[hate himself...

he thinks he might, what with the memories he does have -- of grieving for this person, versus all the ones he's lost -- the happier ones]

After another sixty years, we went back to the tree one last time. ...But Jiu-chan and I turned into monsters, and we tried to kill Te-kun and Nogiku-san.

They managed to stop us in time though. We ended up meeting a woman who asked us to deliver a sword to Steel-san.

[disingenuous]

The repeating theme of having to fight each other....

[ She had been wondering if it had happened to the other group.

But that's interesting. ]

Steel was named in your adventure?

[nightchild]

[he shakes his head]

Not exactly. The woman -- Makoto -- only told us to give it to 'her'. And since the other groups found stuff that belonged to the residents, and Steel-san likes swords, we figured it was theirs.

[disingenuous]

That makes sense. Of all four of them.... they would be the one who'd have a connection to swords.

That's a long time to spend somewhere without looking like you aged.

[nightchild]

I guess I cheated a little, since I wasn't entirely human during it. Also, the years kind of passed by in a blur? It felt like years and also like ten minutes.

I hope you weren't stuck for that long in your journey.

[disingenuous]

Not entirely human?

[ Tell her of your furriness, Itsuki. ]

I'm not sure... how much time passed where I was. A voice mentioned nights, but it didn't really seem to be like over a night had passed.

[ It's hard to say. ]

[nightchild]

[nights...

Itsuki puts his fingers on his head to form... cat ears, which is his best approximation for fox ears]

I was a kitsune -- a fox demon. I had the ears and tails when I got back, but they disappeared when I got into the pod.

[disingenuous]

[ she wrinkles her nose. ]

Why is that a common theme?

[nightchild]

Which part -- turning into animals?

[Roxana furry... real]

[disingenuous]

.... Yes. I came back with a tail, but it wasn't real.

[ (mod voice) cute costume style. ]

But the others appears as bipedal animals to me.

[nightchild]

[cute costume style...]

Did it seem specific to the place you were in? Like... they were all native animals or something...

[where DID roxana and co go im in tears]

[disingenuous]

[ did itsuki not get a memshare from kashuu about the cyoa.....

She shakes her head after a moment. ]

I'm not sure. But it was... everyone, even the people they pulled from here or from home.

[ So perhaps it's what was meant, that everyone there should be as animals. ]
