ANONYMOUS TEXT @ANONYMOUSSPIDER

[vivisexual]

I feel like being such a small group we're missing out on the potential of an anonymous message board, so I'm making it happen!!

What secrets or intrigue are people dying to get off their chest? Who's secretly dating? Who do you wish were secretly dating? Do you have a dark secret that's eating away at you? (°ロ°) ! You can vent here, consequence free!!! I want to know what everyone's getting up to behind closed doors.

It's fully anonymized, so you can be as honest as you want. Or not! I'm not opposed to starting baseless rumors. Have fun ♡ ～('▽^人)

[Feel free to follow my lead and have Google Docs' style anon ids if you like, just so characters who who's saying what.]

It's not a problem, but yes. We were turtles before we got mutated with our dad's human DNA.

[shadowban]

[ here's a horrifying idea, how would a human male mate with a turtle female— ]

i feel like this is something we maybe shouldn't know about each other early into a conversation.

[soft_shelled]

[Carefully, probably. Good thing there are no female mutant turtles.]

I mean, I guess?

[shadowban]

[ none yet. ]

just... parents and procreation can go down very uncomfortable roads.

[soft_shelled]

[...]

Whatever you're thinking of how my brothers and I were created? Is probably wrong.

[shadowban]

i am very much trying to not think it. you started it! you mentioned your dad and merging dna!

[soft_shelled]

Through science, technically alchemy if we believe certain people involved, though!

[Yeah, calling out Draxum and his claim of being an alchemist!!!]

[shadowban]

[ surprisingly— ]

alchemy's so cool though. is it traditional alchemy? is there transmutation involved? real magic?

i would like to know, if it's okay.

[soft_shelled]

It's just science, yokai just seem to be allergic to using the term.

[He is making a face at the mention of magic, thank goodness this is text.]

[shadowban]

...oh. that's less cool.

what kind of yokai? what are they made of?

[soft_shelled]

They're all different? The guy who mutated us is like... a goat man. And I'm pretty sure they're just made of carbon, like humans.

[shadowban]

[ if yokai are like curses... well, there are weirder shapes than being a goat, megumi guesses. ]

they could still die. but they can also be... nice?

[soft_shelled]

I mean, yeah? They're just like humans, some are nice and some are not.

[shadowban]

in our world we have creatures known as curses. they're born from cursed energy, in turn generated by humans experiencing negative emotions. grief, anger, hatred, anxiety and other similar feelings. these pour out of the soul and when they become concentrated, they take on a metaphysical form that only a few can truly perceive.

but they can harm humans easily, because at their core they're made by humans. some humans can become curses themselves.

i wonder if it's something like that too where you're from.

[soft_shelled]

... Probably not? Yokai are just like humans, only with non-human appearances. They're not made of any special energy or anything like that.

[shadowban]

[ this needs further investigation. not right now, though; he has to throw down with some weirdo anon. ]

so they're just that way from the start? ...have you ever mistaken one of them for something else? a yokai as a human or a human as a yokai?

[soft_shelled]

[Too bad the closest things to yokai from Donnie's world are well... Him and his brothers.]

Born that way, yes. And my brothers and I when we first met a large amount of them did assume they were mutants like us, we were quickly corrected.

[shadowban]

so there are humans, and mutants, and yokai. just like we have humans, sorcerers, and curses.

[ neat little labels for a messy arrangement. ]

are you safe?

you don't have to tell me or answer that at all. i
i guess i wonder if other people are kind to you despite the differences.

[soft_shelled]

Safe how?

Non-humans can't really leave base unless they're cloaked, so it's not like any one else can see me as me off base. So no one has done anything untoward.

... I mean, besides Kaga. But she's kind of touchy and violent.

[shadowban]

[ oh, a name. ]

kaga... they have a white fox tail, right? and have a robot companion thing that's similar? i met them last mission, i didn't like their attitude.

did they hassle you for being a turtle-shaped person?

[soft_shelled]

I... Don't think her fox is a robot? She's ah... Unique?

[Sorry, Kaga is like. Donnie's type so he likes her, and won't actively shit talk her.]

No, more like she seems to take everything I do the wrong way?

[shadowban]

i didn't pay close attention. they caught me in a bad mood, so i wasn't playing nice.

[ megumi has no such reservations when he dislikes people. honestly, he's kind of cancellable with how he behaves back home. ]

if she's treating you poorly, why do you hang out with her?

[soft_shelled]

I don't, actually. We just cross paths a lot.

[Which is true, he hasn't actively sought out Kaga at all lately.]
