What is it that we find so captivating about the concept of a man shedding his humanity and becoming a beast? Is it merely the appeal of the uncanny, the unfamiliar arising in a familiar setting-the wolf where no wolf should be? I’ve always suspected there’s an element of longing we don’t like to admit to; the desire to shed not only the form but

One needs not change form to shed one's humanity and become a beast. Perhaps that is the curse's appeal - form to accompany character.

[call_me_spooky]

That's certainly true. Though I'm sure a good number of people who aren't generally beastly still found themselves with excess appendages.

Did the forms suit the characters of their wearers, from what you saw?

[fireplacegirl]

I found myself now with additional legs, but with feathers and a beak. Though, I would not call myself beastly in any sense.

I cannot say - My citizenship is still young; I know but a few people in this world, and of those few people, I do not feel as if I know them well enough to judge their character against the beasts they became.

[call_me_spooky]

What type of bird?

That's a fair answer. Fairer than most people would give, I think.

I'm Fox Mulder, by the way... I don't believe we've met before?

If I'm implying that man in some way wants to, aren't I giving them a good name?

I haven't quite worked out the subconscious symbolic logistics of it going the other way, yet.

Giving man a good name? Man does not deserve a good name.

Giving beasts a good name in the eyes of man. I've grasped that you're not so keen on us.

At least dinner wasn't too bad, right?

[cinnagami]

Well, I'm not sure the animals had much to do with anything! Though I guess dog does kind of suit for me.

[call_me_spooky]

How so?

[cinnagami]

Well, just that I'm a dog person? Not that good at taking care of pets, though.

Captain Kuchiki suggested you'd be the one to talk to regarding the possibility of magical involvement in the recent killings.

[Private / orz I won't be this slow all weekend, promise]

[i_themagician]

All of them, or specifically the instance with Mr. and Mrs. Saxon?

[Private]

[call_me_spooky]

The Saxons in particular, as you were the first on the scene... but any insights you have into the others would be welcome, too.

I'm interested in knowing what type of magic we're looking for, here... what we should be looking for.
