Hmm.. Truly intriguing questions. Might I take a shot at answering them?
Well, nobody truly asked me in particular, but as a Maison Talo fictive, I thought answering these questions might be interesting..
Perhaps it might be a way to get the ball rolling.
#1;
Q > Is it possible to negotiate with the house in a way to live in it without dying?
A > Yes, quite possible, actually. I did just that when I met my lover. After I decided that I no longer wanted to.. 'Take clients', so to say.. I wanted to experiment, and find out if a Human and a Realtor could live together in Harmony. So, I set out to find my new roommate. That's how I first met my Lover. We lived together in my house body for 3 years before I joined the system.
#2;
Q > Is Talo only capable of eating people or can he eat other things? Is it just because humans are a favorite/more accessible?
A > All Realtors are able to eat other things, including materials, be it Organic or Inorganic. The reason why Realtors may often choose to eat Humans is for 2 main reasons.. Firstly, it's deeply ingrained into Realtor culture and societal standards that Realtors are above all other species. Old-school Realtor beliefs tell us that other species are nothing but morsels for our kind, and that no other species is worth the precious land which we could be taking up. It teaches us that other species don't feel pain, don't have consciousness, etc... All lies. The second reason is that there are some specific nutrients and other attributes that humans possess in abundance, but that is hard to find among other animals or within other substances. Realtors need a good amount of these nutrients and such in order to continue surviving.
#3;
Q > How is the house anatomy, is the living room is the stomach?
A > I believe MortisFox released a picture depicting Realtor Anatomy. However, What I remember about my house body's anatomy was a little different... The organs were not as compartmentalized, aside from a few key areas. The brain was in the roof, and the 'heart' was within the walls of the living room. The rest was largely suspended, at random, within the walls throughout the house. Within the walls, it's all just meaty, fleshy matter. Every here and there throughout it, you'd find an organ. The organs can and will shift around through the house, they're not cemented in place or attached to anything. Also, here's a few fun facts.. I never had a stomach. Everything I consumed was absorbed, like how a plant absorbs nutrients through the soil. I also never had intestines. I had a pair of eyes which I could move at will to look at any place within the house through any wall. Finally, I had an enormous mouth which I used to consume large meals.
#4;
Q > If I broke a wall, would I find veins or organ lining?
A > You would find a mass of pulsating, fleshy matter. Veins run throughout it. You might find an organ if you're lucky.
#5;
Q > One of his dislikes is apparently mold, meaning that he has experienced it before, what does it feel like?
A > It's horrid... It's like another, invasive plant species is trying to take over my body.. It felt like fuzzy, awful creatures slowly inching their way over my skin... It's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
#6;
Q > Is the floor of the whole house capable of melting us or just the living room floor?
A > We.. We do not 'melt', dear questioner. That is simply a trick of the mind that makes it look to you like we would. It's an after affect of concentrated Realtor Hormones. All Realtors have an ample supply of it, and it's main effects are drowsiness, and hallucinations. It makes things a little easier for everyone.
#7;
Q > How far can the lure go and how durable is it?
A > How durable is your body?? Haha.. Alright, alright. I won't answer that part, but I will tell you how far the cord can extend. The answer is.. It's limitless. It could circle the earth, in theory. Personally, though, I never left the valley until I joined our system. Most Realtors also do not leave the valley, although some had settled in places outside of it.
#8;
Q > Is the house capable of enjoying music and things like that?
A > Yes, absolutely! I love music, and I was able to hear anything all throughout the house, and for a small radius, outside of it. Now, in headspace, I can hear anything within a large radius of my Lure.
#9;
Q > Is the lure hollow/organ-less like John is?
A > For the most part, yes. However, there are a few specialized uses of the Lure. Technically speaking, the Lure of a Realtor is the Realtor's sexual organ. It obviously has another use, though, as the Lure is used to attract clients to a Realtor's house. There are no 'organs' in a Lure, so to say ( aside from the cord ), but there are some specialized nerve endings, and the all-important gland, if the Realtor is a Pollinator.
