I have a few questions if anyone has else some time on their hands.

For anyone who has created a blood bond; How have you found the experience? Is it different than what you expected?

Also, if anyone knows the little girl who introduced herself as Chibi Chibi, I'd like to know if she's still here. Or another version of her, if that's what happened.

Platonic. As expected.

[ After all, Chrollo has seen the hand print already. Even if he didn't know what it was then, he will after reading about blood pacts. ]

One third of that was helpful.

Are you going to elaborate or do I need to talk to your fairer half if I want more than a handful of words?

[martyrofduty]

Did my homework. Pain. Pleasure. Nothing more.

Yes. [ At least one. Possibly both. ]

[crossreversed]

I have the time to play twenty questions, but I don't know if I want to.

Platonic bonds seem useful, but none of them are exactly what I would prefer if I was going to use them.

[martyrofduty]

What do you want?

Weird username.

Why the interest in blood bonds? You want one?

[crossreversed]

My friends will recognize it at least.

Maybe someday, but for now I just want to know more about them than what has been written down.

[fogsong]

Those friends here?

My best friend has a bond with her sister. They can feel one another's emotions and even influence each other. I'm told it can be helpful, [ but she's wary of the bonds. you're putting a lot of faith and trust in the other person as well as giving them intimate access to yourself. gives her the heebies. ]

[crossreversed]

They're not here.

I can see uses in all of them, but none of them are quite what I would want even with my closest friends.

Blood magic is flexible, I bet the rules can be bent.]

You saw that girl too?

When?

[ Maybe she can answer some questions about bonds later, sure, but this is the main part of what draws Ange's attention to this message in the first place. She's been worried about the little girl. ]

[crossreversed]

Last month. I was also not quite myself at the time.

[entreats]

That's when I saw her too.

I took her along to my house, since there didn't seem to be any other adults around to take care of her, but she was gone when I went to check up on her in the morning. I haven't seen her since.

[ Hence Ange's worry. A young kid suddenly disappearing like that usually isn't really good news. ]

[crossreversed]

I don't think she needs adult supervision, despite appearances. She was more capable of taking care of herself than I was at the time.

I'm unfamiliar with that child, I'm afraid. I will certainly keep an eye out for her.

As far as blood bonds go, I entered into several romantic ones at once with the same person. For my partner and I it became a deep extension of our already-present connection. There have been no downsides thus far upon completing the ritual, despite everything that happens here.

It's been a relief to be able to have an open line of communication even while apart that won't crumble if something happens to our other means of communication, and sensing each other's moods has become even easier than ever before.

I'm forever grateful for being given the opportunity to showcase ever-present devotion.

[crossreversed]

Do you mind if I asked more questions on the matter? Some of them might be a bit personal, so I understand if you would prefer not to, or not over the network.

And are you willing to allow me to examine the bond mark on one or both of you?

[theomachy]

I don't mind answering questions at all, and if I don't feel comfortable answering one here I'll let you know and message you personally.

I also don't mind you examining my marks, but I would have to ask my partner before offering any kind of assessment of his.

[crossreversed]

Very well. We can arrange to meet at whatever time is convenient for you.

Have you ever found yourself unable to tell when something was your own feeling or sensation or coming through a bond?

[Oh boy... how... how does she handle this? Does she answer it?]

You know Chibi Chibi?

text | un: Quwrof

[crossreversed]

I met her while I was briefly a child as well. I wouldn't say I know her, but I would like to know that she's alright.

Text;

[lightthedarkness]

She'll be alright. We're from the same world. She went home safe and sound.

Text;

[crossreversed]

That's good to hear. I don't know if you're from a time when you could tell me, but does she grow up safe and happy?

[January brought up a lot of bad memories and the other little girl he met didn't have such a pleasant future ahead of her.]

I have only regretted one of the blood bonds I made and that is because it turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. The rest were all the right decision to make at the time.

All of them have been different experiences but I've learned what tends to filter through the bonds and what doesn't. I'd caution against getting a romantic bond with anyone else unless you are SURE you want to know every thought of another person for the rest of your lives.

text | un: Quwrof

[crossreversed]

The knowing every thought thing does seem like a lot to live with even for someone you're very close with.

Could you elaborate more on what filters through and what doesn't?

[survivalthroughhate]

It took some getting used to. It helps I know techniques already for shielding my thoughts so we're not in each other's mental space CONSTANTLY.

[Still, it did have advantages like sending Reaper all the sex acts Maul wanted to do with him that day, and at the most inconvenient times too. Trolls were gonna troll.]

Well, with the familial ones there's an emotional sense of how someone's doing. For the most part I just let it sit there in the background of my mind, but if a strong emotion like anger or grief comes pouring through, I know something is wrong with them. With the platonic bond, I can feel the other person's physical sensations, mainly pain or pleasure. That one I try not to think about too hard unless he's in mortal peril. I did have a hostile bond for a while but let that connection be broken since it was more trouble than it was worth being connected to that whiner.

[crossreversed]

Interesting. Have you ever found yourself overhwelmed by something coming through the connection? I'll admit the idea of the hostile bond intrigues me, that one I almost want to try out, but the difficulty in undoing it seems dangerous.
