I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Apparently the big worry is being held up at shitpoint.

Wait, what?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, what?

Guys who threaten to throw their shit (already decanted) on you if you don't give up your valuables.

Well, that's pretty basic.

I think I might pretend I don't know about that.

Hahahaha! That is just so very crazy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That seems like not such a huge threat -- I mean, I'd rather be nasty than lose my stuff.

Exactly. I would, though, be concerned about my eyes and mouth, and if I was at risk for catching anything, but mostly I'd then want to pummell them into the ground.

I think I shall waste some time today, MONTHS ahead of the trip, wondering what I will take with me.

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that. EW.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah, while that threat is disgusting, not nearly so worrisome as a gun or knife wound, neither of which will wash off.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Guys who threaten to throw their shit (already decanted) on you if you don't give up your valuables.

Ew. Closest I've come to this was in Delhi, where it's standard practice for the street shoeshiners to throw shit on your shoes when you're not looking, and then offer to clean them for you. Happened to DH while he was wearing sneakers, which was both gross and confusing.
