Re-Think, Re-Do

[Here we see this red-headed looking defeated, and stubborn, but sitting at a bench in a park]

Alright. I give up. I've lived in this place on my own and I've finally..accepted it. If I'm trapped here like the rest of you, then I should just accept my fate right?

But I have a question. How do you find your interests? I'm new to being quote "human", and honestly it just sucks being that way. How do you...live?

...Semi-promise that I won't be mean. I'm looking for a serious answer.

I'm a Demon, and it is harder to revert to old decrepit roots. [cue in some growls, and bitter grumbles]

Thoughts?

Found some comfort in bikes m'self. In my youth, horses were the big thing--closest I ever came to ridin' was on a motorcycle, so there's some comfort in that.

Re: ;audio

[fadedscarlet]

Hm..horses have dealt with a lot of your human-not you, all human-kind's -- shit, wars and all of that. I should get to know one...

...But they're so damn emotional..

.....Bikes, though. What else do you like?

["Demon", for Ted, has been rapidly drained of all meaning in Genessia. Forgive him if he doesn't take one's personal problems as seriously as he ought.]

Live? Well, I can't emphasize enough the importance of inhaling and exhaling. You seem to have that down pat, fortunately.

Re: video

[fadedscarlet]

[..Right. Ted. His "friend" from his first times. Great. YUP.

They glared daggers through the video, but smiled]

Yeah, no, I mastered that the moment this damned body became physical. Tell me, though, are you good at drinking and eating? Because I heard that is also VERY important.

You know. As a person.

Re: video

[youfool]

Ahah, I think even non-persons find that skill invaluable. Do answer your question: yes! I've been at that discipline my whole life. Learned it as a babe, in fact. I hope you got a good enough demonstration at that restaurant we went to.

Re: video

[fadedscarlet]

Oh don't worry. I have. That great restaurant..with my first ever food.

For eating.

... [frowns, needing to be nice as promised, Demon's word is key]

Where the hell do you even work, anyway, you don't strike me as someone who works. You're more..political or religious. You a priest?

Re: video

[youfool]

[If that's sarcasm, it goes over his head.]

Really? Your very first? Well, I'm honored to be part of such a precious, pivotal moment for you. Goodness, if you thought that was decent, you ought to try something home-cooked! Haven't heard a complain from any, and I've served a few!

[Deep breaths, spazz.]

Haha, as flattering as the association is, I don't personally know any priests, though I'm relatively certain they work. What else would you call the ponderous tomes they write? I'm less confident about the politicians, but I'm sure they could be busy, if they wanted.

I work like a tramp: all around, wherever this or that odd job takes me.

[He'd say more, but he's not especially fond of his work.]

Re: video

[fadedscarlet]

[Kii finally groans and holds their face in their hands, muttering] Oh my Godddddd.....

[but they dragged their hands back down, and removed the smile they had]

You call them tomes with stupid human symbols on them. But you? A tramp? Like sexually or?

[They couldn't wrap their mind on Ted being a prostitute, and the mere idea of anything sexual made this Demon sick to their stomach. The most loathsome thing ANYCREATURE can do. GROSS.]

Re: video

[youfool]

[What, is he not pretty enough?]

Aha, so you've a God to groan to? You're advancing so fast!

It may mollify you to know that the word could merely mean "traveler" before taking on more sultry insinuations.

Re: video

[fadedscarlet]

NO I DO NOT! NO!

[Just in that moment a pair of horns emerged-but disappeared painfully. Kii winced, holding their head] Er-no. Dammit.. ow..ow..ow..

Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn't, I've learned to never judge someone because under that stupid smiling face, they could be just as dark..and evil..

heh..

Is there anyone here you know from back home?

Re: [audio]

[fadedscarlet]

Haaaaah..home. What a funny joke.. BUT AH no.

No, I do not. I don't have a home. I wandered from world to universe, to reality, you name it.

[pauses]

...No the only few that I've seen have been other forms of my enemies. Why?

Re: [audio]

[chief_of_staff]

Oh, I see.

