[dw is really saying no flea rights this game im in tears
ANYWAY that's exactly how Mahito views things, they are so right! There are a scattered (non-human) few who have risen above the "haha neat toy" level, but even then, his emotional scope doesn't extend far.]
Oooh... [Said as if he understands something now, but who knows what the heck that something is. Then, with a nod:] Mm, yep! That's the way most people feel, but usually a lot more of it.
[BEING WIGGED OUT BY A CURSE IS PUTTING IT SO LIGHTLY.]
[YEAH WHAT THE HECKIE he is an innocent flea... just a lil guy......
He seems more amused than concerned, though.]
Yeah, that's fair. [Which he says in a very genuine way?? god i hate mahito] I'm pretty used to people keeping an eye on me. A lot more, usually! But, hey - does that mean you're not human, either?
[Honestly, this entire situation is very new and strange to him?? He's a malicious creature by nature, but most of the inherent venom in him is innately directed toward humankind, just because of what he is. Non-humans are also proving themselves to be surprisingly human-like in a lot of cases here, but it's funky as hell to interact with things without feeling the kneejerk gross in his soul.]
Even with a group of weirdos like this? [He is including himself in there it's fine. But he'll nod anyway, since hilariously, he is a great person to tell secrets to since 99% of the time he does not care enough to blab.]
[looks at the camera like i'm on the office for the second time today
Anyway, he seems to just take this at face value. Clapping his hands together!]
Oh, wow! Hah, it's kind of funny. We have living urban legends where I'm from, but they're all still curses in the end. We don't actually have things like vampires or elves. It's pretty fun being able to meet so many different types, here!
Mmhm! There are probably some curses out there based on the idea of vampires or elves, though. [They are probably just as horrific as every other curse, god bless.
He also gives a thumbs up to that.]
Kinda! All negative emotions are a powerful source of energy, whether it's hate, fear, grief... There are lots of others, but those are the biggest ones, usually. I don't really think we're personifications, either.
[IM NEVER GOING TO CALM DOWN AGAIN IM JUST GOING TO BE HAUNTED BY (anna voice as danny phantom) IM GONNA FIRT]
Mm, a reflection! [A nod! Yeah!! He'll get back to that first part in a second, but for now, he's holding both hands up and spacing them an equal distance apart.] A reflection of humans. We're the way we are because they're the way they are, and we wouldn't exist without them, but humans can't live without the emotions that give birth to us either.
[CLOSES MY EYES FOR THE THIRD FUCKING TIME I HATE IT HERE
Anyway, as always, he seems entirely unbothered by this. After a second of consideration:]
Mmm... Theoretically! But it'd be weird. A human - humans as I know them - naturally produce cursed energy. Human emotion and cursed energy are like this! [Clasping his hands together and lacing his fingers!] To get rid of one, you'd have to get rid of the other. And wherever cursed energy gathers, there we are!

Yeah? It isn't? [He says this with seemingly genuine curiosity, folding his hands behind his back.] What would you say it is, then?
no subject
Seems kind of more to me like you're, uh, playing with them. Like toys. It's not a real sort of thing. Wigs me out a bit.

no subject
I don't, uh. I can't get on people for seeing things differently because they're not human. That'd be hypocritical.
I'm keeping an eye on you. That's all. [very foreboding, wrath.]
no subject
He seems more amused than concerned, though.]
Yeah, that's fair. [Which he says in a very genuine way?? god i hate mahito] I'm pretty used to people keeping an eye on me. A lot more, usually! But, hey - does that mean you're not human, either?

no subject
they shrug slightly.] Technically, no. I'm not.
no subject
Technically? There are a lot of you that are or aren't human by technicality... Can I ask what you are?
no subject
You can, but if you tell anybody I'll lose my mind. Got it?
no subject
But sure, I got it.

Like vampires or elves. [they seem amused.] So - what, curses are just like, the personification of hate, right?
no subject
Mmhm! There are probably some curses out there based on the idea of vampires or elves, though. [They are probably just as horrific as every other curse, god bless.
He also gives a thumbs up to that.]
Kinda! All negative emotions are a powerful source of energy, whether it's hate, fear, grief... There are lots of others, but those are the biggest ones, usually. I don't really think we're personifications, either.
no subject
... Sounds familiar. [they say wryly.] What would you say you are, then?
no subject
Yeah? You have anything like that? [Haha! Funny. But then, holding a finger up:] A reflection!
no subject
Sort of. [...] A reflection? Explain.
no subject
Mm, a reflection! [A nod! Yeah!! He'll get back to that first part in a second, but for now, he's holding both hands up and spacing them an equal distance apart.] A reflection of humans. We're the way we are because they're the way they are, and we wouldn't exist without them, but humans can't live without the emotions that give birth to us either.

But humans can exist without you, though.

no subject
That sounds like how it is here. We gather all of you in one spot and you all just spout cursed things in stereo.
no subject
Anyway he just laughs and seems truly and deeply amused by this. He enjoys the collective cursed energy very much.]
Right? It's so funny! That was the one good part about being stuck in that room for so long.
[POST-MORTEM ROASTS... and also Eleanor just deciding the robot fucks.]
no subject
The one good thing about a murder trial, sure. [they tilt their head back.] What's your plan, Mahito? For the rest of your stay.
no subject
[Most of them probably had a bad time for like, better and more human reasons, but hey! Same diff, right...
Good question, though. Plan? A plan?? As if he thinks farther than like 1 minute ahead at a time!!]
Uh... What, like - in general?
no subject
no subject
Planning's more Getou's thing than mine. I'm just here to have fun and make sure Gojou Satoru doesn't get his wish. [BINCH.]
