You're part of this. She loves you too. Anyway, shouldn't you feel happy that Amiel is happy? What happened to being okay with a three-way, back there when they were removing the tape?

I say offer to hug, to be polite, instead of barging in there. Or you could be a wimpy wimp and stand there awkwardly and maybe say "Um..." to get their attention so they invite you into the hug.

do remember that's she is mortal and that unless you give up your powers or talk her into becoming a majibeast that you will outlive her and possibly be alone again. and that dilia will also get old and pass on unless she magiks up as well.

Join the hug and triple its power!

WIth two people, it's two hugs (one each way). WIth 3 people, it's 6!

That feeling in the pit of your stomach? That's your cowardice and uncertainty and doubt. And you know what? It can damn well stay there, 'cause the rest of you is walking right over there to be in a weird and wonderful relationship with two of the best women you've ever known.

G'on Sekani, give 'em a big fluffy hug. Don't be a big chicken and walk off.

Sekani tries not to think about that. Even though she won't... always be there, they've years and years to spend together. It'll... it'll be fine.

>>383518
Just because they kind of sort of turned Sekani on a little bit doesn't mean he's ready to jump into something long-term! And Sekani is not a wimp! He only cried like three times tonight! That's far less than it used to be!

>Although if Jiniki sees then your romance hug will turn into an awkward group hug.
"Yay huggies~! Does this mean you're going to have a million babies and live happily ever after and if you do can I name one I want to name her Princess Kili'si which means princess in our language so she'd be Princess Princess hehe~"

Just how much does she know, anyway? They scramble for a way to change the subject.

Uh... ask... what... some other words in her language are??

"Hey Jiniki, have you ever levitated yourself? 'Cause then you'd be able to fly, and walk on the ceiling!"

>Just how much does she know, anyway?
Well she has spent decades here, maybe she read a few of the books from the labs? She did that computer hacking thing a while back, who knows what other things she knows all about that people don't realize?

Hmm. Ask her if she likes science?

>>383702

Yup! You're gonna have like a bajillion babies. And by babies, you mean hugs.

Yeah. Totally innocent.

...

...

WOMEN POOP BABIES

>>383702
"You totally know where babies come from already, don't you."

>>383710
>>383712

Babies come from hugs, of course!

>>383702
Amiel: "Pretty sure you need to be the same species to have babies, but I've been wrong about less strange stuff before."

That usually depends on the setting. For all we know, halfbreeds are a thing! Just rare what with all the tabooness.

Though the whole Sekani being a bird and the girls being mammals might make things a liiiiittle more difficult on top of that.

...Dangit! Now the thought of children and how these three can't have any of their own (majicka notwithstanding) is going to get stuck in their heads. Then the doubt and second guessing will start all over.

There are solutions to that, though. Adoption, sperm donors, a Tezakian Harem... etc.

And there's always adopting Jini.

>>383904
Um, Jini's has a mom. As much as she is sweet enough to over come my overwhelming fear of bugs. But their are lots of kids in the world that don't have families. A "War" going on tends to make that happen.

Maybe you can see if grasshopper can distill something from the worm juice. You know just enough magebeast transformation to give a hint of the power (and the initial crazy) but still get the increased life span.

Senkani like what he is, and should have to go back. You too might be able to meet him half way.

It was a joke >_>

Adopting a war orphan is a good idea, though, and definitely ties in with the group's mission etc.

>>383936
Actually if the previous aging pattern holds true, in 80 years Jini will only be the equivalent of a 10 year old. She might be in her 80's or 90's now. Even though she knows more she isn't any more mature than a were responsible child. So joke or not, they may need to adopt her.

"Um, we're going to have a billion hugs?" Sekani says.

"Yes~ Hugs and kissies and babies~"

>Babies come from hugs, of course!
"That's where babies come from by the way if you were curious at all."

"Nuh uh~ If that was true this room would be filled with so many babies and oh gosh that would be so cute and I'd hug them all and there'd be more babies and then--"

>>383706
"Just how much do you know? Didn't you read a bunch of books while you were here?"

