Mal sehen, ob ich mich erinnere.... Otacon! I have for you an update on what the shift is for me, during Iris.

[The man ducks his head just a touch, and the base of what appear to be very large, very imposing antlers are visible for a moment. Apparently it would take a bit of effort to actually display the entire rack, just judging by the sheer girth of the base of those antlers. Less visible, but still obviously there? The base of a pair of fluffy, off white colored lop ears.]

I would show you in person, if you like, but I would need eh... A little bit of time to get ready. Leaving the apartment has become... a bit more complicated than usual. I am not clear on the anatomy of antlers, I do not think you can just file them down to fit through doors.

... Ah, with complicated in mind! Gabriel, I have a favor I would like to ask of you! I will pay you back, I have no button up shirts. Would you be able to get one or... three for me? I did not come prepared for this, I fear.

[ It seems that for once, having to deal with horned monsters and beasts of varying types comes to an advantage. Not to mention it's probably something Ignis should know about himself, having a pair of antlers as well, though slimmer than Reinhardt's. ]

Pardon my interruption, however I believe most creatures with horns have them connected to the skull and would prove to be painful to remove. Sawing them down is also ill-advised, as they can also contain blood vessels.

I imagine removing them would be the equivalent of ripping off a nail.

[ Not a pleasant mental image probably. ]

Though both do grow back. I suppose that is the good news.

[hammernhasslehoff]

Do not worry, mein Fruend, I have no intention of cutting them off. I may not know much about antlers, but I know you cannot simply saw them off!

[Yeah that is some uncomfortable mental imagery right there, he's gonna do his best not to dwell on what that might look and feel like.]

That is good news, considering I am not always the most careful man.

Ah, but I have not seen you before, guten Tag! With who am I speaking with?

[tayoru]

[ It provides good combat tactics at least. Get in a fight with a Cordis deer? Just try to snap their horns off, that'll have them incapacitated in no time. Ignis would not know if that would be enough to kill them. Maybe he could research that.

(He's good at morbid information.) ]

A reminder, then. To yourself and those you may meet who do not understand the anatomy of horns.

[ Considering he knows another man who is not very careful, you can never be scolded gently reminded too much. ]

Ignis Scientia. You may call me Ignis. I'm afraid I do not traverse through the city as much as I used to. I cannot see.

I will not forget, I promise! I wouldn't want to waste a single moment here in recovery.

A pleasure, Ignis. My name is Reinhardt Wilhelm.

Ah... I suppose that would explain why I do not recognize your face then... I have not used the network up until now myself, I am sure there are many whom I have not yet met.
