Is there anything about yourself that you would change, if you could?
And do any of you have the ability or powers to change people's physical bodies? Like with magic, or something.
Not science.
[ Science has already let him down. Science led him here. Luther doesn't much savour the idea of another brilliant person with brilliant inventions trying to get beneath his ape-like skin, when he and his father already tried and failed.
There is something to be said for acceptance, and coming to terms with yourself and your new capabilities or lack thereof. Luther isn't there yet. And he has too many memories now, of an entire decade in the City without this albatross around his neck, this anchor around his ankle. Every time he thinks he might have readjusted to his malformed body again, this world delivers him another goddamned reminder of what he's lost: accidentally remaking his own form when dreams became real; his siblings winding up in others' bodies; waking up looking like his teenaged self, from a far simpler time. It rankles; makes it harder each time to feel comfortable again.
So. He asks the question, finally. ]
& ooc: I don't want to permanently 'fix' Luther, but if your character can do it, I would absolutely be open to a change backfiring or working temporarily! Feel free to plot ICly, or reach out OOCly to hash out some details!

You still got any growth spurts ahead of you?

A friend of mine says I need to eat more but it didn't really work out that way.

Careful, though.

Although I guess most food will, if you have too much of the one thing.

Okay, what else did you do to get so tall?
no subject

But that means I should still still have room to grow!
[ Actually his dad is fairly short too but in Caspar's head he's taller on account of being a very intimidating presence. But he's still taller than Caspar. ]

Stretching exercises and yoga to be limber, maybe?

What's yoga?

I'm really bad at it. Not really flexible.
[ in more ways than one! ]

That sucks! Are you strong enough to make up for it?
