User ID joke..."*boggle* I regenerated?!"<br /><br />User ID jokes aside, I'd probably be an odd mix of taken aback and pleased. I mean, she's much better looking than I am, so that's always a plus, and I'm pretty mild-mannered myself. If I was Elliot in particular, I'd use my mild-mannered powers to keep myself calm long enough to make it to Tedd's, get back to normal, and Elizabeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/12172157721562866642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465751950064644575.post-52848927424289745112010-10-25T08:42:37.845-05:002010-10-25T08:42:37.845-05:00To be honest, whilst initially taken aback, I'...To be honest, whilst initially taken aback, I'd most likely be pretty OK with it. It's most likely part of the spell, which, as it's a mirror to the caster's actions and psyche, would probably be unlikely to harm me or change me on a permanent basis. If anything it's a convenient alter-ego. I tend to show a mild-mannered persona to the world and was like that when younger, so Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022476640181993395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465751950064644575.post-79117449441105748442010-10-24T14:20:15.897-05:002010-10-24T14:20:15.897-05:00Aw, I missed out on this.

That said, in mild mannered mode I think it would come to a boil. I think I would probably panic/have an outburst to the limits of my mild manneredness then check out my new chest and other anatomy.

The books, as Nanase mentioned, are incredibly detailed. If mild-mannered me is part of the spell, the book will tell me 'bout it. If I'm not satisfied by that explanation, then I'd need to go see Tedd, of course.
