"Your fear of haircuts-- is there a story behind it?"

"All the fighting and, and the glory that came with the lifestyle that I led-- it starts to lose its shine rather quickly. My mind and body grew far too weary from it all; too many near death experiences."

I can't help but wonder why the shift from childhood to adulthood brought on a personality shift as well. Was there anything in particular that prompted the change?

To my chagrin, my accomplishments as a strategist have been far and few between. I can't say I'm to blame, however. Fifer is quite the... peculiar leader, and while I don't intend to criticize her character here and now, her rashness and her refusal to consult me unless we're already in hot water has made my job difficult. I mostly see to the fact that our location is kept secret from those who intend to find us. Or I did until Fifer was... "taken by surprise," if you will. Emphasis on the "taken." Hah. But I digress.

So what sorts of accomplishments have you done as a strategist? Any stories to tell?

"What I've done? Well hoo boyo cuz I've only managed to make fings all mess-like down here. Tried my darndest to make fings like tools and like for my clanmates but none of em really worked, sos now I gots a bit of a bad name! I carved a real dinger of a handdrill but it only worked when I was uh one to use it, and dont even get me STARTED on uh Woolynacker incident... Hah! But what I plan to do? Well word's come down here all fast-like bout some heroes up in uh surfacelands and if fere's somefin I'm good at it's fighting-much and I hear efruhn's real small-like up fere too, sos I'm abouts gonna leave fis place and fis girl's gonna do some adventurin!"

It must be a lot of work to keep your hair dyed that color. What made you do it? Why those colors specifically?

"Well... umm... it's not all THAT bad at times, really. It, like, makes you feel pretty good about yourself helping a lost soul get to heaven, right? It's just, there's things I'd rather be doing, and reaping the souls of sinners just, makes me feel really bad most of the time. Some sinners beg to be spared, and insist that they'll try to be better people. Sometimes I can't help it, and I let them escape. I haven't been caught yet, but if I do, I could be punished harshly... I could be stripped of my wings and banished from Heaven, doomed to live a life as a mortal, albeit an unaging one. Honestly, though, that doesn't sound so bad. Earth is pretty nice, and I'm glad my job lets me stay there."

 @numbskulls Why are you so cautious about humans? Is it because of previous experience or something you've heard about them?

"Yeah, people avoid me, but it's not really a problem. I don't get what my work has to do with that though."

Have people ever been known to avoid you because you are a skunk? Okay well, that may be helpful due to your occupations 

"ooo good question! The water's nice and all, but I gotta give it to land, it makes moving much more fun. Sure, it might be easier in the water, but who wants that? Like, water physics can't let you slingshot yourself. Then again, water doesn't let you trip over your lazy tentacle either..."

Do you find it easier to move on land or in water?

"There's many things I miss from my childhood. Things seemed so much simplier, so much brighter, although I can now see how backwards everything was. I'd say I miss my childhood best friend the most. Her name was Juliet and she was so nice, pretty, talented. All of it. She was my first crush, but I never told her."

Do you have any memories from before you were... you know. Made half machine? Or have you been this way for as long as you can remember?

Ha ha. Very funny.

Last summer my ex got a little more violent than usual and I so I called it quits. We were coming to an end anyway. I should have left sooner. But yeah, I said I was leaving, she got mad and put a legit curse on my eyes. At first I thought I went blind and would never see again, but when I opened them everything was okay. Or I thought it was okay. But then things started to happen whenever I looked at something. They'd break or stop working. And the longer I kept my eyes open, the less I felt like myself. It was like... It was like something else was taking over. But when I went back to keeping my eyes closed it went away entirely. Now I can open one eye just a bit and everything's dandy, but not two. Never two.

"I have to ask, why do ya always keep one eye closed? Ya got problems with depth perception of somethin?"

"Well, huh. Nah, nobody 'loses' the emotions I eat or anything, it's more like... ya give it off and I breathe it in, uh, through my skin or whatever. I guess if there was another Foocubus nearby, only one of us could really feed off of it, but it's not like I'm draining anythng. As for taste? Well, it's sorta weird cuz it definitely has a taste but not one you taste with your tongue. Lust is sweet and gooey, pretty tasty and feelgood but I get sick if I have too much. Pride is wholesome and meaty, easy to get satisfied off of, but it never makes me feel overly full. I could probably eat Pride forever. And Pain? Well, that one's a lot harder to describe, but it's like eating spicy pop-rocks laced with caffeine. It energizes ya up and makes you feel all ready and rarin' to go! (Well, caffeine has no effect on me, but I guess it'd make you understand)"

When you feed off of somebody's emotions, do they lose that emotion or what? Also, does it have a taste?

"Ha ha ha, that is a very good joke, actually! As for the question, I guess it may be silly, I was the kid who wanted to be a veterinary when she grew up. It may have been right for me when I was alive, but I wouldn't know. I've always had a hard time letting go of the characters in books or movies that died so tragically, too... So I kept thinking about bringing them back. Of course, those movies were made by living humans, or undeads like us but still more... 'Down to earth' with the fact that necromancy is kind of useless to us as species. All I can do to someone like me is heal, which is useful, but not the point. But little kid me thought that it was ridiculous that those characters died if there's the possibility of necromancy!

Soon enough I found out you can't bring them back, exactly, unless they serve you and lose most of their independent thinking.

Still, life source theory always fascinated me, no matter how unnecessary others saw that fascination, I just kept thinking about how life works, and how to fix it, you know? Even after knowing it's not as fun or easy as I thought. I think a lot of necromancers like the job because it's a way to have power over ones who are absolutely unable to complain, but I genuinely like it because I'm fascinated! I try to be as respectful as I can, my approach is very meticulous and I try to best myself everyday! So that's why I ended up being a magicologist on the side. Now, that title sticks more than necromancer here, and I guess it's fine. Maybe one day they'll link the two and make a specialization! Until then... Oh, right, I got a little carried away... I just like the topic a lot. I guess that's pretty much it, though on top of everything I said, it helps that I thankfully can process magic theory very easily. I'm very thankful everyday for that, I would probably be very unhappy if I couldn't consume all the information I wanted, you know? haha!"

"So like... If I'm a necromancer, and you're an undead necromancer, who's flying the plane?... Pfft, haha, I kid, here's the serious question: What made you want to take on the path of a necromancer?"

"Hah! Is that even a question!? Of course I'm a fight person! I never back down, even if there's a five-percent change that I'll live. But that's fine, y'know. Even my undead servants tell me that's a suicidal thought process but I don't give a shit, because I'd even punch Death in the face. I don't think you don't need to put a lot into a fight kind of mindset; it takes more effort to care than to beat someone up."
