[it is entirely possible he intends to get wolf-bitten on purpose soon anyway. so he actually just

wanders up to a polite but not unreasonable distance]

New development?

I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[finalbows]

More like two doses of something old, handed out to me in a shiny new box. Did you know I'm the universe's favorite chewtoy? Every day I come to understand that more.

...

[ sniffs air, delicately. charon's the first person to roll up since he transformed that wasn't onhand already-- this is a good taste-- a good test.


Verdict...
Definitely... wanna bite... that's like, fresh pastry on a plate sitting undefended level. there's not that same loving familiarity of wanting to gnaw on his flock like a puppy who also very much wants to eat you (Rose blood is the best of everyone's!). Charon would be fun to maul because after all the business of blooshed the everpresent coat is like wrapping paper you can rip up into long strips methodically--

Shakes his head enough a little puff of down comes off. Stuffs his face into the grass and flowers. ]

If it makes you feel any better, you would not be able to eat me unless I allowed you to.

I am surprised you’re lucid.

Re: I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[finalbows]

_{Don't say that. That sounds like a challenge. I hate ignoring challenges.}

Anyway. Let's call me cautiously optimistic, but it also can't be easily replicated. When I regained that aged moniker I'd lost, something else I'd once "had" came along with it, too.

“A little something something,” I believe Hannya called it?

High praise coming from a man who got a GOOD roll from the roulette. Clovers.

So it grants a power, but in your case the power was lycanthropy. But freed somewhat of this place’s constraints.

[mmm]

Want to try something interesting?

Re: I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[finalbows]

[ nigh immediately, ]

I like interesting.

Are your paws just paws or can you use them like hands?

Re: I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[finalbows]

...

[ sits down on his launches, and curls his tail around in front of him to press firmly on the ground. lifts one paw, a little uncertainly, and gives it a flex.

a BIT more articulate than he expected...


Angel Devil reaches out to the grass with that paw, and rips some up, by grasping it rather than clawing at it. HE CAN AT LEAST DO THAT! NEAT! ]

Re: I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[endsjustified]

[nods a little, approving]

Try this on and see if it dampens the urges a bit.

[he’s gonna pass over one of the wolves’ masks. probably a ghost carries it over idk he’s still not getting STRAIGHT into bite range if Angie’s apparently trying to work on not being bitey]

Re: I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[finalbows]

[ sniffs it with a look of intense scrutiny. turns head to look at leviathan and azdaja. then takes it. tries to vibe check it with his magic. can't; he has no magic enabled right now thanks to touching the crystal rose before moonsrise.

dons the mask. WHAT HAPPENS??? ]

Re: I don't have enough dog icons trance will have to carry me

[endsjustified]

[you tell me actually. as per Ash:

- it keeps you sane through NORMAL lycanthropy, though with lingering urges to eat meat and bite people like Angie is still working on right now.
- this works by hooking into one of your primary emotions (e.g. when Teleute hooked into Ayo she found unassailable joy she couldn’t affect, because that was the emotion his mask was using to shield and ground him)
- lets a werewolf go in the mist without the Wolf King’s whispers and despair driving them crazy, though it has the exact same limitation Angie already has, where he can smell his way in the mist but not see through it

since Angie is already lucid it might just make it much easier to focus up on one of his other emotions as a distraction from the hangries. but up to you]

1/2

[finalbows]

[ turns out this is a MASK OF THE AESTHETE because Wow the world is BEAUTIFUL he sure WANTS TO KEEP LIVING IN IT to keep looking at HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS ]

2/2

[finalbows]

[ he definitely still wants to put most of the living breathing things in it in his mouth and to chew on them but it feels a bit farther now. Less urgent. ]

...Huh.
So they all feel like this with one of these on?

[ he gets up. staying close to the fence and thus in charon's range of access, he slowly trots to the closest of Rose's several bodies of water to try and see if he can get a good look at his reflection. ]

Re: 2/2

[endsjustified]

That’s what I’m curious about. We did some testing the regular way, but obviously you’re somewhat unprecedented.

[leans on the fence, just. observing]

Re: 2/2

[finalbows]

[ admires himself in the water with the mask on. hmmmn. not bad. flexes his weird biblically accurate head wingies. ]

I can put my mind to a broader variety of topics now, for sure. I wonder how this would play with Rose's unique power...


I wonder if it could have even been a past Rose who invented these.

Re: 2/2

[endsjustified]

Who knows? All I’m aware of is that it’s wolves turning them out, currently.

Re: 2/2

[finalbows]

Hmm...

[ he turns to the other Roses present and calls over, ]

One of you! I need help to test something! It might give our flock, specifically, an interesting new angle to play wittthhh~~!

[poisonista]

Oh? What do you have in mind?


[ He's just been Observing™ ... and being tired after dealing with other things post-game so he is not wasting time being confused and wtf at Angie anymore. ]

[finalbows]

There's a... "feeling," inside of this mask. I want to see if we Roses are capable of altering, or suppressing it.

[poisonista]

Sounds simple enough. I haven't tried to manipulate anyone's emotions yet, though.

What are we looking to do, then? Are you going to wear it and have us try and affect you externally?

Re: 2/2

[endsjustified]

[well as long as the experiment isn’t destroying it he will popcorn.gif I suppose]

Re: 2/2

[finalbows]

Would you inform the nice lad of the context behind this mask I'm wearing and how YOU believe it functions, Charon? I have my own theories, but I'm also a walking pile of complicating factors on a good day.
