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?

He doesn't, but I know K does? [The one who's hopped into this conversation already.] I'm sorry you're stuck as a human, though. I wouldn't mind being something else. We're kind of awful a lot of the time.

And definitely not made for this heat. [A beleaguered sigh. He really does miss the apocalypse at times.]

[backsassin]

Awful's not species-exclusive, trust me. And even humans have good things about them—you all are pretty cute, for one thing.

[ There's a reason she tended to wear a human face back home—she just preferred it as a disguise rather than her actual body. ]

K... Do you mean Kaydee? You mean this kind of thing has happened to him before?

[lonelynotforsaken]

Ah, w-well some people are cute, for sure. Some of us just… are. [He offers a nervous, self-deprecating laugh to follow that.]

But, yeah. He, uh… he mentioned he’s been to other universes before.
