Is Cash the type to spoil her friends with ridiculous and expensive (and ridiculously expensive) gifts just because she can afford to do that? As in, was penis-shaped ship her gift to Simon?

Yup. She had it built especially for him. Its also perfect as it helps him not have to overly rely on Heel space ships/equipment, so he can be out of disguise inside of it and not have to worry about being caught on surveillance. It also looks so stupid no one really takes it seriously anyway. It has gone through inspections but everything being penis, butt and ball shaped makes people not want to poke around and explore too much. (you should see the stick shift)

Technically paper also was staying on that ship (although she hated to) when she arrived for this mission, but I’m not sure where she is right now.... ;)

Scissor will have to be careful his other team mates dont show up or call in, especially because he has the legendary agent knife on board as well.

balamist replied to your post “A note about my vacation”

I feel you on this :( Its really sad when people who are supposed to support you turn out to be...an obstacle masked by "good intentions". Mental support is no less important than material, so you have full right to be upset/angry when you don't get any, as well as distance yourself. Do what you feel needs to be done, i hope it'll help you feel better on a long run <3

Well, I kinda don’t like to think that people are “supposed” to do anything for you, or feel certain way towards you, even if it’s your parents, unless you’re a child, then they have to provide care by law. But yes, it’s the closest ones from whom we usually expect to get support from. Sadly it’s not always that way, and I guess it’s okay. On the other hand, I got warm support from people I’ve never met, people like you, and it’s the most amazing thing. Thank you for your words, it means alot!

Do knife, spoon and fork know they all are alive? Have they ever tried to communicate or 'see' each other, maybe when Perkons owned both knife and spoon?

They do not, its only a very recent thing for Chain to like.. realize that she exists due to locket constantly trying to communicate with her. The knife and fork currently don’t have any thoughts like that. They just sort of... exist in a very detached/disassociated state. I think when Perkons owned the spoon and knife together, the only thing that happened was that the weapons were much more powerful as they were amplified by being close to each other. But, as he worked with Simon on many missions after giving the spoon to him, it basically remained the same since the weapons were still...close to one another. in present day, They have gone thru a decrease in power since their prolonged separation, and probably feel a bit more stressed out. i think this has opened them up to also being more vulnerable, which is why its been easier for locket to ‘wake’ chain up as well. (so its kind of been a good thing too.)Even If the spoon and knife ever actually managed to communicate or see each other before, both of them have forgotten any exchanges. memories have been difficult to retain since they have been very severely restrained in their thinking and starved of nutrients.

Galore told Crimson there's no female C types because they're too destructive. Was it planned that way by the species creator, or there's actually a chance for one to be born?

As Galore explained, there are no C-type egg-laying hekatons or ‘females’, and this is explained because c-types are too destructive. because egg laying hekatons are so important, it kind of adds to the c-type stigma of them being the 'worst’ or most ‘useless’ kind of hekaton. They’re just strong and big and stupid. So... really their best use is to just die!!! (Poor C-types, we all know they’re the sweetest ones. :c) The reason they do not get hatched might be because periods for C-type hekatons would likely be too violent for the c-types to survive. But as far as there actually being a chance for one to be hatched? ...that is totally possible :) heheheh. heheheheheh........... hehehehehehh *flickers flashlight on and off under my chin*

When hekatons get too emotional and their faces start to change, are those changes random or do they lead to a specific new form for each hekaton? Do their bodies also change if they don't try to control it? Sorry for asking so many question, i love FFAK so much QwQ

How i generally approach it, or thinking about it, is that each hekaton has a sort of a ‘second face’ they shift to. they’re not strictly tied to that second face, but there are general things it try to remember when drawing it so it “feels” like, a bit more personal to that character. But just like with our own faces, we can have a variety of different expressions! And I think that because hekaton faces change depending on emotion, some are going to be more distorted and weird than others.

For example, Lauma’s generally looked like a “wolf” ish kind of face, i generally thought of Velns as a type of “bird” or “pterodactly” and Fork is also sort of like a “trex” or dinosaur like face. Knife sometimes looks “moray eel” like to me.

For Spoon, there really isnt a specific animal that i think of for him. It just feels like a cartoonish human to me. Locket is also difficult to pinpoint, but he borrows a lot from Knife. (I also think this ties into trends that each type exhibits-- so A-types are kind of like ‘freakish human’ to me, B-types are kinda like wolves/canines/bears/ect and c-types look like dinosaurs, or marine animals.)

These don’t really mean too much in the long run, just sort of my thoughts as I build up patterns.

Spoon intentionally would shift his face around because he enjoyed terrifying people with it, since he is an A-types and also is pretty much indistinguishable from being a human otherwise.

Generally though, these distortions just happen around the face. Full body shifting is really only reserved when hekatons are doing those big growing up moments. Besides that, they have certain limitations with their bodies. (They mostly can just change the sizes of things slightly, like grow a bit taller or shorter, and adjust things like their chests and genitals, if they work really hard they can reorganize pieces of themselves in differnet places, but it takes a bit of effort and will easily ”snap” back to its correct place.) (Spoon would often twist his head around or do that more disturbing stuff to freak ppl out) (like with everything really that is just such a huge motivator for him) They can also vaguely disguise themselves to appear more human, but that takes intentional effort to ‘hold’ in place. Fork is very skilled at it cuz he interacts with humans all the time, but he also doesnt do much to disguise himself, just change his teeth and hide his face marking. (hekatons cannot change their eyes at all, however)if a hekaton is too emotionally upset and start shifting around too much, that’s probably a sign they’re about to explode. so like....... get away from them. probably
