

[fiddlestick]

Huh.

So by that I'm somewhere in the lower part of the medium category... so it'd make me 7 to 15 feet tall if I used it?

[mincingminuet]

Yeah. Assuming too, that it's real.

Um. it's a D&D spell after all.

[fiddlestick]

[...]

My boyfriend can turn into a 20 foot giant.
And you and I are wizards.

I think we're past the point of pretending D&D spells being real is an impossible idea.

[mincingminuet]

Eh. Still.
It's like in Weirder Things.

The world isn't going to work exactly like in the player's handbook.
But man I wish it did.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I guess so...
It's too bad
I feel like magic would be a lot easier if we had actual spellbooks, you know?

[mincingminuet]

I agree.
Hopefully we'll get them one day.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, fingers crossed!
