[After the mini-event sometime, they can happen upon Death in the village waiting for them. Upon being sniffed, she will pick up on the smell of dirt, old books, and something like mint.
Some of us were already dealing with our own curses before being lumped with another monster. [ ears flick back. ] It's not a permanent side effect, is it?
[ though she squints a little at that sorry, hmmmm. she doesn't take it for real. wary cat. ..wait. ]
Unintended my... [ GRUMBLING. a huff after, tail lashing in minor agitation and a pin back of her ears. drops her hands on her hip in a Stance. ] What? It's not obvious by how I look? This whole thing is a curse.
[ she is starting to realize that some people are either too used to a cat girl or completely shocked by it. ]
Ended up here? [ head tilt... staring.] Why not just leave?
I didn't expect they'd let me go very easily. Powerful, shady organizations are like that. Besides, I'm in no rush home.
[After that, they pause, then reach up to kind of shimmy one of their 'horns' off. From it pops out a fluffy animal ear of some kind that was squeezed and stuffed underneath, which flicks now that it's free. Dryly,]
There's always a way out. You just gotta look for it. [ rebel!!!!!
also she watches this happen with a cat squint that changes to one of curiosity. her pupils sharpening to thin needle and her tail swishes side to side. ]
..A beast-man? Or a Kobold? [ sniffing a little as if that would give her the answer. though, she stares a bit more and the gestures at the 'horn' in a motion for them to take it off. ] Isn't it uncomfortable like that? Free the other one too.
[ ....she's gonna circle them and peek low now. bro where's the tail ]
Not a Kobold. Never heard of a beast-man. ...I don't have a tail, stop looking. Most of us don't.
[Is she just looking at their butt. She will find no secrets there. It is flat, I guess.
They just gently shoo her with their cane like git before obliging and taking off their other horn. They're fairly large ears so she is right, they seem eager to be free, judging from their flicking.]
...And it's not always that simple. If I leave without dismantling the organization first, problems will only persist.
[ no tail..... what the gbf furry. but yeah she is not deterred by the "stop looking." she really is no care looking at APPARENTLY A FLAT ASS?
a small surprised cat squeak at that gentle cane shoo, hey watch it she's lookin' here!! but she will stop, watching their ears for a moment before she stands straighter with her own ears flicking back. ]
So you're sticking around until you can destroy it from the inside?
[Sorry we can't all be adorable animals with cute tails... They let their cane tap back against their side once kitty cat is shooed.]
...Yeah. That's the plan, anyway. Have you ever dealt with evil as a business? They're never satisfied. Even if they had all-consuming power after this, they wouldn't stop.
[ listen...... sometimes you're a dad. this is my favorite lore not to share. they don't mind izutsumi sticking around, but they do sit somewhere since their leg gives them some grief and they've walked to 20 audiences. ]
Ideally you'll be out of our hair as soon as possible. But I'm not optimistic.
This isn't the sort of thing that gets stopped overnight.
Just be careful, all right? I'm familiar with Erune biology, but if that's not what you are, then I don't want to have to think about what medicines you're allergic to.
Not.. Erune. [ says it slowly, like it's a very new word - which it is. ] Born a Tall-Man, which I guess some of you people call... "human"? People just call those cursed like me Beast-men. Mages using dark arts to merge our soul with that with a beast.
[ he seems to be taking mental notes. human, not erune. cursed, not modified. ]
There's people like that in every universe, it seems. Those who see the designs of life and want to get their paws all over it. You must not be happy with your extra passenger then. [ another beast in her head. ]
..Yeah. An experiment done for their own entertainment.
[ frowning now, looking incredibly grumpy at the conversation. ]
I'm not but. Not like I can really interact with the beast side of me before this, it's always kinda just there. But I'm sure it wouldn't be happy with this stupid monster either. Almost want to rip it out.

They just sort of... lean away a little.]
...Are you feeling better?
no subject
That body change power is stupid. [ ok ] You aware of who did it?
no subject
We know what your monsters and abilities are, yes. Before you ask, no, I won't disclose it.
no subject
Tch. [ so close.... "was she" so close.. though, she stares at them ] Are you guys affiliated with monsters too?
no subject
No. The monsters are a side effect of your summoning. An unintended one, but it is what it is.
We were invited to join the cult, so it's different. Perks of being part of a terrible, murderous organization. Sorry.
no subject
[ though she squints a little at that sorry, hmmmm. she doesn't take it for real. wary cat. ..wait. ]
And you want to be part of this cult?
[ you want to be a WEIRDO? ]
no subject
[This is asked like a nurse might question a patient, rather than a deeply personal thing.]
And no, I was never that attached to the cult. Just ended up here, mostly.

May as well commit, now that we're here.
no subject
Dunno about evil as a business. But eh, not too surprised they won't stop, it's kinda all they care about.
[ a slow tail flick. ] Guess it isn't as if we're going anywhere else anytime soon...

You sound like the type to rush into things. [ cat behavior... ]
no subject
You lose out on the opportunities you don't rush into. [ is... that how it is... ]
