[Naoya today is sporting a lovely bandaged hand, looking somewhat amused. He really does not know what the hell happened, but...]

Maybe we should start categorizing these things that we find. I ran into something that... I think you all might be amused by.

[He attaches a picture, and grins.]

I don't really know what it is, but it looks hysterical. It attacked me, of course, but it was still amazing.

Is 'purification by fire' a good first step under those conditions?

[video]

[crouching_sin]

Well, it doesn't generally hurt... as long as the thing's not resistant to fire.

[video]

[captainash]

I'm decent enough at remembering type weaknesses; I shouldn't make that kind of rookie mistake, unless one of those creatures has a particularly treacherous appearance.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

It might, but I have no real idea. We'll have to experiment, I suppose.

[video]

[captainash]

Experimenting strategies on the fly against opponents who would think nothing of maiming me. I love that part.

[...He actually sounds sincere about that, somehow.]

[video]

[crouching_sin]

At least it's interesting?

[video]

[captainash]

Everything is interesting, in this world. Misshapen monsters are unnecessary.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

True, but at least they're things that haven't been documented before.

[video]

[captainash]

I'm sure people will get over the novelty quickly enough.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

Probably. But the act of documenting them should be fun, at least.

[video]

[captainash]

It'll make for interesting stories to tell next month's newcomers, that's for certain.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

True. It depends who shows up.

[video]

[captainash]

I can't think of anyone from my world who wouldn't appreciate the tale, or at least stare at me for a few seconds before declaring the whole story a lie.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

Well, I know Loki would appreciate it, but I'm not sure who else might.

[video]

[captainash]

There has to be a potential audience for it. Even if they might not admit it in public.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

Oh, of course. There's always a potential audience for everything. Hell, I've seen people livestreaming paint drying.

[video]

[captainash]

...That's such a waste of bandwidth, time, and brain cells.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

I agree, but people are stupid.

[video]

[captainash]

That sort of stupidity doesn't harm others, at least, but that's its only quality.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

True. As long as it doesn't get in the way of what I need to do, I guess it doesn't matter.

[video]

[captainash]

How pragmatic. But who knows? Maybe one person watching paint dry at the wrong time will ruin your work.

[video]

[crouching_sin]

And if that happens, there'll be hell to pay, so I'll deal with that hiccup when I come to it.

[video]

[captainash]

Don<t be too harsh, now. People desperate enough to watch paint dry are in enough pain as it is.
