Day 3. So who's growing in their special witch powers?
What about getting themselves bit by stuff, anybody trying that out yet??

[He types, flippantly. He's still... kinda treating everything going on here as a game. Not a joke, at least not anymore, but as a game he's a-rollin' with. Easier to throw up your hands and say "a'ight, a'ight, I'll roll with all of this for now! Looks like it's more good for me than not!" than it is to... think of yourself as "part of" it, what with all that talk back with Miss Nessie 'bout how every human being here has friggin' tapped-or-untapped magical powers.

And seemed to kinda assume that extended to all the folks here. Well, ha-ha, he sure don't like he's got any magical powers!]

There's fucking magic here, who's anybody to say there's no how something works here??

[Come ooooon, how far-fetched is it that, like... one could put on a new friggin' monster type like layering goddamn winter clothes.

In-deed, when you got no clue what the heck's going on, here, anyway.]

I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure over at the monster bonfire I saw some kind of yeti with hands like a fucking scorpion.

[...Like -- their hands were scorpions? Or... their hands... were like a scorpion's, which are not... hands...]

Does that sound not like a hybrid to you??
Haha, did I stutter??
My world's FULL of fucking zombies!! All kinds of 'em!!
And a weird infection wound up sneaking into my mom and dad's house like three years ago so yep! I got me some cool zombie powers!!!

[I -- hm.]

[Granted, he does have a point about the magic. They don't know it won't combine that way, but Clark really doesn't want anyone to get hurt testing out this potentially dangerous theory. What if one creature's biology rejects another's? No one should be encouraging the public at large to try it just to find out.

But somehow he thinks pointing that out will fall on deaf ears.]

No, I read it, I'm just trying to understand it. Aren't zombies usually dead? I didn't know they could communicate so... eloquently, that's all.

And we should probably just see how things develop for now. We might have latent powers that haven't shown themselves yet. It'd be wasteful to go around getting bitten if we don't have to.

Nah, they're UNdead!

[Aah, hairsplitting.]

Guess it all depends on the kind. I'm not even pulling that outta my ass, either, I wasn't working all that closely with that kind of thing for long when I got sucked into my computer or whatever but science's gotta have made like a hundred kinds of them back where I come from.
I dunno, you could also think of it as another layer of experimenting!
If you wanna be the control group then fine but if I go get chomped I'll let you know if something fun happens.

[He does not plan on actively seeking to go get chomped. Yet, anyway.]

Right.

[Undead. Of course. He should have seen that one coming.]

You were working with things like this before you came here? Did I get that right? Are you a scientist?

[It would explain the apparent excitement and willingness to experiment with all these new changes, although Clark isn't sure what a scientist would think of magic. He's pretty sure this is in fact magic. But maybe a scientist will have more perspective.

...If he doesn't try to get chomped first.]
