Since this is the widely available method in which to reach the others who have come here, I will make use of it. I understand people are still settling into Märchenstraße in order to fulfill these roles thrust upon us and my friend and I are able to further assist.

Where we've taken residency, there is a library that holds the various faerie tales and myths we've become part of. Should you wish to know the details of your character and the story they are from, we are willing to oblige in answering these questions.

[Message down, Naoto lowers her quill and looks around at the books she currently has stacked. Perfectly content to not visit town for a while again.]

[OOC: Kanji or Naoto will be answering.]

[Father Time was a little confusing in his explanation, so he's been looking for more answers elsewhere. Libraries are always a good place to start. Expect some somewhat messy, all-capitalized text to appear.]

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE ABOUT A RAVEN?

[pishirogane]

Plenty with ravens, but I'll inquire about a Raven being the lead. Give me a moment to see what we can find.

[cancercarcino]

ALRIGHT.
AND WHAT DOES A RAVEN LOOK LIKE?

[pishirogane]

It looks like a large black bird. Their cry is very distinct compared to most in its family. I would draw you a picture, but it would be rough.

[cancercarcino]

SO THEN I'M GUESSING IT'S A HUMAN CREATURE?

[pishirogane]

It is.

Raven is from "How Raven Brought Light to the World".

[cancercarcino]

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT BUT IT SOUNDS PRETTY FUCKING STUPID.

[pishirogane]

The title is a mouthful, but the story goes on speaking about how the world was once without light. Through Raven's wits, he brings sunlight to the world as well as placing the moon and stars. That is the basic summation.

[cancercarcino]

IT'S A STORY ABOUT A CREATURE THAT MAKES THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS?
...THERE'S ACTUALLY A STORY BASED ON THAT?

[No, he's not reminded of how he and his teammates made a whole universe and put their Signs into the stars. Not at all...]

[pishirogane]

Yes. There are a few actually, but that's where your character comes from.

[cancercarcino]

I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS WHY I SUDDENLY LOOK LIKE I'M SOMEHOW HALF BIRD.
AND I GUESS THAT'S FITTING, IN A WAY.
I MEAN WE *DID* PUT THE STARS UP IN YOUR UNIVERSE, BACK BEFORE IT GOT BLOWN UP.
WHAT ELSE DOES THAT STORY SAY ABOUT THAT RAVEN THING?

[pishirogane]

[She doesn't know if he's serious, or full of himself. She's pretty sure the world was still there when she left.]

Well, Raven had to shapeshift in order to get near the chief who held the sun. Can you do that?

[cancercarcino]

SHAPESHIFT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T TRIED.

[pishirogane]

You should see if you can. That was his key ability.

[cancercarcino]

UH...
OK?
I GUESS, I MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW TO

[cancercarcino]

WHAT

[pishirogane]

What happened?

[cancercarcino]

[It's several minutes before you get a response.]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
BUT I THINK I JUST GAVE MYSELF HOOVES FOR A MINUTE THERE

[pishirogane]

That would be it however impartial.

[cancercarcino]

OH I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T *TRY* TO GIVE MYSELF HOOVES!
IT JUST SORT OF HAPPENED!
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED!

[pishirogane]

Must be an unconscious thought. Still, I can't say. This isn't something one can be walked through.

[cancercarcino]

I GUESS NOT.
IT'S STILL WEIRD AS HELL, THOUGH.

[pishirogane]

I'm sure you'll get it.

[cancercarcino]

I'LL HAVE TO.
I DON'T WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY BECOME A MUSCLEBEAST JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT IT TOO HARD.

[pishirogane]

A musclebeast?