"They didn't have books on babies, silly~ They were mostly big ol books on all the sciences they did here~ I learned a ton about majicka and how to control it."

>Can't have hybrids?
"Anyway, the three of us can't really have babies since we're different races..."

If it comes down to it, there's always Sekani Jr. Delkin generally takes care of him, but they can at least be "aunts" and "uncles" for him.

"You can so have hybrid-y babies~ If you couldn't then Jaysiph couldn't have existed and he super existed and when we meet again in Ki'ski we're going to be super best friends forever and have double hybrid-y babies and be super happy~"

But he was created by... Sekani really doesn't like where this is going. He decides to change the subject completely.

Besil, Iflis... nobody will ever replace you. Dilia will always remember the times you shared with her, the good and the bad. She was wrong to have asked Majicka to remove these memories. They are a part of her, and they will be with her for the rest of her days.

But you wouldn't want her being miserable and alone just because you two are gone, huh? You've probably been berating her this whole time for nearly breaking things off with Amiel... just because she was afraid of replacing you.

But she's not replacing anyone. Dilia sees now that she has room in her heart for all three of you.

...And Sekani, too. It won't be easy, but they've always worked things out in the end, haven't they?

So until she sees you again in the afterlife, she will let herself be happy here with Amiel. Dilia is grateful that you have watched and guided her all this time, but she believes she will be fine from now on.

So this is farewell... until they meet again.

One that's even harder now than it was before.

Don't drink it.

Or before you decide, list the reasons why you would want to and why you would not.

Aww, Jiniki is super adorable. Also is making some really good points. Those scientists are dead, but they clearly took lots of notes... You probably COULD make hybrid babies work.

I think you should take the majicka. Either way you're going to be with Dilia for her whole life if things work out, and if you take it you can be with Sekani for all of his. Not to mention that you can help out with Jiniki. You're obviously a bit better-headed than Sekani or Tayza. Plus, who wouldn't want to live forever WITH SUPERPOWERS? There's nothing that can possibly be a negative if you get the power. Are the reservations you have worrying that you'll live to see her die? Because that might end up happening anyway.

Would you want her to keep going on without you if she were in your place?

>>383966
Ask Dilia what you should do, then drink half of it to see if that's enough.
If so, give the remainder to Dilia so she can spend over a year tormented by this.
If not, finish the bottle.

In my opinion, theres are pros and cons to drinking it. Let's list them, shall we?

Pros:
Get to take care of Dilia when she gets old.
Get to live forever(Although, can be a con.)
Get to live with Sekani and he won't have to watch you get old and die.
Of course, the powers.
Similarly to above, can communicate to others using Magicka.


Cons:
Have to watch family die.
Lose normal talking mostly.
Easy to get drunk. Hard to get sober.
Insanity.


Overall, my recommendation is to drink it. But, talk with Dilia and Sakani and discuss with them what they think on the subject.

I mean, they're opinions are the final decision. If they say to drink it, drink it. If not, don't. If one says yes and one says no, meh.

>>383966
FIND MAJIK JOHNSON, IF YOU CAN'T FIND HIM, DRINK THAT SHIT

This is clearly a decision that needs to be made with Sekani and Dilia, not alone.

>>383966
I think trying to share a diluted solution with Dila is still your best choice. If she wants to do it that is. Less power seems to mean less crazy to cope with. And the crazy is temporary. With out Iliji to keep you messed up you should level out after a day or two of being bipolar. Dila stayed nuts because she had issue going in. Also your motivation and state of mind seen to have an effect on your condition. You wanted power befor. Do this for love. The bird of your life motivated his final transformation with freedom and compassion. Look how he turned out.

Definitely do not drink it =(

So far as I can tell, magicka affects people's personalities rather drastically, often even makes people crazy! Just look at the track record…

Shela/Iiji: Went insane and wanted to take over the world, more or less.

