So quickly?

@Balance

Neil: From what we've heard and seen, yes. The side effects don't appear as quickly though, as they seem to effect the person in the long term, taking a year at average to start becoming noticeable.

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

If it has no practical purpose, don't.

@Dynamics

Fine by me. *Turns the sheet to you; it is a likeness of you but orange* Isn't it perfect? *It shrinks until the metal disappears and the orange embeds itself into its rhombus*

@Stabby

And they're always negative?

@Disdain

No.

@Balance

Neil: As far as I know, yes, though some are easier to hide then others, which is why we try to notice the ability and get the person on their way before the side effect gets to them.

*We reach the front of the line* Group of three, conductor!
-Conductor- I'm not a conductor, Laetitia. New recruits?
-Fresh out of the evil not-real company. *Pulls a card out of my pocket and runs it underneath a scanner, then bows my head*
-Conductor- *Bows my head*
-Guys and girls—uh, guy and girl—bow your heads, and then hop in! *Jumps in the capsule, gets in the top right bed, and presses a button that straps me in comfortably*

@Mammalia

Huh? Why?

@DarkwolfX37

It's one of the ways we show respect here to all the people that serve us and help us.

@Stabby

Makes sense. And these side effects happen no matter what?

@Balance

Neil: *Nods* They do. Which is why that story has puzzled me to no end.

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

No.

@Dynamics

Tough crowd. *Starts writing meticulously with a yellow fountain pen in a leather-bound, black-paged book* Yellow Magic: This will search for any mind that the target may possess and blow apart a multitude of completely random connections. I'm putting as much of my will into this as I can, and however much energy you can infuse into the sword will help, because it can be resisted by a strong enough will. The transformation basically creates a tendency for connections to break. But a mentally realised foe can resist as soon as he or she knows what's happening.

@Stabby

The Twisted I met seems more and more like this unique case with everything you say. I'm pretty sure I remember her saying that she had had her spirit—or was it spirits?—for years.

@Disdain

I can't add energy. Also, fix the orange one.

@Dynamics

I mean "you" generally and whatever do you mean?

@Disdain

You know exactly what I mean. Fix it before I fix you.

@Mammalia

But... couldn't we do it without them?

[Mammalia]

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

@DarkwolfX37

Yeah, but they still gave of themselves for our sake. Just do it real quick and I'll explain more on the way down.

@Dynamics

Oh, fine. *It becomes a painting of a canvas of a painting of itself* Anyway, are you sure there's no way that energy can be imparted into the sword's blow?

@Disdain

Perhaps. I cannot do so personally.

@Dynamics

Oh, well. It'll do its best to break a mind.
