[ baby's first network post and it'll be an anonymous text post, because Kaneki's priority is to know just how bad his situation really is without having others freaking out. He has thousands of questions, but none are as important as these: ]

Does anyone know what Ghouls are? Do they exist in your world? Do they exist here?

I assume they ask everyone for their name. Beyond that, I couldn't say. They seemed more concerned with passing information along and getting me settled than taking anything down.

Do they use this organ to attack? And how strong are humans, anyway?

[ She's heard the term used often enough since arrival to get the idea of what a human is, but she isn't so sure her people and humans are one and the same. The humans she's seen are shorter than Nemedians, for one, and they seem to eat a lot less despite a host of visual similarities. There could be other differences, but given she hasn't had to fight one, she really isn't sure. ]

They are accepting everyone through that door. Couldn't that be dangerous?

And I'm not sure I know how to describe how strong a human is. There are a lot of animals that are do - some dogs, even. But very few things can cut through a ghoul's skin, for example.

But yes, they use their kagune as a predatory organ.

[leadintheyoung]

It could. I suppose that says something about this place.

[ And not necessarily a good something, depending on how one wants to look at it. She can think of some people she'd rather not bump into here or anywhere, really, and just imagine if an Etan arrived from a time before she and Vafþrúðnir convinced their fathers to set their differences aside, not... that she's sure an Etan could fit through the portal. ]

I'll figure it out. What you've shared is helpful enough. With any luck, I won't have to use that knowledge.

[ Then again, it does sound like it could be quite the battle. ]

[anthropophagite]

Yeah. Probably not, maybe I'm just worrying for nothing.

[leadintheyoung]

You put one foot in front of the other. Do what you can now and put it from your mind. If a Ghoul finds his way here, deal with it then. Worrying needlessly will see you unhappy.

[ That's how she'd handle it, anyway. ]

[anthropophagite]

This is a bit of a priority for me.

[leadintheyoung]

Why?

[ It's the simplest question in the worlds and one asked in earnest. There's only so much one can do up to a point, after all, and if one does it, well... ]

[anthropophagite]

They are from my world. And some of my friends are ghouls.

[leadintheyoung]

I was wondering if that might not be the case. If you are comfortable, you may reach out to me. I do not mind keeping you appraised should I run into any Ghouls.

[anthropophagite]

Thank you, but I think it'll eventually be alright. I mean, if there haven't been any incidents yet, things are okay.

[leadintheyoung]

If you're certain. I wish you good fortune in your endeavors!

[anthropophagite]

Thank you! The same to you.
