[The feed begins with a view of young man grinning like an idiot.]

Ah, so if this place gives everyone supernatural abilities, isn't there a question we must be asking ourselves?

How?

I mean, we can't all be biologically suited for that kind of thing already, right? We've probably been modified in some way...!

But what way? That and my beloved Celty are what I sit here daydreaming about....

[A pause.]

So I was thinking...if I examined a few of you....maybe I could find out! Any volunteers?

[loveandevil]

But it's for their own benefit too...!

[madamemoiselle]

[She is quite doubtful of this, and it shows] How?

[loveandevil]

Does that really have to be a question? This pertains to everyone's bodies, you know!

[madamemoiselle]

But what if we weren't human before we came here? Then it doesn't matter at all. We're all different, for all you know.

[loveandevil]

Ah, that's true, but nonhumans also interest me...!

I'm in love with one, you know.

[madamemoiselle]

[...oh. Well, that at least makes her less rude.]

...Really? What are they, if I can ask?

[loveandevil]

A very beautiful Dullahan.

[madamemoiselle]

Dull— [Nope, she gives up on repeating that pretty quickly, but she's quite curious]

What is that? I've never heard of that before.

[loveandevil]

An Irish fairy with no head--well, alright, she has a head, but she usually caries it under her arm and right now? This particular Dullahan can't find it. [He hid it oops.]

[madamemoiselle]

[Diva is imagining something completely different from the reality, but she's fascinated, nonetheless. Her weakness for all things whimsical and fairytale-esque reveals itself.]

Ah... That's kind of sad. But you'll help her find it, right? Since you love her?

[loveandevil]

...To be honest, I don't want her to find her head, but I'll still do it.

[Blatant lie.]

[madamemoiselle]

Why don't you want her to find her head? That seems like something she'd need!

[loveandevil]

If she has it, then she can leave me...

[madamemoiselle]

Oh. So you're just desperate.

[a beat] How pathetic.

[loveandevil]

Ah, no! That thought's really just in the back of my head, because she's not really looking anymore! We've just been living happily together!

[madamemoiselle]

Well, if that's it, then why don't you give it back to her?

[She tilts her head lightly] If she's really not looking anymore and you're living happily, then she won't leave.

[loveandevil]

...I don't have it!

[Nervous laugh.]

Don't you ever have irrational fears?

[madamemoiselle]

Well, of course I do. Doesn't everyone? But that's definitely not love, if she's only with you because you have something that important!

[lmao diva talking about what love is...]

[loveandevil]

I don't have the head! That's not why she's with me! Celty's with me because she wants to be!

[madamemoiselle]

If you say so.

[the kanyest shrugs of kanyeshrugs] Hey, but you still shouldn't examine people. It's kind of weird.

[loveandevil]

I'm a doctor. It's kind of what I do.

[madamemoiselle]

[She can't help but visibly bristle, all the cheer evaporating into instant distrust]

Oh, are you? What kind of doctor, if I can ask?

[loveandevil]

Ah...just a very basic medical doctor.

[What is this hostility...]

[madamemoiselle]

[just a lot of issues, don't take it personally!!]

Ah~ Then I guess a lot of humans think you're useful here, huh?

[There's no explanation of the strange wording, and she immediately jumps to a different subject to avoid talking about it] Couldn't it just be magic, though? I mean there might be anything different with us. Like mine is just singing, so I don't see how anything could change anyways.

[loveandevil]

Yeah. I usually pretty picky about what jobs I take, though.

[Shinra no don't give away that you work illegally for gangsters...]

Well if it's singing, wouldn't it be a change in your vocal chords? In my experience, supernatural or "magic" things are always biologically different in some way.
