[remember those funny seashells from a few days ago? well, they're still on the beach. except this time, there is a hobo sitting near them, keeping an eye on them, the lake itself, and on anyone who happens to walk by. he is also pecking at his keyboard very, very slowly.]

ADVISORY: shouldn't approach beach. Sezuri-kai present. Not strictly

[nods and points to the shells and writes "monster?"]

[buggereye]

[patiently waiting for more explanation]

[buggereye]

They're only living their lives. It's when their lives intersect with human ones that things like this happen.

[she understands very well, and looks a bit sad about that]

[picks up a shell and looks in at the little bird]

[birdie goes peep]

You seem to understand that sentiment. I'd say it was rare in a human, but ...
