This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, the reason, as I understand it, that inhumi become human in
dream-travel is because they have human souls -- souls stolen from
humans. (Insert meditation on "the blood is the life" here.) So an
inhumX who has a human soul will become human in dream-travel no
matter where they wind up.

An interesting question is, before they began stealing human
blood/souls, what kind of souls, if any, did these inhumi have?
