Inhumi secret

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.

You can be good without being that good, and the inhumi might
naturally worry about the worst case, which is humans wiping
them out.

However, this is a good point, and it might be fun to speculate.
If the inhumi picked up self-reliance from self-reliant humans,
would they want to work for their blood or beef tea? ?As
messengers? ?Entertainers? ?Clerics, which Quetzal was good
at? ?Isn't there something about them?not being good at manual
labor?
