Knight of Iron

"Hello, I was just wondering why—" Denis froze. "DENISE?!?"

Exodus walked swiftly, leading them to their next destination, taking a couple turns. He had a couple options for how to proceed, but for now, this seemed to be alright. He eventually departed from the main road onto a less well-kept one, with few hints of civilization. The road began to slope downhill, and the grass around them was much taller now. A wooden shack could be seen further down the road, among some spread out trees.

Ely jumps. "What in the world are you?!"

The flux capacitor remained intact.

Except when they weren't.

He did reach 1 billion total views on the channel a couple days ago, though!

"...what?"

"And do you do anything? Magical?"

Ely nodded, and remained a tiger. "So... you from here?"

Ely immediately became a fairly large, furry, white and black tiger. "I prefer white, but would you prefer orange?"

Ely then turns into a human again. "Thanks!" he said energetically. "What do you want me to transform into next?"

"I make quite a good dog, though, I can even balance a glass on my nose!" He gave up his polar bear shape and turned into a tiny little chihuahua, trotting along the forest floor.

Ely shook his head. "As a human, I have."

"I suppose that makes sense," Ely said. "How come they think they're so great, with their opposable thumbs?"

A long, spiral horn grew from the center of its forehead.

"I've got a question that could break the ice! Why are humans so tall?" asked Ely, the polar bear.

"Out of... pickles?" Denis frowned. "Um, may I speak to your manager?"

"Sure!"

This news brought a tear to the frog's eye, and it nodded.

Kreshnik turned into a vampire bat, flew around in a couple circles, did a loop-de-loop, and landed upside-down on the ceiling, gripping onto a ceiling fan.

Lirin?

The frog wanted to be its own Narrator, not to be claimed.

Exodus grimaced, but pushed forward out the door. "Come on, we have a portal to go through." Orpheus made it into the library.

I considered putting this in 17th Shard Discussion, but I am frightened to discuss non-technical site-related things there. So, status updates. When we follow people, we are aware that more of these may now appear in your notifications. If you reply to one and get unlucky, your notification box might get flooded with the Shard telling you every single other person who commented after you, and if you're really unlucky, two Sharders will choose to have a super long conversation in the replies of one! Oh, how quickly the joy fades from my twenty-one notifications when all are simply... "[Sharder] has replied to a status update." Intro aside, what kind of things do you prefer in status updates? You can select multiple options, and feel free to discuss if you like. Do you find some annoying, or too often, or something else? And if I missed a type of update, let me know!
