This is Me

Nhysa knew things. Maybe not all the things, but knew what he'd done before while being an actor. He technically still was an actor, but the other -- the atharim part that was no more. He was surprised he had yet to see an Atharim come knocking on his door carrying a bullet with his name on it. Not yet at least.

"That is an oni. Or was. Now it's a stuffed head with glass eyes. The taxadermist was enthralled and intrigued by the challenge the thick armor plated skin gave him. Took him much longer to stuff than he estimated. And the price also tripled." Li chuckled, "He couldn't do the whole body for two reasons -- one I didn't think he could reconstruct the missing hide at the neck from the shotgun that decapitated him, and he wouldn't have had the materials on hand to do it -- making it even more expensive. Not that money was an issue. At least not on my end." He wasn't bragging. Just stating a fact, the poor taxadermist and yelped rather loudly when Li showed him the head. He wondered if no other Atharim had done the same. Oni were not rare, but they were fearsome. Decapitating it had been the only way to do it and close range with the shotgun. And there was the richote pattern. Li took a few bounced pellets to his shins that day. Fucking Oni.
