Hey! So these questions may be sooooooo weird but I'm super curious!!

My friend was telling me a while ago about how she met some different people here, like a lizard (!) and stuff. That's kind of weird where we come from so I was wondering how many other people here aren't exactly human and from different places.

- Are you non-human / Do you know any non-humans?
- Where are you from? Like a different planet or world or something? How does that even work lol?
- Is there non-human stuff in your world? Not like animals and bugs, but aliens or stuff like that. Weirder stuff!
- Do they have phones and stuff where you come from? Cuz there's a looooot of people here who seem kind of tech illiterate.

Sorry if this is super weird. I'm kinda new and the only strange stuff my world has is zombies. Also even if you are a regular person you can answer the other stuff too, like getting to know each other!

( This may be information harvesting and a way to make sure Elise doesn't assume the sentient creatures in this place are monsters of the week she needs to smash. Or it's something way more innocent. Who's to say! )

good to know.
i'd hate tibia bother.

well, i am a monster.
we're kinda made of magic.

[farsighting]

If that's the kind of comedy you're talking about I'll pass lol

You know, I've heard about aliens and stuff here before but not magic. What can you tell me about it?

[skelebro]

c'mon, everyone loves jokes.

where i come from, monsters are pretty much built up of the stuff.
just kinda generate it naturally.

[farsighting]

That was more of a bad pun

Is it the kind of magic where you say like "hocus pocus" and you can make frogs appear and stuff? Magic on TV and in movies is usually used for creating stuff or fighting.

[skelebro]

same difference.

some monsters use it for that, sure.
it's more like it's an expression of self.
like another basic sense.

[farsighting]

Ohhhh that's super interesting! It'd be super cool to have magic like that. Kinda weird you use yours to come up with bad puns.

Unless you do other cool stuff with your skeleton monster magic? Notable stuff I mean since it's what I assume makes you do literally anything lmao

[skelebro]

i can make bones.

[There's a 50/50 chance he's bullshitting here.]

[farsighting]

You mean bones that aren't already part of your body......is that useful at all ??

[skelebro]

great for playing fetch.

[farsighting]

Guess that's pretty cool if you're a dog person.

[skelebro]

my brother worked with the canine unit back home, so it worked out perfectly.

[farsighting]

You need a canine unit even though you're monsters? Guess you guys had a full blown society going on.

[skelebro]

well, lesser dog's neck needed babysitting when it got too long.

[He is...actually not bullshitting here. Though she wouldn't be blamed for assuming he was.]

[farsighting]

Is that some kind of pun or riddle or am I supposed to understand what that means ??

[skelebro]

dogs like pets.
they get excited.
what can i say?

[farsighting]

Uhhhh so can I ask why only the neck needed to be babysat and not the rest of it?

[skelebro]

you've never seen how long a dog's neck can get.
it takes some wrangling.

[farsighting]

I don't know how long they are in inches or anything but it's not like they're giraffe.....

How long CAN a dog's neck get in monster world?

[skelebro]

we're talking measurement in yards.

[He'd make jokes about dialogue boxes but that'd probably go over everybody's head.]

[farsighting]

OOOOOOkay so maybe your dogs are giraffes....

[skelebro]

nah, i'm pretty sure we'd've noticed.
but like i said.

magic.

[farsighting]

Magic indeed...

Any other weird magic novelties I might find shocking or bizarre?

[skelebro]

as a rule of thumb, it's best to make sure the monster you're talking to can talk back before deciding they're out to eat you.

[farsighting]

Sounds like a proverb or something.

I'm guessing that means there are monsters where you come from that aren't fellow comedy enthusiasts, if you know what I mean.

[skelebro]

not especially.
thing is, if you look like me 'round here?
some people just tend to take a swing at you without asking questions.
