[Dark, looming hallways are home to footfalls, precise and quick. A flash of silver and the resounding clink of armor.

There are two warriors, both fairly new by the apparent lack of disfigurements. After a moment, the taller of the two speaks up:]

"Did you hear? Apparently there's this warrior who still has color in her hair."

[look this is a touchy subject with him 8/] What does hair color have to do with her abilities as a warrior?

[asdlfjsdf] I once heard that because I have brown still left in my hair, I'm considered an "incomplete hybrid", but-

That can't be true. I'm just... I don't like to fight.

[turquoice]

I know a lot of warriors who fight because they like to, and I don't know that they're any better at it than the ones who fight because someone has to.

Why do they believe something so ridiculous?

[mudhair]

I don't know, really. Those kinds of things are just what has always been said.

[turquoice]

[Tch. Well it's dumb. That's his two cents] You shouldn't listen to them, then.

So what exactly are you a hybrid of?

[mudhair]

[Vaguely, she wonders if he'll know what she's talking about. Ah, whatever bro.]

I'm... half-human, half-yoma. At least, I think.

[turquoice]

[ That he do. 8) ]

I thought yoma feasted on human flesh.

[mudhair]

[oh lawd]

They, um, do.

[turquoice]

And what that does mean for you?

[mudhair]

Since I'm still part human, I don't do the things yoma do. If I awaken, though, I will. I'll lose my humanity.

That... I don't want that!

[turquoice]

I see. So does 'awakening' mean tapping too deeply into the mind or powers of this monster?

[mudhair]

Erm, well... it's more like letting the monster take over.

[turquoice]

[This all reminds him of those Vizard weirdos a little too much]

I assume it's difficult to keep it from doing so, then?

[mudhair]

I've heard it is. I haven't had much of a problem with it, but apparently it takes something like... extreme rage to trigger the change.

Once it begins, it's nearly impossible to stop.

[turquoice]

How'd this creature become part of you in the first place?

[mudhair]

Things happened. [haha so vague] Then I went to the Organization, and the monster was surgically placed within me.

It's... a really hard thing to explain, but the process of turning into one of us is-

It's horrible.
