52 48 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_000 Ah, look at those rosy cheeks and that sharp silhouette. While our own decision to discard our corporeal forms was of course an enlightened one at the time, I must confess there are some times when I fondly think back on the days when I, too, was a tangible being.
53 49 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_001 Oh, what I would not give to don proper fleshy raiments once more before I pass into the void! To that end, I have been exploring the possibility of inhabiting another physical form, but...I fear there is a rub. For you see, I cannot for the life of me recall what my true form once was!
54 50 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_002 I blame it on the execrable and excruciating flow of time. Alas, I doubt I could even manipulate a body now if I wanted to. Mayhap you might indulge me with a serviceable demonstration?
55 51 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_003 Your elongated appendages greatly contrast with our current gaseous composition, but I wonder if your general sense of mobility was similar to that of our original physical presences. So let us see it, then! Humor me with a display of sheer joy!
56 52 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_005 Go on─use the entire breadth of your unwieldy but somehow charming physique! An exaggerated overture of joy, if you please!
57 53 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_SYSTEM_000_006 The Ea eagerly awaits a demonstration of how corporeal beings such as you express happiness. Make a physical expression of <UIForeground>F201F4</UIForeground><UIGlow>F201F5</UIGlow>joy<UIGlow>01</UIGlow><UIForeground>01</UIForeground> to stimulate their memories.
58 54 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_010 ...Intriguing. You discharge a great sound from your phonatory appendage and make these rather...<Emphasis>suggestive</Emphasis> gestures. Quite different from how we express delight with subtle telepathy.
59 55 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_011 Now, I would like to replicate the movements in preparation for the next time I meet an innocent and amicable traveler like yourself. Ahem...allow me to try. In the process, I may gain some insight as to whether our erstwhile bodies once moved in a similar manner.
60 56 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_012 Hmmm...it seems I cannot fully mimic the vocalizations you produce, nor can I garner enough momentum against the air to move my body as quickly. Let me try a different approach.
61 57 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_013 I feel as though I had a comparable frame, especially those tentacle-esque appendages dangling from your sides. What did you call them again? “Hands,” was it?
62 58 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_014 Anyhow, I am curious as to the degree of velocity you can generate with said appendages. Should you be agreeable, I would like you to swing those “hands” with great speed, and strike me with as much force as you can muster!
63 59 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_020 Worry not. Being that I have no corporeal form, no manner of physical blow can deal me much harm. Come now! Strike me with your appendage as hard as you can.
64 60 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_SYSTEM_000_021 The envious Ea would like you to demonstrate the physical limits of your limbs. <UIForeground>F201F4</UIForeground><UIGlow>F201F5</UIGlow>Slap<UIGlow>01</UIGlow><UIForeground>01</UIForeground> them with as much strength as you can generate.
65 61 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_030 My word! The impact of that strike was so considerable that I felt it to the very depths of my soul! I can only hope there were no feelings of genuine hatred or indignation behind it.
66 62 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_031 ...But alas, it is no use. Even your most energetic motions seem insufficient to jog my memory. Perhaps our physical frames were not so analogous after all.
67 63 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_032 If that is the case, I would make one more request of you. You have ventured to many different places and met many different life-forms, have you not? Among the many creatures you have met, is there not one that possessed a similar form to that which you might surmise we once did?
68 64 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_Q1_000_100 What will you say?
69 65 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_A1_000_100 There is a tribe of beasts who are viscous to the touch and squeak when they move.
70 66 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_A2_000_100 I know of a portly, piscine race with tails and long whiskers.
71 67 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_035 Fascinating...if a bit difficult to picture. Mayhap you could hold an image of them in your mind's eye for me? I shall read it and attempt a metamorphosis.
72 68 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_040 Hrm... Well, they <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> somewhat rotund, and with ocular faculties of a comparable size. Allow me perform a locomotive experiment with this body shape. Hrm... Well, they <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> somewhat rotund, and with ocular faculties of a comparable size. Allow me to perform a locomotive experiment with this body shape.
73 69 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_041 Very well, then. First...a gesture of joy! Then, a vivacious slap to the face!
74 70 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_042 Oh...oh! Oh, dear...
75 71 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_043 I see that the clammy appendages beside this creature's phonatory apparatus are distinct from the hands that you possess. And somehow, I feel the urge to utilize them despite their absence...
76 72 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_044 Given that my immediate synaptic responses are misaligned, it would seem that the erstwhile forms of we Ea are, unfortunately, rather dissimilar from your piscine friends. I apologize for the needless detour.
77 73 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_045 How bothersome it is to be unable to assimilate with the frame of another creature for lack of memory. It would seem that regaining our physical forms will be even more challenging a task than we originally suspected.
78 74 TEXT_AKTKZJ016_04352_EA4352_000_046 While today's experiment has ended in failure, I appreciate the stimulation you have provided me. Take this as compensation for your efforts. Yes, the mind is a fickle thing...I only hope that I will recall what I once looked like while I still possess my mental faculties.
