[Action]

[Here Luceti, have another New Feather. A young man with silver wings, wearing a strange mask and with only the thin pants of the newcomers to protect him from the world is currently just waking up in the forest not too far from the village. If you could see his face you'd see just how groggy and confused he is right now. He flinches a little as he realises there's a couple of new additions to his body upon coming to... wherever he is right now, and he reaches behind him to feel... feathers? Wings?

Thankfully it isn't long before he realises his clothes are piled up beside him, along with a book. Gin knows it's dangerous to be so exposed and doesn't hesitate to put on those clothes, strangely altered to accommodate those small wings on his back. Who did this to him? Where was he? He was certain by now this wasn't the forest of the Mountain God, unless he was trying to play some kind of trick on him.

Now for that book... Gin picks it up, taking a seat on the forest floor where he appeared and taking a moment to flick through the pages. The book was full of messages and pictures, presumably the ones who were trying to communicate. Some of the images moved as well and there were voices... the book was speaking to him.]

[Voice]

[After taking some time to try to get to know this odd journal and how it might work, Gin ends up trying to speak to the book himself.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

(OOC: Just a reminder and for those who might have missed it - if your character intends to touch Gin at all like taking his hand or something, please give me a chance to react before they make contact! Thanks~)

[And Sanji can't promise him a shift wouldn't come with detrimental effects. He still remembers the time when one rendered him blind on the battlefield.]

Yeah, a Shift. Kinda hard for me to explain, so you might be better off asking someone else. [Still, he gives it a shot]

Here, let me give you an example. In this village we get Shifts a lot. Sometimes we'll start randomly teleporting, or we'll think something is true when it's not... like falling in love with someone you've never met before. Or swearing up and down you're a shitty scientist when before you were a seamstress.

It's always some type of abrupt change, and it can simple or complicated.

[That's quite a broad range of changes and Gin wonders how these Shifts are at all related if they could do anything from changing your thoughts and memories to warping you around.]

You say it's abrupt. Does that mean it can happen at any time? We don't get any warning?

[It's slightly terrifying really to think you could be fine one minute and not know what's going on the next.]

Not most of the shitty time, we don't. Some are annual and we expect them to happen, but others can happen whenever the hell the Malnosso feel like causing us grief.