Dilia 1.0: sex hungry and also pretty crazy.

Tayza: We haven't seen non-magicka infused Tayza, really, so it's hard to compare her to her past form, but look at her now! Granted, she's one of the least extreme cases.

Jini: When you guys first met her, she was perfectly fine with just killing you guys. Despite just being a big kid. Do you really think that Magicka didn't affect her inhibitions there?

Delkin: Oooooh boy Delkin. Again, we haven't seen him unmagicka'd, but Delkin's pretty out there.

Jayseph: Poor, poor Jayseph. It's quite likely that part of his insanity was caused by his chimera-ness, but how can you be sure Magicka wasn't a factor? It certainly doesn't look good.

Sekani: We're not sure how much Sekani has changed, it could be very little, and he's certainly the most tame of the major magibeasts we've encountered. You could probably ask him how much his personality changed before magicka, assuming he knows.


And of course, there was when you were powered by Magic Johnson. How could you forget the personality change that caused? You hated what you became! Do you really want to risk that again? You don't know how much of that was Magic Johnson, and how much of it was just magicka in general.

I know it'll mean Sekani having to watch you grow old, and all that other stuff, but if magicka changes your personality so drastically again… you wouldn't be the same person Dilia and Sekani love. And that's an even -worse- thing to do to them. So no matter what you do, don't drink it!

Who has the same personality from one day to the next? Sometimes you have to take life by the horns. You don't have to hate what you become any more than you have to hate what you are right now. Are you happy with yourself? Do you ever regret being purged of that power? Of course you do; you're doing it right now. You're just the sort of person who regrets, whether you take it or not. Is that the kind of person you want to be, someone who regrets who they are? If not, then drink and be merry, and have no regrets. You can take this world by storm.

Amiel, lay down what's stopping you from downing that right now. Is it the possibility it'll make you insane? Change who you are? Or that you'll outlive everyone you know who isn't a ki-jaara? That you'll just be generally "different?" C'mon, tell us what's running around inside your head.

>>383966
...There's no way to split that majicka into two effective doses, right?

DONT. DO NOT DRINK IT.

That... stuff... is the cause of literally every problem you've had. You've done it once before, sure, but you went a little crazy and power-hungry. You'd just end up hurting the ones you love, and besides... They love you the way you are, not the monstrous way you could be.

Amiel, when you got majicka'd up before, it was under duress, in a horribly stressful situation. It's no wonder you went power-mad, but you did manage to pull back in time.
However, now, you're in a safe place, with friends, and your two beloveds. If you take the majikca, they'll care for and watch over you. Plus, Jiniki can keep an eye on how things are going in the transformation. These are just about the best conditions for taking majicka there have been, for a quite some time.

...And if worse comes to worst, there's always the LIGHT BLUE SOLUTION. It won't come to that, but it's there, just in case.

>>383982

Geeze louise man it's not that bad.

In fact the insect people used it for years until Iiji came along, and she only went crazy because she got treated with extra bad super weird magicka.

>>383966
Ask Sekani and Dilia, obviously.

"We'll be fine with whatever you decide, sweety. As long as you're happy."

Stupid freaking supportive mumble grumble...

>>383968
>>383971
Those are pretty much the things to consider. She also has to consider that her family might consider her a monster, and she might not ever get to go home again. And yeah, she could lose the ability to talk to anyone who's never had majicka in their system. There's no saying for sure if she could talk normally or not.

Of course, the CURE means she could change her mind later, but since there's only one chance at this, she would rather pretend the CURE doesn't exist so she can be sure of what she wants.

Suggestions before and after this post will be considered. No need to repost!

>>383992
So being a majithingy yourself is a no go, but your family would be cool with you dating one?

Also I mean Tayza can talk. If she practiced it more often instead of just using mind talk powers she'd probably even figure out where to put the consonants to not sound like she has a speech impediment.

>>383992
Maybe you can get Jiniki to mess with the majicka so that it applies long-life to two people without any real power. Dilia and you could have extended lifespans, but wouldn't really gain anything else?

