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.
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.
[ 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?
[ 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.
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.
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.
[ 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.
[ 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. ]
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. ]
[ 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.
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. ]
[ me every time i see that icon like: daan your barbie hairdo ]
That's just what everyone else call those like me. Those cursed with having their soul merged with a beast soul's, "Beast-men." But that's not what I was - what I am, I'm a Tall-man! Which most of you lot seem to call Tall-men "human.".

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

[ 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.
no subject
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?

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

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

Ditto.
[ points and laughs at you ]

Tch. [ TCH ] Was sure it was right with the hint I got.
[ smh ] The hell is a Ditto anyways. Never heard that monster before.
no subject
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. ]

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

[ 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. ]
no subject
[ if it is him she's screwed. anyways laios would've been living his life here man. ]
Hmmm... nope! Never heard of them before.
