The differences that each oni possessed were numerous. Whilst Maysoon had her tendrils and soft skin, she couldn’t deny the practical applications that a sturdy chitinous shell would provide. Never having to deal with something simple as a paper cut or having a bad hair day was a huge boon. She couldn’t help but silently wonder if it was possible to dye the exoskeleton different colours.
The squidling nodded as Salmon echoed forth the Ocean Mother’s words. He was right. In a society everyone played their part to further the goals and the prosperity.

Anything that looks shrivelled and dried out is of no worth. It wouldn’t even make good flour. As long as you keep the seeds dry they should survive the trip. Though I do understand if it is difficult and your mission should always come first.” She explained.
