1) don't be dumb. my name isn't a pun on wendigo. i'm not a wendigo. i'm a humanoid from aht. 2) i can probably kill you more efficiently than a wendigo anyway? what the fuck do they even do? 3) i don't care about the other inane bullshit enough to comment. ok, the number list thing is boring as fuck. moving on. the kids talked about grabbing souls and them being knocked out of alignment last time. i'm allowed to pick one damn thing to clarify here within a bullshit rulebook, so let's clear up this: it's not like anyone is picking and choosing which to grab. one soul looks pretty much like another, you know? i've been waiting a pretty long time to see if any will be from my homeworld. none of you are. not like they're trying to grab anyone in particular. but if you were wondering about "why" it's "because you were fucking there". think of it like a band of traveling hoarders. they see remnants of a world in a mess of shards and pick them up before the shards disappear. i was a shard, but i still had my body. i also happened to not be on aht when it met its end. they don't stay put. pieces and bits of whatever. they travel, and some of them are already here, because you are. so i stick around because maybe eventually someone they pull out of the dark might be someone i knew. but yeah, no one gives a single fuck about worth. that's the mystical how do you choose me or this other person i remember who deserves it more answer: you happened to be there, and they weren't. or they haven't been yet. you're welcome. Wendy Guo Security/Archivist Retrspec Incorporated Hi! Just so you know, we've re-stabilized green! Although I see some alerts on my screen so that's not great, something else got knocked out? I have to go figure out what. But as a tip, unreality functions on a lot of loopholes. Try carrying some words around or thinking outside of the box if you get into a pinch, okay?

Oh! I just read up on Wendigos! They were highly associated with cannibalism in certain cultures and said to turn into monsters if they ate human flesh.

Cool, right? (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ I'm still looking for a good picture of one.




... Um, I mean, not to say the other parts aren't important, of course. She seems a bit upset...

[dandyofawolf]

I'm not quite sure how that is "cool" but it's certainly interesting?

[imaginex]

Hehe, I admit, I've always been interested in the supernatural.

And I'm not as familiar with American myths so I've been studying!

[thesettingsun]

Being called a flesh-eating monster is kind of harsh.

[imaginex]

Oh no, I didn't mean to call her that!

I just wanted to explain what the creature was... ( ; ω ; )

[destiny_key]

thats creepy :(
and kind of terrifying a bit

[imaginex]

Yes, I suppose it is a little bit...

Wendigos aren't meant to be nice, they're quite malevolent and built on the fear of eating other people.

[covenantal]

You're a fan of ghost stories and myths, Sakura-san?

[imaginex]

Yes!! <(￣︶￣)> I've loved this kind of topic ever since I've been a little girl.

But I'm not as familiar with Western myths. I only just read up on Wendigos last week.

[coinflipped]

Your interests worry me at times, Sakura.

[imaginex]

if it helps, I wouldn't actually want to meet a Wendigo.

[GURL WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MEETING ONE]

[scythegun]

Her name does sound like "wendigo" doesn't it? I can't blame the others for pointing it out! Do let us know if you find a good picture of one!

[imaginex]

I think it's kind of cute but I admit I'm probably the only one who thinks that...

And I'd link some I just found but my little cousin is on this site now.

But they come in such a variety of styles! One of them has horns like a stag, it's almost beautiful.

[sTOP HER]

[sunnymerc]

you just read up on them

[because that's a thing people just...casually read about...]

[imaginex]

Yes, and the chupacabra!

That one's more cute, though.

[Save Sakura from herself]

[elevelvetor]

what a fun fact!
well, perhaps more factual than fun...
even if it is fictional
there are many depictions of them, aren't there?

[imaginex]

Many depictions, yes! Interpretations vary all over, and no one seems to agree on what a Wendigo actually looks like.

Some associate them closely with vampires, for instance, but others have horns growing from their heads. It's fascinating.

[aintjustaweapon]

So you thinkin' the ladies some kinda cannibal?

[imaginex]

Oh no, she's probably human?

I admit I don't know as I've never met her.

I'm only know the creature everyone keeps referring to her as.

[evidentiary]

Didn't they resemble deer in certain stories?

[imaginex]

Yes!!

Many depictions have large antlers on their heads, though I don't know why yet.

[amodelidol]

That's pretty interesting. Have you tried looking up the pics online?

You have to sift through some things, but there should be some there.

Yeah she sounds upset. I wondered what happened.

[imaginex]

Yes, I'm looking now! To be honest, many of them don't even look like the same creature. That's how varying the stories are.

But yes... it seems she's unhappy she hasn't found anyone from her world here? She must feel very alone.

[alienated]

Uh, sure. "Cool." Maybe we shouldn't give the lady any ideas for how to kill us more efficiently than a wendigo.

[gudaguda]

I'm copy and pasting this somewhere for future reference o7 thank you Matou-san
