Revisiting more non-ghoul anomalous persons on campus(although I do think there'd be something to Moby being the only one. . . .)

I remember posting about a Gorgon and I think maybe she would do well as like. A Darkwick General nurse. Because DG is an inpatient facility, they don't do outpatient work. So if she, as somebody who is able to curse people(or, well, it really depends on how much of one's body has turned to stone if it's an illness or a curse,) were to take an interest in long term curse care, I think that would make sense right?

And then I thought of another OC. . .a minotaur who teaches(or is currently substituting for the person who normally teaches) Enigmatology. . .obviously she specializes in anomalous mazes and escape rooms that use anomalies and the like.

I just. Want to explore the idea of anomalous peoples being integrated into society or into the Institute and its staff. Because while I'm sure Moby is a rare case, I'd like to think there are at least a handful of others. The Anomalous Investigation Institute is everywhere in the world after all.

I imagine none of them are particularly well regarded, especially by the general students. Understandably this makes them keep to themselves more to avoid abuse(and avoid causing a scene or inconveniencing others or risking things being turned around on them) which tends to reflect poorly on them because people don't see or understand what they're going through or think that if there was a problem they'd get help from Darkwick or the Institute(of course this is discouraged--don't wanna ruin the lives of students who have so much ahead of them or who will contribute to the world and Institute at large! Unlike them who, as anomalies, simply aren't allowed to be in public at all which makes them less valuable. . .even among the Institute in many places around the world the prejudice against anomalies being 'people' is strong)

But they're passionate about what they do! And about a future where maybe anomalous societies/peoples can at least be somewhat apart of the world--even if they have to be hidden away they could at least be part of the Institute and make things better for anomalies and people and maybe someday there could be a world where they all live in harmony, as one. Maybe they don't all believe that but doing something for everybody's lives is good right?

I also like to think there's a school-like facility for young anomalous persons taken in by the Institute to be raised/trained/taught to be contributing members of human society [in the background because they obviously can't just be out there]. And maybe one of them could be a Darkwick student. And this is the first time they're among humans meant to be their 'peers' and kind of among human society and it's all very nerve-wracking especially when they aren't treated well. . .but they still try and fit in and contribute and such.

I just think there's a potential for exploration there. Of person-like anomalies and how they exist within the microsociety of the Institute's network.

(also all of them are scared of Towa--because anomalies are often afraid of Towa--and Taiga--because he just looks at them and gets hungry lol.)

#danie yells at tokyo debunker #like i feel like people forget that the general students don't really regard the ghouls well on average #like they must treat anomalous people like moby even worse #i think that's a big part of why moby doesn't often go out. it's just. not comfortable walking around someplace where people look at you #like you're less than them. and what are you supposed to do confront them all? especially when your superiors don't care?#idk. i just think it's a neat thing to explore.#also if an anomalous student was a yokai. . .would they be auto placed into hotarubi? :|a #obscuary is for non-human GHOULS not just nonhumans. so i would assume they wouldn't be placed there. maybe jabberwock #but jabberwock may also be considered 'ghoul only' as opposed to :no general students'#but a yokai is specifically a japanese anomaly. and hotarubi is the house that deals with specificlaly japanese anomalies #so would their soul be weighed or would they just say 'you're in hotarubi' and be done with it. . . . .#just. i like worldbuilding haha so i think about stuff like this i guess #i think about how all of this must be for the general students/regular human staff too #the ones who aren't like clearly researchers and specialists regarding anonalies like the professors we know so far #like if you don't have a pre-understanding of anomalies or something if this wasn't part of your life before then like #then when all of this stuff is new it must be so much more jarring. i wish the pc was in first year classes instead of mostly second #so we could have seen first years' reaction to moby. get a feel for that kind of thing
