Mermaid Moon, Sun and Eclipse have a different visible light spectrum so they actually can see your lovely human stripes!!<3
You often would carefully trace their own patterns with your fingertips when any of them allowed you that close. And the sound of purring would always let you know that they don't mind.
But you never could really understand why their caress followed a specific pattern as well. It was interesting, as each of them always followed the same direction, their claws gently gliding over your skin when you weren't wearing your diving costume. You doubted they secretly agreed to mess with you in that way. Plus, their eyes followed some invisible path too... You could see their scleras dilate every time.
Whatever they saw, they found it beautiful.

Day 5
I successfully made contact with the human today. As per usual, I completed my cyclic meal intake, but did not come across the human. When I arrived at my work station, the human was already present. She turned around to me and once again, her face warped into a horrifying grimace similar to the one on the second day, baring her teeth and raising the corners of her mouth in a rather threatening manner. I recoiled, although fortunately, the grimace was gone as soon as it had appeared. The human did not seem to notice my discomfort, and simply turned back to her work station.
After a moment, I felt secure enough to approach my own work station. As we worked in silence, I pondered if this was perhaps not a sign of aggression, but rather a way of greeting among humans. Although this thesis could not be supported by any real evidence, as baring ones teeth was a universal sign of aggression among most species.
The human, suddenly, seemingly without any indicator, spoke up: "Y‘know, I just realized that I never asked your name. That must‘ve seemed terribly rude of me."
"I was not upset by your behaviour", I decided on after a moment.
"So what is your name?" "My species does not participate in the gifting of individual names.", I explained. "We simply address each other by their titles or their profession. I am addressed as 'mechanic'."
"But that‘s…boring and sad." My front pliers uttered a rattling sound. "I have never known anything else." Her vocal cords vibrated, producing a barely detectable humming sound.
The silence did not last long. "Can I ask you a kind of personal question? You don‘t have to answer, obviously…I was just wondering: Do…all of your species look like you? Kind of like, insect-looking, six legs, pliers, compound eyes type?"
"The anatomy of my species does not wary greatly. We all look quite similar, yes." "Oh, cool"
I tried to word my own following question as polite as possible: "What…about your species? Do your individuals vary greatly from each other in terms of physique?"
"Well…kind of. I mean, we all have, like, the same 'ground structure', I guess you‘d call it? Like, anatomy-wise? But we like, can vary in, for example skin colour, eye colour, hair colour, height, weight, so shape, basically. Uuh yeah, that‘s what‘s coming into my head right now." She had started 'counting' with her fingers while she spoke, taking one finger for every thing she listed.
"That is quite astounding, compared to my species.", I informed her. "Yeah, I guess you could say so…", she opened and closed her mouth, producing a clicking sound as her teeth clashed together. Seemingly, she had wanted to say another thing, but decided against it.
Before I was able to strike up another conversation, Wrin walked, or rather, stumbled into the main control room, a bottle in their gloved hand. They informed me that, apparently, there was another leak in one of the machinery rooms that they wanted me to have a look at. Although I doubted their words, I followed them nonetheless, even if it was solely to reassure them.
As it transpired, there was an actual leak, which I had to spend the rest of the cycle repairing and checking that there was further damage or similar leaks, since there had been two in a row in a rather short matter of cycles.
When I eventually finished the task at hand, the cycle had almost come to an end and the human had left the premises to indulge in her (now dark) recharging time session.
As I stated in the report prior to this one, I do not draw conclusions, but I have a slight presentiment that the human may like me.

I've been wanting to make a post about this for a Long time, but I think it's so weird how many human characters we're getting in Dragons Rising... I can't explain it, but I feel like across the realms, we'd have way more diverse races and species and less humans... like something in my very essence and being is screaming "GIVE US MORE NON-HUMANS" and I truly cannot explain it...

Wait so in your analog horror au. If Chuuya is freezed, and his clones are in the 15-22 range, then what is Chuuya's mental age anyway? Like, when Dazai breaks him out of the lab, will be mentally and physically be fifteen? So like. Chuuya's.... basically a child in this au.
Also Dazai's a demon what-
well you know how in stormbringer chuuya is chuuya and the clone is supposedly younger and more innocent looking? In sb the lie was that the chuuya was the clone and cloneboy was the original, But i decided to make that lie a reality so that the Chuuya we know and follow and care about is the clone, and the Original is a human kid that may become relevant.
basically og chuuya is on freeze because if he woke up he'd go into straight into Corruption nuke mode. Big distinction that i've been thinking is that the clones don't have corruption, but the original does.
and about the ages? don't think too hard about it i'm shifting everyone's ages around. Atsushi's like 20+ now, Kunikida got bumped up like 5 years. Akutagawa's a minor. Ango, Oda and Kouyou will be in the 30s. I'm messing around with the ages.
