But similar. [ well, that's fine. ] Locking it to our blood isn't as weird as how they spawned anyway.

[ no it is weird it's just. how did they even get in the swamp. ]

[sixillusions]

And why...

[What was the point of taking their stuff just to give it back]

[residentmerc]

Showing off what they can do?

[sixillusions]

[EYE TWITCHES...]

[residentmerc]

[ mood.... ]

Everything here seems on theme to freak people out. Could be another one of those.

[sixillusions]

[Ugh...

Though, for now, Kanda is still operating on the assumption that he knows what's happening here, so:]

They wouldn't waste time on something like that.

[Not that the villains he's thinking of don't like their mind games, but this seems too labor-intensive for them]

[residentmerc]

You still think it's that Innocence thing?

[sixillusions]

[At this point in time, he's still fairly confident--but he'll acknowledge the possibility.]

I don't know of many other things that could do this.

[residentmerc]

Can't say I do either. But there's already been plenty of things here I've never heard of.

[sixillusions]

[This would be an excellent time to ask "like what?" like a good conversationalist, so obviously Kanda doesn't do that and just inclines his head slightly.]

If nothing changes in a few days, I will consider other possibilities.

[And then the "other possibility" shows up so that will answer that, but for now he's still treating this like a pretty normal DGM occurrence]

[residentmerc]

Fair enough. I haven't found anything that matches that description yet.

[ he said he'd let kanda know if he had, so... here you go... he is saying the other way...

they are both bad conversationalists this is terrible ]

[sixillusions]

[IT'S FINE... THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM TOLERABLE TO KANDA, KING OF STONEWALLING

He doesn't say "that's okay" or anything because he sucks, but--]

It might take time. [So he's annoyed but not, like, freaked out and upset. That will come later, when he learns they are nerfed for the foreseeable future.]

[residentmerc]

[ its fine cloud will watch him fight an npc and go relatable ]

How much time does it usually take?

[sixillusions]

[Someday actual NPC murder will happen on opening weekend and we'll all be pikashook about it

Also. God. What a great question.]

Usually a few days. Sometimes more. [And sometimes they find nothing, and sometimes they find it and then they get killed and robbed, IT'S A SHIT JOB REALLY]

[residentmerc]

[ writes down for my next modding ]

...Least that's doable. [ he is on a deadline so he is all for it being only a few days!! he doesn't know about kanda's shit job issues

he also doesn't yet know it is not a few days but neither of them do ]
