Hello, everyone. It's Dextera.

I've recently come into the possession of a potion that allows me to speak with animals. It's limited in both quantity and effective time, but with everyone coming in recently, I've noticed that there are a lot of new animals running around the town. If anyone has very strong feelings about learning the emotions of their animal companions, please let me know. I'm willing to use the last of the potion to ask.

Additionally, it seems that the thoughts of the creatures in the forest are as distorted as their bodies. I could understand them, but I couldn't "understand" them. I did learn that the geese are very angry. For those of us who have been investigating the forest, I thought this would be of interest.

Thank you for your time.

Distorted how?

[passio]

Their bodies and minds are influenced, by some desire. It's not always a bad thing. Desires can be good, and are even necessary to sustain life.

It's when those desires take someone over that it becomes a problem, and monsters are created.

[That... sounds ridiculously close to what happens when someone gets a Palace in his world. He doesn't really want to talk about this over the network, but...]

Weird question: did these monsters appear in the real world, or in another world?

[passio]

It depends on what you mean by the "real world," if there is such a thing at all.

The monsters have always been visible to everyone, though. We call them "Meta-Beings."

I see. Thanks for the information.