Having friends or even some familiar faces in a new place just makes it easier to keep going. It sounds strange, but having an enemy or rival here may drum up some motivation, too.

But you could always make some friends here!

Re: [audio]

[fadedscarlet]

No kidding. I..can see that, sure.

[All they wanted to do was claw up their enemie's faces and make them suffer]

Mm. Friends, huh? Sounds hard. I'm not good at..making good things or friendships-anything involving love. It sounds gross right now.

[pauses] ...But it'll help me going forward?

[audio]

[chief_of_staff]

Hey, I'm not the best at it either, so don't worry about it!

Making any friends should help. I'm new here, myself, so I don't have any yet, but I know I can't just be alone forever.

Re: [audio]

[fadedscarlet]

[Kii gave this guy a good hard stare, and a scowl before asking]

You're new. What's your name, tell me about yourself, then.

[Fine. They did say they were going to be nice just this once. Might as well try

*gags*

FRIENDING people]

[audio]

[chief_of_staff]

[Alright. This guy is kinda funny. Not in any sort of concerning way, at least not yet. Just the type of funny you see in someone who is uncomfortably awkward.]

Sabo. I came from a world with a lot of problems, and I had a lot of responsibility there. I kind of miss it. Really miss it when I think about things for too long... But I guess I'm starting fresh here!

Now it's your turn.

Re: [audio]

[fadedscarlet]

Sabo, all worlds, all universes have troubles.

[Kii bit their tongue though, wanting to say that the more troubles, the more delicious the hate, evil, and darkness there was~~]

..Nanaki. Just call me Kii, though. Unlike the lot of you, I was an almighty being, but a group of scumbags took me down and stripped me of my powers. Now I'm a mortal like everyone else.

...Fresh start here, I guess. [begrudgingly]

voice;

[demonofbadluck]

Do demons in your world not do anything then?

I mean if you lack interests you sound like you just stand around staring at each other.

Re: voice;

[fadedscarlet]

That'd be a hell of a lot better than living and breathing with mortals like you.

[clears throat]

No. No. I did have interests. But I do not think that they would be acceptable or moral in this place. Those were /fun/.

voice;

[demonofbadluck]

[Hear Baldur laughing.]

You assume I'm mortal. That's hilarious.

[He hadn't been that amused in a while.]

But if it's what I think it is. Yeah, I can see why people wouldn't find that fun, even though it's the most fun thing. Sadly, you have to be smart in one's interests if you don't want people always watching you. Doesn't mean you can't try and find a private place, though.

Help him fellow, Demon, help

[fadedscarlet]

[..That piqued their interest. Another non-mortal?]

It is.

[Kii growled] I get my energy from.. /it/ too, so I have no power here. Not unless there's a storm of chaos, evil, darkness, etc etc.

[yes, they just said 'etc' out loud]

...I've thought about that, yeah. Keeping things secret..at least just to find a stupid job and be a stupid human.... grumble

[demonofbadluck]

Eh, guess demons have power sources. New one for me. We just have powers that are on all the time.

But for the future, I am slowly planning on trying to cause more problems if I get bored. I've only done one minor thing. But you know Everglade might be the best idea for what you need.

So going there from time to time might be a benefit when you don't want to pretend to be human.

[fadedscarlet]

[So this guy was a Demon? But he's here..]

So even at your full-power you can't escape. That's disheartening. I used to be like you until a couple of douchecanoes stripped all of my powers.

..But I can get it back, slowly, from what I can tell..

[They hmph a bit, but thinks about it] How do you even live here? And only done minor thing? You've got to go bigger than that! I would...

[demonofbadluck]

I still have my powers. As... low in power as they are compared to my brothers and sisters. But I make do with causing problems should I want to.

But I cannot get home with them, no.

[He paused.] I watch people. Figure out where the best places for me to go are and when. Since I drink blood, I can go to Everglade and get it through various means, depending on how I feel.

[He shrugged slightly.] I do minor to test the waters and see how people react to certain factors instead of going in blind.
