[For those of you who know the fishman behind the username...this person is certainly not a fishman showing up on screen. He may as well be a male model doing a photoshoot on the beach with the way he slicks back his dark, wet hair while going shirtless underneath that open jacket. (No, there's no real sparkles, you're just imagining things.) Some things are the same such as his hard-earned muscles and the weird black lines that run down his chest.

The human is undoubtedly Zed when he finally opens his mouth:]

If any of you were curious, the Potion of Pining can indeed transform you into a different species. Not unlike the moonblessings, but it's a more complete transformation.

[He pauses to rub a hand against his neck while taking a deep breath, almost as if he hasn't had fresh air in a long time.]

I would say that switching primary organs for respiration was the most difficult part, but adjusting comes fairly quick. [What a blessing to not immediately suffocate. And after a blink--]

Eyelashes are...weird. [He clears his throat, feeling a bit silly, and turns off the feed.]

I see. Most Moonblessed seem to be humans or passing for humans.

Do you think you'd use the potion if you had it?

[zunge]

I'd noticed. The only one I've seen before that wasn't still could take on human form if he wanted.

Yes. It'd be worth experimenting with to see how much one could influence the transformation.

[He's fine with his appearance as it is. There's just a particular aspect that has nothing to do with appearance that he'd change if he could. If this potion can change someone's species to one that uses a whole different respiratory system, it could probably make the changes that interest him.]

[Zed's not usually one to pry, but he has to ask:]

What kind of transformation would you be aiming for?

[zunge]

Why do you ask?

[flying_fish]

Curiosity. You don't need to give me an answer. But usually when someone experiments with control in mind, they're aiming for something.

[zunge]

The only specific change in mind is private.

In general, I guess the limits of one's control over it. Whether it stays the same the whole eight hours of effect.

[flying_fish]

I can let you know if there's any shift in the transformation over time.

[zunge]

That'll work.
