>>5929029You know what? You’ve got an idea. You start to make your way towards the inferno hole and keep your senses on this Mothman guy. Okay, you do have a solid feel on ‘em. You… think this might be a sentient, maybe totally sapient being, if not exactly a typical one. Which means you might be able to communicate with it! …Maybe? Well here goes nothing.
Focusing your mind, you do your best to send a telepathic message to the creature, first making one thing clear: ‘We mean you no harm.’
Stopping in midair, and getting Buu to stop with you, you notice the Ki of the thing rise. You let your own energy rise a bit so it’s more noticeable, but not threatening. And… you hear squeaking noises in your mind. What? Wait… okay, you can sorta focus more on them. It’s getting ideas across, if not quite with full words. It… doesn’t quite seem to trust you on that. It does also seem distracted. You can roughly translate some of that from pure idea into words… though what you’re getting is mostly ‘LAMP’ and ‘SPICY LAMP’ and ‘SPICY LAMP HURT’ over and over.
…Okay trying something new here. ‘It hurts because it’s not a good… lamp. We’re here to keep lamp from hurting others. But we need to be able to shut it off. Can… you help with that?’
There’s slightly less squeaking in your mind, and more some bizarre noises, but they’re still getting ideas across. Mostly a sense of caution, but a partial willingness to see if you’re being truthful. You then sense the thing move at fairly high speeds, though not really trying to run away. It’s more like it’s trying to lead you somewhere? Okay, this is good.
“Come on Buu, we might have a lead on this.” you tell the little Majin, speeding after this thing.
When you catch up to it, you end up at a… mine shaft? Interesting, but you guess it makes sense. Looking around, you catch glimpse of two red lights further down the abandoned mine’s entrance… which you can guess, based on what you sense, are the creature’s eyes. It sends a message to you more directly, and you receive it as ‘SPICY AIR STRONG IN CAVE.’
Aha, that makes sense.
>A. Thank you, Mr. Mothman. We can start from here. Call everyone over>B. Let Lapis and co. find where they think is best for MOGUERA, you and Buu can investigate here>C. Do you… have a name, Mr. Mothman? Or something we can call you, at least?>D. Something else?
