FOR THE ATTENTION OF LIKE-MINDED SCHOLARS, men of science, or students of so-called enchanted or monstrumological biology, a series of inquiries—

Who among you has conducted studies between the mutations found in Mirrorbounded and those of the local population? Have any notable discrepancies been recorded between the two?

What data have you recorded or observed with respect to the natural progression of the affliction - at which point does the local population begin to manifest their traits (from birth? with the beginning of puberty? in response to a natural environmental trigger?), versus the length of time it takes a non-native to begin to experience significant alteration to the self?

Has the presence or lack of a Bond been recorded to emphasize or slow the progression of relevant mutative factors? I do not speak of the frankly exhaustively documented question of the Bond's stabilizing properties, but rather as to whether individuals with inhuman traits or extranatural abilities find the progression of their affliction altered when compared to individuals with no long term Bond.

Is this so with the native population as well? At what age are native children to Bond? Refer to the second point, et cetera.

Copies of your notes, recommended reading, and so on may be submitted below.

WANTED, GENERALLY—

Individuals of sense and discretion for work relating to the collection of rare and unique samples. Compensation to be negotiated. Inquire below.

Individuals for study, all levels of mutation and Bond status welcome. No compensation. Inquire below.

Not what that means, but thanks for the tiniest shred of reassurance.

Is this all gonna be above board, or do I need to contact an adult?

[chiastic]

I see no reason why it should fall below it, but your confidence is most appreciated.

[coherer]

Since when have you acted worthy of anyone's confidence?

You're a hot, dickish mess on this network, dude.

[chiastic]

Thank god you are here to act as moral authority, then. Going forward, I will happily submit all my copy writing to you for advance approval.

[coherer]

Hey, you're the one who decided to inflict your mordant wit on all these hapless people.

tbh, so long as your studies and experiments don't hurt anyone then it's probably necessary. Have you bonded with anyone yet?

[chiastic]

With respect to your response in totality and on the subject of manners, of which you are evidently so fond:

I invite you to mind your own business.

[coherer]

Haha okay, okay, just trying to make conversation.

You managed to get a few bites, though, so that's good. Did you believe any of this existed before you came here?

[chiastic]

I have no interest in making conversation. Should you feel any inspiration toward productivity rather than small talk, you would be most welcome to participate in my study.

Until then.

No way in hell LMAOOO

Talk to you later, grumpy.
