[It's been a few months since Momo made a video post, but he starts off as brightly as ever, waving a red-nailed hand from where he's sitting on the couch in his cottage. He has his legs crossed on the seat, so his equally red toenails are all just as visible.]

Hey, so it's taken me a while to follow up on this, but a couple of months back I was asking around about the idea of getting together some kind of comprehensive resource on monster changes! Since I've met a lot of people who've been really blindsided by stuff, and while some of it hasn't been so bad, some of it is definitely the kind of thing that'd be super nasty to go through without any warning. So I'm asking for any monsters - or Witches who've seen a Bonded or close friend go through the changing process enough to have details - who are willing to answer a couple of questions on what kind of changes you have or know about!

[He holds up a written sheet - this particular one is written in Aefenglom's common language, in the standard alphabet rather than the runic one some books use.]

I'll leave a text copy of the answers on here so people can respond here, but I'll read them out too just in case there's people who can't read any of the three languages I know - I'll have the form in Aefenglom common, Japanese and English, but if you'd rather not read or write you can just answer here in voice or video and I can ask you the questions that way! But the questions I've got at the moment are:

What monster type are you?

What physical changes have you gone through?

What abilities or powers have you gotten from your change?

Have you had any mental or emotional changes as this type of monster?

Are there any weaknesses or allergies your monster type has?

Is there anything else about your monster type or the changing process that you think would be useful for someone changing into it to know?

I don't need paragraphs or anything, if you prefer to just dot point or list the basic stuff then that'll be helpful too! I had some people last time say they'd be interested in helping me compile the information, but it's still probably going to take a bit of time. Oh, and if you want a physical copy, you can either pick one up from me or I'll be figuring out a couple of places to leave them for easy access. And if you're a Witch answering on behalf of someone else, just let me know that in the first question.

Anyway, thanks in advance! [He makes a heart shape with both his hands.] If you have any questions or want to help out in another way or anything like that, feel free to ask. I might need some people to help me ask local monsters for types we don't have a lot of among the Mirrorbound, like arachne.

[[As Momo mentioned, there is a text form in three language options that can be filled out posted immediately after the initial video post, containing the listed questions plus a bonus one: "If you have completed your changes, how long did they take?"

If your character would prefer to answer the questions verbally, you are also welcome to handwave this if you prefer and simply post the answers they would have given in response to the form comment! Just note that they would have answered in audio/video form so I know if Momo would recognise their voice/face later.

If characters would prefer a physical copy to more easily ask someone to hit with a translation spell or otherwise, the initial locations given will be Momo's cottage and just inside the Looking-Glass House where they usually hold orientations.]]
