Tongue Eater Every voice is just another mouth to borrow

2
You possess the ability to communicate with humans.
Used by Riku Nakamura, Created by donniecesar.
(This Effect may or may not be obviously Alien. It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

Once fused with a cunning alien parasite gifted in predatory mimicry, Riku’s mind and body gained the power to analyze, replicate, and speak any language heard. The parasite’s instinct for survival rewired his motor functions, adapting his muscles and vocal cords to mimic every nuance—accent, cadence, even subtle emotional cues. It listens, learns, transforms—erasing barriers, blending into crowds, and unearthing secrets never meant for outsiders. What began as camouflage for the symbiont’s protection has become Riku’s ultimate edge, rendering him a ghost in any gathering and a dangerous polyglot in a world of secrets.

You may understand and communicate to humans as if you are fluent in a relevant language.

"Itamae style: Usugiri" draws inspiration from the precision and finesse displayed in the traditional Usugiri cutting technique employed by Itamae. Just as the Itamae utilize their delicate knife skills to create thin, precise cuts in delicate ingredients, Machida applies a similar philosophy to his swordplay, but in a combat context.

The connection becomes evident in the way both techniques emphasize control, accuracy, and respect for the subject. In Usugiri, the goal is to cut ingredients so finely that their natural flavors are preserved, demonstrating the chef's skill in enhancing the essence of the food. Similarly, Machida's approach is not to inflict severe harm but to precisely incapacitate his opponent while minimizing undue suffering.
