현대 미믹 (1)

이라고 생각합니다. 아마도요. 일전에 만들었던 미믹 생태를 논문화, 그리고 간간히 후타나리 하면 보이는 말도 안되는 체구와 그것, 그리고 그것에서 나오는 하얀 것의 양을 보고 실제로 저런 성별이 존재한다면? 을 상상하며 작성되어 있습니다. 남성과 여성에 대한 것은 없음으로, 필요하다면 가장 마지막의 문단을 복사하시면 됩니다. 후타나리가 실존했다는 가정하에, 남성과 여성이 어떤 방향으로 진화했을 지에 대한 내용입니다. 미믹은 논문 안에 인터뷰 형식의 내용들이 있는데, 한글로 아래 적어 놨으니 한 번 봐봐....재미...있을거야. 아마도...? 응, 그러길 바라...
(고블린은 추후 코노시게가 만든 다른 고블린 정리해서 논문화 한뒤 올릴 예정..)

후타나리의 대두로 인한 역사적 변화
여성: 가정/정교 작업 중심으로 진화
후타나리의 안정적인 보호 아래, 여성은 사회적으로 가정 관리 및 섬세한 생산·정리 역할에 더욱 집중하게 된다.
시간이 흐르며 여성의 신체는 후타나리와 유사한 크고 풍만한 체형(가슴·엉덩이)으로 점차 강화된다.
대신 힘의 방향은 거친 근력이 아니라, 손의 섬세함·정밀함으로 진화하여
세밀한 공예, 봉합, 가공, 조리, 의복/도구의 미세 조정 같은 디테일 기반 기술에 탁월해진다.
남성: 더 작아지지만 ‘약해지지 않는’ 방향으로 특화
후타나리에게 전투력이 밀리면서, 남성은 점차 체구가 작아지고 “귀여운 오토코노코”에 가까운 외형으로 변해간다.
하지만 이는 쇠약화가 아니라 역할에 맞춘 방향 전환이다.
남성은 특유의 근골격계로 인해
무거운 장비의 제작/조립,
여성들이 다루기 어려운 고중량 재료 기반 도구 제작,
그리고 압축된 근육을 이용한 순간적인 폭발력(순간 힘)
쪽으로 점점 전문화된다.

Through interviews and field research, we examine how mimics—once predatory creatures—have adapted to modern urban environments, forming diverse occupational groups, and how they interact with humans and other species. The findings confirm that mimics have established themselves as essential members of modern social infrastructure, beyond simple symbiotic relationships.\n\n## Introduction\n\n### Historical Background\n\nMimics were, very long ago, predatory creatures that disguised themselves as containers—chests, boxes, barrels—to ambush prey. Humans were not a necessity in their diet, merely the most convenient prey due to their curiosity toward such objects. However, as civilization advanced and such containers fell out of everyday use, mimics faced extinction. Their traditional disguises became ineffective; a treasure chest in a modern street would arouse suspicion rather than curiosity.\n\nThe surviving mimics adapted through a path of coexistence rather than predation. Utilizing their innate shapeshifting abilities, they began transforming into objects that still exist in modern society—objects with container-like structures that could house their true form.\n\n### Research Objectives\n\nThis study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of modern mimics' ecological characteristics by occupational type and illuminate their daily lives and social roles through interviews with actual practitioners.\n\n---\n\n## Biological Characteristics\n\n### True Form\n\nA mimic's true body resembles a beautiful humanoid upper half—no lower body or legs exist. This core self normally resides hidden within their outer shell and can emerge from any opening within themselves at will. Due to their alluring appearance, mimics only reveal their true form to those they trust or feel intimate with. The beauty of their true form varies by individual, and particularly attractive mimics are highly valued.\n\n### Internal Structure\n\nThe interior of a mimic's outer shell is not filled with muscle or flesh, but with numerous tentacles. These tentacles perform the following functions:\n\n- Manipulation and movement of objects that enter the interior\n- Supporting the humanoid body's free movement within\n- Extending outward when needed to point at or manipulate objects\n- Controlling each component of the outer shell\n\nThanks to this tentacle structure, mimics can perfectly perform the functions of whatever object they have transformed into.\n\n### Outer Shell\n\nMimics possess remarkable elasticity and spatial manipulation within their outer shells, allowing them to accommodate their humanoid upper body within surprisingly compact forms. Their outer shells, while appearing mechanical or inanimate, are biological extensions of themselves—they feel sensations through them and can control every component.\n\n### Diet and Metabolism\n\nEach mimic can only consume specific types of materials, and this varies from individual to individual. This dietary restriction is determined at birth and cannot be changed later in life. The majority of mimics can only eat meat, like most living creatures. However, some rare individuals are born with the ability to consume inorganic materials—paper, plastic, metal cans, and similar substances. These dietary characteristics directly influence occupational choices.\n\n---\n\n## Social Integration\n\nMimics have been part of everyday life for generations. In modern society, it is entirely normal to deposit trash into a bin that politely reminds you of the correct sorting, ride an elevator that greets you by name, or play an arcade game against the machine itself. Children grow up seeing mimics as naturally as they see streetlights or vending machines—they are simply part of the urban landscape.\n\nNo one bats an eye at a mimic any more than they would at a bus or a coffee machine. When an elevator mimic pops out to complain about spilled coffee, the appropriate reaction is to apologize—not to be shocked that the elevator is alive. They are neighbors, coworkers, service providers—woven so deeply into the fabric of society that imagining a world without them would be like imagining a world without electricity.