Has anyone else developed animal... features... that were unexpected? How do I get rid of them?

no

[privatechat]

I wasn't asking you!

[faeshim]

you weren't not asking me, or you wouldn't ask where i could see it.

[privatechat]

Well, I'm telling you now that I'm not asking you!

[faeshim]

but my answer is still no so what's that got to do with me.

I already have 'animal' features. Why would you want to be rid of them?

[privatechat]

They aren't me.

[song_princess]

I see, I am sorry that I do not know how to be rid of them. Are you suffering from any ill effects besides growing those features?

[This place... Is it turning Beorcs into Laguz?]

[privatechat]

I suppose not really.

[song_princess]

I wonder then if it is mainly for show, if so... There might be a way to be rid of them if you truly not enjoy them.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

You developed animal features?

[privatechat]

Yes. :|

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh wow

What do they look like? Do you know how they got on you?

[privatechat]

They look like ears and a tail and... like fangs, I guess.

I don't really know how they got on me but I can't get them off.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Sounds weird!

Do you feel any impulses to act like the critter whose ears and tail you're being forced to borrow?

Maybe it's someone's idea of a prank.

You don't. Congratulations on becoming a beast.

[privatechat]

There's really no way at all or have you not really tried?

[jc_superstar]

I have heard enough that trying isn't advisable. I've had my very self torn asunder once, I prefer not to revisit that feeling again.

[privatechat]

Mm. So you're just... fine with it?

[jc_superstar]

Compared to the other things that happen around here, a bit of fur and a purr isn't so bad. What do you have?

I had cat ears and a tail for a little while. Apparently, we became half-Yokai when they bonded us to Nippon, so those are the "parts" we're getting.

I don't know if this is how it always works, but mine went away when the person whose bond caused them went home. So maybe breaking your bond with them would do the same thing? There's a way you can do it without it needing to hurt.

[privatechat]

What does it mean if you break the bond with them...

[brilliantdiamond]

Well, you know how when you talk to someone or get to know them, since us refugees are special, it creates a Kizuna bond between us, right? Those bonds are what cause things like growing a tail or sparkling when you're happy. They're side effects.

But sometimes, if you get really angry or upset at someone, it makes the bond break. It sorta feels like... a rubber band snapping against your heart. The same thing happens when someone leaves Nippon suddenly.

But aside from hurting a lot, it doesn't really do anything. And you can remake it right away when you make up.

[As much as he wishes he didn't have so much experience with broken bonds, at least he has knowledge worth sharing.]

[privatechat]

[ There's... really only one person Lennon has any sort of connection to and the idea of breaking anything between them makes his stomach turn a bit. ]

I think... I'm going to be stuck with these.

[brilliantdiamond]

[Ah. Well, there's a few assumptions he can make about that.]

They're not so bad once you get used to them, at least? But that might depend on what kind of Yokai features you ended up with.
