００３。「VOICE」

[ Will Kanda ever use something beyond text and voice? WHO KNOWS. He's a little breathless, very likely from fighting the new horde of zombies that have come to encroach on underground his home, but when he speaks? When he speaks, there's not a hint of irritation or exhaustion, rather the exact opposite of it.

There's definitely groaning off in the distance as more slowly make their way toward him, but he has a moment. ]

Fear, is this honestly the best you have? [ There's a smirk in his voice as he's definitely grinning widely off screen. ] You know, when someone poses a challenge, you ought to actually step up your game.

This is still weak.

Wen-- [ Kanda pls it was the first! thing! Chris warned you about in April. He's humming softly as the groaning behijd him gets louder, too loud.

Excuse him while he's chopping this zombie up. Brb. ]

I think I've seen them, but I actually haven't at the same time.

[He's wincing at the sound of all that zombie action, but at least Kanda sounds like he handled the zombie(s?) alright.]

What do you mean?

[ Hell yeah he did. Slice and dice, broski. Need him to help with it? He's obviously got no fear of them. He's seen worse, unfortunately. ]

I don't know. I think I dreamed about them? I never seen them in the caves.

Oh. Yeah, that'd make sense; I guess um... A lot of people probably dream about them.

[He definitely does.]

But you wouldn't see them in the caves, since I think they're all just spirits right now.

If you say so. [ Which makes no sense to him at all. Guess who doesn't realize that it was just a dreamscape... ]

How the hell would that happen? Weren't they just monsters?

[Dreamscapes were the first thing Chris thought, considering he'd ended up in Emily's wendigo dream and a few people had ended up in his. Wendigo dreams suck.]

No, there's uh, spirits first I think? And then they possess people and turn them into monsters, but if you kill the monster the spirit's still fine.

[ You're going to have to excuse the long pause. What Chris described just almost literally sounded like Akuma to him. God, that's just kind of creepy. ]

Almost sounds like what I'm used to. Almost. [ Because saving spirits - souls - whatever, was always the least of his worries. ]

[That's an interesting response, and Chris is curious but also hesitant to ask. Still--]

What do you mean?

[ Man you're going to regret asking. ]

My world has Akuma. The distraught summon the Millennium Earl, who goads the mourning into calling the dead back. Then the dead lose their soul, kill the living, take over their body, and serve the Earl. They blend in easily, even flawlessly until we Exorcists come along.

[He does indeed regret it a little, but he's also pretty curious about that.]

That uh... Sounds super not great.

Wendigos totally don't blend in with people, though. Except they can uh, mimic voices.

It's not. There's no saving those souls.

Mimicking anything can screw with you if you aren't prepared for it.

[He's quiet a moment.]

There's um... There's no saving someone who's turning into a wendigo either.

Yeah. And I mean, the jabberjays here like to mimic wendigos too, so it's like insult to injury.

[Mimic-ception.]

[ wait. What. ] Jabber...jay-- What?

Those super annoying birds that hang out in the city.

Oh, those. [ Why couldn't you just say birds :C ]
