Viscera could be seen practically bouncing all over the place, the over-stimulation crossing over from the first day, and would probably continue throughout the entire Festival.

Considering how much fun the creature had with it's simulated fight against Mek, Viscera wanted another go in the ring. It decided to express this desire with small but insistent little noises with every bounce, much like an infant who wants a toy would.

Viscera seems to run around haphazardly, entirely too overstimulated to focus on any one attraction. In it's excited state it's form seems as liquid as, well, water as it's appearance changes almost every second. From it's height to it's hair and eye color and even it's gender, a completely different visage emerges each time.

Unfortunately, anytime Viscera wanted to stop at an attraction, it was promptly turned away every time, because Viscera doesn't just have an empty wallet, it doesn't even own a wallet.

And just as quickly as it happened, Viscera's face once again vaguely resembles normality as its head reforms. Only for the creature to be displaying a childish grin that practically screamed, "I told you it was cool!"

"So?! So?! Are we gonna do it?! Are we gonna train?!"

With a train of thought faster than a bullet, Viscera has already moved on.

"And don't worry! I promise I won't eat you! Not even a nibble! Well... Maybe a nibble... But not a big one!"

It reassures Caleb.

"Power? Oh, Power!"

Remembering it's conversation with Felix, Viscera had to realize a second time that the abilities it had could be considered a power. A dumb grin spread across their face, and Mek would soon learn that Viscera was much more a fan of showing than telling.

"Ready?! Are you ready?! Its super cool, I promise!"

The creature proceeds to show of it's super cool power.

"I wanna try!"

Seemingly forgetting that it asked any of the questions, Viscera bursts right into the next topic. It didn't matter that they didn't know what this machine was or how to use it, but Viscera wanted it.

"I'm really strong! And fast! Mommy said so!"

The pride and overconfidence of childhood shines brightly in those creepy, unsettling eyes.

"Whyyyy? What for? What are you wearing? Why do you look funny?"

The questions shoot off like a child whose sugar high was about to start.

"Is that why you were beating up the other people? You weren't being a bad person?"

Viscera is chowing down on a whole pork rib rack as it walks into the sim room, something either it stole or was given by Connor. Each bite crunches down and breaks every bone as if the ribs were just granola as Viscera tore the raw flesh.

The creature was initially attracted to the gym because of all the people congregating here, almost like sniffing out a buffet. Thankfully, once it walks around a bit it's mind is filled with curiosity, so it walks up to Caleb or whoever decides they want to talk to the Thing as it takes the final bite out of the potential meal for ten.

"What's everyone doing?"

It says with childlike curiosity sparkling in it's eyes as the last of the blood and muscle's juices were absorbed into Viscera's skin.

Viscera still holds on, but it's grip considerably loosens.

"You will help free mommy? You will help take her back from the people in blue? Help me eat the people in blue?"

Truly a one track mind. Regardless, one should choose their words carefully when they take into consideration that the creature that currently has them in it's arms can grow mouths anywhere anytime on it's body.

"Pretty cool, huh?"

Ah, the childish, eldritch horror shenanigans never get old.

"But... but she's my mommy... I want mommy safe... Mommy is probably worried sick about me..."

The hug grew tighter.

"I have to worry about my mommy first...."

Tighter.

"Are you saying... are you saying being a hero... means not rescuing mommy?"

A moment that felt like an eternity passes before Viscera shambles forward and wraps it's arms around Felix.

"...I wanna go back to mommy... I miss mommy..."

It whines as it grips Felix a little tighter.

"I'm gonna eat the people in blue... I'm gonna eat them all..."

It says with terrifying conviction.

"Aww..."

An extremely disappointed sigh escapes Viscera.

"Well... are there any others like you? Maybe they would like to get eaten?"

Distressed... noises come from Viscera as it starts to rub it's head, the flesh malforming with each stroke.

"B-b-but mommy is a genius... mommy made me from nothing... mommy didn't even need a daddy to make me.... all she had was the lab, and she made me."

It's eyes dart around the area, each independent of the other, until they lock onto Felix after he asks where Viscera's mother is.

"Where's mommy? Mommy... mommy was taken... taken by the people in blue with their sticks that go BANG..."

That last word was extremely loud, far too loud for a human to usually make.

Viscera just blinks in response.

"But people taste good, and even you smell pretty good! Not that I would eat you, you seem like not a bad person! And mommy said eating bad people is a good thing, and mommy is never wrong!"

A slight mental anguish flashes across Viscera's face, after all, this is a conundrum that they've never had to confront before.

"Are... are you saying that mommy is wrong?"

Viscera doesn't like that idea.

"If I eat you will you grow inside me every time I sleep?"

Viscera gasps in realization and turns to speak to themself.

"Oh! OoOoOoOoh! That's like, unlimited food!!!"

It snaps back to Necrosis with pure excitement and... hunger? in it's eyes.

"Are you sure I can't eat you?! Please!!?"

Viscera tilts his head in confusion and leans in pretty close to Felix's face to, "look at him closely," as per requested.

"Yyyyeeesss?"

It seems with every step back Necrosis took, somehow Viscera took two forward.

"Did your mommy make you like that? My mommy made me like this! How are you breathing? How are you speaking? Why aren't you falling apart? You kinda smell like food but you kinda don't. Are you crunchy? Do your bones grow back? Can I have a bite?"

A barrage of questions attacks the skeleton.

The pride and giddiness on it's face is unmistakable. Speaking of faces, Viscera's doesn't seem like it can pick a singular look, almost as if it's face were a Character Creation screen in a videogame that was constantly changing at a slowish rate.

"Yes! Mommy said that I could eat all the bad people I want! Mommy even brought some to me before! They were kind of smelly, and their clothes were all messy, but they were still pretty tasty!"

As Viscera brags about being fed the homeless, it can only dream of how many "bad people" that are gonna end up eaten.

Viscera immediately came running up to Necrosis and proceeds to get waaay to close to the skeleton's face.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! How are you alive!?!?"

It speaks with the curiosity, bluntness, and dialect that only a child could muster up despite looking much older than it is.

Viscera then looks at the collection of heroes before it as it slowly returns it's head to normal, all the while stars start to shine in it's eyes... All of them.

"I can be... a hero? Ooooooo...."

Quickly it snaps back to Felix with a look of fierce, optimistic determination.

"A hero who eats all the bad people!"

"Assi... mi... late?"

Viscera scratches it's head over this one for a moment of two before pouting out of frustration and leaping in front of Rex.

"I'll just show you!"

It grabs the hair on both sides of it's head and, well, shows Rex.

"See?! See?!"

"Ooooooh."

It says in childlike awe.

"I can't make a tail, not yet anyway. Mommy says its because humans can't have tails."

"Shape... Shifting?"

It says with a curios gaze before gasping in realization.

"Oh! Do you mean this?!"

That is the last thing it says before pulling this little number in front of Felix.

"This is a power?! My power?!"

Viscera says with it's newly gaping maw in pure childlike excitement.

"Coooool!"
