Observations

I can stop partway through a transformation. I've done it three times. (Out of 116, I think, counting both directions.)

I am not good at it. I held it once for two seconds and once for about thirty before losing control and completing it. The third time, it was hard for about two minutes and then I got stuck with fur and all my joints from elbows and knees out gone wolf, and my shoulders and hips sort of halfway there. (Only for a few hours this time. Thankfully. Obviously I changed back eventually or I couldn't type.)

I have no idea why rearranging my skeleton doesn't hurt much, but I'm very grateful.

Changing that many times makes me hungry.

Smelling food is apparently a very good way to get unstuck, which probably means I wasn't trying hard enough before.

I will not try to change from wolf to human and stop partway in public unless I absolutely have to, or am very sure I can stop with all my fur on, and probably not then either.

Well, neat. :) Don't give up, though--when I started trying to make my dupes do different things, it took forever and gave me nasty headaches, and I could only do it for a couple minutes at a time, like you said.

I wonder if there's something we can make that'd help you practice, like when my parents had me read two different books at once. Maybe if we made an alarm clock, or something, where the alarm was one of those noises wolves can hear but people can't, but it needed fingers to shut off, and we hid it somewhere? I could probably figure out how to rig something like that if you wanted.

I had to stop for a while if I wanted food, sleep, and so on, but I'll try again when I have time. Though I'm not quite sure if there will be any point, if it turns out hands are one of the first (or last) things to go and I can't change that -- but it's hard to tell so far, so they might not be.

And I think I need to find Marie-Ange and hug her, if she won't mind.

Well, yeah, obviously, that isn't giving up. :) And that's almost exactly what I said to my dad once, "What's the point if it turns out I can only do two different things at once, I already make more of me than that." You never really know where your limits are until you hit them, and sometimes not even then, because maybe what you hit isn't the actual limit. (He said it better than that though.)

And yeah, she sounds like she could use a hug.

Fantastic job Rahne! I'm really proud of you.

Thanks, but I've not done anything useful yet -- I think I might be able to if I try enough, though.

See, I told you you could do it!

Thanks. Now let me see if I can stop in the middle and still be able to walk....
