Just want to clarify something I said when I first got here:

Whatever brought me to this place didn’t just get me stuck in human form. It actually made me human.

Case in point: sweat glands. Clawdites don’t have them. Humans do.

On a related note: how do you all deal with being so wet all the time? I know it’s how you thermoregulate, but it feels so gross. I feel like I need to be carrying around a towel…

[ It’s one of many, many complaints Zam has about her new human physiology, but in the interest of not offending her majority-human fellow islanders, she’ll keep them to herself. For now. ]

Anyone else get their species swapped upon waking up here? And more importantly: what are the chances we'll be able to be turned back?

No, no! It's okay. I just don't want to cause any offense. I'm, um... w-we don't have anybody who's not human where I'm from. Not people, I mean.

[He shouldn't have made that clarification.]

It's just good to be mindful.

[ Unfortunately for Martin it's exactly what K zeroes in on. ]

Not people...?

W-well, we have... animals! And spiders and things. [He's going to try hard to save this.] They're there, they're just not- I mean, I think some animals can be sort of like people. Like a really good dog? Or a cat? When they've got a lot of personality. B-but it's not the same.