\n\n---\n\n## Ecological Studies by Occupational Type\n\n### Section 1: Trash Bin Type\n\n#### Overview\n\nOnly mimics born with the rare ability to consume inorganic materials work in this profession. They only accept the type of waste they can digest—paper, plastic, or metal—rejecting anything else from the start. This contributes significantly to improved recycling accuracy.\n\n#### Rejection Mechanism\n\nTrash bin type mimics can observe approaching garbage through the disposal opening, where their humanoid body inside can see. When garbage they cannot eat approaches:\n\n- They extend a tentacle or arm to point toward the correct trash bin\n- Or they verbally announce \"Over there, please\"\n\nMimics with impatient personalities or those who particularly dislike certain types of garbage—feeling disgust toward specific waste similar to how people cringe at food waste—often alert people before the garbage even gets close.\n\n#### Individual Personality Differences\n\nThe difference between verbal and physical guidance stems from personality differences among mimics. Depending on whether a mimic is shy, proactive, or energetic, their guidance methods vary accordingly.\n\n#### Regional Preference Survey\n\nAccording to statistical surveys, certain regions showed a preference for mimics who provide verbal guidance:\n\n| Regional Characteristics | Reason for Preference |\n|--------------------------|----------------------|\n| Areas with many young residents | Can replace the boring time of sorting and disposing garbage with fun conversations with mimics |\n| Areas with many elderly residents | Appreciated for providing companionship |\n\n#### Field Interview: Mimic A, Recycling Center Employee (12 years)\n\n> **Q: What made you start this job?**\n>\n> A: \"I could only eat paper since birth. At first I thought it was inconvenient, but after starting this job, I feel it's actually a blessing. I get to eat my fill every day and get paid for it. (laughs)\"\n>\n> **Q: What's the hardest part?**\n>\n> A: \"People who bring food waste. Even from far away, the smell... I can't help but shout 'Over there!!' They get startled, and I feel embarrassed. But I really can't stand that smell.\"\n>\n> **Q: When do you feel rewarded?**\n>\n> A: \"There's a grandmother who comes every day. I'm not sure if she comes to throw away garbage or to talk to me. But when she says 'Thank you again today' before leaving, that's when I feel a bit emotional.\"\n\n---\n\n### Section 2: Mailbox Type\n\n#### Overview and Historical Significance\n\nThe mailbox type is the most historically significant occupational type in the history of mimic social integration. The first mailbox type mimic was an individual who saw people putting things into red mailboxes and thought, \"If I transform into that, I can receive food every day.\"\n\nThis event made a decisive contribution to mimics integrating into society. Thanks to this first transformed mimic, other mimics began to imitate, and interaction with people began. In a way, this can be seen as an occupation that brought a major turning point in history.\n\n#### Main Duties\n\n- Storage and sorting of letters that enter the interior\n- Distinguishing prank letters\n- Checking validity of stamps and addresses\n- Retrieving and handing mail to postal workers according to their delivery routes\n\nThanks to this, post offices experienced a significant reduction in mail sorting work, greatly improving operational efficiency.\n\n#### The Mail Concealment Incident and Countermeasures\n\nIn the past, some mimics intentionally hid mail belonging to people they didn't like. The following countermeasures were subsequently implemented:\n\n1. Use of special marking paper on all mail (material indigestible by mimics)\n2. Internal scanning to check for mail that should have been delivered but wasn't\n3. The day's last postal worker conducts inspections\n\n#### Field Interview: Mimic B, Residential Area Mailbox (8 years)\n\n> **Q: What's the appeal of mailbox work?**\n>\n> B: \"It's fascinating that people's lives pass through me. Wedding invitations, acceptance letters, sometimes even love letters... Of course, I don't read them! But you can kind of tell just from the envelope.\"\n>\n> **Q: Has anything changed since the mail concealment incident?**\n>\n> B: \"Honestly, I was upset that all of us became suspects because of a few mimics. Now we can't hide anything even if we wanted to because of the marking paper. It doesn't affect me since I never did that anyway... but getting inspected every day doesn't feel great.\"\n>\n> **Q: Any memorable episodes?**\n>\n> B: \"There was a young man who came to put in letters every day. To the same address. But no reply ever came. After a few months, he stopped coming, and I was worried. Then one day, I saw them walking by holding hands. I felt so proud.