Do you always wear that mask?

[weenwoon]

Most certainly! 'Tis as much part of myself as any other characteristic of mine.

[Can he trick this small child into thinking he can't take the mask off? Time to find out.]

[scension]

Oh, so it's part of your face. Is that common?

[The answer is, absolutely. It's no weirder than snail shells and turkey bodies, especially when Hyth is already the size of a tree and weird by default.]

[weenwoon]

[Imagine not being from Baten Kaitos. Hythlodaeus smiles - "part of your face" is certainly easy enough for someone like him to reword in such a way that it appears metaphorical rather than literal.]

Indeed! In fact, all people in my world have such masks.

[scension]

Huh. I thought Emet-Selch's face looked pretty normal. [...] Maybe not the beard...

[It was a very large beard.]

[weenwoon]

[Sagi should see Ramuh at one point...]

Ah, well... My dear friend's body is not exactly his own, merely an appearance he took on in the mortal world. But I confess, I have not seen him sport a beard yet!

[Let's not talk about how he killed the real Solus for the body.]

[scension]

Technically, I haven't either... But it was, uh... striking.

[Let's not talk about weird corpses leaving their mark on the mortal world, in general.]

I don't know why he had one.

[In other words, he doesn't think it suited him. But neither did the dream blood or tentacle ooze that got stuck to it, to be fair.]

[weenwoon]

Well, I cannot help but be curious where you could have encountered him in such a form!

[Tell him all about your traumatic dreams, young child.]

[scension]

It was just a dream. One of his memories, but I didn't know that at the time. Somehow that keeps happening. He had... some kind of palace, made of black and silver metal, with machina everywhere. And he looked a lot older.

[In his mind, this is a very detailed description.]

[weenwoon]

["It keeps happening" catches his attention. Hythlodaeus can guess what Sagi is referring to, it was something he'd gone through as well... but not repeatedly. He tilts his head questioningly.]

That must have been a memory of his time as Solus zos Galvus. I too have visited one of his memories in a dream, although in mine he was still fairly young. But what do you mean by "keeps happening"?

[scension]

I had a few different dreams that night. Most of them are hazy now... but they must have been the same kind of thing. There was a time when I travelled through my friend's memories pretty often, too.

[the baten kaitos explainer has logged on]

[weenwoon]

You mean to say back in your world? That is quite curious. Such sharing of consciousness is rare in most mortal worlds, is it not?

[scension]

Probably, but I wouldn't know. It was just one of his powers.

[...It turns out that the Baten Kaitos explainer is not terribly inclined to explain the more personal details of Baten Kaitos on his own volition. Try again after the next time Hyth gives a teenager PTSD.]

Besides, it can't be rare everywhere. I got the impression the people here think it's a normal thing to do in the spring.
