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?!

[makewayforroze]

Child soldiers?

[sandinmyboots]

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

[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.

[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.

[docfoul]

You intend to keep it, then?

[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.

[masked_god]

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

[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?

[masked_god]

Oh. Is that what the nuzzling in the little form is? I do remember something about that in that virus-world, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect on Uran S'Varek. At least, I haven't felt any more suicidal than normal.

Perhaps I should intentionally feed her suicide cases? Hmm.

Ah. Vara has already made a translation program for it. I can send it to you, if you'd like.

[makewayforroze]

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

[sandinmyboots]

No, no, that's not it. She leaves a mark on a person and that causes it. I don't think cuddling her is dangerous unless she tries to bite your face off or something.

Maybe, but I think sticking to zombies right now is safer.

Yes! Did you figure out her name?

[mightletyouknowme]

It looks like a clown from a bad nightmare!

[masked_god]

Indeed. And then the next question is: how many of those children are better off with a gun in their hand than without it?

[masked_god]

Really? She seems to be fitting in rather well in my universe.

[masked_god]

She seems more interested in my children for that. Luckily, they seem to think that a regenerating target is the best possible pet I could have brought home.

True. I wonder if the corpses still retain some of their memories, and that is why she is content with them.

My children call her Lot.

[sandinmyboots]

Alright. And if she does manage to get one on her, we can cleanse that.

Possibly! Being a zombie sounds awful.

Why Lot?

[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.

[masked_god]

Indeed. I doubt my children are the sort to fall to despair, but better safe than sorry.

I suppose so. I don't really mind it.

I'm not sure. When I came to they had already named her.

[brutalcartography]

It has a taste for blood, does it not?

[makewayforroze]

All children are better off away from a place where they would need to use guns.

[mightletyouknowme]

Then your universe is full of evil clowns?

[selfished]

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

It's eating your servants?

[masked_god]

Not as such, no. But I have been told it can be quite strange to people from more...sane universes.