#10;
Q > Are the windows like eyes?
A > In a way, yes. However, I have to actively look out of them either using my Lure or my 'House eyes'. I can't use them directly as if they were eyes themselves in order to look outside. Many Realtors consider the windows to be like their eyes, though, and thusly I do as well.
#11;
Q > Is he capable of feeling human emotions?
A > Yes, absolutely. It's a myth that Realtors don't feel Human emotions. We do feel Human emotion, just usually on a lower level and to a lesser extent than Humans do. However, all Realtors are different. It's just often the case that Realtors don't experience emotions to the level of severity or to the extent that Humans are able to.
#12;
Q > What happens if the lure is damaged/destroyed? If that's even possible-
A > It is possible to sever the connection between a Lure and the Realtor's house form. However, it is extremely difficult. If even a string of connection remains between the cord pieces, the Realtor will be able to repair it quite swiftly and it will be fully repaired and functional afterwards. If the connection is completely severed, however.... That is it for that Lure. The Realtor will be able to grow a completely new Lure, however it is a long process, and the Lure will never look exactly the same as it did before.
#13;
Q > Does cutting the cord on his neck break the connection with the house?
A > Yes. However, refer back to the previous question for further details about that.
#14;
Q > Is everything in the house organic material?
A > Yes, and no. A Realtor creates furniture either by installation, or by mimicry/approximation. With installation, a specialized service delivers appliances that are difficult for Realtors to create on their own, and helps the Realtor install them into the house. With approximation, a Realtor consumes the matter they wish to create furniture out of ( Foam, Metal, Plastic, etc.), and then they are able to create an approximation of that material. The Realtor sculpts their own flesh into that of what they'd like to create, and then through a series of internal chemical reactions, the outermost part of the Realtor's flesh is turned into that material. So, once a Realtor has consumed a specific material, they can then make an approximation of it at any time they like afterwards. A realtor only has to consume a material once, and then they can create whatever they like and it will take on the appearance of that material. Quite a handy ability, I'd say.
#15;
Q > Does it hurt if someone breaks a wall, a window, a door, etc?
A > Yes, to an extent. The outside of my body was like a shell. I couldn't feel much of anything on the outside of my body, aside from a few spots. It mostly felt like light brushes of wind or leaves against my skin whenever something touched the outside of my body. On the inside, however, I had much more connection with the walls, doors, and such. It hurt much more if damage occurred to those parts.
#16;
Q > Is he capable of healing himself or does he need assistance?
A > For the most part, I am able to make repairs to my house form on my own. On occasion, though, if the damage is severe enough then a specialized Realtor Repairman must come and assist me.
#17;
Q > Is it, hypothetically, possible for the house to just,,,,, get up and move like Monster House/The Owl House????
A > Yes. However, Migrating your entire house body takes a good bit of energy. A Realtor must consume large portions for a few months in advance, and you can only migrate once every year or two. In addition, you still have to worry about your stamina. Depending on your level of fitness, the size of your abode, etc.. You may not be able to move far. Most Realtors stay in the same plot for the entirety of their lives.
#18;
Q > ,,,,,,, what,,,,,.what are the,,, 2 garages for?,,,,,
A > For storage, and aesthetics!
#19;
Q > How do these demon houses (?) reproduce? Like do two houses just,,,, find a way??? Is it asexual reproduction??? Do they just spawn?????
A > MortisFox released a infographic artwork piece about this which is quite accurate. I'd recommend giving it a good look-over.
#20;
Q > ,,,, is,,,, is it even possible to have sex with the house??!?!?!?!?!??????? Why!??!?????!!!???
A > Yes, yes it is Possible. Why? Well.. Why does anyone have sex? It's for pleasure, if it's just with the house. If it's with the Lure, it can be for Pleasure and for reproductive purposes. That's only if you're a Realtor yourself, as well, though.
Well, that's all for that batch of questions. I hope you all found this interesting, or informative. Feel free to send me any more of your questions, and I'll get to them when I'm able to. Until next post, dear readers, remember...