\"\n\n---\n\n### Section 3: Arcade Machine Type\n\n#### Overview\n\nArcade machine type mimics have a unique ecology. They do not accept coins; instead, customers purchase food from mimic meal vendors within the arcade. Providing food to the mouth located where the coin slot used to be allows you to play games. If the food matches the mimic's taste, they may even give you extra credits.\n\n#### Game Download Mechanism\n\nWhen a mimic transforms into an arcade machine, they become able to download games compatible with that machine. This is equivalent to games being engraved into the mimic's brain, limbic system, or neural bundles. Therefore, mimics who choose this occupation generally fall into two categories:\n\n1. Mimics who truly love games and want to become one with them\n2. Mimics who don't care about games and don't mind knowing everything from endings to settings\n\n#### In-Game Intervention\n\nThe mimic's humanoid body can appear directly within the game. However, such intervention only occurs **when the mimic likes that particular player**. Normally, they do not intervene in the game as a machine.\n\nServices provided to favored players:\n- Help when progress is blocked by bugs\n- Rescue when about to die in-game\n- Catching in-game monsters by hand\n- Grabbing and moving the player character forward\n\n#### The Arcade Cheating Scandal\n\nIn the past, mimic players who concealed their previous occupation and participated in game tournaments or streams were caught en masse, causing a major scandal. Because games were engraved in their nervous system, they knew everything—endings, patterns, hidden elements.\n\nSince then, recognition tags have been assigned to any individual who has ever worked in this occupation. These tags must be registered before employment or streaming, and proceeding without registration can result in punishment for falsifying one's history.\n\n#### Field Interview: Mimic C, Arcade Employee (5 years)\n\n> **Q: Why did you choose arcade machine?**\n>\n> C: \"I'm a game otaku. Being able to become one with my favorite game—there's no reason not to. When the game first gets engraved in your brain... I can't explain it in words. It was ecstatic.\"\n>\n> **Q: Have you ever helped a player?**\n>\n> C: \"There's a regular who comes often. They kept dying at the same stage, so one time I secretly moved their character. You should've seen their face—'Huh? Huh?' It was so cute. But I don't do it every time. Only occasionally when I've received something delicious.\"\n>\n> **Q: What do you think about the cheating scandal?**\n>\n> C: \"Because of those people, all of us have to wear tags now. It's frustrating. But I understand. Playing in tournaments while knowing all the game content—that's fraud.\"\n\n---\n\n### Section 4: Claw Machine Type\n\n#### Overview\n\nClaw machine type mimics draw customers with their beautiful bodies visible inside, serving as both attraction and advertisement. Being living creatures rather than machines, they never malfunction or require maintenance—a significant economic advantage. Despite the high price of 5 dollars per play, customers never stop coming thanks to the mimic's allure.\n\n#### Claw Machine Type Classification\n\nClaw machine types are divided into three categories based on their internal presentation:\n\n##### Type 1: Harness Type\n\nThe most common form, where the mimic wears a special harness inside the machine.\n\n**Harness Structure:**\n- Not a typical thick-strapped harness, but a special structure where multiple thin straps come together to form thick sections\n- Fits tightly against the body\n\n**Gameplay:**\n- Pulling with the claw results in failure\n- Pushing at the correct angle causes the thin straps to scatter—success\n- Very high difficulty encourages multiple attempts → revenue generation\n\n**Features:**\n- Both male and female mimics wear identically structured harnesses\n- The key is the counterintuitive approach: \"Don't pull, push\"\n- Even knowing the trick, execution is difficult\n\n##### Type 2: Aquatic Type\n\nThe mimic swims inside a water-filled interior.\n\n**Concept:**\n- \"Please save the drowning prince/princess!\"\n- Creates a mystical atmosphere like a mermaid\n\n**Gameplay:**\n- Insert money and choose from several buttons\n- Success drains some water\n- Failure: the mimic swims gracefully, blows a kiss, and says \"Come again next time~\"\n\n**Features:**\n- The beautiful underwater appearance is the main attraction\n- Gameplay stimulates the desire to rescue\n\n##### Type 3: Doll Type\n\nThe mimic hides among large stuffed dolls.\n\n**Structure:**\n- Filled with large stuffed dolls\n- The mimic's body is glimpsed through gaps between dolls\n- Only the head at the top is visible\n\n**Gameplay:**\n- As dolls are removed, more of the mimic's body is revealed\n- Creates a feeling of \"excavating something hidden\"\n\n**Features:**\n- The pleasure of gradual revelation\n- Dolls can also be won as prizes\n\n#### Field Interview: Mimic D, Shopping Mall Claw Machine (3 years, Harness Type)\n\n> **Q: What's the appeal of this job?