I've checked this three tiems, so it better be locked.

I haven't asked this in a while, so it's an open question to all mages. I'd especially like MAGI's input. Any help in shapechanging spells, transforamtion, and so on would be appreciated. The problem is this:

I was born human. As those of you who've met me know, I'm not any more. I was transformed some years ago into a chimera -- 1/3 human, 1/3 brau demon and 1/3 golem. I want to transform back.

I've already heard from Yuuko, so I just want to know what all my options are. If need be, I can learn to cast a spell myself -- I'm a pretty good mage.

I still haven't given Yuuko an answer about whether I'd take her wish or not. I nearly forgot.

I should decide.

Funny, I thought I'd be miserable going back to this body, but I feel strangely... relaxed. Maybe some of you all were right, and the reminder that it's possible improved my mood. Whatever it is, I feel surprisingly happy.

I did apologize to Gotsumon for yelling at him, by the way. Who knows, maybe the date auction will be fun.

You've got another virus, don't you?

Gotsumon, you can't blame everything I do on a virus.

I don't. Just when you start acting different. Anyway, I haven't seen your bid post up yet.

Oh? Oh, well. I'll have to do something else then.

*click*

I still don't get it, Zelgadis...

Oh, never mind.

But, I thought this was what you wanted. I mean, it's all you talk about.

It's a virus. That means it won't last.

Well, yeah... but you should enjoy yourself why it's happening. Go out and celebrate.

I don't feel like celebrating. [pause] Are you recording this?

*nervous chuckle* What gave you that idea

I can hear something beeping. Goddammit, Gotsumon, the whole Digital World does not need to know my personal life.

I just thought it would help.

How?

Well, maybe one of your friends would have better luck talking you out of this funk.

This is not a funk. This is perfectly reasonable. Why don't you just leave me alone?

Not the time I signed you up for Eri's charity date auction next week, is it?

*sound of something hitting the ground*

Rey wing!

Hey, Zelgadis! Come back! It's dangerous out there!

*sounds distant* I'll come back when I'm good and ready. Until then, go bother someone else.

Well, that went well... could someone who isn't me help out?

((OOC: In short, if you've interacted with Zel substantially, you're probably on the list. If you aren't sure, ask me.))

Hi, Gotsumon here! Anyway, I saw that another Tamer was having a date auction for Valentine's Day, and I thought to myself, 'Hey, Gotsumon, your Tamer could use a night on the town, why not sign him up?' But then I wanted to make sure no one else was going to ask him out for Valentine's Day. I mean, considering how he reacts to strangers, it's probably better to get someone he knows to take him out on a date or something. So, if no one wants to take him out, I'm gonna sign him up.

Also, he might not have told you guys this, but I found out his birthday is at the end of the month.

...

I just checked the date of my first entry in this thing. I've been stuck here for over a year.

I've been in one place for far too long. Time to pack up and head somewhere new in my search.

Now, where in the Digital World haven't I looked into?

Anyone have a recommendation for a bar, preferably without talking mistletoe? These damn things are making me want to get drunk.

Oh, just because you are so self-loathing that any mention of the truth drives you to drink... if you're going to go out, at least find someone cute to go with you and have a good time, instead of wallowing in an alcohol-induced stupor, like you're probably planning to do.

What? You got to be kidding. Well, I really got my work cut out for me.

Hey, now, be careful. Zelgadis is a pretty cool guy.

He sounds like a loser... how many girls has he traveled with and he hasn't even asked one to dinner, let alone tried to put the moves on one? I mean, there's the cute dark haired girl. She totally has a thing for him.

What, Amelia? Well, yeah, but...

Or there's the redhead or the blonde...

Lina sets things on fire. And Filia is a dragon.

Or if he swings that way (and given what he's turning down, he probably does), there's the brawny swordsman. Very nice, if I do say so myself.

I really don't think he does swing that way. It's just...

What? He's smart, a bit of a bad boy but not in a really dangerous way, has the whole hurt-comfort thing going on for him. Plus... well, I don't think I have to spell it out for a Rock Digimon, ifyouknowwhatImean.

Yeah, well...

Hey, ladies and gents and Digimon! Open call on the chimera. Free kisses under the mistletoe ^_^

Oh, man, Zelgadis is gonna kill me.

Gotsumon, what are you doing with the D-comm?

Can anyone give me the Lightpost coordinates for somewhere far, far away?

Zelgadis! The man of the hour! Say hi to the folks at home!

... What the hell.

This is not funny, Gotsumon.

So, random changing into animals? I can't say it's ever happened to me, but somehow it's not surprising given this world.

It's still not funny.

Can't I at least attach the picture?

NO.

But you make such a cute-

Give me that!

*sounds of a struggle*