So what happens if you just take a little? Say... half of it?

It really sounds like what you want is long life, not necessarily powers.

Talk to Tayza and Jiniki. Tayza has crazy healing powers, and Jiniki has crazy magicka control powers (and knowledge). Between the two of them, maybe they can figure out a way to extend your life (and Dilia's) without you becoming Magibeasts yourselves?

If not, Jiniki is a great person... err, bug to talk about the transformation with. She (with the emotional support of Sekani and Dilia) can probably help guide you into becoming a relatively sane Magibeast. But getting her opinion on things - especially on how hard or easy it might be to retain your personality after transformation - is probably an important thing. You should talk with her before making any final decisions.

>>384011

You know what? This suggest wins. This is exactly what should be done.

If you don't drink it then you risk dying first and leaving behind two sad people whose relationship with each other had been built around you.

If you're blessed with a long life, you could become the last important person inevitably torn from Sekani's life by an uncaring universe, leaving him with the knowledge that should he ever manage to find anyone he loved as much as you that they would be taken from him in the same way.

Alternatively, you could drink up and save Sekani the worry of you leaving him, and still enjoy Dilia's inclusion in your relationship until she passes on and joins those awaiting her in the afterlife.

>>383992

Omg, omg... best idea!


WORLD'S. COOLEST. LAVA-LAMP.

>>384017
That's an interesting way of looking at it. If Amiel uses the majicka, then she will prevent Sekani from losing BOTH Dilia and Amiel at around the same time. If she doesn't use it, then she gets to grow old with Amiel... that's the only benefit.

This isn't just about choosing which of the two to grow old with. It's also choosing who has to grow old without someone.

It makes sense to use the majicka in some manner. It benefits the most people.

Also, something I'm not sure of- how long will Dilia live WITHOUT majicka? What are your estimated lifespans right now?

>>384021
>Cool
>Ice powers
Fuck you, good sir. So much.

>>383992
Amiel, whichever way you choose, your family still deserves to know everything that's happened to you; The fight with Iiji, your feelings towards Sekani and Dilia, all of it. Pour your heart and soul out into that letter, recording, or whatever form your message takes. If you ever hope of seeing them again on decent terms, this is your first step, majicka or no.

If you do choose the majicka, you're going to want a record of your transformation. It will show to anyone, that whatever form you take, you are still Amiel. That you chose this yourself, of your own free will. And it should be recorded for posterity anyway. You could very well be the last person to take majicka for a long, long time; Possibly forever.

As for outliving your family, well... It's good odds you would have outlived your mother anyway, and have a high chance of outliving your brother, if he was born before you. However, if you take the majicka, you could be there for your neices and nephews, and their children, and their children's children, and beyond. You wouldn't outlive your family, even with majicka, as long as you're part of it.

You have the secret to near immortality AND superpowers there and you're considering not drinking it? I mean if you don't want it we could always try auctioning it to the richest couple of people on the planet and make the GDP of a small nation, because there are certainly people who would give literally anything for this chance that you're questioning.

>>384011
This...seems like a good idea! Let's ask the one who actually has meta-majikk powers to help.

Shela-- Iiji threw Magic Johnson into a random portal, so he probably died when he couldn't find anything biological to live on.

>...There's no way to split that majicka into two effective doses, right?
>So what happens if you just take a little? Say... half of it?
"...So I was wondering if the dose could be split in half, between two random people. Hypothetically."

"don'd dalk sho loud..." Tayza says.

"Did you forget to drink water?"

"shud ub. i dhoughd i could majicka id bedder."

"...But you can't cure poison. I think hangovers count."

"I see... um, speaking of random questions that have nothing to do with me, is it possible for you to make someone live longer without them taking majicka, Tayza?"

"What? Ow..." "(I could probably give you a few more years, but I can't make you stop aging. No more talking until I get my medicine.)"

"(Damn it robot I'm making you my next prey.)"

