Natsuno can't even begin to guess what kind of "matter" creates flames without smoke. Focused questions about science and magic, as well as their conclusion, are best left for Rita. In the meantime he'll throw stuff and see what sticks, as long as the captain's willing to chat.]
It's from a movie I saw a very, very long time ago. When I decided that I wanted a human form, it was the first one that came to mind. And it's the one I always seem to return to. [he glances down at his own hand, as if studying it.] I hardly even think of it that way anymore, really. It's just me.
[She's annoyed and emotionally worn out, so it's back to just sliding in snide comments. At least she doesn't have to ask what a "movie" is, thanks to Natsuno and all those cheesy (totally not creepy) horror flicks he had.]
[Makes just about sense as anything about the captain. Whatever creature he was before, he apparently watched movies and decided a human form and a cruise ship would be neat. Somelike like Skulduggery is invested, but Natsuno is an angry teen and doesn't care much for facts he doesn't think will help him destroy the captain.
He turns to Rita and raises an eyebrow. If she's done, they can take Wilhelm and continue the existential crisis somewhere else.]
[After that bit of grumbling, she nods to Natsuno. She has neither the patience nor energy to ask philosophical or metaphysical questions for more details on what they are, and the experiment they came for is finished. The angry teens see no point in sticking around.]
Bye. [waves directly at his new bff Ariel, then looks up at them.] Be sure to drop by the next time you'd like to fail at something. It's always fun to watch.

Is that why you don't like smoke?
no subject
[And while she'd be petty enough to argue that point, it wouldn't get them anywhere, so--flame, huh.]
Flames don't come from nothing. Something has to burn to make them.
no subject
[a pause] No, though. That's not why I hate it. It's just a filthy habit.
no subject
[Sarcasm aside, you know...she thinks she knows the answer.]
I doubt anything could be worse than what we've already heard. Just spill it!

[in a perfect mimicry of her voice]
no subject
Nice trick.
[Still keeping the poker face.]
Is your usual voice a mimicry too?
no subject
[UGH SHE HATES THIS SHE HATES THIS NO STOP THAT what were they talking about again...oh, right...]
Hmph! So you don't even know. What idiot doesn't know what he's made of?
no subject
[raises brow at her] You children get so upset when you don't like the answers. I continue to wonder why you still insist on asking the questions.
no subject
[So they can kill the bastard, but hey, it's still solving the mystery.]
Who did you base this form on?
no subject
[It's the only comeback she has for that. Interrogating is
clearly not her strong suittoo annoying.She goes ahead and deactivates the barrier now, seeing as it's of no use against the captain in its current state.]
no subject
[and that was the only topic brought up right cool]
no subject
[Yup sure totally the only topic which is why Natsuno promptly brushes past it - oh wait.]
So who did you base this form on?
[So you know how sometimes children ask you a question you don't to answer but they just keep repeating it?
Yeah.]
no subject
[Still scowling but she's gonna back up Natsuno. Because having two children bug him over the same question makes him more likely to answer, right?]

Why want a human form at all?
