If anyone happens to find that snake-oil salesman known as "Magnifi", do tell me as I have a few choice words I'd like to share with him that aren't at all appropriate for this device. And if you also find the group of teenagers who were helping him hawk that concoction, please send them my way as well.

Now, all of that aside: has anyone found themselves in possession of any new appendages after taking that? Of the long, furry variety to be specific. Or... varieties in my case. And no, I won't be showing them off if I can help it.

"long, furry variety"

did you turn into a fucking cat?

[redlines]

I don't believe they're from a cat per se...

[electroburst]

wait, i was kidding. you actually turned into an animal??

[redlines]

Not... quite.

Do you have that cafe in Wall Market? You know the one. With the little costumes.

[electroburst]

the furry one?

[redlines]

The other one. I implore you to not make me say it.

[electroburst]

no, yeah, you're gonna have to be more specific. there's a lot of freaky little dressup places in wall market.

[redlines]

I take back every nice thing I've said about you. It's... admittedly one of the more tamer places they have to offer but|

_{[ IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS WEIRD OKAY!!! ]}

I'd say I'd fit in more with the one where the wait staff are wearing ears and tails. Only these seem to be real.

[electroburst]

oh, nya nya paradise? yeah, i've been there. fuck's sake, what're you so embarrassed about? it's just a

[electroburst]

[ just abruptly starts fucking laughing ]

oh my god. you're a catboy??????

[redlines]

I don't know what they belong to, but I'm 100% certain it is not a cat! Nor am I!

[electroburst]

what is it then? what kinda furry are you?

[redlines]

How the hell should I know? I'm not a zoologist. Also, not a furry.

[electroburst]

well what do they look like, brainiac?

[redlines]

Like the least-feline thing you can imagine. You'll have to come find me in person if you want to see them for yourself.






I've ruled out cats, rabbits, and most dogs in the city. They're not wolf, either, seeing as to my knowledge their ears aren't this... long.

[electroburst]

not a guard hound? they got those whip-ears. also, i know you didn't just challenge me to track you down.

[redlines]

Too much fur. It's not much of a challenge when I've hardly left the inn since this morning too, Red. You'll just have to find the right room, which...

_{[ Considering he has to talk into this dumb little keychain, welp. ]}

Regardless I'm not a difficult man to find. Plus another reason why I'm nixing a guard hound is the, erm. Tail is too long. You know those poor things hardly have one to wag on a good day.

[electroburst]

oh, is that all? yeah, i could pick your blabbermouth out of a crowd of 1000. be there in 5 seconds.

i'm not really a dog guy, but i think it's cute. the no tail wiggly butt thing. it's too bad, you could've improved your look a little bit.

[redlines]

I'm not sure if I ought to take that as a compliment or not. Both picking me out and the bit about improving my look.

Personally I think I look just fine without having to shake my ass, but I won't judge if you're partial to seeing it.

[electroburst]

i'll leave that for you to figure out.

says the guy who definitely had to shake more than that to get those bike mods. hey, can you control that thing? the tail?

[redlines]

A wave of the wallet goes a long way.

But. I don't know. It certainly seems to have a mind of it's own but I suppose I could if I were to focus on it? Why?

[electroburst]

just wondering if it's gonna wag when you see me.

[redlines]

Do you want it to?

[electroburst]

sure, i guess. it would be pretty funny.

[redlines]

Then you'll have to earn it, Hotshot.

B-T-W I'm drawing the line at saying "welcome back, meow-ster."

[electroburst]

don't sound like i'm gonna have to!

fuck, just the fact that you had to say it out loud to get it to come through to me in text is enough. that energy's out there in the world and you can't ever put it back.

[redlines]

It may be out there but it'll be something that'll sit just out of reach. You'll just have to settle for trying to imagine what it'd sound like in person and manage with the realization that no matter the road your dreams take you down, it'll never live up to reality.

_{[ And he has to live with the realization that these silly little charms don't have emoji support. What's the point???????? ]}

I would think if you ingested a concoction, the effects will wear off after a certain amount of time.

As for Magnifi and his associates, what does he look like?

Re: {Text}

[redlines]

I can only hope. I didn't think twice given that elixirs and potions are how some common ailments are cured where I come from and I had been nursing a rather sizeable headache since that beast attacked, but I've never had anything like this happen.

He's rather short. Magnifi himself had a moustache I'd only thought I'd see in old television shows - slicked and curled at the ends. Those guiding people to him were locals, I believe. One lives on a small farm given his clothing but I'm not so sure about the others.

[heavensdragon]

Your logic is understandable. The next time you feel a headache, I ask that you seek out a true healer. I am one of a few and I give you my word you will have no disastrous or distracting side-effects.

Could he have been in disguise?

[redlines]

It doesn't involve a truckload of incense, does it? Someone took one look at my eyes a few days after arriving here and thought I was sick, so she wound up shoving me into some shed with nothing but.

I don't think so. He was too... confident in himself.

[heavensdragon]

I have no need for incense. I use my spiritual power to heal. Are you attuned to any element in particular?

He will be found. We have enough problems without someone feigning healing magic.

[redlines]

Elements in the magical variety, yes? Or in the... What was it again... Astrology? Planetology? One of those two.

When he is, remember I want to have that talk with him.

[heavensdragon]

Both, actually. I am aligned with Water. If your nature is Fire, I won't be able to heal you.

He won't be killed. I'm sure he will be available for a conversation.

this would be an instance of curiosity killing the cat, wouldn't it?

or maybe i just should've tried warning people that he was a scam.

[redlines]

I'd hardly say so given that potions, elixirs and whatnot were fairly common curatives where I come from. Phoenix feathers too, but I haven't seen any of those here yet.

_{[ Would they even do anything for the headache he was nursing before all of this? He's, uh. Never actually tried. ]}

They don't belong to a cat, by the way. I'm not sure what they were attached to just by looking at them alone, but I'm not much of an animal person to start with.

[caregives]

i guess i'm just still kind of suspicious of things after everything that's happened, then.

[she's kind of a suspicious person in general, so yanno.]

if you need anything in the future, you can come to me instead. i won't turn you into an... animal of some description?
