I.... honestly wasn't looking too hard. If you attack someone, I get to disintegrate you. It's all aces by me. (yawns toothily)

Thessse others are lucky you’re here at full ssstregth, you know.

Eh, don't underestimate them, either, but you're not wrong.

.... I mean, I'm stuck in a room with him with no form of reliable concealment, I got no info on how he operates, aaand he's able to shapeshift at will. I know when I'm at a disadvantage. I ain't playin' those odds.

Sssmart boy.

Sssoooo, you had questionsss?

Ehh, a few here and there. To be completely transparent, I've been thinkin' of looking into some magic, myself. Mainly just the more.. subtle schools, but I'll take what I can get. From what I heard, you can manage it with a bit of study and the right practice. Now, lookin' at you, I'm guessin' yours is more of an inherent ability, rather than a magic one. And, well, I've seen you transform into people here a couple of times. But what about outside of just messing with people, eh? I'm always looking for more inspiration.

I'll be happy to anssswer what I can!

If you want to learn how to, hah, learn the magic, ask the chimerae, ssspecifically the lady one. The other seemsss to rely mostly on his inherited skillsss, but I believe she practicesss.

Now, ssscaring people is fun. So is scamming them out of their hard-earned money, I sssuppose, but have you ever felt the sssatisfaction of watching your victims lose their mindsss as you ssslowly erode their grasp on reality? Attack them while wearing the face of a friend, or their own image. Take advantage of their empathy by impersssonating an innocent victim. Appear. Disappear. Repeat. As far as they know, you are everything and everyone, and a not a single sssoul they meet can ever be trusted, ever again. Then after you take every peace of mind away from them...well, persssonally I like to- *draws a single claw across its throat, cocks its head to the side, and grins*

*sigh* Yeah, I guess on a smaller scale. Knocks one person out. Personally, I've always been a fan of leaving 'em alive, let 'em wallow in their suffering but hey, to each their own. But come on. Ya tellin' me you've never... oh, I dunno, started any battles between noble families? Holds? Hells, even kingdoms? Intercepting missives, denouncing kings, twisting the beliefs of theocracies? I just fail to believe I got more uses thought up than someone born with the talent.

I'm not sure it has quite that much ambition. Also, it might be insane.

Aaaand not originally what it is now.

I'm not an expert on the nasty, but I think its more interested in watching a few victims suffer reeeaaaal up close than any big, long term scheme. If a kingdom collapses, too many people to watch have their lives crushed at once, yunno?

I'd love to cause that sort of disruption myself with my illusions, but where I'm from that just doesn't do.

I am a sssimple, perfectly sssane creature. What else can I sssay? I do enjoy others’ sssuffering up close and persssonal. The collapssse of a kingdom can’t quite accomplish that.

That isn’t to sssay I wouldn’t care to know my shenanigans caused a kingdom to fall apart, but I wouldn’t consssider it my end goal.

Vincent why are you still here?

...Good quessstion. Perhapsss I like being out and about. I haven’t had much to for some weeksss now.

Did you send the goblins to me?

*tis confusion* Goblinsss?

I don’t think ssso.

They are creepy, but maybe i can kill them with my shard

Yeah.... I'm not so sure on that "perfectly sane" bit, Vinny.

“I’m perfectly sane” is something a blood-crazy polymorph would say...

Agreed. Most of them do, actually.

If they do more than gibber.

Ehh, if anything it's comforting to know he doesn't gibber. What I heard, the gibbering ones are the ones that send yer mad. I like being able to function, thanks.
