Sure, why not?

Following my instincts and deeply self-reflecting is probably the only way I'll truly be able to find out more about whatever I'd been turned into. God's Eye might give me some info, but it annoyingly seems to have a habit of me first having to know what I'm looking for. Just like how you won't see their toenail polish while looking at their hair, I couldn't get more detailed information about my body without knowing at least enough to specify something to focus on. And, when my body was a bunch of poorly-differentiated stands of different material, kinda hard to do. And thus, I answer the call of this random urge-it doesn't seem like wandering in one direction could be worse than going in another one.

So, I take that turn. Just keep on heading straight till another, similar urge strikes. And then another, and another. I'm in no rush-taking in the limited sights that I can while. Trying to keep a mental image of where I've been, looking around for anything new that the slight changes might have revealed, or just enjoying the feeling of crushing grass against my underside. Heh, taking a walk hadn't felt this good in...a while.

Eventually, after a while of this, with the sun starting to peak over the mountain, I found myself back where I started, having apparently managed to go in a full circle. Or, more likely, some other random shape, given the lack of smooth motion to it. At my realizing of this, I can feel an odd sensation in my brain. A sensation I'd come to associate with either levels or skills increasing. Turning my sight against myself, I find the most confusing result: Another level of Priest. But apparently no skills. Better stat boosts, though. Guess abilities are on even, and odd give better stats. That only leaves the confusion about why wandering around all night was 'priestly.' I'd bet good money that if I could fly, I'd see my trail made some kind of symbol. Given the god, possibly something lewd. Either way, I feel satisfied when I trudge back to my old spot to put my roots back in and soak in the morning rays.

As I settle my roots back in, it strikes me how lacking in real obligations I am. Last life, had to get a job for the rent. Here, I'm free. I don't need to worry about just living in the wild-I'm the kinda thing people watch out for! Don't need to make sure there's enough for the grocer's, the sun, earth, and air covers my needs. Heck, if I didn't have a couple with my spawn here waiting for me later today, I might have hit the road when it got dark.

In the meantime, I try and figure out a little something: apparently, my tentacle monster status gives a frankly absurd bonus to 'dark elemental attacks'. I wasn't sure if that included dark elemental spells like my smite, so I tried to see if experimentation couldn't pop up another skill like it had before. Based on the name, I try and go for something in a slightly more physical realm, trying to infuse my tentacles with power. Still got a ways to go, though, as I seem to just be jolting myself. Ah well, not like I'm pressed for time, I can afford to keep going till it's right!
