dr sigura! i heard u got ur own fish tank :] what kinda fishies do u have in there? do they have names?

"Oh, did you now? How curious."

"Nothing exotic, unfortunately, as I don't have the time for exceedingly specific care requirements; molly fish, neon tetras, and corydoras, those sorts of fish."

"I have meant to name them, but I haven't named something outside of our anomalies before- Ah, perhaps I could inquire with the others for name suggestions, hm?"

Images and Propaganda/Info under the cut !

Odarem: Will treat you right.. leans towards being a Pleasure Top with ppl and generally Loves to please.. leans towards slower more romantic vibes but he's flexible and willing to try new things,

Julius: Submissive as hell typically, though he does have his rare, more mild dom moments.. can top or bottom just fine.. easily flustered and shy if you're into that, Surprising communicative tho as well,

Snow: Sub top is his main preference, but he'll bottom too... He will do p much whatever you want him to do.. pretty noisy type, can be tame or a freak w/ it, but he's always v attentive,

Doxiou: Very go-with-the-flow type, generally leans lightly more dominant but can go either way and is more than happy to top or bottom.. very experienced lay, but he isn't the reactive/noisy type honestly, he prefers to make his partner react a lot instead,

Reshaper: Hard Dom bottom and he is rarely flexible on that... Will top for certain people if he likes you enough, but getting him to sub is slim to none... He will use his magic to enhance things and make you feel good tho,

Dollmaker: Leans dominant, but can settle for something more neutral dynamic-wise as well.. very flirty and theatrical type, very willing to be a weird freak or have something more laid back and fun (but also he's French, so,)

Starseer: I think this man is very much a verse switch... he prefers things calmer and slower-paced though, the intimate and sensual type usually.. Not a talkative man but when he really gets into it he can actually be pretty noisy.... also if ur a dragon fucker.. need I say more,

Behavioral studies are neat! same with psych! But are those what you do for real or is that just unrelated cover story stuff, Kit? I should clarify, of course- I've been a long-time background supporter of ANCR and am associated with + cleared by Dr. Doxiou, Kausil, and Glimra. I know abt the monsters,

"Aahh, my bad, my bad. It's hard for me to remember every face that I can speak plainly with. You'll have to forgive me."

"Honestly, it's not too far from the truth, though. I still do behavioral studies, just more for anomalies than animals. It's my job to learn all about how they work, from a more psychological standpoint, rather than a biological one.

Half of my work is collaborating with Glim to create a comfortable environment for the anomalies, catering to their wants and needs to make them feel secure enough to exhibit their natural behaviors. The other half is introducing various sorts of stimuli in order to trigger reactionary behaviors. I usually do not begin the latter work until I have a good bit of data from the former, as not all anomalies will fully forgive my... gentle prodding."

[astrumocs]

Dr. Doxiou tell us about some of your other coworkers!

"There are an awful lot of them to tell you all about, but I can name a few more notable ones I'm familiar with if you'd like?"

"I've already mentioned Kausil, but there's also Dr. Kit, Glimra, and Bexrin. Ah, Locke and Vasiko as well, of course. All exceptional staff- I am amused by their quirks and antics, but they're all very dedicated people above anything."

"If you wanted to know a bit more about any of them in particular, I'm sure I could provide that as well if you can't ask them yourself."

[astrumocs]

i’ll be your prisoner anytime dox

"Fascinating comment to make. If you let me study you, perhaps I can indulge us both."

> They're being playful with you, amused by your words.

[astrumocs]

Dox what does ANCR stand for?

"Alternian Nature Conservation and Restoration, of course."

^ This is a lie, but you're encouraged to, in turn, lie about your importance for a better answer.

[astrumocs]

hi dr dox :3

"Oh, what's this? A visitor? You must be here due to the public relations visits we've started allowing recently."

"And you know me by name as well- Tell me, did they write a glowing review of my work here in the visitors pamphlet?"

[astrumocs]

doxiou: if you could have dinner with up to any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be?

"You know, I'm not sure I have any names to offer you- none that you would recognize, most certainly."

"There are other researchers or scientists I would enjoy picking at the brains of, but my interests have never quite been in other trolls as much, aha."