**\n>\n> D: \"Watching people's expressions is fun. They challenge with faces like 'This time for sure!' and fail again. But sometimes there are people who are really good. Those are the ones who make me nervous.\"\n>\n> **Q: Has anyone succeeded?**\n>\n> D: \"Two people in three years. One was pure luck, and the other had really studied it. The moment of success when the straps scatter... it feels ticklish, embarrassing, and strange all at once.\"\n>\n> **Q: What about opinions that 5 dollars is expensive?**\n>\n> D: \"That's my body's worth. (laughs) Just kidding—this job is harder than you'd think. You have to stay in the same position all day, and it hurts when the claw hits you. I think 5 dollars is fair.\"\n\n---\n\n### Section 5: Elevator Type\n\n#### Overview\n\nThe elevator type has the most unique ecological structure among all types. While normal mimics imitate the exterior and fill their interior with tentacles, elevator types finish their interior with an additional layer of skin, creating a structure capable of carrying passengers inside.\n\n#### Structural Characteristics\n\n- Outer shell: Forms the entire elevator cabin\n- Interior: Finished with additional skin layer → passenger boarding space secured\n- True form: Usually hidden within walls, doors, or ceiling, emerging when desired\n- All announcements (\"Floor 3,\" \"Doors closing,\" etc.) are spoken directly by the mimic\n\n#### Advantages and Disadvantages Comparison\n\n| Advantages | Disadvantages |\n|------------|---------------|\n| Operates even during power outages | Service suspended when sick with cold/illness |\n| No maintenance required | Performance varies with condition as they are living beings |\n| Can make independent judgments in emergencies | Service quality varies by individual |\n\nOverall, compared to the maintenance costs of mechanical elevators, mimics are evaluated as far more efficient.\n\n#### Interview Collection\n\n##### Interview 1: Mimic E, Office Building Elevator (7 years)\n\n> **Q: What are the advantages of elevator work?**\n>\n> E: \"Going up and down on the cable every day is good exercise. It helps me stay healthy! Other mimics sometimes gain weight because they don't move much, but I don't have that worry.\"\n>\n> **Q: What's difficult?**\n>\n> E: \"My throat. I don't know how many times a day I say 'Floor 3' or 'Doors closing.' My throat gets scratchy after work. When I meet colleagues, we all talk about how to take care of our throats.\"\n\n##### Interview 2: Mimic F, Old Building Elevator (15 years)\n\n> **Q: Fifteen years makes you a veteran.**\n>\n> F: \"Yes, but honestly I've been anxious lately. The cable is too old. I've requested replacements several times but keep getting ignored. What if I fall... Does this make any sense?\"\n>\n> **Q: How did you handle it?**\n>\n> F: \"I finally reported it to the labor office. Mimics are workers too—isn't safety basic? There's been a lot of talk about mimic labor rights lately. I need to speak up for myself too.\"\n\n##### Interview 3: Mimic G, Mixed-Use Building Elevator (4 years) - Requested Anonymity\n\n> **Q: Any memorable episodes?**\n>\n> G: \"...Please keep this anonymous. Once, as soon as I closed the doors, two people suddenly started embracing each other and taking off clothes. Then they just... yes. I was so flustered I couldn't make any sound. I couldn't even say 'Floor 3'—I just stood there blankly.\"\n>\n> **Q: What happened after?**\n>\n> G: \"I memorized their faces. They still ride occasionally, but I can't make eye contact. But do they even know I'm alive? I don't think they do...\"\n\n##### Interview 4: Mimic H, Department Store Elevator (6 years)\n\n> **Q: Are there any difficult types of passengers?**\n>\n> H: \"People who don't wash. I'm the one trapped in a small space. When the doors close, the smell... it's really agonizing. Please shower before taking the elevator. This isn't just for me—it's for other passengers too.\"\n\n---\n\n## Conclusion\n\nThrough this study, we confirmed that modern mimics have established themselves as essential members of social infrastructure, beyond simple symbiotic relationships. Each occupational type has formed unique ecological characteristics and culture, which have developed in directions beneficial to both mimics and human society.\n\nHowever, as seen in cases such as the mail concealment incident, the arcade cheating scandal, and black companies' violations of mimic labor rights, various conflicts and problems have arisen during the process of mimics' social integration. To resolve these issues and achieve better coexistence, continued research on mimics and the establishment of institutional mechanisms to guarantee their rights will be necessary.\n\nMimics are no longer dungeon monsters. They are our neighbors, colleagues, and sometimes companions. When we throw garbage in trash bins, ride elevators, or put letters in mailboxes—we are living with them every day.\n\n---\n\n## References\n\n1.
