If people got other suggestions m'open though.

[munchin' bun]

[reapoman]

I don't know. You want to tell me more about yourself and see if something comes to mind?

[rugpull]

I'm a spottted hyena beastman from the slums of Sunset Savanna. My ma died in childbirth and my father ran the fuck off so I was raised by my grandmother.

When I was abouts sixteen I got invited to a fancy asshole magic boardin' school. It was a great opportunity so we made it work. I go t'school now--hyenas don't usually get schooled. Learn m'lessons, play a sport, do sidehustles. My favorite class is languages. But I like alchemy too.

[reapoman]

[ Jeez okay, give him a second to parse all of that. ]

Why languages?

[rugpull]

I'm good at it and s'most useful. If ya speak lotsa languages s'much easier to get a job in a nicer, better payin' position.

[reapoman]

[ He's picking up a theme with this child. ]

I'm starting to understand why this says... [ Glances back down at the yearbook in his lap. ] "Most likely to skip class for work."

[rugpull]

I wish....I can't afford t'miss most classes...

...but if the pay is good enough yeah 'll find a way out.

[reapoman]

Isn't that exhausting?

[ Coming from the most tired looking man in the world BUT HEAR HIM OUT. This kid is just that, a kid. ]

[rugpull]

Enh...I gotta what I can while m'young and able.

[reapoman]

Uh-huh. And the part where you just enjoy being a kid comes when?

[rugpull]

...if yer a reaper ya oughta know sometimes kids ain't got time for that.

[reapoman]

I'm very aware. That doesn't make it less depressing.

Not that a ghost-infested school is the best place to take a break, but it looks like both of us are getting a surprise vacation whether we want it or not.

[rugpull]

This ain't a vacation...

[reapoman]

We're not at work, are we?

[rugpull]

Survival is always work.

[reapoman]

Ha. I guess you got me there.

Why alchemy, then?

[rugpull]

S'kinda like cookin', which I love. And with alchemy ya can make valuable stuff from less valuable stuff!

One day m'gonna do it and make gold...

[tail waggies]

And s'pretty when the stuff in the cauldron turns colors...

[reapoman]

[ TAIL WAGGIES 🥺 ]

Maybe we should be naming you after gold, then.

[rugpull]

Shihihihi!! Pretendin' a hyena is that high value? THAT'S a funny joke!

[reapoman]

Consider it a bit of alchemy of our own, but only if you want.

[rugpull]

Gold...naw, I ain't that valuable. Not yet.

One day Imma get there though. I'll have loads of cash. We'll have a nice place in the city. A big comfy chair for m'grandmother...a kitchen fulla yummy smells...lil' hyenas visitin' and gettin' full bellies...

[reapoman]

[ This is so cute... wtf. ]

Alright then. If Mocha works for you for now, then that works for me.

[rugpull]

What about you? What ya pick?

[reapoman]

I'm partial to Styx, I think. Like the river.

[rugpull]

Oh like the secret overblot police.

[different...things....but also not...]

They did a big raid on m'school once.
