THING

abilities

(17/03/13) Minor Ink Healing: If he drinks ink, any minor injuries he has heals. Things like scrapes, bruises, and light wounds.

(17/07/30) Full Ink Healing: Any wound can be healed with ink (unless they're fatal). The worse wound, the more ink is required. Wounds can't heal the normal way any more.

(17/08/15) Gunmanship.

(17/08/17) Poetry writing skills.

(18/06/13) As a book spirit takes damage, their tether to reality weakens. Physical damage causes mental instability, and an already unstable mind makes the spirit corrode more quickly. Past a certain point of corrosion, they descend too deeply into madness and can't function (especially in battle) until they're healed. Past that point, they fall apart into nothing but ink and have to be summoned again. In Recolle terms, this would be a standard death.

THING

(17/04/07) Book that turns into a rifle ( x )

(17/07/06) The letter he sent to Arishima ( x )

Chieko says that there is no sky in Tokyo,
Says that she wants to see the real sky.

I look up in surprise.
The sky between the young cherry blossom leaves is
The familiar beautiful sky that I cannot
Be separated from.
The blur at the gray smoggy horizon
Is the salmon-pink start of the morning.

Looking far, Chieko says,
Says that the blue sky that appears every day
On top of Mount Atatara
Is her real sky.

This is our simple story.

— Elegies to Chieko, Takamura Koutarou
