so i've been doing some thinking lately and i got a pretty major question mainly for other monsters, but i'll totally take tips n tricks from witches too

ANYWAY
its about the whole
going feral thing.

are there any major-major signs before you go apeshit or does it just happen? and outside of bonds and stuff, what's the easiest way of snapping out of it? or snapping other people out if you find them?

hhhhey can someone do me a huge favor and uh

keep me from boring myself to death in the maze while i wait for the organizers to come get me? my maze buddy-slash-roomie kinda bailed on me like a dick after he said itd be a good "bonding" experience
think im gonna look for another place after this so if you see a wolf-y looking dude with brown fur, blue streaks in his tail and green eyes? he sucks :(

_{[He's so going to get his stuff from the apartment and leave a dead fish in the chimney, mark his words.]}

but tell me your fave things guys
doesnt have to be anything big think like...
fave foods, places to hang here, any songs you like, hobbies, that sorta stuff! i got an hour or two to kill so lay it on me dudes

[suddenly, a post appears.

And several minutes later, it's appended. And then again. And again. Until it looks a little like this:

soooo this is kinda awkward, but when i woke up this morning my feet weren't working? like i can't move my toes??? Has anyone else had anything like this happen before?

edit: OH MY GOD??? right after i posted that my toes just like. STUCK TOGETHER. i think there's something really wrong with my feet!!

Hullo again! I hope everyone is well!

<sub>[Yes that's right Aefenglom...your favourite Lalafellian entrepreneur is back and has clearly been...busy? She seems to be in her kitchen, a set of distilling equipment behind her, various metal and glass containers connected with piping and tubing to create an apparatus that's purpose soon becomes clear. The confident little lady is proud of herself as she stands on a chair in all her three feet of glory, large glass bottles grasped in each hand. The one on the left sports a liquid with a light blue hue to it and what seems to be golden flecks that shimmer as they float about. The other bottle though holds a liquid that looks like a rosé in color, seemingly innocent enough, until one notices the small but very apparent wormlike larvae whose bio-luminescent skin gives off a faint green glow.

She gives each of the bottles a shake, the flakes and larvae floating about respectively.]</sub>

I've been attempting to recreate a few of the most popular spirits one can find in Ul'dah and I've almost managed to get the recipe juuust right! Of course it isn't perfect, as ingredients here are a bit different to what's available in Eorzea...but so far I'm happy with the result! The blue one here is said to make the drinker see stars if they have too much of it and this one _{[Yeah, the worm one...]} well they say if you can down a whole bottle you'll be strong enough to take down a rampaging goobbue with your bare fists!

_{[She sets the two bottles down on the table so she can talk with her hands, as one does.]}

While these spirits suit my own palette just fine, I wanted to survey how other Mirrorbound might find them, so I'm looking for willing taste testers, if you will! The more the merrier. If you like what you taste I'll give you a bottle of it to take with you. If you don't, then I'll buy you a drink of your choosing.

_{[What's there to lose, right?]}

And speaking of brews...does anyone have a particular favourite drink from where they hail from? If so, what is it? I'd love to hear about it, alcoholic or otherwise!

Ohh yes!! Hello darlings... My. So many of you, to bear audience to my post. Something's been on my mind for a few weeks now. And with so many questions on the network this month, why not conduct a survey of my own?

QUESTION: How many digits do you have on your hand? Fingers, thumbs, claws, fins, amorphous appendages. You name it, you count it! In as much detail as you'd like!!

Every reply will receive feedback on the configuration of your hand... by none other than ME!! Some lucky responses may receive any extra commentary that comes to my dazzling mind! Will you be one of the bold and the lucky...?

Man becomes monster: what a common theme throughout human literature. Yet in this world, it's an aspect of life that's hardly worth batting an eye at. Were Shakespeare here, he'd cream himself over the ripe psychological suffering among the Mirrorbound. Him, or certain nuns...

[bro what the FUCK are you talking about]

Thinking about those two in cahoots gives me an ulcer. I feel like vigorously scrubbing my brain smooth, so I can't picture it! Maybe that way, I won't be beset by stupid thoughts!

But I am, unfortunately, sentient, and I will continue to suffer this farce of an existence. As if that wasn't enough, I've been plagued by a question for the past few days. Witches, I'm not talking to you. You can gawk and stare if you'd like, I certainly can't stop you from being voyeurs.

Monsters. What are your feelings towards being pet? Is there truly a polite way to ask for a petting?

OOC: TW: the following post contains images of various insects and bugs, including spiders! Please proceed with caution.

Seeking anyone with an interest in insects:

I have been reading a guide about the various insects found throughout the city. And as the weather has been warming up, I have been surveying to see what I can find.

I have so far found the following:
A giant snail
This rather cute poodle moth
and this tarantula.

I also came across this rather... curious looking specimen but, my book has no information as to what it could be. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most interested to hear it! I would also be interested to hear about any bugs you come across.
