[A deft and swift hand is sketching across the paper. The image takes form quickly, and when done, looks something like this.

Beneath the rather freakish vision, Huo's neat handwriting:]

Appearances do not necessarily reflect character.

True colors make one wonder.



[OOC: Mod word sez, can see thestrals even if don't remember having seen someone die. Thanks, mods!

Is no biggie I guess ^^

And all of us, with little to no knowledge of who we truly are. I wonder.

[iattractmushi]

Thanks. [Totally going to take some meat to the forest and try to get a closer look at one of the Thestrals now.]

Oh getting all esoteric 8| At least you're nicer than Moon.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

You make a new identity for yourself with each new lifetime. Don't see how this is any different.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

Okay. Is nice?

Buddhist philosophy get!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

And what about karma, Smoke-jūn?

Indeed!

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

What about it?

having read comments below

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

You say they're carnivores, yet amenable to riders? That's an intriguing combination.

[... Yeah, so going to sneak down there in the evening now.]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Good luck. [Totally knows what you're doing, he did the same.]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

They are, apparently, 'magical creatures'.

Shall we, then? [Really, how can anyone resist?]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Will you deny it entirely?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Naw man, but karma from the past you can't change. You can do all the good stuff and not be the same person you were last life.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

I see. That's an interesting distinction. [Something about it seems off to him, but he can't quite pinpoint what.]

Sounds like a plan. You think we ought to go by the butcher's and bring something to bribe them with? I don't really have time for a hunt today, so might as well avail ourselves of the conveniences of civilised society.

[brbnaptime.livejournal.com]

You saw one of those too, huh? Strange things.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

But they're not monsters? I admit I thought they might be at first, but if they're tame I'll have to go meet them.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Just like any animal, it won't attack if you do not threaten it.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I don't think that they are dangerous, although, all the same, be careful.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Is there anything in the castle that is not strange?

[brbnaptime.livejournal.com]

good point!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

If your nature allows it.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

An excellent idea, let us do that.

I doubt we will find a fitting bridle in the bazaar, but perhaps I can improvise something - unless you believe that we can do without.

[live_ringer]

Guess it can't help that it's ugly. Maybe it wants to make up for the lot it's been given by playing nice.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

Yes. Predator.

As compared to canon... he has evidence here to believe it

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Huh? People change. May take awhile, but it happens.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Even tigers, when not desperate, shy from preying on men. And these creatures are tame.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I like your manner of thinking.
