It...wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.

It was [i]disorienting[/i] for sure. [i]So[/i] disorienting. Everything was so [i]much[/i] all of a sudden, she could see [i]all[/i] the way to the right, and she didn't know if she liked it. She was huge, and the people below her were just pinpricks against the faraway floor.

Then Besca's voice came to her. Just came to her. She was doing great. She was passing the test. So far. Then Doctor Follen. Move her hands, stretch her arms, stretch her legs. Having them there lessened the [i]off[/i] feeling a little bit. She felt a little bit more grounded.

So she obliged the doctor, looking down at both her hands—both of them [i]evenly[/i]—as they lifted up into her line of sight. Opening and closing them, she trembled inside, though it didn't quite make it to the surface, she didn't think. where there should have been skin there was blackness and metal. At the tips were long claws [i]that she saw dig into Safie's neck and rip her head from her body[/i] no. no no no stop she needed to stay calm, she could [i]feel[/i] her breaths starting to surge into her suddenly enormous torso. In. Out. Three deep breaths.

She closed her eye—[b]eyes[/b]—to the tiny world, lifting up one arm, bending it, rolling her shoulders, rolling her wrist. One leg bent and then straightened, then the other right afterwards. With her eye [i]HER EYES[/i] closed, it felt almost like she was getting out of bed that morning. It was more comfortable too. The world was too wide and open.

"[color=FFE63D]This...this isn't so bad.[/color]" Then, "[color=FFE63D]Having two eyes feels weird.[/color]" She felt guilty as she said it. Besca was missing an eye too, and she probably wished she wasn't. She'd love to have it back. It just felt...so much. Maybe she would get used to it eventually. She opened them again, doing her best not to look at herself.

She hadn't heard the voice yet. That was good. Maybe it—maybe it wouldn't come at all.

"[color=FFE63D]So now I just wait?[/color]"

A moment. Eyes open now, she noticed something missing and frowned, though it felt strange and stretched on her face. "[color=FFE63D]Where's Deelie?[/color]"
