[ 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?

Probably. Define 'ghoul' first.

[anthropophagite]

They are beings that look like humans to the point of being impossible to tell the two apart by just looking. But they have different organs and some different characteristics like more strength.

They also have a highly specialized diet and can't eat anything but humans.

[snarkbark]

Sounds familiar, but not exact, I think. Demons eat people in most of the worlds I've visited.

[anthropophagite]

I never heard of demons actually existing.

What do you mean "you have visited"? Can you travel, like in a space-ship?

[snarkbark]

Breaking down a piece of reality to move into the next. I can't do it here :). My moms the best at it, though.

Anyway, demons are real almost everywhere I've been. In one form or another. They sound like ghouls, but I think their biology is probably different again. For example, demons definitely turn into horrified, jaw unhinged, giant monster toothed weirdos when they're attacking.

[anthropophagite]

It'd be very useful if it was working here.

But no, that's not a ghoul at all. [ actually, in a future canon point........ ] I've never heard of something like that here.

[snarkbark]

Probably. But since we're talking about flesh-eating monsters, it would mean my sister could visit. Which no one wants.

[anthropophagite]

You sister is a flesh eating monster???

[snarkbark]

She's more into hearts and stuff, but sure.

[anthropophagite]

>big>Why? Is that the only thing she can eat?

[snarkbark]

It's the only thing that gives her sustenance. It's the same for our mom, too.

[anthropophagite]

And you?

[snarkbark]

Pizza and dim sum.

[anthropophagite]

Why don't you, though? Is your father normal?

[snarkbark]

Not really. My parents have the same genes,
but I think my dads dad made their side less ... cannibally.

[anthropophagite]

Are you like a different species of sorts?

[snarkbark]

Crossbreed maybe?

[anthropophagite]

Of what?

[snarkbark]

Too many things, now that I'm thinking about it. Kind of glad no one in my family has the power of space travel, lest we get some alien in there.

[anthropophagite]

I thought a being could only procreate with a being of the same species. [ unless you are talking about hybrids, but hybrids usually can't procreate ]
