You know, this probably isn't that important or anything, but I kinda noticed this trend the other day. Like, whenever someone brings up self-defense, it's always magic or some sort of weapon.

Maybe... No, I'm pretty sure this is a biased opinion, but why doesn't anyone ever ask to learn martial arts? I'm not gonna stupidly start yelling that martial arts is the best, but, it's got it's advantages over magic and weapons, right?

I guess, well, I'm just complaining that I never hear someone say "Let me learn martial arts!" when it comes to protecting themselves. I don't think I'd like, be the best teacher, but, I probably could get someone started... that is, if I'm not the only one.

["It was an accident" is an acceptable phrase; "you were an accident" is not. Subtle differences.] ...In short.

Born what way? [He peers through the journal.] Are you - part cat?

**She knows that... it's just now how it came out.**

Genetically speaking, technically... It's like... if I remember right, I have human and cat genes. But, I can like, transform into what's basically a werecat at will.

[This is something he's thought about often - the ability to be only a part-time Turtle.]

Which... which do you like better? Being human, or being werecat?

I don't think it's really a matter of 'which is better'. I'm me, and that's part of me. Weither or not I have hands or cat paws, I'm still the same girl.

[A philosophy he could get behind.] But, I mean, if you had to choose one...

Uh... if I have to, being human. I hated being someone's science project... And there's still people like that who look at us like we're aliens or something...

[Not the answer he was hoping for.] I know the feeling. It must be nice, being able to avoid that.

Well, I really couldn't back home, but here, nobody cares really! People think it's actually cool.

This world does have some good points.

[Oh, hasn't introduced himself yet.] I'm Donatello, by the way.

Uriko. Uriko Nonomura.

Nice to meet you.

So... What are these "Zoanthropes"?

I thought we covered that?

It's well, people, like me, who can willingly change into a were-beast form. Everyone I know is a different animal though. I haven't met anyone who's the same ani-... hmm...

But, I mean, how do they get like that? Are they born that way? You said some people were experimented on...

As far as I know, we're just born this way. Lots of us are different ages, and we don't have any weird background in common.

But, as far as the experimenting goes... it was more like... our limits, and stuff like WHY we could do it, or why it even happened...

Oh, I see. A natural mutation.

Were... were you experimented on?

Mhm...

[He's assuming that's a yes.] I'm sorry...

Ehh... it's fine. It was a long time ago, and those people... well, it's not like they're alive anymore.

[He doesn't take comfort in death, even in the death of his enemies.]

You don't look old enough for it to have been that long ago.

I was still a kid when they did it... They somehow managed to turn me into a weird chimera thing when they did it too...

A... chimera? [A goat/lion/snake creature? Or some other sense of the word?]

I dunno... I just remember that that was the word they used... My mom kind of said it too...

[What a horrible thing to call your own daughter...]

But it was only temporary?

Technically. But being here made it happen again...

You were experimented on here too?
