For those who have heard of and are trying to find the snake-woman some villagers have mentioned, I have some information: it seems she is a "mother" and is looking for her child.

I do not know what she is and what her child looks like and I also do not know if she is dangerous, but given she prefers to flee than to attack, I suppose that says something about her. [ but then again, a lot of people wouldn't care, would they? She looks different and that's often good enough.

But Kaneki is not about to go on a moral rant about this ]

You can do as you wish with this information, naturally. [ he will judge you if you decide to hunt her ] But if anyone wishes to help her, I'd like to try finding her child or aid her somehow.

[ why, you ask? because Kaneki has shit loads of mommy issues that's why. ]

I suppose the first question is, what is her natural shape? Is her current form some manner of curse, since this village is so fond of curses, or the way she was born? Easier to find a child if you know what shape it takes.

[ Is it a snake-child, or a regular human child?

Is the child alive, for that matter? ]

[enucleation]

Unfortunately, I do not have any information on her besides what I shared. I hoped others could aid me finding out more.

I am currently leaving her food in the places she has been sighted, but I'm open to other suggestions.

[blackscales]

You clearly had a source of information to get this much. Perhaps they might know more?

[ Is he fishing? Yes, he's fishing. ]

[enucleation]

Yes, I did. This is all they knew, though.[ honestly? Kaneki would rather if nobody went there and bothered the witches, since he is spending a lot of time there himself and that's the only place he can get some food in peace ]

In all fairness, they mocked the creature, too, so I doubt they wish to help in any way.

[blackscales]

It's little wonder she runs. I recall hearing she had been spotted in wells. Perhaps she is related to the appearance of dark waters? I wonder if her child drowned.

[enucleation]

She is not human and is hunted by others. Her actions are not surprising, neither is her fear.

But it could be related, yes. I haven't tried learning more about the well-system yet, neither explored the end of the wells, but there could be some clues. I'm okay going down one, if I must. [ it could be dangerous and yet Kaneki does not care ]

[blackscales]

Perhaps we could look for a correlation between her appearances and the issues with the water. They claimed the dark water 'returned', which suggests a previous occurrence.

If you investigate the wells I am happy to be assist, it will be easier with two.

[enucleation]

Yes, I remember something like that. The presence of the "mother" could be because of the waters, so it's worth exploring.

And so are the wells. if you'd like to join me, I'd appreciate it.

My name is Kaneki.

She appears as animals. Irrational.



( But... animals can be cursed, there is truth in this. )

[blackscales]

Do you hunt everyone who acts irrational?

[ #Disapproval ]

[downswing]

I say only I believe her shape is animal.
