[ The man on the screen isn't (yet) changed to a monster, but he's got pointed ears, purple eyes, and is delicately inhuman in a half dozen small ways. He flashes fangs when he smiles. ]
I'm Kai. Nice to meet you, etcetera, etcetera.
I have a couple of questions, and I'm hoping some people will take pity on a new person.
[ He ticks up his fingers, question 1. ] What's a man got to do to find bullets around here?
[ He shows off one of his Glock pistols. ]
Secondly, how important is this bond thing? Is it actually necessary, or is it another bullshit institution that people think has power because they buy in to it? Like marriage, or honor.

[ Is there a way to fake it? ]

[He's only done it once, and that individual's disappearance left him reeling.]
A witch without a bond will be destroyed by their own magic, though having a familiar can help for a while. It's unfortunately necessary for everyone.
no subject
Wait, they're accessing the witch's magic?
[ That sounds to Kai like it could be a problem, at least for him. ]
That's a necessary part of the bond?
no subject
[Not that he'd know much about that. He and Mello hadn't done nearly as much testing as he'd wanted with their bond after it had been formed.]
no subject
[ It's the best way Kai has to explain it, although it's of course more complicated than that. There's nothing natural about Kai at all. ]
no subject
[But again this is something he only knows a little about, as no one from his world had any magic to begin with. They hadn't brought along any shinigami or their notebooks.]
no subject
I don't know. I don't feel any different about anything else. Not sure how I feel about testing it.

My people can't handle the touch of raw iron, it burns and scars us. That much is still true in this place. I have residual iron dust in some old wounds. It's not usually a problem, as long as I avoid magic. It's, as far as I know, only an issue when it's cast on me, but that's not something I make a habit of testing.
Private
You'll have to test it at some point. I don't recommend allowing yourself to go feral if you can help it.
Private
[ Kai is pretty sure he's partly feral already to start. ]
Private
Do you know what sort of monster you are?

I would have thought there would be a lot of people who would prefer them.
[At least they would be seen as preferable to becoming a naga.]
Private
My relationship with them is more complicated, and I don't want to make it more so.
Private
Private
[ It might affect how dangerous he'd be, how much becoming feral would be a problem for others. ]
Private
[And he's been paying attention. ]
Private
Well, thanks for the help.
Private
Here's hoping you don't become something you don't want to be.