[astrumocs]

is the white in your hair natural, Dox? pardon me if someones already asked <:)

"It would be natural indeed. I presume it to be a birthmark of sorts- or perhaps a natural coloration to signal to my lusus more easily, given our matching hair."

^ There's a bit more to it than that, in a way.

[astrumocs]

i'll step up to that then dox

"Aha, two volunteers already? Careful, you'll make an anon blush, and that just wouldn't do.."

"You may objectify at your leisure, though, and I'll be in even higher spirits while I work. Perhaps I'll even hum a little ditty to myself in delight."

@damistrolls

[astrumocs]

omg omg hi dr dox 😊 my name is damien, and i've heard really good things abt ur research at ANCR

before you get suspicious about me knowing more than i should, im basically like... a contributor to the place, so you don't gotta worry

can u tell me what its like working at ANCR though? :0 this is my first time actually being here

"Mhm, Damien the Contributor, is it? Give me a moment, I won't be but a second."

> Doxiou pulls out their palmhusk and seems to look for something before they nod, ears wiggling, giving you a look that indicates an unseen smile.

"Aha, of course, Damien- I knew the name was familiar. One of our most generous contributors indeed.. what a delight to have you visiting our facility. A warm welcome to you."

"I cannot divulge all the details, of course, but working at ANCR is quite exciting. As you know, we contain the more peculiar and dangerous little beasties roaming Alternia proper."

"I myself approve and decide on the methods of research my team will take with our subjects to best learn more of their natures, behaviors, and so on."

[astrumocs]

dox who started ANCR?

"That would likely be the first member of the council, of course- but they're quite fond of their privacy, I'm afraid, so I won't be sharing any names."

^ Doxiou couldn't tell you even if they wanted to, for numerous reasons.

[astrumocs]

Dox how do you handle those that want to leave their positions at ANCR?

"What a grisly topic, Spec... They're either fed to the anomalies or Mr. Kausil grinds them into a fine paste. It's a tragic loss of capable minds, but such is the way of things."

> You get the sense he's probably messing with you, but he sounds so matter-of-fact it's hard to be sure.

[astrumocs]

of course !! but i assume u have to make some deliverables in order to secure funding. or does your funding come from people who think this is yknow. for regular degular fauna?

"Ah, the financial aspect- While I don't handle the major dealings of such, I do have my hands in a part of it. ANCR does make a portion of its money from false fundraising, yes, but most of it is made through other means."

"Most of our resources are stolen or gained through dishonest means. Such is the price of protecting ourselves, the public, and our darling anomalies."

[astrumocs]

anomalies are cool (i would know) and all but does the ANCR really serve any practical purpose? :/

"ANCR serves plenty of purposes, but the obvious would be that the most dangerous objects, beasties, and critters are all locked away and unable to cause harm to the public masses."

"Losses are indeed incurred while doing what we do, but always less than there would be otherwise. It almost seems noble, doesn't it?"

"Mind you, Spec, I don't really have an investment in that part of things. I'm simply a curious individual by nature who delights in learning about these wondrous and peculiar things."

"So long as I get to pursue my interests, the practicalities are only a bonus aspect to me."

[astrumocs]

dox i have a few this-or-that's to ask (of dire importance, as usual)

sweet or salty? cats or dogs? sunrise or sunset? beach or pool? rain or shine? warm or cold weather? silver or gold?

"I'm beginning to worry, with the amount of dire importance lately. Perhaps I'll have to get you locked up..."

> He's probably joking but doesn't elaborate.

"Now, to your questions: Salty, though I have no issues with sweet, Dogs- though you know, I think my answer may have been cats up until more recently, aha."

"Now, where was I? Hm... Sunsets, I'd say. I enjoy rising early and catching the last glimpses on the horizon. I suppose I'd choose pools, if only for convenience- However, I prefer salt to chlorine." "As for the weather, I adore rain. I'm a bit particular in that I prefer things more temperate, but the cold is more convenient for my style of dress. And I suspect you could surmise based on my attire, but I prefer silvers."

"I've never felt quite so studied before, what an intriguing feeling."