If they get some researchers to help Grasshopper, it's likely possible they could live a good bit longer. That doesn't really help her decision, but it's nice to know Dilia could be around longer...

Amiel decides to leave Tayza to her misery and give talking to Sekani and Dilia another shot.

"...You say I should do what I want, but would you really be okay with me dying years before you do?" Amiel asks.

"T-there's no reason to think about that. We'll have plenty of time together."

"That's easy to say now. I will probably die when I'm Jiniki's age, and she's yet to leave childhood. I'll be gone before you even hit middle age."

"I'll... find a way to deal with that. If you don't want to take it, don't do it for my sake."

"What if I do take it and it turns me into a different person?"

"I don't think that will happen. Majicka lowers our inhibitions, and the transformation can bring out the worst in us, but we don't just become someone else. We've all gone through the change and stayed the same people."

"What about Dilia?"

"She changed because she wanted to. You aren't planning on asking Majicka to remove your memories like she did, right?"

"I... no, but what if it's like last time? Majicka made me do some terrible things."

"Last time was different. Majicka was forced on you by a ...whatever that thing was. This time, you'd be taking a weaker, non-sentient majicka and it'd be by choice. As long as you want to stay who you are, you'll be fine. And we'll be there to help you through it."

Sekani looks away and sighs. "…But if you don't want to take it, then don't. And definitely don't do it for my sake."

Amiel can tell by the tone of his voice that Sekani wants her to take it so they can be together all their lives. It's probably taking everything he has not to beg her to do it. Everyone calls him a crybaby, but Sekani can be strong when he has to be. Not once has he insisted she change her life for him, and she's grateful for that. It's one of many reasons she knows their relationship will last.

"I... I'm going to talk to Dilia. I'll let you know what I'll do after that, okay? Sorry for making you wait so long on this."

"Even if I kept my memories, I'd still be changed. I doubt Tayza was quite so 'alpha'-minded before, and Jiniki used to kill people; She didn't even realize it was wrong. Even Sekani's different now. He was scared to death when we first met, but now look at him."

Amiel thinks she has a chance of changing Dilia's mind, but she doesn't want to pressure her. She needs to be a good girlfriend like Sekani.

she knows what she said.

Anyway Magicka didn't make you do terrible things, did it? Magicka made you save the day and help all your friends. Magic Johnson was a total bro.

Dilia doesn't want it. There are a lot of things worth convincing someone of, but something this drastic? I don't think it's worth deciding for her when she's already chosen. No matter what, you'll be with them both for a long time, but for Sekani at least, you have an opportunity to be with him for centuries, or even forever if you're there in time for the right science. If you do this all in a controlled environment, nothing bad will come of it, and yet you will reap immeasurable good. Not to mention that the world might need a protagonist party again sometime in the future, and one more can't hurt.

Don't push her. That's not a good way to start a relationship.

>>384328
It sounds like it's coming down to a single question.

Do you WANT to be an awesome ice monster? Honestly Jiniki's behavior can be easily explained by the fact that she was a little kid. Little kids don't understand death and pain very well, and their mothers have a LOT LOT LOT of influence on their behavior. Tayza and Sekani's changes can be explained by the fact that they became awesome, and thus gained confidence in themselves. Honestly, Sekani barely changed at all. You might change because you'd be stronger, but I doubt majicka will outright change your personality if the process is done right and for the right reasons.

Besides, remember what you did last time, even when you asked for the most corrupting thing- power. Hmm. What if you asked the majicka specifically for some way to help Dilia live longer?

>>384328

Just out of curiosity, what is Dilia afraid might happen to her?

... because maybe this is something we should worry about for ourselves. And if this is a big deal, let's get Sekani in and ask him if he feels Magicka changed him at all, and if so, whether or not he feels those changes were worth it.

As far as you yourself are concerned, remind yourself of everything previously discussed in >>375578 .

As far as Dilia goes, it's her decision. Think about how she feels about the affair. She has powerful negative associations with it, and if she does take it, she'll have a hard time getting past a constant worry that she might hurt someone again.

