02 ☣ [VOICE] [OPEN]

[When Sherry speaks it’s clear she’s nervous, her voice is just a little too tense for casual conversation.]

Okay so I know people have been mu- changing, but has anyone had any changes around the eyes in particular? Like glowing spots?

I’m just trying to make sure this is the same thing everyone else is going through and not- uh, something else.

That isn't 'silly' at all. If such is a sign of illness in your world, it is perfectly rational to be concerned.

Suffice to say, I feel as though many of us are experiencing...differences that we aren't normally accustomed to so it would follow that yours is likely similar.

[g_jr]

Thank you. Are you going through this now or were you one of the people who changed before?

And you're right, a couple of friends have already shown me that they've been affected the same way [Sherry's tone turns amused.] The effect is quite dramatic when they turn their lights off.

[abidethewalls]

I too am experiencing some...interesting changes myself, you are not alone in being alarmed. However the patches of light are not so different than what I- how do I even say- what my skin normally has so they have been the least of my worries. I can certainly see how it would be dramatic for anyone not used to such, however.

[Okay, that is a little funny to imagine though.]

[g_jr]

You normally have glowing skin? If you don't mind me asking sir, Are you human?

[abidethewalls]

I am not. I am Awoken, though I will hazard that that means very little, if anything, to you?

[A moment later there’s a picture sent along of a blue hand, slightly colored with softly glowing whirls of purple.]

[g_jr]

I'm afraid not, I'm from a world where there are only humans. [And considering how they treat each other that's probably a good thing.]

Are you from an Earth or another planet?

[abidethewalls]

As are many that have been taken here, I've come to notice.

[It's a little strange, actually. Humans have always been prolific, but there's nary an Awoken or Exo to be found.]

I assure though, I am from Earth as much as I can be, though more than like a different 'Earth' than you know.
