If you could then you would...?

[Jasriella]

Well I'm not exactly sure, part of me says that I would end up just not going to school anymore and another part of me says that I must continue at all costs. So I think that if I was able to fit in the door I would continue school much in the same way as I am now, just with a lot of changes. No more having to warm my car up and paying for gas, I'll fly to school and work , just gotta watch out for planes since I live right next to the airport. At school I would try to get debate done but I'll have to have somebody wright stuff down and use the computers for me since my claws will shred everything up, I think I might be able to keep on welding though. Lunch would be cool, I'd just have one of my friends go in and bring my food to my table and I'd lay there curled up eating and talking intently with my friends. Don't know what I'd about the bathroom though, I would probably have to go somewhere outside . Life would be so much better if people didn't care but I know that if this were to happen that I would be hunted and killed pretty fast if I didn't get away from town unseen.

If I could transform to my trueform, then... *blinks* I'd do it in a heartbeat and screw the consequences. Firstly I'd figure out whether I'm right about what I am (never have been sure what my species is, as far as non-physical goes; physically I'm as human as you people), and that would be amazing. Secondly, I'd figure out whether I exist on this plane or another.

As for what I'd look like, I'm somewhat certain that I'd be about ten feet tall or more (not certain), semi-bipedal (unable to stand up straight, but with hands instead of forepaws and walking on two legs even though I'm always crouched somewhat)... have ridiculously thick armor plating (six inches on my back and my more armored areas, half-inch at its thinnest (lips, fingertips, et cetera))... and I'd have no eyes or ears, and only two comparatively small teeth to adorn my tongueless mouth. Stubby little tail, alligator green scales. Head that's... not quite like anything I've ever actually seen on a terrestrial animal. Three fingers on my hands, three toes (the third is in the rear), that sort of idea.

Then I'd show everyone. I'd go out in public like that, whether or not I could change back. Whether I'm physical or not doesn't particularly matter to me; I'd show anyone who could see me. I don't care what would happen. And whether I can change back or not, I probably wouldn't. Why would I? And I'd feel better that way than I could ever feel as a human. This body is entrapping. *pouts*

For some weird reason, even though I can't see myself going through those motions at all, I find myself admiring your attitude on the subject. At the very least it'd give time for the uneasy types like me to find someplace to hole up.

See, you don't see yourself going through it because you don't want to die. I'm indifferent to death; if I had a past life, then I will have another after this one and it doesn't matter if I die. So let the humans kill me if that's what they want to try doing, as long as the last few hours (human military response time is slow ) of my life are spent showing the world what kind of being I really am. Hang it all, I just want to spend the last few hours of my life KNOWING what kind of being I really am. Unfortunately I'd probably motivate the humans to start a witch hunt for similar creatures that would result in your likely death. That's too bad.

Great, the U.S. dragon trials . If that were the case I would end up fleeing to the mountains where I was born and live under another identity. But doing so would be hard for I have family in this life that I love and I would rather live out this life the way I have been and wait for death to take me to another realm where I will be able to resume my draconic life .

The reason I'm more reluctant is because I like my current life. It's definitely NOT a replacement for my previous one, and neither the afterlife nor my next life (if I have one) will be any replacement for my current one. Lives are not all just lives, they're all different. Regardless of what happens to my consciousness, Benjamin only lives once.
At one point before I really felt clear on how I was supposed to feel on draconity, I said on Draconomicon that I'd gladly give up humanity, and on another thread there I'd said I would feel devastated if I lost my beliefs. Now that I actually HAVE lost my beliefs (and regained them) I've realized firsthand that draconity isn't the center of my world after all. I've got people (and non-people) more important to me than anything about myself.
So since Awakening I've totally reversed my views and feel that losing my HUMANITY would be the end of the world. Of course I wouldn't feel that way if people in the world were more open to the concept of co-existing with "monsters", and I might put a bit more consideration into it if the question asked stated that the dragon in question would be able to resume/project human form, but it wasn't in there. In my case I still just can't comprehend such an occurrence happening without having bad consequences. I've got too much attachment.
