[ooc; no it's perfect! thank you i love this thread so much dfgd]
[the appearance of the notebooks is odd, though he's starting to see fushiguro's powers are just that, odd ones. he moves closer to get a look at the page, the creature upon it, a small frown and furrowed brow as he listens.
a few unsettling things click. he's heard theories about the trials many times before, usually a little more hopeful than this. to strengthen them, to push them towards solving the trench's problems, even random chance. all theories he heard and pondered more like an idle thought experiment than giving any intense focus. at the time he assumed it was all too vague, too pointless to grasp at straws.
now he wonders if he's simply always expected something darker at play, because as fushiguro speaks he finds himself seeing the connections too easily. too readily.]
In April Argonaut offered hope but still the butterflies that created instant beasthood were in his image as well. The Moss King in March was not shy about throwing us into traps, and May with it's transformations-
[a pause and he looks at fushiguro, grim as he finds a far too easy answer to his question about sleeper beasthood.] Sleeper beasts can always be corrupted again and again, whether purified or killed. For Trench natives beasthood is a death sentence.
If spilling blood is their goal then sleepers are a renewable resource in a dwindling supply.
no PLEASE i adore this, viktor finds it very interesting indeed
