[Here we go, then.]

When we arrived at the mountains, there was already 'sentient', moving fog that dissolved people into nothing if they so much as touched it. They withdrew higher up the mountains when they got their fill. Think of them as extra mouths.

[As if that creature didn't have a lot already.]

Despite looking like such a mess, the monster we met at the top seemed capable of communication. I tried to reason with it, but in the end, we opted to fight instead. He had complete control over the limbs that mutated out of us. That made the confrontation quite a lot more challenging. We couldn't get much out of it before it tried eating all of us.

You fought it? [Killua's looking at Koshosho as if she just sprouted a second head. Since when was Koshosho a fighter? Did he miss the memo?!]

...Did you kill it? [Following up that befuddlement with earnest curiosity, he has a lot of things to ask, but knowing if the thing was dead or not was probably first and foremost.]

[kissfortune]

[Is it that hard to compute?! Well, at least she knows her 'weak helpless lady' act is still holding up.]

That's right. With all the blood and gore that came with it! Absolutely mortifying. I'll never volunteer for that again.

[She doesn't seem disturbed, though. Only annoyed.] And we did. ...At least, I suppose we did.

['Suppose'?]

[killectric]

[Blood, gore, everything sounds about right except for the mortifying bit, and--wait. Killua has to do a double take, his jaw dropping.]

What do you mean suppose? Don't tell me you didn't even check?!

[kissfortune]

Of course we did!

[look okay there was blood everywhere and stuff but. er. you know.]

I meant that with a creature like that, you don't know if they can't come back. After all, we've heard accounts of monsters like ourselves returning from death. Even if we did kill it this time, we can't presume it's gone for good.

[killectric]

Oh, right... [He almost forgot about the whole "monsters come back to life" thing that supposedly happens around here.]

Well I guess we'll know for sure if any of that black fog comes back. [He doesn't sound like he's looking forward to that, though.]
