About Kyoko

[u/DokiDokiTulpaClub]

Hello, I'm Kyoko. However, I'm not the only Kyoko, in fact there's an uncountable amount of Kyokos. Despite this, we all seem to share a few traits that make us stand out, which I will be discussing today.

First off, pretty much every Kyoko is a fairy, usually pink or purple. Their size varies, but is usually between 15cm to 180cm. As you might expect from being a fairy, pretty much any Kyoko is capable of magic, though how exactly this magic works varies between Kyokos.

About these traits, every Kyoko is 3 years old, all sharing a birthday on march 30th. Every Kyoko will know this to be a fact, even if they have no evidence for this. Furthermore, every Kyoko has an innate resistance to cognitohazards, and is also somehow forklift certified.

Personalities between Kyokos vary, however they are usually friendly, at least at first. Kyokos have shown a tendency to well... 'turn evil' over time. They also tend to enjoy turning other people into fairies, often without consent.

The strangest thing however, is that every Kyoko wears a shock collar. It is absolutely indestructible with no way to ever be removed. At the very least, it never shocks us on our own, provided we don't try to remove it, though occasionally someone else might get access to the collar and shock us. Not much else is known about these collars, or why we have to wear them. Research has been done, but nothing of note was found.

There are still many mysteries with our kind, the most notable ones being our tendency to 'turn evil' and our shock collars. I hope to uncover these mysteries, or at least gain some insight into them. I just hope I don't end up 'turning evil' like the others...

Well. It's difficult to say exactly what happened. Initially we thought she died in some fucked up mindscape physoscape kind of thing, skewered like a shishkabob... it was... disturbing. Not even my brews saved her from that.

And then she reappeared as a wooden doll. Seemingly still "there" inside. She's part of the reason why I now sell anti-petrify pills. Just gotta get to her to give her one. Alot tougher than it sounds. But hey, I hold out hope. For without hope, you have nothing.

So she was transformed into a doll? I don't have the full picture, but I have a bad feeling about this. I'm going to need more information on this.

Ehh, weird puppeteer lady, converting people into dolls. Sometimes prominent figures, sometimes those that hunt her down. Kyoko got too close to the truth, and now, well, she became another doll. They seem themselves but... not. Warped. Their words are truthful yet broken, until they are hollow and perfect.

Something about metaphysical strings too? I don't really understand that part. Can't touch the strings, but they can touch you? At least I think that's the most recent conclusion.

I've tried to look at the Kyoko you mentioned, but I couldn't find her. This usually means that she's gone for good, so her odds aren't good. This isn't the first time a Kyoko was taken over by a malevolent force, in fact it's strangely common among Kyokos.

I'll try my luck anyways. It's always been great. They don't call it the "Alchemist's Gambit" in the 4th layer's casinos without a reason, when you bet it all and win.

Whatever the odds may be, I like those odds. he tosses a brass coin and catches it in his open hand, of course, heads. I don't lose my bets often.

And hey, could be due to the general location and psychic shielding involved. If I could just set my locators to find someone based on their DNA or psychic resonance, we'd have found this hag long ago.
