what rituals now??
what r those

[ Seems like he's changing the topic. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ You're safe(?) for now, Eli. ]

I guess you could call them magic? Ms. Velvet told me before that some sorcerers perform occult rituals when the moon is high in the sky so that the effects are more powerful or successful, such as ones that involve changing the form of someone or something. Or finding and tracking down a target.

[fullmoonmutt]

changing form
the fuck
why would they need to do that
like ever

[ Well, almost safe. It gives him a scare that she'd connect the full moon to changing forms, even in this roundabout way. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Whoops. Good thing she hasn't mentioned the moon-blessed shapeshifters, huh. ]

I am not sure. Disguises, maybe? To turn one object into something else? And I suppose some people may want a form they are more comfortable with. From what I understand, this sort of sorcery is not very simple, however.

[ ...She won't get into the more sinister potential uses of this that she's vaguely aware of, thinking that it might be in bad taste to mention them here. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ me trying to remember the one time i flipped through an exalted book before slowly backing away o right they got those ]

is that all
u make it sound like it isnt shady or some shit
just making one thing another thing

[cleansewithfire]

Do you want me to mention the less virtuous purposes sorcerers may have for them?

[fullmoonmutt]

of course there would be.....
no
u dont got to but i wondered if they existed

[cleansewithfire]

Then I shall not say them. You already seem to have an idea of what some people would do.

[fullmoonmutt]

yeah
probably
would rather i had no idea at all if im being honest tho

[cleansewithfire]

Do you have magic where you're from too?

[fullmoonmutt]

kind of??
just stuff people have picked up from the demons
they got it and use it so we started using it 2 for some stuff

[cleansewithfire]

[ Huh, that actually kind of tracks with what little she does understand about sorcery back home. At the very least, Velvet had told her about it (and grumbled something or another about how demons were too much work to manage anyway). ]

It seems some things are not that different.

[ And then, with because she's honestly curious (if somewhat morbidly). ]

Dies that include necromancy?

[fullmoonmutt]

probably
considering how many RHs are undead the demons def got necromancy
pretty sure people would get in trouble if they were caught using it tho

[cleansewithfire]

In my experience, that does not always stop people.
What do you mean by "RHs"?

[fullmoonmutt]

no im sure there are some out there
somewhere
an RH is a recovered human
like
humans who got altered up by demons
but were rescued
im one too just not undead

[cleansewithfire]

[ ...Huh. ]

I do not think I would count as one, but I am undead.
And you question about the moon is related?

[fullmoonmutt]

u r????/
huh guess that explains the whole expresions thing
the moon is kind of related yeah

[cleansewithfire]

It may also just be a "me" thing.
If you ever need any help, I will do my best to assist.

[fullmoonmutt]

nah it def has to do with what
atroppied muscles n shit
i think
tho u look way more put together than most undead i know
im asking someone else to help me this time but
thanks
for offering

[ Sorry, everyone else. Eli's just more inclined to trust people who remind him of the folks he knows back home. ]

[cleansewithfire]

I think there is magic that keeps me looking presentable even without my usual abilities.
Or there would have been a lot more screaming much sooner.
You are welcome.
