Dear community,

As per usual, the virus you provided for last month were fascinating and quite informative. I'd forgotten how long it takes to recover from being dead.

Still, I do wish you'd stop giving me extra mouths to feed. Especially since my children have taken a shine to our newest "pet" and refuse to let me send it home.

So could anyone tell me what this is?



It seems to be content for the moment to remain in its labyrinth and eat my servants, but I'm a bit worried that my universe will warp its nature. Such a benign creature probably won't last long playing with my child-soldiers.

Any suggestions you might have for care and feeding would be much appreciated.

WHAT IS THAT?!

[masked_god]

That is what I would like to know. My memories from the last month are...foggy, but I believe it might be something called a "witch"?

What ever it is, my children are calling it Lot and seem to find it quite cute.

[mightletyouknowme]

It looks like a clown from a bad nightmare!

[makewayforroze]

Child soldiers?

[masked_god]

Yes. And I am aware of the supposed lack of such things in other universes so you needn't badger me about it.

[makewayforroze]

It isn't the lack of such things that's a problem. It's that it still exists in some places.

I think you're fine as long as she doesn't reproduce. More witches running around would get overcomplicated quickly.

[masked_god]

I'm not sure if she's capable of it. But I'll have the children lookout for familiars and allow them to be used for target practice.

[sandinmyboots]

Be on the lookout for witch kisses, too; they cause suicidal behavior and then the witch eats the body. Given you're feeding her, that shouldn't happen too often, but just in case!

Do you think we can decrypt the weird script that keeps showing up around them?

[docfoul]

You intend to keep it, then?

[masked_god]

I don't have much choice. Its not often that my children find a pet that can keep up with them.

[docfoul]

Even in spite of the risks?

[determines]

It looks scary.

[masked_god]

Does it? I thought people generally call things like this "cute"? But I've never been much of a judge.

[determines]

Does it really eat people?

[brutalcartography]

It has a taste for blood, does it not?

[masked_god]

Apparently. But my children seem to think that makes it more of a challenge.

[ That thing almost looks like it could be a witch, huh..? Not that Kyouko saw it before, but.. ]

It's eating your servants?

Re: [ voice ]

[masked_god]

Yes. But they are easy enough to replace. On can always find more corpses.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It looks like something I'd have to fight after one of my friends dealt with some minor obstacle in her life.

[masked_god]

Oh? Then they should be easy enough to find more of, should my children kill this one.

[tenminutes]

It looks like some kind of freakish clown-shaped balloon.

[masked_god]

Indeed. I can only assume it can fly through magic, since its body is certainly not light enough to be supported by its wings.

[sugar_and_spice_witch]

Oh, it's so cute I want one!

[masked_god]

Supposedly it can reproduce. I would be happy to give you any offspring it might have.
