Think, operant. If you were you, what would you get up to?
Violent rampage across the district. Eating apartments, tuk-tuks.

Where would I go, if I were me?
You close your eyes. The plane of shapes and colours rises in front of you -- the psycho-geography of Portofiro.
Look for PSEUDOPOD.
The city hums around you, pink and pulsing with the memory. You search for your own feel, rhythm, thoughts...
You catch the shadow of yourself, moving. Confused and scared, but you. Focus.

Stay right there!
You're retracing your steps.

The alleyways and canals of Quisach call to you. Time to answer.
Probably find a nice spot to off myself.
Perhaps the logical response to suddenly waking up as a flesh-form photocopy. But -- he is you. Where would you go?
Probably just getting a run in.
The likelihood of muscle atrophied cannot be ignored. But -- he is you. Where would you go?
