Re: cw: face body horror

With their help, Josh finally pulls off the last of the cables. There is a pressure in the air as he uses the very last of his reality alteration power on himself, trying to make himself coherent again.

Trying to make himself human.

He mostly succeeds. He's oversized and slightly deformed, legs and arms too long. And he also stays monochrome like he's a character on a classic TV show. But he ends up human enough to worry about decency and pulls one of the leftover tarps from the Jorgmund equipment to cover himself.

"Holy shit holy shit holy shit."

He's crying and hyperventilating, his tears still crackling static. But he's human. Aware. Alive.

The cords from the monitors wither and die like damaged vines and the console they were sticking out of starts to rot and fall apart like it's something organic.

"Who are you? Where am I? I don't - I don't understand what happened. I was so out of it. I need to find my moms."
