Fou does not know why there are so many of himself now. But he is too afraid to ask.

《 Fou is a non-Euclidian object. As you exist on a flat plane, you are unable to interact with Fou. 》

His hand passes through Fou.

《 ...Fuuuu........ 💧 》

《 Fou, fou! 》

( No translation available. )

《 Fou. 》 ( No translation available. )

Being useless seems to be a perpetual descriptor. Like the "man" trait, but this one denotes someone who won't be helpful no matter what.

Bites the fuck out of him.

( I don't understand. )

( ... I am territorial. )

( I do not care for large dogs. )

( You're loud. Your lycan form is loud and smelly. Change back. )

( Don't conflate all DAAs with eachother. You'll make them angry. )

《 Fou morning. 》

( I can't tell if this is self deprecating or your typical behavior. )

( NOOOOOOOO ) Hissing snarling clawing flailing.

( Once upon a time, he threw me out of window. He got tired of me, so he flung me out with a smile. I fell for three days and three nights. I was hungry. Cold. Hungry. Alone. Hungry. This is nothing in comparison. )

( I see no need. It would change nothing. I don't particularly consider myself an entity of evil, anyway. )

( So all those warnings about me being a walking extinction event really phased right through you, huh? )

( I thought you would've known this by now. )

《 Fuuu. 》 ( This is bait. )

《 Fou? 》

( You won't defend the mage who helped save your home? )

( But I recall you tossing your staff with a cheerful, "Oops, my hand slipped!" And responded to our rebukes with a "womp womp." )

( So the real reason you did that... At that point you'd already decided "Well, I don't like her, so who cares if she dies!" Right? )

( I'm up, I'm up. I heard the grand Quetz reunion was happening! )

That's not good.

( No, you look perfectly sane. )

( Maybe on a bad day. )

( It's fine. We can use your true form for comparison as well. That way it's fair. )

( I don't much care for being called 'teeny' either. I am far larger than you. )

( This guy keeps giving 'helpful hints' knowing full well they're of no use to anybody. As if anybody could approach you as a magus when you are, infact, a god damn vampire. )

( I greet you. )

( Another one. )

( Making him wait so he can really stew in that anxiety. )

( You are so desperate for a cat to answer this call, it makes you look stupid. )

( I don't fucking know )

( Okay. Welcome to Chaldea, scary clay. )

Abruptly remembers Merlin has B strength and Mana Burst. ( He doesn't need all of that. )

( No. I just like scaring him. If he was causing problems, I could kill him as easily as breathing. It would not be hard. As he regards me as number 1 of the 27 Ancestors, it is my job to throw my weight around and scare him half to death. )

( He is as any Dead Apostle is: deranged and violent, caring only for his entertainment. For whatever reason, Van-Fem has allowed him to grow to be this strong. Hence, there is some concern. But at the end of the day, if he were truly an enemy of mankind, he'd have been cut off... A slow death. )

( You can stop furrowing your brow, now. If he steps out of line, there will be consequences. I'm sure he'll be on his best behavior. )

( Hm. 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors—godlike beings who are above all other Dead Apostles. Those they sire become a part of their lineage, as they derive their powers from their vampire parent. Van-Fem is an eccentric, and runs a pro-humanity faction. You follow so far, yes? )

( I had no intention of harming him, but I have left a lasting impression it seems. He is of the Van-Fem lineage, so it— Ah, why am I bothering? You lot wouldn't understand anyway. )
