... So, care to explain what is this ?

[Weathervane] You have a tendency to change the object of your attention and/or objectives rather easily.

 ... This... For real ? Why the fuck do I have gained a new title ? And why THIS slandering title ?

Answer : A title is a definition of what the others-

I KNOW ! I ask why the holy crap did I have been afflicted with a title like that ? Do I look like so indecisive ?

I mean, I have perhaps changed opinion quickly sometimes, but it was to adapt myself to the situation ! Like, you cannot continue to walk if you suddenly see a gaping hole in front of you, one you didn't see before, right ? Right ? You don't continue walking straight because too bad, you've decided to do it like this ten minute before ? It's the normal way to act here ! Hey, answer me, Bluey !

...

...

No reply again, huh ? Coward !... And say, now that I think about it, this new title, it is not the reverse of the other one, immu-something who say I'm thick headed as a rock ?

Answer : No.

... Ok, you answered this one... Well, at least, it give me some bonuses right ? It mean it's not totally use-

Answer : No.

-less.

... Dammit. A joke title, all right, I get the point. I'm not upset. Not even a bit ! Really. If I was not fearing to get a [paranoia]-like title as a bonus, I would be seriously thinking some asshole is trying to mess with me just for the fuck of laughing out loud about it. Let's go back eating. And try the other idea I was thinking of. I will be more productive than wasting time on crappy shit born from a mothe-*BIIIIP* *omitted*.

I get out of my rocky home and furiously slalom between the snails populace, towards a good looking purple-submarine-salad, and masticate it. Niom~niom~ The taste make me slowly forget about the title incident.  Niom~niom~ Nothing better than a good meal to improve the mood ! And it will let me try that I wanted to test at the same time. Niam~niam~ I've been thinking, one of the main defect of my actual body is the pitiful Niom~niom~ sight I have. So if I try forcing like crazy on it, I'm sure Niom~niom~ something will happens with all these skills things ! Except for popping my eyes out of the socket, it's perfectly safe, Niom~niom~ Just kidding. It will not happen, right ? I know I'm literally raising a flag here, but I frankly doubt it's even possible to happen in real life. Even in a real life with magic.

So, I promptly start by focusing on the plant I'm currently eating.

I look at it and force physically with my eyes. It remind me a little of the last time I was constipated in my old life, where I was doing the same for... Hum... Well, it was the only case I pictured myself forcing on them like crazy, even if it wasn't exactly to see something... Let's keep going. After using the most strength I could muster, I widen my eyes to the maximum and run my pupils in all direction, to make sure my eyes are able to see everything.

It will surely have some effect on the long run ! Even if it's hard to eat while doing that and I'm being a little  seasick - height of ridicule, because I'm a freshwater tadpole, you see ? Haha !... Ha... ?... Ok, this joke missed -, I still persevere, because I'm sure it's a good idea. If it's really like a video games and such, these skills seem to be randomly awarded when you're doing even the dumbest thing, after all.

I admit, I must look a little like a psychopath though, with eyes rolling everywhere and herbs leaking from my mouth, since I can't really chew properly anymore. Some snails even have already retreated in their shells after seeing me...

But sure thing, after only two minutes of this training, the first effect was felt. My method worked, i knew it !

You're momentarily dizzy.

Hoooo, it's the first time I have this type of informati- *beeeeuaaaarghhh* and in the first place, I didn't know tadpoles where even capable to puk-*beeeeurggh*... It's spinning like crazy~ I happily managed to stuck myself to the plant before the world started rotating randomly, so I'm not left swimming with no idea where I go~ Another discovery from this experience, it's less painful to crash on a soft plant rather than on hard rock. Who would have imagined that...  *bllleeeeurgh* 

Haaaa, my dinner is escaping... *beuuuhhh*

 ...

The vertigo effect passed after one long, painful minute.

I pondered about the reason my method didn't work, while replenishing my empty stomach in the same time. Niom~niom~ It seems doing stupid things doesn't reward you every time. I will be cautious for the newt try. So how can I get it to work ? Niom~niom~ Let's do the same as before, but without the "crazy eye wheel" part, since it went haywire at this point.

I look again, this time at a little snail on a nearby plant. Using strength in my eyes, I stare at him, looking thoroughly at every nick and cranny of his little slobbery body. I can quickly confirm it : It's a normal snail. Dark brown stripped shell, middle brown corpse, black little eyes devoid of any sign of intelligence. He was probably on his way to go to a digestive walk, but he suddenly stood still, having noticed that I'm eying him. And start looking right back at me.

...

One minute pass like this, in a staring contest, nobody breaking the gaze of the other. I stopped chewing my algae, focused as I was to not loose against him. Nobody moved at all. It was very western like, but without the herb ball passing between us or the colts hanging at our belt. Not mentioning the absence of limbs on each side.

The tiny creature repositioned itself a little to face me better without taking his eyes off from me.

Like that, still eyes on eyes, another two minute passed as we slowly approached each other, until we were almost at body contact. Face to face. Or whatever it is called for a tadpole and a snail.

I'm not sure exactly why I'm doing that anymore, but I need to win, and it's all that matters ! No seriously, why am I doing that ? Well, he's weakening, so let's finish this and think about it after. His eye-tennas are slowly retracting on themselves, under the weight of my mighty gaze. Hahaha, take that, you're way too young to beat me in anything !

I push my invisible staring power against the snail, in an attempt to quickly finish this duel, but the snail suddenly took me by surprise when he extended his retracted eye-tennas like a spring, in each sides of my face !

And like a dumbass, I unconsciously continue to look at each eyes when they extend past my head, but... since I'm no chameleon, my eyes quickly stopped by themselves when the maximum spacing possible between right and left going in each own way was attained. A sudden headache hit me at the same time.

The result was clear...

... I. lost. to a snail.

... And I still don't know why I was doing this.
