Re: cw; little gore mention

It, er, he's a demon. Mine, I guess. [ "mine", because he did summon him, but the demon doesn't necessarily belong to him. he just does at the moment... ]

And my singing isn't what did that. It was just kind of a... catalyst, I guess you could call it. But... no, I'm not the one that made everything go to shit. He got greedy and pulled too much of it, and in doing so it killed them and hurt me. If he would have just stuck to the plan, then nobody would have died.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

What was "the plan?"

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

Just to siphon a little life from everybody.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

Hmm. So the original idea was to take just a very small amount from a very, very large crowd of people so that the missing energy wouldn't even be noticable?

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

Exactly. If you take a little from a lot of people it's basically the same as taking a lot from a small bunch of people... except the effect on them isn't as bad. If you drain somebody of a ton of life, well, I'm sure you can imagine what happens... er, you... saw what happens... A little is barely noticeable! [ and probably not even missed!! ]

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

I thought that might be where this was going. Were you just not expecting it, or do you not have much control over that thing?

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

A bit of both, honestly.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

Is there anyone who can help you get rid of it?

[ Kind of poking to see what his response is here. ]

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

This isn't exactly something I bring up to just... anybody. Demons and demon summoning are kind of, like, taboo.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

[ what monsters aren't just an every day occurance to everyone? ]

Well, you figured out how to do it in the first place, right? How did that happen?

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

[ nope! magical creatures like himself, sure, but not... monsters. although corrupted creatures could be considered monsters, probably. hm. ]

I did a lot of research on the subject. Humans like occult stuff. Most of the time it's written off as fake, and some of it probably IS fake, ...but if you piece together enough of it, then you'll find the actual factual stuff.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

So do you think if you did a lot more research you could find something that isn't fake to help you exorcise it?

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

I guess I'd first have to be interested in doing so, but [ shrugs. ] yeah, maybe.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

So you're happy living possessed.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

...saying I'm possessed makes it seem like it's a bad thing. [ folds his arms. ] It's not always a bad thing. It's like being in a relationship... it has its ups and downs. [ i'm sorry he's a fucken idiot. ]

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

[ She doesn't miss a beat. ]

A relationship in which the downs are your partner forces you to murder a bunch of people against your will and hurts you so bad you end up in the hospital. You know what that sounds like, right?

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

[ . . . ]

What?

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

[ REALLY?

she reaches out and takes a clean spoon and gently taps the top of his head with the piece of silverware. ]

Abuse. It sounds like you're in an abusive relationship.

1/2

[malumdiscordiae]

Ow!!

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

B- But... I'm getting something out of it too... wouldn't I... not if it was abusive? Aren't those kinds of things one way? And I summoned him... I wanted this...

/2

[glidinglight]

You know, people who get into abusive relationships think they're getting one thing until they're getting another--and then they're in too deep. And it's not always bad. Sometimes things are nice! They get treated well, pampered, told how special they are between episodes.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

If you really insist it's not like that, it's not really for me to say how you view your relationship, but... maybe instead of just looking at it purely from the lens of what you've "gained" you should consider the ways it's harmed you.

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

... [ he's never stopped to think about it like that. he's never cared to. ] I... guess, yeah, that all... makes sense. [ but he's been selfish, thinking of himself and everything he's gained and been trying to gain, and not really caring about the side effects. like, yeah, he can say he cared that all of those people got sick and died now, but did he actually care then..? probably not. the amount of life the both of them got from that ordeal was insane. ]

I guess demons are bad for a reason, h- huh? [ tries for a smile. ]

Re: cw; little gore mention

[glidinglight]

[ Sometimes you need a little bit of hindsight to be able to really see the full picture. ]

Seems that way.

[ Just her experiences here have taught her that much. ]

Re: cw; little gore mention

[malumdiscordiae]

[ but maybe not all... demons... ]

[ he's really torn on this, and that much shows on his face. ]
