Town and Ability Test

I had a panic attack in the morning when I just woke on a nest at on a high up tower and seeing that I was a seagull didn't make it any better. Took me a while to remember what had happened yesterday and how I got here. Now I don't really know how to start the day and what I should do next. I just go down to an empty alley and transform back into human, the transformation takes like a second and it's like clay being moulded into something.

Going out, I go for the busy street marketplace where the seagull usually steals fish from. It looked like any other fish market, except not as noisy as people were just setting up their stalls and opening shops in this early morning hour.

I went and asked the general directions of a clothing store and sold my shirt for some belly, since the design wasn't in the store they gave me a generous 500 belly which I have no clue of what I can get with it. I asked for directions to a restaurant where I had some breakfast for 100 belly, I put the rest into my inventory and went to local park which I knew of only because this seagull used to terrorise children for fun.

Looking at the now risen sun, I've begun to contemplate how I'm going to have to go about using this power efficiently and achieving greater power as fast as possible because this island could randomly combust as two powerhouses decided to duke it out.

Firstly I'll need to find a way to test the world stones on people. Even if people remember my appearance, it won't matter because I could just turn into a seagull or another person who I've got data on. My current appearance isn't something I need to always maintain so that I could easily be tracked after these world stones are distributed.

That's right, I've decided to make a bunch of world stones and scatter them, as long as no one thinks these world stones can harm them, I'll be able to acquire strength quite effortlessly. I'm about to do a very suspicious activity for which I had to come to this park. Looking around I notice a couple of kids playing around.

I count them and see there are 4 of them.Thus I take out the world stone I already had and wipe it to the previous white space then make a replica of an arcade room with the same 10 by 10 by 10 dimensions in the stone. It has one dance machine with instructions on how to use it along with three arcade game machines and a trampoline in the middle of the room.

Now all i have to do is approach these kids without seeming like someone who wants to put them in a white van. As I'm sat there contemplating how I'll be able to achieve this seemingly impossible endeavour, the world itself saves me the trouble as the ball these children are playing with is thrown in my direction.

Being the smart guy that I am, I start formuplating a plan on how I'll hold onto the ball and ask them to take a world stone each and think of entering it. Now the ball's still hurtling towards me as I'm just sat there with a blank face staring into the void (my thinking face) and the hits me square on the nose.

The realisation that I needed to catch the ball to even begin my plan hits me and i fall from the bench groaning in pain (obviously part of my plan). The kids comes forward and apologise together for what happened to my face which has a bloody nose at the moment as I forgot that my physique is still the earth one and not a one piece one. I'm just sat on the ground where the realisation dawns on me that these kids of around ten years of age could probably wipe the floor with me.

"Doesn't matter, this'll be better after a quick sleep." I reassure the kids so they don't feel guilty for my absent-mindedness. Of course I do have to try my world stones so,"However it doesn't change the fact that this still hurt me, if you want your ball back you'll have to take these." As I hand over the small white spherical pebbles that to the kids. Each of them just looks at the small white stone and looks at me in a quizzical manner as if there were floating question marks above their heads about what these pebbles were.

"To get the ball back, one of you or all of you will have to focus on the stone in your hand and think of entering it." Now they give me the pitiful look as if I'm a 'special' member of society. "I'll destroy the ball if one of you don't try to do as I say." I know I'm being mean but I really need to test the stone in other people's hands and see how it fares. They look at me with the same look as before then look at tallest one among them who seems to be the leader. The leader nods at them and then stares at the pebble intensely.

And he just continues to stare at it for a good 5 minutes untill one of the other kids gives him a slight push and he wakes up from a daze. He then stares at me then at the pebble then pinches his cheeks and stares at me again. "Mister was that room real?" he asks hesitantly while the other kids have confused faces. "Yes, and they also have the same room which they can go to any time with the way I told you." This time I hand the leader the ball and sit back on the bench as the kids ask the leader questions and then in a few minutes in this somewhat small park, there is the strange site of four kids staring at pebbles in there hands.

This confirms the fact that other ordinary people can indeed use my stones and access the rooms. Another interesting thing is that these stones although far from me, I can still see inside the rooms in which these kids are excitedly going around. I try and scan one of them, and it works. Within a few seconds I have all the information about that kid and he doesn't seem to sense my scan at all.

I just make a mental note of saving this among the appearances that I could take and scan the others as well. I didn't need their entire life experience as that would be quite messed up of me and also I don't want to become either a collective conscience or a certain wheelchair dude who doesn't respect privacy. Another thing that I did however was try and see if I could connect these four stones and allow them to go to each others rooms through doors with their names. The stones even though far from me are still updated as each of their rooms now have three doors leading to the other rooms.

Now that I know this power somewhat accurately, I don't want to stay here after the kids come back and be pestered by them so I look around and after confirming that the coast is clear, I turn into a seagull and fly back to my nest for a nap as the seagull flight is something I still enjoy and sleeping in the nest has become a hobby sort of thing for me. I've realised that this town/island is closer to Loguetown, so I'll probably go there after the nap since there's been the news of Gol D Rogers capture.
