[Video/Catch All, backdated to April 15th.] Egglike Mishaps
"...Brrawk~! I squeal like a little girl when I see kittens for the first time~!"
The feed switches on in the early hours of the morning. A shrill voice can be heard in mockery of Satori's own, chattering in the background. Satori looks thoroughly worn out. A loud and rather mischevious parrot, which happens to be a riotous blend of colour, peers at the camera as if it knows very well what it's doing.
The mistress of the house mumbles... "Good grief...as much as I'm fond of animals, I'm starting to regret this one."
"Lots of regrets! Like wanting friends~!" The parrot replies... "Like how I regret letting my sister get in trouble all the time~! I blame myself, even now~!"
"...Oh, now you've certainly done it."
...And once more it screeches... "I'm not as scary as I act, isn't that right~? But I kill humans in cold blood when I'm hungry~! And enjoy it~! Brawk~!"
Satori's expression is all too tired from all of this as she wanders over, still in her bedclothes, and pat the parrot on the head, giving it a treat. For a blessed moment, it shuts up. However, it's thrown out a ton of emotional baggage she'd confessed to it. Big mistake, as it seems to want to compulsively announce it.
"Is anyone else dealing with this sort of thing? I'm starting to get a tad exasperated...I'm getting tired of it airing my dirty laundry."

The bird replies... "Koishi has to break the ice for me~! I'm so useless around people~!"
Satori doesn't shut the feed off, but nods a little in response to the human's replies. She knows Koishi's that way for a reason, but that doesn't stop her from worrying.
"I decided to confide too much to my new little friend, here, and I think it's been reading my diaries. It seems to be a little overzealous in repeating what it knows, in any case. Don't pay it much mind. As for anything about killing...I don't enjoy it."
She doesn't deny it happens. The parrot, however, stares into the camera.
"...Brawk...that was a lie! L I E! I don't like it~! I hate hurting people~! But sometimes I'm so hun--"
Satori passes it a treat, interrupting its rambling.
"Do you see what I mean?"
Re: [video]
Secret revealing is one thing, but Rose won't stand for insulting her friends.
A head tilt. "It's... okay. You feed on the emotions right? Um. At least I know Koishi does? You can't help your nature. But you're not going out and randomly killing willy nilly for fun. That's important. The bird is wrong."
Re: [video]
She shudders a bit. It doesn't taste like the real thing and it's quite a bit artificial, but it gets her by if she can't get a real cut.
"The emotions I tend to feed on are fear-derived - or a couple other adjacent emotions like hatred and such. My reputation as a lonely and feared individual helps greatly with keeping me alive, but does wonders for my social life." She chuckles a little, bitterly as the bird stays quiet for a while, sparing her the agony of having more stupid things blurted out. For now. But it's watching.
"I dislike killing another sentient being, humans especially. If you think watching someone die normally is traumatic and depressing, it's surely twice as horrifying when you're privy to their final thoughts and feelings as it ebbs away. It's...something I'd rather not deal with. That's why that damnable bird is wrong. At the same time, humans are--"
"Brawk~! HUMANS ARE HORRIBLE CREATURES! DISGUSTING, VILE, THEY SHOULD ALL DIE! HUMANS ARE A BLIGHT! THEY SHOULD ALL DIE~!"
Satori adds with a snarl... "Nice try, you pompous feathered reprobate. I've mellowed on that stance since a century or so ago..."
She shakes her head...
"...I've had plenty of experiences with humans, good and bad that have made those initial feelings much, much more complex. But when Koishi became...they way she is, I blamed the humans."
