I’m grateful in some regards that this portion of the challenge doesn’t involve using any pokemon attacks and will reluctantly admit I’m glad I’m no longer at all in the driver seat of my own body. It’s very disconcerting to be in a situation where I can perceive everything that is going on, can feel every step taken, every clench and muscle tightening, every sway of my tail, and yet be unable to actually do much of anything about any of it. But there are parts of this last step that I’m wondering if perhaps it is a failsafe to make sure that that other me is in control. Mainly in that there are aspects to this obstacle course, especially in the route we took, that there is a much slower way, and a much riskier way. And if I was in control, I’m pretty sure I would at the very least hesitate before going onto a beam half as wide as I am that’s a good thirty feet into the air. But the other me didn’t even hesitate but instead just started running down the beam. I hope I’ll be able to get my body back come morning, but I can already feel my mouth beginning to stretch out.
