So~ How hard is to live alone here?

It seems like I'm just a bother at my current place... and really, no helping that! I have sort of been a thorn in their sides for a while now, huh? I'm just causing headaches left and right. Maybe some independence will sort me out and teach me to be less of a hinderance or something?

[And as a vileblood living with a bunch of darkbloods this month, Oz can't shake his paranoid when at home. He's mixed it up with his own identity issues and made a right mess of himself, actually.]

And completely unrelated~ What exactly makes a day your birthday? What if you aren't born like a human? Or didn't even have access to a calendar? Is there a protocol for those situations?

Really?

[Luca believes him, mostly because it seems like something that was difficult to say and if this guy was making it up he figures that wouldn't be the case.]

How'd you go from being a stuffed animal to being a person?

[It's impossible not to be curious, after all.]

I think it might be a prank. Or something. I definitely think it's the Trench's doing, though. There was a month where vilebloods would feel weird if they ate anything that wasn't poison, so sometimes it does weird stuff to mess with us.

Ahh, yes. I do remember getting tipsy for food~.

[So that was specific to vilebloods, was it? Oz had not enjoyed his month of eating rotted food. This place really is cruel.

His smile remains in place, but now it is an act. Merely a painted expression to hide his internal turmoil over the question. So long as he's being honest, Oz tries to keep that ball moving... Even if it hurts him to elaborate.]

I took someone else's body, apparently! One day his soul went to sleep and mine woke up. Spooky, huh?

[Oz won't elaborate further. Luca doesn't deserve the gritty details of the trauma inflicted on Oz.]

[schoolingfish]

Oh. Yeah.

[Terrifying, actually.]

Do all stuffed animals have souls that can wake up in other people's bodies?
