They aren't recent, but explaining them would be a bit troublesome.

[ Some may be overly concerned about it... ]

I can show you if you want, but after I examine you.

[ Since he seemed very concerned about that ]

You mentioned you have an idea as to what you'll look like.

[chromatized]

I mean... I should look... normal. I don't tan very easily, I don't have any birthmarks, and no disfiguring scars. Just some minor ones from when I was working.

[ though maybe his idea of minor is different than others... ]

The handprints are the newest things, and those are already healing.

[ and even though she saw them at trial, he'll tug his sleeve up a bit further, to show that yes, they stop pretty much right where his clothes started. ]

[apoisoncary]

I would expect more scars from your line of work.

[ his idea is likely different ]

I will ask Foxglove if there's any salve for burns.

[ burns healing can sometimes be as painful as the initial burn. ]

What do you think you'll turn into if infected?

[chromatized]

Oh! Um. I haven't really thought about that.

[ he's trying Not to think about that, honestly! ]

Have you?

[apoisoncary]

I did consider it, but I'm still not sure what it'll be.

[ Since Yuki's appearance was a curve ball ]

We can talk about something else.

[chromatized]

I don't think any of us will know for sure unless it happens.

[ and then they won't really be appreciating it, will they ]

... No, it's okay. I don't know, maybe something with gears. You?

[apoisoncary]

[ While she herself is assuming something will happen to her given they have little say in the matter, she isn't sure if that's the case for him. Is he someone who needs that bit of light at the end of the tunnel? ]

If there is an end to this, than it may only happen to a few of us.

[ As for the gears... she's looking him over, her gaze lingering on those ears for a moment before moving on over him. She can't imagine it. ]

It would probably be something related to poisons or plants. Maybe a mushroom?

[chromatized]

[ there's a beat of silence before he looks over at her. ]

A mushroom? [ ... ] Do you think you'd have spots?

[apoisoncary]

I wouldn't know. I haven't seen what kind of mushroom comes from a dead body yet.

[ she has seen mushrooms that sprout in a forest near decomposition but... not one growing from a body ]

Do mushrooms usually come spotted in your world?

[chromatized]

They... usually don't, no. But some of the mushroom shaped monsters do?

[ does Maomao want to be a monster ]

Why does it have to be a mushroom from a dead body?

[apoisoncary]

[ using one of her sleeves to wipe off one of her own freckles off. she would rather not become a monster... but she already paints spots on herself. ]

There's a rare medicinal ingredient that is made from a fungus growing from a caterpillar.

[ maomao then does touch her freckles... or rather fake freckles ]

I suppose it's something I'm curious about, but wouldn't try finding myself.

[chromatized]

[ oh, fake huh? Ludger blinks, hand rising up to tap one of the painted on spots. ]

... Well, what about an undead monster? Would that count?

[apoisoncary]

[ fake freckles. fake-cles? it'll start to come off as he taps. ]

They have mushrooms? How common are monsters in your world?
