>>6125071Back to business. With a directed thought your fingers return to normal. You note that the "branching copies" of your fractals just disappear into thin air (starting from the furthest ones, up to the edge of the original thing being copied).
It's a bit different from 'Kiss'. Actually, the only other Stand you can think of in the series (maybe not <span class="mu-i">this</span> world per se) dealing with fractals and duplicates in this way is...Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, with the whole "copies of the same thing, excluding the user, exploding into Menger sponges upon contact with each other" stipulation.
You wonder if a Stand like that had something to do with your appearance in this universe to begin with. Thoughts to file away for later.
Your hands feel a little tingly for a second, fingers feeling short and stubby without their extension.
All of this only took about a minute or so. You repeat the process, but with variations: Jenova duplicates your nails layered on top of each other in a fractal, essentially turning them into a curved stack that ends at a sharp, microscopic tip--makeshift claws. The scale of the initial clones can be specified, too (as long as they're smaller than the original, and attached to it at some point). A nail can have little tiny versions of itself on its edge, so that it becomes serrated and sharp. And you can repeat that process for multiple nails.
Back to the fingers, you have Jenova clone them again but as microscopic "bristles" patterning your actual fingers' undersides and palms. The feeling is weird, a sort of inverse of being itchy and just as uncomfortable. If your hunch is right, this should work along the same principle as Velcro, burrs and the setae on gecko feet...you go to an empty corner of the room, hop up, and press your hands into the walls, trying to cling to them like a nondescript spider-person of some sort.
Sweet! You manage to sort of hold onto the wall for a few seconds. Granted, there's not that much space, and your fractal fingers feel a little weird and tingly, and you left a scratchy imprint on the walls, but you have the proof it works.
(2/2)
>Keep experimenting on yourself with little tests, mainly on the fingers, nails and hands.>Try testing the limit of how large an object Jenova can use as a basis to clone off of. Kiss could clone entire arms, after all.>Switch to an inanimate object, to simulate using your Stand on some random shit lying around in a battle scenario. What makes a good found weapon, besides yourself?
