So if this thing has done this before then it must of dominated the minds of countless unlucky demons and humans for centuries.

If a bear eats a woodsman do they gain their strength and knowledge?

Or for a more relevant example a Bloodborne Brainsucker sucking on a Hunter.

It doesn't matter who they consume if the one eating is just a animal.

 

[Hyp3rB14d3]

If a man eats the heart of another, do they gain their courage?

 

[Plotvitalnpc]

Well, I doubt we'll end up doing anything but running from Dummy here, with the current plans.
When we first met him, he was established as rather indestructible.

[RoninSword]

Is it not possibly to try and figure out how to contract with these beings using the Oni somehow?

 

[Ψυχή]

I look forward to doing jutsu like Fuu's with our glorious glitter, let alone what else we might manage...

As an aside, is this the first time Dummy actually talked to us? I feel like being recognized only now as someone worth talking to vs prey seems significant enough for more banter than just "Get in mah belly~!", y'know?

Even if we're still prey for now. Take advantage of his loosened lips, then?

You know this will make an amazing story for Mio later

"One day i MIO met a beast from beyond the realms of man an ever shifting soul devouring parasite with the ability to shift forms, steal bloodlines (although pretty badly it's sharingan was terrible) and puppet the bodies of it's hosts consuming them with an unquenchable bloodthirst, naturally i MIO attached it to myself - as i was currently lacking an arm at the time - and then invaded it's mind as i MIO did not want to deal with it's shenanigans, at this point i had worked up quite an appetite so i MIO followed the only logical course of action and ate the thing with my brain to show it who was boss"

or tl;dr Mio once met a shoggoth....the shoggoth thought she was unnatural.

We just got a massive power up and our full ability to do jutsu back, are no longer weak from hunger and have claws that rip through stone and you want to run without even trying?

 

[Plotvitalnpc]

Actually, I wonder if MIO is much stronger overall now.
Well, I still wouldn't imagine we'll kill him.

...
Dumb thought
"The effort involved in chasing and eating I, MIO, cannot possibly be less than catching and killing a bigger meal at this point, can it?"

This is exactly what we're dealing with here... ~_~

Hell we could even actually TRY to hypnotize him into being our servant again using what we learned from delving into the Arm's mind.

Also, important to note: my 'exit strategy' doesn't exclude "fighting", just leaving it to techniques vs "beast mode (?)"

Dude... trying to talk our way out is like a steak trying to talk it's way out of a tiger's belly.

If you want to minionize him we're going to have to at LEAST kick his was first.

Either way, that's fine — though even still you're coloring it too strongly; 'minionize' isn't what I'm going for.

Gaining information from the encounter since he's actually talking to us / out loud about us is plenty. I'm basically leaving Mio's response to the QM — to attack or straight-up bail — but prioritizing 'information'.

Plus this 'tiger' is talking about their meal aloud before eating it. Just taking the opportunity (and being IC) to reply CX

What if the oni is the boss summons?

Call me crazy, but rushing in with a slightly less empty belly, no plan, and no grasp on any new abilities seems slightly dumb as hell.

Going days without sleep in order to MAYBE make a technique in a manner that we were told would kill most people was also dumb as hell... just saying.

A piece of The host's knowledge of everything. It's memories! It's insider knowledge of physical and political Terrain of this particular hell dimension. It's fighting and chakra abilities.

Click to shrink...

...Did you miss the part about it barely being one step removed from a gibbering beast, and toooootally uninterested in politics or groups or names or much of any of the things you just touted as hoping/expecting to get out of it?

You wouldn't ask a local drunken street bum that gets in raging fights about that town's culture and political climate - don't basically do the same thing here, and expect not-equivalently-trash-answers.

So if this thing has done this before then it must of dominated the minds of countless unlucky demons and humans for centuries.

Click to shrink...

Having successfully taken over a host =/= dominating it, in the sense (as I think you mean) of acquiring what that creature was.

Heck, we just now got a personal example of a way to 'best' a parasitic companion and not get mental bonuses out of it... and would you really say you don't think this arm-entity would eat things?

Because I totally think it would do that, all the time - big part of why it was so shocked/outraged at Mio's choice, even!

If a bear eats a woodsman do they gain their strength and knowledge?

Yeah I strongly question whether we'll succeed here... BUT.

But on the flip side, I feel like Mio WOULD TOTALLY TRY ANYWAY, so...

As Xicree asserted, let us never forget we are not playing someone sane and rational and cautious and any of that other stuff; we are playing THE GREAT DEVIL QUEEN MIO, in all her self-aggrandizing, hasty-decision-making, nose-tweaking-just-because-she-can, look-at-me-more-dammit glory!
