[ the voice speaks up abruptly, no greeting, no introduction. vincent isn't the most social of people. ]

The limiters from the tournament.. could they be altered for a particular use? If it's possible, I'd like to speak to people with that capability.

[ a pause, and belatedly: ] My name is Vincent Valentine. Thank you for any information.

[Right now: one girl totally oblivious to his le edge. Especially since she has no idea what he looks like, just how he sounds.]

Oh? You are also Sanguis? I am, so I can tell you what I have experienced. How would you like for me to start?

[protomateria]

[ oh. that was convenient. ] .. I am. It was.. [ he trails off uncertainly, feeling his skin crawl with the shaky memory. ] Mm. [ he tries again. ] There's no way to stop the change?

[hoasen]

[She shakes her head, but oof. Now to put that in words.] Unfortunately not. The changes are all different. Some months, I may have legs. The others, I would have a fishtail. As for emotional changes...

[protomateria]

[ dread fills his chest like lead. suddenly, he's exhausted. ]

Are they always.. strong? [ the urges, the instincts. he already struggles with similar instincts enough. ]

[hoasen]

[She hums, since she remembers some days where it felt like nothing. But she could tell by how little he described this, it's not good.]

Randomly. Sometimes, yes. Other times, I do not feel it. It's...moody, is how I would describe it. I am guessing it was strong for you.

[protomateria]

Perhaps. .. It was a lot to deal with at once. [ particularly for a man whose bodily autonomy is already stolen from him often enough. ]

[hoasen]

I understand. [Obviously not the part where he would change more often than they do.] It was shocking for me as well, and I was flopping around in the middle of the street. What creature did the moon make you?

[protomateria]

That is.. disturbing. [ that's an understatement. it had probably been terribly frightening as well.

he hesitates at the question, bile at the back of his throat. ] I'm uncertain. I was.. cold. [ like a corpse.

he struggles to remember through the haze of those memories, dragging up bits and pieces he can recall. ] My teeth felt too long, too sharp for my mouth. [ like the moments before his face splits and his skull elongates into galian beast's snout. ]

[hoasen]

It...yes. I got a bit more used to it, now I navigate areas that have pools. Stay by the beach. [It was scary at first, and she had to roll herself but was afraid of hurting her scales.

Still...]

Cold...sharp teeth...

[She thinks about this.] During the Sanguis moon, there are two other creatures other than the fish. A wolf or a snake.
