Hm. I can't help but kind of like Melcara. Is that bad?

As a quarter-elf quarter-nymph who's been transformed into a creature resembling an ambulatory fruit, in a shrine centered around some undescribed ancient beings' recipe for bananas foster; I feel concern about chthonian sweetbread cuisine is entirely reasonable.

Wait. You're not an actual planty-derived creature? That makes me sad.

I feel like this is a reference that I'm not getting.

If that helps, it doesn't make a lot more sense in context (and that's just glorious!).

But still a relative.

It is sad that I've been unable to reverse the effect for several years now; I'm not sure anymore where the line on "actual" is supposed to...

...wait. Is "nouveau plante" a thing, now?

[Metastachydium]

I know my taxonomy. I don't know how nymphs fit into it, though.

Why would you not want to be a planty?

Yes, you sveg [<sine vegetabilitate], it is.

...Huh, shouldn't there be a new thread by now?

Maybe it's not approved yet. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the moderators forgot this place (the subforum, not the thread) even exists.

[Jasdoif]

Why would you not want to be a planty?

You mean besides how I don't accept that relics from cultures so long gone that "consent" isn't even extant, have the right to dictate aspects my identity through force of arms shoots magic thingies? Or that it's unduly difficult to convey solidarity with my people in this form?

If so: the gross divergence in tactile sensations, and how I'm abused by level adjustment stacking (I'm being double-charged for immunity to mind-affecting effects).

Yes, you sveg [<sine vegetabilitate], it is.

Aspects of apparent culture clash are issues as well.

So I assume we're talking about a magically binding contract? The kind where you've got to be extra careful about the wording.

I know of a librarian who might have something to say on the subject. Probably "ook" though.

It isn't. Nouvelle plante, now that just might be a thing.

I know my taxonomy. I don't know how nymphs fit into it, though.

Some squeezing is involved.

Why would you not want to be a planty?

The lack of mobility?

I feel that latter one! [With wailing lamentations.] Why is being awesome such a great sin that we should be punished for it?

Sounds like, yeah. (But then, maybe it's just something about contracts between the socially privileged carrying a greater weight than promises made to an ambulant skeleton.)

…
That's why I prefer sticking to the real Latin.

The lack of mobility?

I don't know. Jasdoif seems to have that one covered.

Gameplay mechanics. You'd be just ridiculously overpowered otherwise.

Why am I not allowed to photosynthesize!?

[andowero]

Anyone knows what happened? This is a pretty long pause...

Actually there's a second thread. I think Shoreward just forgot to post a link. I didn't know there was one until I checked their profile myself.
