this is IMPORTANT ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

yea u gotta read the whole thing (○´艸｀)

dimitri already coverd the magic rocks
so lets talk about the POWER PLANT

minato-kun, kaito-kun, and i have struck a deal with Li'l Oozie an Friends
theyve agreed to cooperate with any plan US 3 come up with
tget Big Oozie out of the Power Plant

theyve also agreed to B my taste testers so
pls dont fite with them witout provocation
or ELSE ɷ◡ɷ

"taste testers for WHAT nao???????????????"

tldr
im workin on developing a tasty bargining chip 2 negotiate a long term truce with em
yea they were willin to entertin the idea of a long term truce
just not for bloody bread

its gotta B tastier than humans ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌

so yea demohuman cafe maybe

btw they prefer SP or blood str8 if ur lookin 2 negotiate
if u dont know what SP is
its spiritual power, spirital energy, mana, whatevs
and yeah everybodys got it even if u arent Awakened or dont kno how to channel it

if u dont uh

neway the CHIP might come n handy wit other Dmons too

and teh oozies dont mind if the powerplant is up and running
since thats their fave hangout
its bettr if we dont have to fite them every time we gotta go there
espcially when were tryin to get it up and running
they said not as many demons might show up if its bright and they dont think
any Dmns outside town would mind so much 2 attak bc of the light

NOW PAY EXTRA ATTENTION this is IMPORTANT

if at ANY POINT a Dmon has told u ur blood or SP is NASTY
tell me ASAP
an if they happned to say WHY
tell me that too bc thats IMPORTANT

if NEBODY ELSE has spoken to any Demons at the PP
pls share what u found out if u found out sumhin
ESPECIALLY if u talked to Big Oozie

i didnt get a chance to talk to him today bc reasons
im gonna tomorrow but see

my 1st plan is to try and find out what he likes
see if sumbody can contract him bc
1 hes huge so he mite be stronger but more importantly
bc fighting him would damage the PP
and u dont damage the PP

[purport]

I've had success treating hard candies with my blood. Easy to prepare in advance. It's been popular with the pixies Dimitri and I have been talking with. They treat it like a delicacy for some reason.

We have a meeting arranged in a few days with their Queen, so I'd like to add: don't provoke the pixies either.

[ Sorry Nao, she has no idea her blood is extra tasty... ]

2/2

[purport]

You've accomplished a lot. Good work.

[nterwebz]

haha thanks!
it sounds like u guysve been busy 2 ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

[ And maaaybe she can give Dimitri a little less shit about it. Maybe. ]

i wonder why they treat it like a delicacy??
the oozies mentioned that some peoples blood tastes really good
and some peoples blood tastes nasty

would u mind if i took a few of your blood candies wit me tomorrow??
ill trade ya for something if youd like
ofc i wont tell them its urs

blood candy sounds like sumthin out of a videogame haha ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡

[enflowers]

[ Meeting with the queen of the pixies/faeries? The ones lurking near the concert hall? ]

Do you know the Queen's name?

[purport]

[ The hazards of not having a name herself...she absolutely just accepted Queen... ]

They only referred to her as the Queen. But they did mention she was behind making the concert hall their safe haven, and that she favored strength, swords, music, and unsurprisingly blood. Clothing with flowing fabric as well, apparently.

The pixies seem to genuinely respect and trust her leadership.

[hauntedsnowfall]

(ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ Hello Nao! The flock of little Oozes are adorable, are they not?

[ Listen. He thinks they’re so ugly they’re cute. Leave him alone. They acted like little chickadees to him. ]

(๑•́ -•̀) With that said, when Kate and I spoke to them on our first day here they thought we would either need to kill the big Ooze, or we would have to contract it.

The big Ooze has apparently killed a high number of humans and demons to grow so large.

[nterwebz]

theyre pretty cute yeah
its 2 bad we cant pet them without losin a hand lol ( ｡ˇ艸ˇ)

[ How else would they get the designation "Oozie"? ]

i wonder if he killed them there an if he was trying to come or go
from the powerplant and when

thatll make it harder too

if he actually killed them
in theory he mightve been stronger 2 start
and he definitly liked the buffet

[hauntedsnowfall]

[ lmao he still just thinks her way of typing is because she never was taught how to read and write, that's how. He still struggles to completely parse out everything Nao types. ]

Well, the littles Oozes did specifically mention that he has killed a high number of them to grow so strong... but I suppose they could have been lying. You're right to not take them at face value, although deception does not seem to be these one's strong suit.

[hauntedsnowfall]

Oh, Nao. May I speak with you a moment? I’ll be in the graveyard.

[nterwebz]

r u sure u cant just come 2 the fort

[ She is, in fact, tired. Thus, she asks. ]

[hauntedsnowfall]

That would depend. If you are busy or entertaining people I would hate to intrude.

[sootprints]

The small Oozes seem very friendly with me. I haven't offered them blood, but I suppose I was present when others did.

I'm happy with any arrangement that continues this informal truce we have. Let's not forget to be cautious, though. They can be dangerous, even when friendly.

The large Ooze mentioned that it felt like it was missing something, and that it felt unfulfilled no matter how much it ate. During our conversation, it came to wonder if what it was missing was a complete "soul"...

We took our leave when it began to take an interest in ours.

