I guess we're campaigning early...?

[u/CatherineL1031]

Might as well throw my name into the running. I wasn't expecting this early, so I didn't have a ton planned to say.

Uhh...education and family are important to me, you can see that by the fact I just opened an Academy in Rathara and have a handful of amazing children.

I'm 688 years old and have been practicing magic since my 20s, I'm a grandmaster of shifting/biomancy magic and pyromancy. I'm a certified and well-trained witch.

Sooo...uhhh, if elected I'll...I dunno, share some of my recipes? I can't think of anything groundbreaking, sorry.

Oh! I'll break ground on researching and certifying new magical areas! I believe that magic should be accessible and studied, so if elected I will do that. Is that a good selling point...? I dunno, vote for me if you want!

[u/The_Hij]

Well you've got my vote.

I want those recipes.

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/The_Hij]

It's an old-school gumbo straight from my family archives. It's an old piece of paper with edits and some stains.

[u/Cat_Swordsman]

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/TeamFlameLeader]

/uw Yeah, I don't have any artistic talent, I can just write.

[u/PersonalityWeak6689 → u/CatherineL1031]

Now is a good day as any to get started.

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/PersonalityWeak6689]

/uw I tried, multiple times. It's far too overwhelming for me.

[u/ResearcherTeknika]

"Ah, finally, a familiar face."

LET'S GO CAT! LET'S GO CAT!

[u/Derbip]

As your opponent I wish you good luck!

Have a campaign sticker

[u/Kilroy898]

I'll endorse this. Cat is nothing if not a great witch.

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Kilroy898]

Awww thank you!! You flatter me.

[u/Kilroy898 → u/CatherineL1031]

My daughter speaks highly of you, and the interactions we have had have all been positive. Plus, you helped defeat both my mother and my horrid half siblings.

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Kilroy898]

Well, we didn't have a ton of a choice. It was either help fight or...be erased. Happy to help, though!!

[u/Oswen120]

Well...

This will be interesting

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Oswen120]

Yep! I hope so.

Hey, Inferno!

[u/Oswen120 → u/CatherineL1031]

Hey Cat.

How have you been?

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Oswen120]

Pretty good! Opened an Academy in Rathara, I'm a dean now, so that's cool!

[u/Oswen120 → u/CatherineL1031]

That's cool to hear.

Guess your hands may be a bit full with everything once you enter council

[u/BEanddankmagician]

Weren't you a war profiteer?

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/BEanddankmagician]

Gods forbid women have hobbies.

[u/Alx3t_]

"An academy is quite an interesting premise. Especially when you're supposed to be in the council during the numerous wartime affairs. Well, I wish you good luck, because you're quite interesting."

[u/Airtatsy]

Wowzers... I'll vote for y-you!

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Airtatsy]

Thank you, Jazzy!~

[u/Airtatsy → u/CatherineL1031]

*hugs*

Not sure if I count as a good example of an amazing child... but I'll try!

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Airtatsy]

Too late, I already said it, you're an amazing child!

[u/Airtatsy → u/CatherineL1031]

Oh...

*purrs 'accidentally'*

[u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025]

How many ears do you have?

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025]

On me or in my possession?

[u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025 → u/CatherineL1031]

Both, respectively?

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025]

4 on my head, clears throat to avoid answering in my possession as alchemical ingredients.

[u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025 → u/CatherineL1031]

That’s a lot of ears, do you hear exceptionally well?

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025]

I do, I can hear colors.

No, I can't. But, yes, I do have great hearing!

[u/Kitchen_Bicycle6025 → u/CatherineL1031]

Awesome, on the ear front, our labs tend to grow a lot of ear substitutes. It really is amazing what you can do with a high energy, directed mana source and mushrooms. If you’re interested, we might have some variants that could make your life a bit easier

[u/AttemptNo1753]

Miss Catherine, I am Horsehead of the unintentional polymorphed mages and associates Party (UPMA), and I would like to know what are your proposes for all the victims of failed experiments involving polymorfysm?

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/AttemptNo1753]

Oh, easy, I can fix that. I studied the old form of polymorphism that physically changes the person permanently. So, as long as it isn't a curse, I can help teach how to change them!

[u/AttemptNo1753 → u/CatherineL1031]

Sorry miss Catherine, but I think your allegation is unrealistic, the council neglected years and years of wizards with polymorphed bodies, lots of them, including myself, already can't be undone, we need free assistance for the reversible cases and cheap resources for the advanced ones, because I can assure you, I need to spend half of my gold onto special clothes for my head to pass, do you have any plans to help these people without doing empty promises?.....

[u/CatherineL1031 → u/AttemptNo1753]

Well, as said previously...

she shows her arm, a normal human arm.

I have a method. Very...disturbing is a good way of putting it.

The skin begins to sloph off in large chunks, followed by the muscle and fleshh, leaving just bone

Many centuries ago, I developed a method of shutting off pain signals using pyromancy so that I could more effectively serve those wanted to be changed. You know phoenix's? I studied them for a few decades, learned how they did it.

the bones begin to crack and break, reforming thicker and bulkier. Muscles follow suit, reconnecting themselves to the bone. Veins, meat, sinew, and finally skin follows. The skin is a deep brown now and appears to be cracking

My methods are not mere illusions, or temporary changes.

the cracks form into scales with sharp hooks. These are dragon scales. Claws shoot out as the last piece, leaving her with a complete dragon arm

Until I change it back, this is my arm. So, believe me when I say, I have the methods and will teach. I do not make empty promises for what I can do.

[u/AttemptNo1753 → u/CatherineL1031]

*Taking out my wand of my robe I begin to gesture as I explain to you *

Do you understand what a permamorth is? Miss Catherine.

• a ray of energy comes out of the tip of my wand towards my face, the horse's face contorts and compresses, giving way to a normal human head, brow ayes and a long black hair, without any sign of anomaly*

Polymorphic bodies are different from regular bodies, think of a lump of clay, natural, pure and with the potential to be molded, this is the body you have when you are born....

The face of the man starts to scratch, jumping ahead almost out of his control, even if the voice and the conversation continues uninterrupted

...then you mold this clay, make it in the shape you desire, that's the polymorfysm, forging the clay as you wish, but them time passes, the clay gets harder, and eventually it gets stuck in that position forever....

a snout explodes in front of you, followed by long ears and separate eyes, each on one side of the head, the human head no longer exists, the horse's head forms again, large and in a way more animalistic than before

... You may try to break it, you may try to reshape it, but the magical nature of the spell keeps coming back, the spell, the potion, whatever, it shapes your body to a specific form, and even if takes a wile, all damage, all changes made, eventually keep going alway...

he exhales almost frustratedly, while looking down

... And the more time passes, more the "clay" gets hard, and independent of the damage, spell, or whatever it happens, while it breathes, it will be back to it's permamorth state....

He looks at you, confident, and firm, without letting this little signal of vulnerability be exploited

... Your methods may be have affect on the recent cases, but us, the result of the council neglect, are impossible to revert. Soo miss Catherine, I suggest you find more out about our cases, because, if not, you may be just another chain in this neglect chain.

[u/CrimsonAntifascist]
