《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 14

Advertisement

I spent most of my time today trying to grow and form plant matter that behaves like skin. Getting something that looked the part was easy enough, however I'm not satisfied with something just looking the part.

I don't actually have any plants with the right qualities to perfectly mimic skin, and any attempts I made came up short. I can get almost there, but it always ends up feeling off, uncanny even. My facial expressions were always too rigid and slow, my skin didn't shine in quite the way normal skin does, and I don't quite move in a normal fashion. That and many more effects all cumulate in making me look just slightly off in a bad way.

Losing the monster part of my body had more effects than I had originally assumed. Now instead of walking by directing my legs to move directly, I instead have to do so through the use of plant manipulation. That goes for anytime I try to move any part of my body, which causes a very slight delay anytime I go to move. With the exception of increasing my reaction time by quite a bit it doesn't have much in the way of negative effects on me, but everyone says it looks creepy.

I can likely reshape and reform my body to make my movements look more natural, but that will likely take a lot longer than a day. And practice will go a long way to help speed up my movements. I'm basically just puppeting myself constantly.

Everyone requested that I do something other than try to make my body look as realistic as possible, as it was freaking everyone out. Instead Azrezel recommended I try to pursue a kind of 'ethereal beauty' and use Shimmerleaf as the main component of my skin. After a quick demonstration as to what that might look like everyone agreed that it was much better than trying to pursue some more realistic skin. My movements were still a bit off and eerie, but it was no longer as bad. According to Tiddol it was 'more interesting and less creepy, attractive even.' I'm satisfied by the results, given the time constraints.

Now I'm getting excited to work on my body. There are a lot of things that I wasn't able to do before thanks to some constraints on my body, but all of those constraints have been removed. The plants that I have integrated into my body did allow for some positive effects, but they were hardly designed for the purpose of existing and operating on their own. I can do a lot to improve on my current body. But the question is what direction should I take it? Obviously the first priority will be improving magical talent, but what else should I do? No idea, but I have time to think about that latter. For now I need to get ready for a party.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
