[ 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.

[What an annoying weakness to have.]

You'll have to test it at some point. I don't recommend allowing yourself to go feral if you can help it.

Private

[halfbloodhatchling]

That's what I'm hearing.

[ Kai is pretty sure he's partly feral already to start. ]

[Near isn't exactly the best one to be giving advice in this area, but that doesn't make what he's saying any less true.]

Do you know what sort of monster you are?

Private

[halfbloodhatchling]

Nope. Guess I'll find out soon?

The speed at which one changes varies from person to person, but it shouldn't be too long before you start to get some idea.

Private

[halfbloodhatchling]

Great. I better not be a fucking dragon.

Private

[blankpieces]

Not fond of dragons?

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

[halfbloodhatchling]

The elfin where I'm from, they worship them. That's all a bunch of bullshit.

My relationship with them is more complicated, and I don't want to make it more so.

Private

Then let's hope whoever or whatever decides what monsters we become doesn't enjoy a bit of irony.

Private

[halfbloodhatchling]

There any rhyme to what kind of monsters we do become? Any way to predict it?

[ It might affect how dangerous he'd be, how much becoming feral would be a problem for others. ]

Private

[blankpieces]

Not as far as I'm aware.

[And he's been paying attention. ]

Private

[halfbloodhatchling]

Damn.

Well, thanks for the help.

Private

[blankpieces]

Of course. [For what little he could offer.]

Here's hoping you don't become something you don't want to be.

[ Kai just snorts. It's a little late for that for him. ]
