I didn't do anything. If I had that kind of power, I'd do something better with it.

...

Although granted, from what Karlach told me, the swamp has healing capabilities now.

[ So actually if he DID have the power of location change this actually would not be something he wouldn't try to do. ]

[nyas]

Isn't that doing something better with it then?

[ caught red-handed!!!! no but huh, she squints at the swamp water with some kinda doubt. ]

That doesn't seem safe in a place like this.

[recession]

The point is, I don't have that kind of power.

I wouldn't have trusted the sign if it were me, but Karlach's shown me proof. Her severed fingers are reattached and working, although she has a weird side effect of being fire-hot to the touch.

Incidentally, apparently that's a bit of an intrinsic thing with her normally, but I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not.

[nyas]

Given the glow-y thing with her body, I guess that makes sense but I never felt like she was fire-hot to touch? I've napped on her a few times and at most she's just warm.

[ scratching at one of her ears, still perched up here. ]

Even when I swapped bodies with her, it was only ever warm. Though I did get heart pains now and then. Ughh. Felt like my heart would suddenly explode.

[recession]

She told me that usually, she's hot enough to pretty much set the entire place ablaze if she gets mad enough.

[ Oh. He just frowns at this info about her heart. ]

That must've been a bizarre experience for you. The abilities flying around here are pretty disruptive.

[nyas]

[ daan thinks karlach is hot, got it. but no she wouldn't doubt that about karlach. ]

Had my body change before, so it was weird but. [ a half-shrug. ] I guess it could've been worse.

[ slides right on off, planting her paws on her hips as she looks him over and ]

Speaking of. How do you feel about exchanging monsters?

[recession]

[ She's a taken woman... I would never interrupt yeehell...

Anyway he's just getting the overall impression that Izutsumi really is just. She's had a lot of experiences and is blase about most weird stuff that happens. ]

Wary, especially with some rule clarifications I've gotten. You?

[nyas]

[ Sometimes a lot of weird shit happens in the dungeon life... ]

...Dunno. Guess I'm a bit torn. [ a small shrug, trying to be nonchalant about it but her ears pin back. ] But I know what I want, and supposedly they're still alive so. Worth trying to find them.

[ she taps her chin as she stares at him before ]

I want to exchange monsters with you. Don't care if I have to go first, but I wanna know yours.

[recession]

You know the bond is established automatically if we say, and we match, right?

You could start off somewhere smaller, like... I don't know, the first letter of your monster.

[nyas]

I know the risks.

[ it sounds just a bit desperate, one she tries to pull back on. though his next set of words has her shaking her head. ]

Won't work. Someone else suggesting doing that in the first week and we both felt it count as sharing.

[recession]

Seriously?

[ This damn cult. They really want them making bonds. ]

...Fine then. One out of nineteen -- roll the odds.

[nyas]

Gorgon.

[ 🐍 ]

[recession]

[ He does relax minutely. ]

Ditto.

[ points and laughs at you ]

[nyas]

[ points and laughs at YOU pokemon sounding ass ]

Tch. [ TCH ] Was sure it was right with the hint I got.

[ smh ] The hell is a Ditto anyways. Never heard that monster before.

[recession]

[ You in my dms about the monster list: ditto?????
Me, the ditto: yeah what the fuck is that ]

You're actively hunting, huh? What kinda hint did you get?

Also, beats me. Nobody I asked told me anything about it.

[ Why does nobody here play Pokemon. ]

[nyas]

[ HELP MEEE honks your clown nose ]

Only just got my hint recently so, didn't do a lot of hunting before that. [ things happened and you just ] But I know someone that found their partner so I figured I'd try harder.

Hint was that they're a sullen sort. [ :harold: ]

Hrrmm... I know some of these monsters but not a whole lot. Just ones I've gone against or seen in the dungeon.

[recession]

...Great.

[ He supposes he can see why she'd think it'd be him. ]

Knowledgeable in monsters, Miss Izutsumi? I know about half of this list, but I'm afraid the others are a bit lost on me.

[nyas]

Huhh.. there's a few other people I could ask but one of them feels like a pain in the ass to try to.

[ but a shrug, she at least managed one of the potentials ]

I guess? Depends on what ones. I only really know what ones I faced off of. I'm nothing like someone back where I'm from that's a giant monster fan and knows almost everything about a whole lot of them.

[recession]

Mr. Kanda seems a good candidate.

[ He's just going to say it, man. Good luck if it is. ]

That kind of expertise would've probably come in really handy around now. Nobody I've asked so far is familiar with a bakunawa, ditto... koromodako.

[ Me, forced to be ignorant about Asian monsters like oh n. ]

[nyas]

Maybe if I beat it out of him that'll work better than just asking.

[ if it is him she's screwed. anyways laios would've been living his life here man. ]

Hmmm... nope! Never heard of them before.

[ the way she has seen a sea serpent but these names really mean nothing to her rip my ass. ]

[recession]

[ AU where I read Dungeon Meshi like a year ago and played him, it would be absolutely incredible. He would be harassing everyone to desperately know their monster. ]

I can only see that going badly for everyone involved.

[ You'll both get beaten up AND you won't get a monster. Or who knows, maybe Kanda will respect that sort of hustle. ]

Unfortunate, but thank you regardless. Hopefully I'll be able to apply some level of backwards deduction, if nothing else... just hope it won't be too late by then.

[nyas]

[ he would've been blorbo'd the fuck out by everyone let's be real here.

anyways no her plan is foolproof. she believes in herself to win. ]

Can you not just ask the horned Seers about what kind of monsters those are?

[ anyways it is memshare and we will not escape this lovely fact, so yoinks them both into the shadow realm for a memory to play not even a moment after. ]

[recession]

It's feeling like that's going to be my only option. They've already done a number of things for me and the rest of us -- didn't want to burden them too much, especially following what happened to Mr. Nehan.

[ Spreading the work and asking while at it, more or less... but it really is looking like maybe going back to them is going to be how it is.

Also I never noticed her design has a bow in the back... that's so cute... ]

...

You're cursed?

[ This memory... and being all alone. He's quiet for a moment when he witnesses that, not sure how to approach it -- but that seems like an okay place to test the waters. ]

[nyas]

[ perhaps she would say, isn't that the point of the seers? but after what happened to Death, yeah... hmm.

her design really is cute, she is but a cat with a red bow.... anyways there's some clear annoyance at this memory playing, in a way where it feels like your dark secrets have been laid out in the open without being able to stop it.

... ]

Have been for as long as I can remember. Not like I was born this way.

[recession]

But I'd thought you'd said something about beast-men when we first met?

[ Something something, you act like you'd never seen one before in your life. I forgot the exact term but double-checking Google is telling me beast-men, if it's different then whoops. ]