But don't let her concerns drag you down. Magicka cannot be responsible for every single change anyone has gone through.
People going power-mad like Shela is a known phenomenon for entirely mundane reasons, and won't be a problem for any of you thanks to the large group of equally strong friends you know you can rely on to check and balance eachother—in fact, your own participation will help ensure that.
Jiniki had been led astray by her own mother, in whom she had ultimate trust—and even then, when her error was presented to her, she realized and accepted this, and modified her behavior accordingly.
Sekani's newfound strength and confidence is regular growth of maturity and a result of having been tested by a challenging situation and having suceeded.
Tayza has simply finally attained what she long wanted, and is no longer forced by physical weakness to be anything but truly herself.
And finally, Dilia accepts her responsibility for her actions. This is part of why she fears returning to Magicka.

You know you can handle this. Even under the influence of Johnson you were able to keep your priorities straight, and simple non-sentient magicka will pose no such threat to your self control.

>>384340
Dilia is afraid she will repeat her earlier errors and hurt people. She's since overcame the motivations that caused that in the first place, though, so her concerns may well be unfounded. Even so, it's her place to decide; pressuring her to make a decision will just put unnecessary strain on the relationship we only just now finally began to stabilize, and it is better that Dilia be gone after a normal, happy, lifetime, than that she spend centuries with you under duress.

Amiel, you don't have to force the issue. Take half the majicka, if you want to, and leave the other half for Dilia, if she wants it. If she doesn't ever want it, then take the other half yourself. Or not, if you don't want more.

Oh, if you do take it, it might possibly cure your colorblindness. You can ask Grasshopper about that later.

>>384347
In fact, Dilia might prefer that we take it all, in the interest of not leaving any temptation. We should ask her which way she'd prefer, since dooming her to an early grave is fairly serious business.

Teasing option: Dilia is afraid of losing her hands again. Offer to help her with that, as long as you don't lose yours, too.

Serious option: Tell her you'll just drink half and let her hold on to it like you've been holding onto the jar. She can decide what to do with it in good time.

>>384328
"Jinki's mentally five years old. She thought she was helping people. All Majicka did was give her power and keep her innocent.
Sekani changed for the better, in the end. Don't get me wrong, I loved his old self just as much, but he's happier now. He has confidence, and he's more in control of himself.

I've decided I'm going to drink half of this, and save the other half for you. You can see how it changes me, and decide for yourself.
Does that sound ok?"

Get her and Sekani into one of your bedrooms, lock the door, drink your half, and stay together until the changes are complete. Sexytimes optional.

Grasshopper say's the half dose option will work then do it. You look like your mind is nearly made up to do it already. If you leave the other half for Dilia she can deiced later. In fact seeing you come through your transformation alright might be a better argument in favor of her joining you than words.

Every one is right pressuring her is wrong. But you really have time on your side here.

You really need to take it yourself what ever happens. Sekani said don't do it for his sake. But it's going to eat at him that he will loose you to age while he's still young. If you really love him then that pain he feels will torment you. If you want to be happy it the only real viable solution.

In time Dilia will see that too.

If it were split, would both halves be equivalent to the whole? Can you take more after you already have it? We don't want to split it and still have Dilia decline, and then find out that we've made ourselves unable to have the full effect. Dilia is already against her having any, so we should just not take any risks and drink it all. As for being corrupted and all that I think a lot of it was because of Iiji influencing people and the one you got having a mind of its own.

>>384366
This sounds good.

But...you know...WHY AREN'T WE HAVING JINIKI WHO CAN ACTUALLY ADJUST THE RESULTS HELP YOU BOTH GET WHAT YOU WANT

>>384448
This is a great point. Point out to Dilia (and yourself) that Jiniki can help ensure neither of you run afoul of unpredicatable or ill-understood choices or side effects.

>>384347 >>384424
I definitely agree that we need to check to make sure splitting it and taking half later won't damage it or reduce its effectiveness, but if that turns out not to be the case then I think that doing this might be a better option than what I previously voted for. If not then I still say drink it all.

