Hello, Recolle.

Let's play a game.

Don't worry -- it's a very fun one, and most of the work is on my part, but I think it'd be a good time sink... and you may even learn a little more about yourself in doing so. You may quit at any point of time and gain rewards from it (those are to be decided, mostly depending on how far you get in your story), though seeing it through to a satisfying end would be the most fruitful for your time.

Now.

Please pick a genre and one of the following colors: Red, Blue, Green.
1. Fantasy
2. Dystopian
3. Romance

Your story's waiting to begin. ♪

The centaur stares a moment longer and you get the sense that he's studying your body language for any hesitation, any cue that you might be lying.

However, since you're being truthful, you have no reason to be anything but calm. He nods, then stands and comes halfway around the grindstone.

He can't move all the way forward on account of the chains rattling behind him, cuffs snug against his ankles, but it doesn't seem to bother him.

"Hestia sent you, huh... Can't be that bad, if you're actually lookin' into the rumors. Everyone else is just shutting their eyes and turning away, just so it doesn't happen to them." He snorts, hoof scuffing at the ground irritably. "You want information? You came to the right guy."

So.

What's your first question?

"how can i get the beasts to stop hunting people? is there a way to get them to stop hurting people who stay out at night?"

[twostringsonebow]

"My advice'd just be to kill them."

He can tell from the look on your face, though, that you wouldn't like that to be your only answer. He shifts on his hooves.

"Let's see... Started happenin' a few months ago, with that new family that moved into town. Bunch of odd folks, but they're pleasant enough. Give to the temples. Tryin' to clean up the streets. But can't say I like 'em much." The centaur's lips pull back unpleasantly. "Their son tried hitchin' a ride on me and I bucked him off. Bet that boy's got a pretty scar on his face from it too.

Anyway, you oughta try talkin' to them. They've got pretty nice clothes, don't know where they live though."

[ nice clothes... nice clothes... maybe they live in the west where the "rich people" live? Daisuke thinks about this for a moment. ]

"do you think that maybe... a ritual went wrong and they started summoning monsters?"

[twostringsonebow]

The centaur shrugs, then straightens and steps back.

"Can't say. We centaur don't do dealings with demons and all the like. Just humans."

For better or worse, maybe. He doesn't seem to know anymore though... or he's not giving it up, if he does.
