hey. so this is korra. the werebear?

just wanted to see how you're doing. it's been...well, more than a month.

[wellplayedbitch]

I remember you.

How do you think I'm doing?

[After all, everyone had known what was coming. She just hadn't listened.]

[bent_the_world]

everybody's different. and...well...some possibilities are better than others....

[wellplayedbitch]

Well.
A good portion of my face has peeled off.
I'd say I'm in the realm of "bad possibilities."

[bent_the_world]

....wow, yeah. so i'm guessing you're...undead of some kind?

that's gotta suck.

[wellplayedbitch]

Research would indicate I am a Shade, but I could be wrong. It is still too early to tell and some of the indicated changes have yet to appear on me.
I'm not sure where they rank on the living to undead scale though.
Thankfully, I haven't had any sort of hunger set in. Aside from the usual craving of things too sugary for daily consumption.

[bent_the_world]

oh! well, shade isn't too bad...i mean, compared to other stuff. you won't be able to stay solid in light, i don't think,
but it's not one of the DEAD undead things.

sometimes the hunger takes a couple months.

[wellplayedbitch]

Well.
I've made a point of avoiding sunlight for the past month so.
We're good there.

I'd rather not eat anyone ever.
But I get the feeling I'm asking for too much there.

[bent_the_world]

nobody wants to. or...they shouldn't.

just...don't try and put it off or think you can fight it.

[wellplayedbitch]

I don't suppose it's possible to have a hunger for knowledge?

[bent_the_world]

...maybe if you mean wanting to eat people's brains....

[wellplayedbitch]

Uh...
No. No I don't think that's...
Anyway...

[bent_the_world]

no monsters crave brains. i don't think...

you hit a point where you have to laugh about it or you go nuts.

[wellplayedbitch]

You'd think that we'd be nuts for even believing any of this.
But here I am, peeling bits of skin off my face and thinking that maybe regular old flesh wouldn't be so bad, at least compared to brains.

Have I mentioned that I hate this place

[bent_the_world]

i've been here for years, i think people are nuts for NOT believing it.

it...gets easier.

[wellplayedbitch]

It had to have sounded preposterous to you at some point though, right?

[bent_the_world]

not exactly. i come from a world that's a lot different than most people's.

i just thought...i could beat it somehow.

[wellplayedbitch]

Like everything you came from made you special enough to stand against it?

Yeah, welcome to the club.

[bent_the_world]

yeah, something like that.

but that's why i said what i did about the hunger. don't try and fight it or think you can hold out or just starve and come back. it doesn't work that way and it'll end up being way worse.

[wellplayedbitch]

This place has stripped us of our strength and turned us into little more than pawns. I hope I find a way to make that fog woman pay.


But, uh... I'll keep that in mind. To be honest though, I'm not exactly how this... soul eating concept works.

[bent_the_world]

you and half the world. most people want to get back at the fog god, other than those who worship her for some reason.

i dunno, i'm a bear.

[wellplayedbitch]

Do people like us -- non-natives -- really worship her? She's the one that took us from our homes.

I suppose bears wouldn't eat souls, would they?

[bent_the_world]

yeah, i dunno, there's people that like it here and think being a monster is great.

nope. bears eat what bears eat.

[wellplayedbitch]

And you?

That was a rhetorical question. I should... probably appreciate the confirmation though. God this place is weird.

[bent_the_world]

i deal with it how i can.

well you never know, the bunny monsters drink blood....

[wellplayedbitch]

But do you like it here, is what I'm getting at.

Ugh. I regret this topic so much.

[bent_the_world]

i like some things. but it's not home and i'd rather not be here.

you get used to it.

[wellplayedbitch]

You're remarkably unhelpful.
But I think I understand what you're saying.
