The next day, I decided I'd pop into Belkinsire today. I figured now was a good chance to tell Eskart I had talked to Krina, and she said it was certainly possible to migrate the consciousness on the brink of death with implemented psionic technologies, and that she wished to talk to him about possibility of combining magic with technology to create a failsafe system that can transmigrate the soul and the rest of the components of Spiritua by convincing them to "follow" the consciousness when it gets pulled before death. This of course, hearkens back to my strive to find out how to save lives as much as possible for the Psyops.
Eskart already told me he was willing to assist the project. For the depth of understanding that this requires, I was hoping he'd be enthused, as research is his forte.
He wasn't in his study today. Rather, I found him in his private suite in his Tower and let myself in.
'Eskart! Hello! I bring good news!'
I saw him at the other end of the room, near one of the faux windows and-
'Esk-... art...?' I said as I blinked.
[ESKART] ".....Muna... welcome. I... didn't expect you were going to drop in today and just.... let yourself in...."
[MAJORDOMO] "What the hell."
[JOCO] "Holy crackers, look at that gorgeous MANE!"
Eskart's hair was... well, to say 'longer' was an understatement. His hair was flowing behind him like his cape did, it was the curliest hair I'd ever seen!
'What... happened? Are you... changing your form?'
He glanced at the floor.
[ESKART] "Look, it-it's a long story... I'm too much of a personal deity to humans. I can't transform myself as easily- at will, as a Beast like you can. The image of myself being a blond human male in their eyes will stick forever, I can't really look like anything else for long with my magic."
'...'
[ESKART] "Hhh... I was in the junior academy of the College today, where the youngest enrolled are, teaching a welcoming class to the primaries, new student arrivals. They're all young children you see."
'...' I tilted my head.
[ESKART] "...Look, they were mostly little girls, they don't pay much attention, they're more concerned with playing than learning. After class they begged me to play "princess tea party" with them. I just wanted to make them laugh a little, s-so I cast a spell to grow my hair out because they forced me to be one of the princesses!"
