raisetheearth | Defect Mogeko Incursion

[Action]
[She paused at the sight. There were familiar yellow cat-like things wandering around looking very confused. When they saw her, they froze up. She realized why just as some of them began to flee.]

Wait! I'm not Moge-ko! I'm nothing like her!

[That caused some to pause and give her confused looks. And then she caught up and they tensed up as she began to speak...]

[Video]
Is there a "My past life was a terrible person" club? Because I think I'd be a good candidate for one.

Also, Mogekos suck. They're horrible. They look like those. [And she uploads a picture of one of the yellow cat-things.] Except that those ones here're okay. I've talked with them. [And they'd been afraid of her because she looked like that horrible Moge-ko. It'd taken some effort to calm them down a bit, but they'd still been wary of her.] They're Defect Mogekos which means that they aren't like the rest and they get killed for it. I don't know how they showed up here and they don't know either. This must be one of those weird things like the dinosaurs.

Um, they aren't very bright, I don't think, but could someone give them jobs or something? They'll starve without it and I already asked my dad and he said no to feeding all of them and that they should get jobs if they're smart enough to talk. And he won't give them jobs either.

[How unfair! Cute things like those shouldn't have to suffer! Well, at least the not-terrible ones. The terrible ones deserve it.]

[Defect Mogeko encounters]
[Defect Mogekos can be seen wandering around Gateway City now. Your character might run into them.]

Mascots are usually designed with a particular purpose in mind. These creatures... they seem a bit directionless.

Perhaps, though, they should be analyzed. There are... far too many anomalous instances like this running around, and I'm not certain Factor Industries would be interested in making the findings public.

I could be the one to do it...

...And what'd this analyzing involve?

[Mina is kinda wary. Those creatures are cute enough and harmless (unlike their fellows). She isn't sure she wants to put them into the hands of someone who apparently wants to experiment on them.]

Oh, you know. Some poking, prodding, taking of samples. X-rays perhaps. Different kinds of trial and error.

[That sounds like her least favorite doctor appointments.]

No way!

[Though there isn't really much she can do about it. It's not like she commands them. The Defect Mogekos're wandering around on their own, and he can probably find some of his own.]

.... You don't want to know what they are? What if they're like those snakes in Locke City? Do you really want to risk another crisis we'll be blamed for?

They're harmless! Well, not most Mogekos but those ones don't act like them. What do you mean, like those snakes?

They could conceal various dangers. Or perhaps even be the creation of people who don't have our best interests at heart.

Wow, paranoid much?

[Says the one who's not got that much direct experience with the craziness of the past few years.]

Paranoid? More like comprehensive. These are not normal phenomena, are they?

I still don't want you to hurt them.

... Who said anything about hurting them?!

...Oh, fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like I can stop you. They aren't exactly mine.

... Alright then. Do you think you could... let me speak to one of them?

I don't have one on hand. Go hunt them down yourself. They're all around in Gateway City.

... You know, I'm beginning to think you're intentionally making this difficult for me.

I just don't feel like going out and finding one right now. They're scared of me anyways, because I look like her. My 'Other'.

And? Do you think they'll disobey you if you refuse to use your "other's" authority?

They'll do what I want them to because they don't want to be crucified and tortured and stuff like that. She was a fucking psycho. Anyways, that's why I don't want to tell them to do stuff.

[Unless it's in their best interests, like transporting them to Shepherd's Haven to work jobs there.]

That didn't really answer my question, though. Though I guess if you refuse, there's nothing for it.

What I'm saying is that I can't 'refuse to use my Other's authority' because they still think I'm her and are scared. But anyways, you go do it yourself.

Very well then. I suppose my own talents will make up for the lack of helpfulness in others.

I just care about the poor things more than you do! [Mostly because they're cute.]

You still seem to be under the impression that I'd hurt them. All I'm suggesting you do is manipulate them. For a short period of time.

I'm just saying I don't want to frighten the poor things just so someone can poke at them! Even if it won't hurt them.

It appears then that you've made your decision.

Unfortunate.
