Yeah, got my all of my deer powers back. How did you not get yours back? I wonder who you offended.

[Oh, it's this guy again.]

Hah! What did you gain back? The ability to chew bark and trot around a field?

No, all of those things sound pretty uncultured. Sorry to hear about your deer at home, though. What sad lives they must live if that's all they do.

No, we have great hearing and environmental awareness.

They seem content enough with their life. They're certainly not as mouthy as the deer here.

And those hardly qualify as a power. Every animal has that ability.

That's only because they don't know they could have it better. I'm not some sort of wild animal, so none of those things appeal to me.

You'd be surprised to know that it isn't always the case. Some animals are pretty stupid.

[He resists the urge to make A Comment when this deer talks about stupid animals. Since this guy is pretty smart for a deer. He can, you know, talk. That's good.]

So not all animals in your world are like you?

Like me in what way? Walking, talking, literate?

Or like me as in deer?

Not all deer, most walk and talk.

Presumably, not all humans have the same skills, talents, and things that come naturally. It's the same for us.

[This animal centric world is bizarre to think about-like a zoo full of intelligent animals, but-

Well, everyone comes from vastly different places. It stands to reason 'Animal Planet' is more than just a channel.]

This must be odd for you to be in a world full of humans then.

It's totally normal.

[ Without even skipping a beat, he's making it weirder. ]

It's also totally normal for people to train four legged horses and ride on their backs. Especially when you've met horses personally.

Not that I think this place is anything resembling normal for you guys, either.

No, not yet. To be honest, I'm not sure how I would even begin to do that.

[Oh, it's that kid again.]

Neither do I, but there has to be a way to bring them back-through our familiars or otherwise. Someone must know the answer.

Probably the power that brought us here, what it was. [He paused for a moment, considering...] Perhaps we were given these powers because what we had before wasn't compatible with this world.

Back home, I was... given my powers so that I could complete the Focus, er, my mission. It might be something similar.

[This kid's hot take does make sense, even if it's, you know, bullshit. His power was based around breathing! This world is ridiculous.]

Is that so? And what happened to those new powers after you completed your mission?

[Look, he didn't get it either. He got his power through a tattoo on his arm, okay?]

I'll let you know when I find out.

You're still working on it? It must be a trial for you then.

[Not all goals take a day to complete-he gets it.]

I would assume succeeding in our mission will result in our return to our home worlds and, by extension, return of any lost abilities.

[ Riou never had any technically supernatural abilities, so he's not sure, but he's always sure that completing the mission is how you satisfy yourself. Surely, that would work. ]

[It's a logical answer, even if it's one he doesn't like.]

They would have benefited by finding a way for us to keep our natural talents instead of having us mess around with this nonsense.

[There's a neigh in the background-don't sass him unicorn. Learn some hamon and then they'll talk.]

We could have met our goals far faster.

I cannot speak to that.

[ He didn't lose anything, after all, but he appreciates that the playing field is leveled despite that in some ways. He can imagine losing some of your skills is annoying though. He was very upset when he was no longer allowed to snipe people. ]

[He's never had a power before now by the sound of it. Not uncommon in the least, but he imagines the sensation of gaining an ability of being so wholly normal is odd in itself.]

What power were you given here?

I can speak to animals. As a hunter, it's not ideal.

[ He's learning the names of his dinner now, it's uncomfortable. Not insurmountable, though. ]

You have to look out for your own wellbeing before an animal, but-

[That's rough buddy.]

That would be difficult to maneuver around.

Yes. I have no intention of becoming a vegetarian. I will need to adjust my strategies. [ Regardless, he'll turn the conversation back around. ] What is yours?

Light magic and whatever that entails. It's a far different power than I'm used to.

That has the potential to be very useful. [ Even without knowing much, lights can have a number of applications in military maneuvers. He would've liked that. ]

So far I'm not impressed, but you may be right. I intend to figure out how to make more powerful.

Please notify me if you find any particular applications. It will be useful to keep track of this.

I will. The same to you-contact me if you find a way to use this ability efficiently.

[Misumi hums softly to himself like he's trying to figure out what to say before he responds.]

I don't think I lost any of my abilities! Instead I just got this cool power to make light triangles!

[That's not all it can do, but okay Misumi.

He blinks curiously at the camera.]

Did you stop being able to do stuff you could?? That's pretty awful!

Light magic?

[Because if so, he'd be interested to see how this guy is managing to handle it. Caesar can bend the light in a similar way for an extremely short period of time.]

Yes, I trained for years in the art of hamon. Now it's gone in the blink of an eye, hidden behind this ability instead. I can't bring it out at all.

Yeah! I think so!

[Misumi gets just like... a little too close to the camera now, obviously getting excited.]

What's a hamon? Is it like the magic here or really different?? Can you make triangles with it???

[Only the important questions, of course.]

[This guy's pretty excitable and the combination of him getting worked up over hamon, a topic Caesar likes, and triangles, a topic he has no opinion over, well-

He's happy to jab about the former, at least.]

It's different in practice, but the outcome is similar. Hamon requires discipline over your own breathing to bring out energy inside you. The magic here lacks that trait.

[A beat, and-]

But a practiced user could put that energy into triangle shaped objects. It's a power its users to customize to their advantage.

[Misumi is immediately fascinated. He sucks in a breath and then blows it out, like he's trying to figure out what this "disciplined breathing" is.]

How do you breathe? Isn't breathing just breathing? Ahhh, but it sounds like a really cool magic! I have lots of energy, so I bet I could do pretty good!

[No, not that kind of energy, but he's delighted and happy to listen to Caesar talk about it more at least.]

[You know what? He could talk hamon all day long. This energetic enigma is a welcome change of pace and he holds back a scoff when he blows out that bit of air.]

No, it goes deeper than that. We had to wear masks that regulated our air intake for the first months of training. It requires that level of precision.

[This kid? Would have some problems, judging by the way he's talking. That itself is a trial in those masks.]

The amount of energy you have doesn't matter if you aren't able to control it.

[It's easy to see that Misumi is just captivated by this information.]

Whooooa... so it takes lots of practice? I bet you're super powerful then if you went through all that!

[Suddenly, he frowns softly.]

But... you said you can't do it here? That really sucks... I would've wanted to see it...

[You know what? He rarely finds people who can appreciate the work that goes into hamon training. Not even the idiots learning from the greatest coaches seem to fully grasp and his already huge ego laps up the genuine sounding words.]

When this world sees fit to give me back that power, I'll show you. They can't keep it hostage forever.

[That gets Misumi grinning again, clapping his hands together in delight.]

Yes! I'm sure they'll give it back to you real soon! You seem like a really cool guy, so you definitely deserve to get it back~

[He's just... really impressed by people who train hard in their craft.]
