[Have others told you that you should seek therapy?]  Yo! My name's Noid. I run the Herman Carter ask blog. :B Ask me/Herman anything! I paragraph roleplay him frequently on Discord. Sadly, I can't draw, so I've no art to share vuv

That new survivor that came with pyramid head may know some things about him, or rather his realm. From what I remember she was very important, she is like a web, connected to many things in that universe. Though I can tell you now, it’s best to just get it out of her with treatment than any other means. She’s a very strong girls when it comes to these kinda things, but nothing that your treatment can’t undo

Interesting information.

"Strong girl" you say. I have yet to see one. Even Miss Thomas grits her teeth before she relents and screams under the pressure of my madness in her head.

Don't worry. No matter what she tries I'll get what I need out of her head. She is not immune to my treatment. No one was, no one is, and she will not be the last one to crack open in front of me to stop the treatment.

[ask-herman-carter]

Doctor, I'm feeling unwell, I think I have lovesick.

Oh no. How sad. Please keep your contagions away from me. You should be fine if you also decide to ignore your sickness because it's for people who won't receive what they want.

"The wrath that flows through their veins is their legacy." This was said about the Yamaokas. The Oni and The Spirit are related, albeit very distantly. While it could be a passive magical effect, we cannot rule out a physical component... perhaps harvesting the blood of one may prove to yield useful results. The Spirit is ruled out due to her having no blood left. But the Oni on the other hand... full of it.

Ah...?

The Spirit I am vaguely aware of. She is elusive, shy. She does not like me for many an obvious reason. I cannot catch her quick enough as she slips through my fingers and even my power. My spark is not good enough.

But her ancestor... The Oni. He's taller than I, reaching around 8 feet in height. He has an unexplainable anger and I only need to know that detail from just observing him afar, or after he has been through a match. Survivors that escape him sometimes are missing limbs and I get the pleasure of observing the damage when they're unable to stop the bleeding.

Perhaps I will have to see when he can be subdued. I have an idea about it.

[ask-herman-carter]

I really wouldn't piss of slinger, if I were you. The man incredibly vengeful, h'ed surely find a way in the end to get you.

Oh, please. I did not kill men and women for nothing. I am very familiar with revenge, and held hands with the idea of revenge tasting incredibly sweet. I'm not exactly a man that is unaware of what reality is like.

[ask-herman-carter]

are there any survivors that you can stand?

Few and far between. The ones that are compliant to my research and don't scream... Well, they interest me the most.

I will not give you specifics. Use your head. Or don't.

[ask-herman-carter]

Blight's over. We learn anything? Also it seems the Entity is absorbing a new killer into the realm, as well as a new survivor. The Twins and Elodie Rakoto, respectively. The reason they're called the twins is because they're, well, conjoined twins, I.E big girl and her little parasitic twin. Both (twins) from 17th century France.

17th century... France, you say? 

I must know more. Indeed, I must look into them and how they move. My realm is a wealth of goodies for a duo of scavengers. Not only that, but I can surely learn something about conjoined twins from an era that could have surely looked down upon it.

Conjoined twins, even in my year, were an amazing feat to lay your eyes upon. I can only imagine the 17th century as a pair of twins that were forced to stay close at the skin. 

I wonder if I could give them something just enough to entice their animalistic behavior. Something shiny, something that smells good or even looks appealing. Oh I’m sure I have something. 

I wonder how the blight can affect them as a whole. Perhaps we can find out? Or am I even willing to work with the putrid serum again after what it had all caused?

To use it, or to not? A good question for the acclimation of science.

[ask-herman-carter]

The Twins are here. I expect they are pointlessly unworthy of your time?

The Twins. The Twins.

That depends. My curiosities are intrigued by a name like that. Perhaps I will try to pay them a rather mindful visit. Yet I do not know if it is worth to leave my post and abode to go find them. Decisions, decisions...

