[ but. like. it's already just a head that got stabbed and has been (carefully) skewered for easy transportation. He looks at it and it's still like... Hissing. ]
But I'm curious to see if maybe there are any signs of it being enchanted inside. Or cursed.
... They were thinking to make something out of this? A jam. A soup.
[ Why. He looks at it struggle more since the light is back. It's kind of beaten up since Akira was punching it, but they can see some more of it in the light. ]
I'm not sure how I feel about letting them grind it to paste, as they've mentioned... knowing it may be human.
... but, cruel as it seems, pulverizing it and preventing it from reforming may be the only way to give it a respite. I really don't know what else we could do with it.

[And with that warning, he does!
The room is silent, except for the hissing of the creature... which grows softer and less frantic as time passes in the darkness.]

It mirrors deep sea creatures, sensitive to light.

[Kim produces his flashlight, gives it a few cranks, and turns it on. The disembodied creature reacts immediately, hissing and squirming.]
It mirrors something all right...
[Okay, test complete. He turns the room lights back on.]

[He's also just looking at it now. In the light.]
Pale, bluish skin...
As if touched by the chill of the ocean.

Some of them looked more.. crabbier. Fishier. Scales and chitin, spines, barnacles, gills. Different sea creatures.

[ He doesn't feel the need to open the head up. wowee. ]
I wouldn't be surprised if they used to be inhabitants of this city.

[ He will be gone and return with a pot and a lid, just putting it in there where it can be quiet and enjoy the dark.
Shhhhhh. ]

This doesn't look ideal.
[And he follows it with a defeated sigh.]
... But I suppose it will do.
no subject
[ Because he doesn't want to go far and I don't... Think the message bottles people were talking about would fit the head? ]
It is very tempting to return it.
[ BECAUSE I WENT TO LOOK BACK AND THE THREAD IS ARGUING ABOUT COOKING. ]
