Hello, fellow Moonblessed. If you'll oblige me with some of your time, I have a few questions about humans. That species is nonexistent where I hail from, so please forgive my curiosity, and I apologize in advance if any of these are rude.

1. Humans have no shells or carapace, and their clothing seems more decorative than protective. Am I correct in assuming that they use magic to defend themselves?

2. Do humans go through metamorphosis? I don't believe I have seen a human larva or grub here, though I admit I do not know how I would distinguish human young from an adult other than size.

3. Most humans that I have seen have hair primarily on their heads, rather than their whole body like, for example, a spider. Does that not make regulating their temperature more complicated?

That will be all for now. Once again, I thank you for your assistance.

[...Grimm is doing his best.]

kind...of?
its hard to explain
but i cant use it all the time

[ oh ouch ]

[hagrides]

You need not go into detail. I was merely curious.

I believe most cannot use their magic all the time here, as they have a limited supply of Chroma to draw on.

[it was an experience]

[piercedyourheart]

oh i dont mind explaining
its just complicated
but im happy to give it a try if youre interested

yeah oof
used my magic a little bit when we rescued people after the festival
felt like a truck hit me

[ a gold experience eh? eh? ]

[hagrides]

If you are willing, I would find it fascinating.

I have not yet had to use my magic in any great capacity, and I moonlace somewhat regularly, but I am still wary of going overboard with it. It would not do to find my fire suddenly quenched.

alright, this will probably get complicated so bear with me.

in my world, there are a few of us with something called 'the potential'. that means we can summon something called a persona. personas are...well, your psyche? or a part of it? either way, i can summon my persona to fight and defend myself. haven't had to do it in a long time, though.

[ thank you, thank you, i'll be here all week. tip your waiters/waitresses! ]

[hagrides]

That makes perfect sense. What is the complicated part?

[piercedyourheart]

oh. seriously?

i know i was pretty lost when personas got explained to me.... you're definitely quicker on the uptake.

[hagrides]

I've heard of stranger powers than summoning your psyche to do battle. I doubt it is any result of my cleverness and more a consequence of experience.

[as the kids say, he's seen some shit.]

[piercedyourheart]

you know what? fair enough. theres gotta be all kinds of stuff out there since different worlds are real and all.

[hagrides]

You may consider yourself not so strange after all, if that would please you. Or you may not.

[piercedyourheart]

i'll take "not so strange" any day.

do you use any magic of your own?

[hagrides]

I do indeed. Fire magic, with a few extra tools.