[ask-herman-carter]

Sir are you referring to the new killer lurking about? They're a interesting pair from what we've seen so far, and very vicious

Very vicious, you say? I will have to check it out. But what interests me the most is that you say "pair." Two in one? Otherwise I doubt the Entity would be able to conjure the energy for two.

How intriguing.

*A note and a curious device lie on the doctors desk. The note reads "This device is called The Auris. I stole it from the man who lives in The Archives, and I thought you may want to play with it. Have fun!"*

Archives... Interesting. A part of me feels deceived and unappreciated by my following. If I had wanted this I would have asked for it. This also feels strangely like a trick.

But let’s see what we can do.

[ask-herman-carter]

The survivors help you? I thought they would stay away from you, seeing as your like this and the serum makes you loss yourself and get more violent. Why would they (or at least the few who dead) come close to any of you? I know you said one does it for research but what kind of research? What has she found?

Only a handful assist. Particularly at the risk of their own bodies, but their curiosity is as great as mine. They have managed to evade me whenever I decided to try and go against our hand-written and signed contracts.

I am only sometimes a man of my word, even on written paper. Sadly, some of them are smarter than I give them credit for.

[ask-herman-carter]

How are you feeling, Mr Carter?

Exhausted, quite frankly. The blight may be over but there is much to learn from. There is something new afoot and the world is changing. Changing heavily.

I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s something... new. Thrilling.

Hmm...

[ask-herman-carter]

That runt has injected some others as well, ghostface and the legion... have you’ve run into them? I hope not, they are... not well to say the least

Only recently. Ghostface and I bumped into each other. I say “bumped” when I really mean he got caught slipping through my belongings like a lab rat. But he was looking at what I had collected to research the damn blight season and then the Blight in itself.

He said he felt like he could have done anything, that he was numb and he could have worn himself to pieces. Unlike some of us, he only got stronger, but apparently he also stuck himself more and more into it while others, such as myself, wanted it off.

So the theory of “it is a drug” may be what we have. But we will see. There is much more to see and understand. 

I have yet to run into Legion. I heard from Miss Morel that they had one of the worst appearances as a group of four. Perhaps I will ask them myself.

[ask-herman-carter]

Would you, if able, experiment on other killers/survivors with blight serum? The data provided may also allow you to find a cure for it.

You are correct. While the pain I endure now does not stop my curiosities, it does fuel my rage. So perhaps once I can get some of my blood onto my beakers and in my hands, then perhaps they can be used accordingly. I must know, I must know. 

[ask-herman-carter]

Well, to correct the other anon, the ghostface you have isn’t from film. He’s a completely different person entirely, the mask and overall “costume” he has IS from a movie. Or rather a company that produces the masks. If anything Myers, bubba, Freddy, and the pig are the only ones from film. And the demo is from a tv series on a digital platform and the pyramid head is from a video game.

At this point, I don’t think it matters to me where they are from. They seem to be based off of entertainment, for the entertainment of the masses. They are likely the biggest puppets of the Entity as they are familiar in different franchises. 

Pitiful.

[ask-herman-carter]

I know you're probably not in the mood for this but, if injecting that liquid coming from the flowers causes this... Im wondering what yould happen if you smoke the petals...

It would likely make your lungs sag, explode from your chest cavity or flowers would spurt to choke you, and prevent you from breathing. 

I am not a merciful man but I, for once, don’t recommend that.

[ask-herman-carter]

Has anyone been trying to help you manage the sickness and the pain?

Yes. Two. One is Miss Morel but she does it for her own benefit. The other one, well...

The boy. The tired one. He told me he was tired of everyone hurting so much for the sake of “spider-bitch.” So he visits everyone. More than he should. 

[ask-herman-carter]

What does the blight even do? Other than... this, the pain and the disfigurement. Does it do anything else to your power? Or any other assets?

There must be something. I wonder if I can conjure up the idea to gather some and see what I can tell about it.

As much as I don’t necessarily want this to spread, I must know more. So I will grab the next survivor that happens too close.
