I have made my warning to a handful of you before, but there are many that I've yet to meet. And so, this is primarily to those who do not know me.

I am something to be wary of. 'Tis not meant as a threat, but a matter of what I am. Call it what you shall, be it a curse or condition, but the brand on my head is not for display only. Many would call me an abomination where I am from, and it is not far from the truth.

I fight back the instincts of a demon inside of me. I hold it back by whatever means I am able, with my will and the bonds I take with me. With years of practice, I am typically able to hold it back, but there can never be a promise of my willpower. If there comes a time in which this beast emerges and I transform, I do not expect mercy on my behalf.

I understand that there are some with a similar situation as myself, or that you have experienced enough horrors to be prepared for it. Making demands of a person is impossible, I know that, but I want to be clear that I am a thing to be careful with.

...Thank you for listening. Be well, friends and strangers alike.

It does already.

[danserai]

If I find more, I'll send them your way.

[enblightened]

Thank you.

Perhaps you see no reason for it, but might there be something I may do in return?

[danserai]

Uhm, I can't think of anything right now . . .

But if you have any ideas, I'm happy to hear them!

[enblightened]

I fear there are very few useful skills I've left, but I will consider what few options I have.

Tell me what you enjoy, if I may request such a thing.

[danserai]

Well, I like dancing? I'm a ballet student, even if I'm not very good at it.

Maybe you could find a nice place to practice? I don't want to lose my progress even if Mr. Cat isn't here to yell at me and drop me to the probationary class . . .

I've no doubt that there are other performers that would like a space dedicated to their craft.

Though I can hardly promise it, I will let you know if I find someplace ideal.

[danserai]

I don't know if there are any others and there's no pressure! I can probably just find a nice room and that should be fine too . . .

[enblightened]

Never underestimate what other artists there are.

I will tell you if I see something.

[danserai]

Thank you.