[nterwebz]

who said anything about friendly meaning not dangerous
thats so funny ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡

[ There is nothing ominous about that statement. ]

thats sum rly good stuff tho
good info i mean
big o feels like his missing sumthin vital
so he eats an eats but nevr feels fulfilled

a complete "soul"
hmmm ♪～(￣、￣ )

was he askin about ur soul or getting nibbly??

[sootprints]

The latter, I think.

@shun'ya only | an hour after the initial broadcast probably

[nterwebz]

ur familar with these kindsa Dmons n particular rite?
u kno more than ur tellin us

and i know u said no spoilers but!!

ive got a theory an stuff that im putting to ya

theory; the weird gemstones we woke up wit r soul gems, spirt stones
whatever u wanna call em it sounds real rpg to me
an theyre bound to us, were bound to them
whatever

if somethin happens to ur soul gem
it happens to u
up 2 and includin death if its destroyed
same the other way around probly

no wonder keigo-chan said dont let anything happen to it!!

and and and get THIS:
soul gems r SUPER valuable to dmons
like jack frost-chan
out there tryin to swindle us into payin for a hot dog with our souls
and make us do all the work

what a racket
such a cute an cunning lil guy ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡

neway thisd explain why theres no gems on ne felow travelers corpses
altho the implications r uh
yeah i get why u dont overshare, thats why i made this private 1st

not that its ur responsibility or nething
but i kinda feel like that wouldve been an important heads up tho
common sense aint so common and im sure u know that
and not every1 trusts keigo-chan and ala-chan implictly

altho dimitri sorta covered it late
had to go touchin things

but yeah, magntite, magatsuhi, and a whole soul
talk about a full course meal!!!!

[ She... shouldn't be typing like that. Right, right, right. ]

neway
kate said big oozie n the power plant said he felt somethin was missing
no matter how much he 8 he felt unfulfiled so he was trying to fulfill
what was missing by eating humans
and he wanted 2 fulfill what was missing so much that
he ate so many humans and achieved the size an strength he is now

hes so fat hes stuck in the pp doorway

point is magnetite and magatsuhi aint cuttin it for him and
hes gotten that idea after way 2 many meals

he wondered if what hes missing is a "complete soul'

so blood n flesh probly aint gonna be temptin enough for him to cut a deal
or contract w one of us

hows it sounding so far??? do i get a sticker?

[foxchild]

gold star! ο(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆

but you're correct, little miss. i told dimitri this when asked, but importing a human soul into a physical object is a science that's been refined to an art these days. you have some who can even digitise them! scary stuff (＃°Д°)

but the issue is we don't know how exactly the souls have been staked to the gemstone or what their function is. could be a fun straw for demons to sap our vitality, could be like a voodoo doll style curse that can be used to hurt or control us, or could be turning them into grandma candy for the big bad to munch on whenever they feel like it.

so there's no reason to sweat the details. you guys keep doing what you're doing. you're already finding out a lot ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

[nterwebz]

digitize??
hows that possible?

[ Something like that... ]

[descaledmute]

They want blood? The demons?!

That was a lot of information but very helpful miss Nao!

I would like to help if I can. I feel I haven't done enough to help those of us here so please let me know.

[nterwebz]

hahaha whats this "miss" bizness?? ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡
it's just nao
or nao-chan ig

i havent seen ur name before!!
r u new?? did u just get here??? （ ﾟ Дﾟ)

[descaledmute]

oh!! i'm sorry! I was just told it's polite to address people that way.

nao-chan?? what does the chan thing mean? is that a name-related thing too?

yes. not that long ago. i've been trying to get my bearings and it's been a little difficult to say the least, trying to adjust.

[rimingcouplet]

The number of idiots who have been freely giving their blood to demons is absolutely staggering to me. You do realize that a number of cultures have occult rituals that rely on having the blood of the person they're targeting to work, right? If demons are a reflection of human subconscious, it's not out of bounds for them to pull something similar. It's your business if you want to gamble with your life like that, but there's no way you'll rope me into it.

Anyways, I can help with computers. I'm handy with gadgets, unlike most of the downright medieval people here, and if you need a resumé, just look at all the files I ripped off the hospital computers.

[nterwebz]

OK i will accept ur volunteerin for the computers BUT

i think u need to adjust ur thinkin a little about the whole Dmons thing
insted of rainin judgment don on ppl ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡

im not saying dont B cautious an smart about things

but if #notallhumans applies 2 sumthin
then #notalldemons applies 2
that gos for inteligence, knowledge, cunning, phys stats, sp, abilty
bascally everything

as varied as humans r so r Dmons
u have to be discernin or ull do urself no favors

mabe dont offer ur blood to a dude holdin a jar out to ya
but sumbody with their moth hangi n open??

yeah lol ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡
state ur terms 1st tho

[prodigal_disappointment]

[Ah, the infamous Nao that Sylvain may or may not feel like he owes a life debt for saving Dimitri.]

im willing to help with the demon cafe thing
the pixies really liked my blood
i was able to do magic back home and have special blood so

ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

[nterwebz]

wat a generuos offer!! (人´∀`)
u sure ur up 4 the task?

im honesly surprised no ones objected 2 the idea
supportin it? WAOH (⁀ᗢ⁀)

[prodigal_disappointment]

im 100% up to the challenge ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

people have been wanting me for my blood for pretty much ever now its my turn to decide what to do with it

my guess is that its because were all working on surviving and anything that can help that is worth a shot
