I finally remembered something! There was a man who visited me - I think it must have been at my house. He said he was part of something called Human Activists for Rare Monsters, and he wanted me to help protect a rare monster for him called a Putty.

It was really cute! But we ran into a lot of monsters when we followed it... We had no choice but to fight. ...Did I normally do that?

There was a large monster that attacked it, and I remember we were able to rescue Putty, but... I don't remember what happened after that. I hope he's safe...

...Human activists for rare monsters?

[bravegreen]

Yes, that's right.

[wontdieifkilled]

...I can't understand why something like that would be.

[bravegreen]

Huh? Why not?

[wontdieifkilled]

Why would anybody want to protect monsters?

[bravegreen]

Er... to stop them from dying out?

[wontdieifkilled]

Is that a real problem, though?

[bravegreen]

But it was just trying to run away... I don't mind protecting a monster like that.

[wontdieifkilled]

Why would a monster run away, though? I thought monsters attacked people.

[bravegreen]

Not all of them... I think. And if they do, they must have a reason for it, right? Like protecting their homes, or...

[wontdieifkilled]

I don't think the monsters I've had to fight were attacking because we were threatening their home.

[bravegreen]

They weren't? But then... why were they attacking?

[Derp.]

[wontdieifkilled]

...Because of instinct?

[bravegreen]

Like... an instinct to fight?

[wontdieifkilled]

Or an instinct to attack humans.

[bravegreen]

Humans-?!

[wontdieifkilled]

...Is...something wrong?

[bravegreen]

Well, just--

They only attack humans, specifically?

[wontdieifkilled]

...Well, I guess not. There was that troll girl with us the one time.

[bravegreen]

[....Everything about this conversation is so confusing!]

So they attack trolls and humans, or...?

[wontdieifkilled]

I'd bet they attack anything that lives in Sirocco.

[bravegreen]

But there has to be a reason... I don't think even monsters would just attack like that. Maybe if they were hungry, or hurt, or scared...

[wontdieifkilled]

Whatever the reason, we had to fight back.

[bravegreen]

[She looks a little down at the thought, but nods.]

...If you were attacked, I can understand that.

[overwinters]

So you're saying there are monsters that attack you and monsters that don't?

[ video ]

[bravegreen]

I... think so? The one we were trying to catch was just trying to run. It didn't seem aggressive at all.

[ video ]

[overwinters]

But how do you know the difference between them? Only when they start to run?

[ video ]

[bravegreen]

I think so... But I'm sure the ones that attacked us must have had a reason, too.

[ video ]

[overwinters]

Aren't they maybe just like some animals? Those attack out of instinct too, right?

[ video ]

[bravegreen]

But... it's to defend themselves, isn't it?

[ video ]

[overwinters]

... Really? [ blink. ] Is that why they do it?

[ video ]

[bravegreen]

I thought it was.

[ video ]

[overwinters]

I never knew why they did it, only that they did it. But.. in that case, they're the same as people, right?

[ video ]

[bravegreen]

[She nods.]

Right. Or at least... that's what I think.

[mokomanjuu]

Was it as cute as Mokona?

[bravegreen]

Eheheh... I couldn't say. You're both too cute!

[gogoghostpowers]

Human Activists for Rare Monsters?

Uh...what did they do, exactly?

[bravegreen]

They protect rare monsters from being hunted or mistreated. The one we were looking for had been captured and locked away, but Mr. Canary helped it escape. But after that it ran away, so that's why we had to go looking for it.

[gogoghostpowers]

Did any of their stuff actually...help the monsters and make things better for them?

[bravegreen]

...They say they do, so they must, right? I hadn't heard of them until I met Mr. Canary though.

[gogoghostpowers]

But when they were on their own...were they okay? I mean, I'm guessing that people didn't like them much, if they were monsters, so did they get hurt by people or something once they were set free?

[bravegreen]

...I'm not sure. I think people mostly left them alone, but...

[She pauses for a moment before sighing.]

If only I could remember...
