I wouldn't mind the environment being a little kinder, but ... but at least there's no war going on that we're part of, if nothing else. At least not overtly.
[Maybe it won't be so bad when spring arrives. And by next winter, if he was still here and not trying to get back to Japan in order to deal with his brother, surely there'll be a better time in contending with winter.]
.. I've heard of it, but I've not seen one. It is, I've been told, pretty much inevitable that we'll become one sooner or later.
[Losing minds to misery and sadness and suffering! Well!! He had plans about THAT.]
No, whenever I see people fighting it's about weird stuff on the omni. [the internet truly never changes.] People mention zealots too but I don't know what that is.
[sounds like a problem though. (spoilers, it is.)
the inevitability of beasthood makes him glance down. (45%)] Is that true? It's that common?
He hesitates, then nods. That's what he's been told.]
It's apparently a big problem. But there's incense and teas and things you can use to slow corruption down. And ... and I've heard a rumor I'm going to be checking on, about becoming beasts. There's people who can control it. If they can do it..
[RuuuUuUumors. What he'd heard isn't accurate.. but it's worth following up on.]
[have a nod there, age old wisdom. mob doesn't really do the whole internet thing much so it still surprises him a little. one day...
that rumor has him blinking and looking over.] There are people who can control themselves when they're a beast?
[this obviously interests him a great deal! excellent rumor.] Could you tell me if you find out more? That would be- it'd be really useful. [understatement!] I think... there's nothing scarier here than turning into one.
[Unsurprisingly, Yoichi's agreement is prompt and just a touch enthusiastic. If such a thing did exist, it'd be great! Then people would be far less at risk!]
I'll do so right away. If it's true, and we can be taught, everyone should learn it just in case. And if someone has to become a monster.. isn't it best if they're doing it in controlled circumstances?
[Fewer surprises, more safety measures taken.]
There's.. a lot of scary things I've heard of but most of them are beyond our control. Focusing on what I can do ... .. and if they can do it, everyone can. I hope.
Well, in that case when I find out, I'll pass it along! But since turning into a monster is dangerous, perhaps I shouldn't try it out with anyone around for a little while. Just in case.
[He'd probably feel terrible if he accidentally ate someone.]
Or maybe the people who know can teach us both, and just.. separately. At least should anything go wrong I should be pretty easy to stop, fighting's not something I'm exactly built for.

[given most of his experience with people using their powers poorly had a little to do with feeling isolated by those powers.]
Yeah, especially corruption. [hm] Have you seen a beast yet?

sorry for the delay, life...have an intent nod immediately at that.] It would be. If it could stop people from losing all their control...[a genuine dream come true. frankly most of his deepest fears here finally settled.
there is admiration in his voice when he says,] That's a really good way of looking at things. I want to help, if I can.
