In Milliways, the front door opens.
<I would suggest attributing the weirdness to the species difference or the age gap but there was a species difference and an age gap in both cases, I take it.>
<I am confused by the popularity of that descriptor, 'Andalite' is shorter. I don't call you a hairless bipedal moutheater very often.>
<And I have never really regarded myself as an alien, though 'blue' can pass uncontested.>
"And 'centaur'. It's very convenient we actually have a word for the body plan or you'd probably be a bit difficult to conceptualize."
<And in Hazel they even exist! That's very strange but I suppose not stranger than anything else.>
<The existence of other species with our body plan is unsurprising; their existence on some Earths while on other Earths they are mythological creatures is a bit strange.>
"Yeah, Hazel has a lotta those. I wanna turn into a unicorn. - You should acquire an Elf, I turned into Mirelótë and the vision is astonishing, if morph tech ever gets good enough or if somebody ever has an experimental accident while a daeva I might adopt hers or maybe her-but-fits-into-my-clothes as a base form and morph from there."
<I have not tested the interaction of morph and indestructibility, what do we know about it?>
"I can still morph, I didn't have to re-touch the cube. I can't deliberately 'heal from' a morph, I have to demorph. I think that's the same morph instincts that let us move around and stuff supplanting usual body plan. I don't know if that'd change if I overstayed the two hour limit. I haven't tried adding wings to my baseline, mostly because I expect to go back to more or less what I was doing and having wings would be weird there, plus I don't want to have to learn to fly after having cheated off various birds."
< - oh, I suppose demons would actually need the wings to fly, that makes sense. And your morphed forms are indestructible as well?>
<It seems like improving morphing technology might actually be the most tractable approach to immortality for the multiverse as a whole - it does not have the scaling problems that summoning does ->