Actually, I had a thought: We were able to find two majicka creatures and drain one of them after less than a day of aimlessly wandering the nearby desert. If we actually do routine missions we might be able to find more. And we do still have the labs here and a good deal of the notes, we might even be able to... no, that one sounds too much like the backstory to the original quest to be safe.

Oh huh, missed this.

Seconding/thirding/whatevering the talk about talking with Jini. And Delkin too. As skewed as his opinions may be, that doesn't mean his insight can't be useful. I'm pretty sure those are the only active Kijara still wandering around though. There's been a lot of good advice in the previous comments, but I'd still like Jini's and Delkin's thought's before making a final decision. And, uh, anyone else who is/was a kijara for a signifficant period of time.

As for Dilia… don't press the issue at all. Hug her and say you won't force her at all. And that you'll still need to think about it a little more yourself now that she's declined.

Oh, and if you're going to talk to your parents, you should probably do it before downing Mr. Green-Jar-Turned-Blue-Jar. Preferably via skype or whatever equivalent you guys have, but make sure you guys can see each other. I know how important it is to you to resolve things with your family, so you should do it.

"I don't think they changed because of majicka, not directly," Amiel says. "Jiniki was just a child who believed what her mother told her was right. She's since learned to think for herself. We all go through that growing up. Tayza was always headstrong, from what little she's said about her past. It sounded like they had to tie her down to keep her in a hospital bed. Majicka gave her freedom, and underneath her anger you can tell she's very happy.

"Sekani... I don't think Majicka alone is why he's more confident and brave now. He went through so much a year ago and got stronger for it. I saw him learn and grow into who he is now, and majicka had nothing to do with it."

"Maybe... but I'm not strong like they are. I couldn't handle it again."

"Dilia, you helped me fight Magic Johnson despite how easily I could have hurt you. You could have run and hid, but you stayed with me. You're always helping people and never asking for anything. You've gone through more than any of us, but you don't let it get to you. You're the strongest person I know."

"And Jiniki would be there to guide you. It's okay if you honestly want to live as a normal Diuban, but if you're afraid you'll hurt someone, don't be. I'll be with you every step of the way, helping you like you helped me."

>Drink it, is basically the theme of what we're suggesting here.
"...Yeah. I want to live a long life, helping my people and Zalika. There will be some problems, but... I'll get through them as long as I have you two supporting me."

"I'm glad you figured out what you want. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just afraid of hurting someone, and maybe I shouldn't be. But I need time to think on it, okay? I at least want to stay normal long enough to get Zalika established. When we have more people and someone else can be an ambassador, I'll let you know what I decide."

>Don't pressure Dilia
"That's perfectly fine. I don't want to rush or pressure you at all. Just go with what you want and don't worry about anything else, okay?"

"Okay, sweety. Thanks."

"Oh, did it work?"

"Yep! Mister robot and I split it! We also made it better so you should be able to use majicka even with half of it~"

"Ice powers, huh? That's awesome. And I'll be able to keep my mind? I'll still be me?"

"You'll still be you as long as you want to be you. I'll help you like I helped mister birdie so everything will be super okay."

"Um, if Dilia decides against it, what would happen if I took the other one?"

"I think you'll mutate a little more and have way better majicka. It should maybe be the same as if you took it all now. Tell me first though okay so nothing goes wrong."

"You weren't planning on drinking that without us, were you?" Sekani asks. "We're here to support you!"

"We want to help you with this in any way we can," Dilia says.

"We'll get through this with the power of love!"

Dilia chuckles. "I forgot you were so dramatic, Sekani."

This place sure looks familiar.

"Amiel... tell me, what do you desire most? Is it POWER, using Majicka to achieve your every desire? Is it STRENGTH, so that nobody can ever push you around? Or do you want SWIFTNESS, to go faster and further than anyone's gone before?"

Amiel considers her options.
