Please, for a moment, give me your attention, all of you.

My name, again, is Ashitaka. I have a request to make. Most of you don't know me very well, and I understand if you disregard this.

First, I owe you all an explanation. Where I'm from, there are gods and demons alike. Gods to guard forests and the mountains. Demons that form due to anger and hatred.

[Ashitaka undoes his sleeve, pushing it back to reveal his scarred skin.]

I was cursed by a former god turned demon where I am from. When it is done claiming my body, it will kill me. I originally asked about the spirituality of this world because I was unsure of what could help me. Lord Prima has advised that I go on a journey to the Badlands. He has given me a map and a task.

However. Lord Prima also advised that I do not venture alone. So what I ask is this: will anyone be willing to go out into the Badlands with me? It will be dangerous, so I have need of those who can defend themselves. I will be honored if you volunteer yourself, but I need to know if you can fight as well.

I also understand if you do not wish to offer your help to me. If I must go alone, I will.

Thank you.

That looks unpleasant. Why were you cursed?

[Wow, somebody's rude, and Cliffjumper's narrow optics doesn't make it any better, but...]

Looks like you've got a bunch of offers already, but if ya need another pair of hands, I could probably come.

[Slightly conditional mostly because he doesn't know you, or why that curse is there, but at the same time it'd be kind of wrong not to offer.]

I was cursed because I was protecting my village from the demon god. He became a demon because what was done to him.

Thank you. I wouldn't say no to the company. Lord Prima said it could be dangerous out there. But I also understand if you want to stay behind. I will not force you to come with me.

Messy in other words, though you were just doin' what anyone'd do.

[There's a huff and a shake of his helm.]

Nah, I'll come. The more you've got, less chance anyone's gonna get overwhelmed if somethin' attacks. "Dangerous" isn't something I usually pay attention to.

[That grin? Yeah, his behaviour is about as bad as it implies.]
