Human

## Capabilities

Gespenst tries to get a closer look with his feeble human eyes.

The humans still can't see that high right?

## The Director's Thoughts

Another thing that might become clear is that the Foxes secretly find the human form disgusting and unenviable.

"I am aware of humans, as you outsiders call yourselves, changing partially upon exposure to the song. "But they don't become Foxes, merely acquire Foxish traits." The Director says.

## On Shedding

Constanze shivers as she listens to Gere's story. Especially the thought of Ethelinda shedding her humanity like dead skin.

## On Servants

"I thought it was only going to cost a little of my humanity. But the magic tried to replace my deceased child as well. "It can cost more than you expect."

"The maintenance of the ways for the humans in the Forest is my purpose, via the Crossroads."

## Mimics (Part one)

"I've heard stories of folk-tale mimics." Leuvitte says. "Things that pretend to be objects that eat you when you touch them. "These are not that kind of mimic. They all come in different forms, but what they mimic is human behavior."

"Though not having to shave my soles would be a great bonus." Leuvitte's human mouth whispers.

## Mimics (Part three)

The Bone Charmer smiles, through its many rows of human teeth.

## Mimics (Part four)

"We don't have to adhere to traditional human conceptions of interpersonal relationships if that makes you uncomfortable.

"Family is, after all, a cultural construct designed to ensure survival for primitive hunter gatherer humans.

"But we are beings of magic. We are beyond such unsophisticated traditions."

## On Literature

There seem to be a large potpourri of books. Some of them appear to be fiction, perhaps romance (based on the lurid covers). Not all the participants look like standard humans - Laura refuses to remove any of the latter kinds of books from the shelf.

## On the Uplifted

"We have always been cats. We are of an esteemed lineage." The Bearded Cat replies.
"I understand you have cats of a kind in your realm as well. They are hunters, like us, but far further behind on the path of development.
"The tradition of our people is that our ancestry goes back to the days when humanity built gates between stars - that is how we got settled in our home in the first place."

## On Pets

"Can you whisper through your cat Black Cat?"
"Only in carefully coordinated meows, I'm afraid." The Bearded Cat answers Silvius.
"The compatible biostructure for Legacy-supported human-comprehensible speech just isn't there in these primitive-type variants of the species."

## On the ancient past

"The music is created at the direction of the original ringmaster." The Monocled Fox adds.
"It is safe. It is a traditional ancient circus song from the times before humanity ascended, and before they fell once more."
"The Ringmaster claims to have learned histories of an ancient time when the elves were not yet.
"Before humanity was reduced to splinters of a great dimensional empire. "When the shadow lore it learned was prevalent, rather than passed down through a tiny village of uplifted allies to ancient humanity.

## On Outsiders

Humanity is just a tiny slice of existence. In more sophisticated times, humanity was once made obsolete by beings who shaved off tiny slices of reality to make playrooms for themselves, or dispose of worthless garbage.

## On the truth

One could even argue that normal humans are not really humans.
