Real talk:

Does anyone here not have some kind of fucking childhood trauma bullshit? Goddamn, this is fucking pathetic to watch.

[YOU ARE LITERALLY ONE OF THEM, JOLYNE...]

Also, anyone that's got some anatomy knowledge, I have a quick question: how long does it generally take for someone to bleed out from a minor wound? Enough to need stitches but not enough to require surgery otherwise. Asking for my own curious brain, I swear to fuck I haven't done anything to warrant this question. Just idle weird thoughts.

Okay, actually, one more question. Skin grows back, doesn't it??????

[ okay no he can't take this any more ]

You shed dead skin cells every day. Exfoliation is something many people do to get rid of dead skin that still stays on the body.

So yes they flake off naturally.

[arcadianvampire]

About a century or two. Aging speed for daemons can be a little... strange. But I grew out of childhood quicker than average for a daemon of my kind.

I suspect it's because I put forth the effort to get stronger earlier than most. Daemon children can sometimes be horribly lazy.

[stavros]

I understand you've had a very different life, but how is any of what you do fun?

[strings_theory]

How the fuck do you know this.

I... guess that shit makes sense. Dunno. Just kinda thought that it was more just dying the lower layers or w/e and it'd eventually fade over time. Or so that's the shit I've heard, I dunno, it was bad-ass at the time.

[strings_theory]

Dunno if that's better or worse than "absentee father". But, hey, fuck 'em.

Though I gotta ask, if you were given a free shot at 'em, would you take it?

[strings_theory]

Join the club. Seems a good lot of people around here fuckin' detest their dads.

[strings_theory]

Gets attention, don't it?

[Is she being serious? Who knows, actually.]

[strings_theory]

[This is what you signed up for.]

That is.

Far.

Less cool.

Fucking skin out here being boring as fuck, goddamn.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I suppose not, but I believe you would have liked my mother. She was very much like you - though much less vulgar, of course.

[Mrs. Moriarty was SOMETHING, alright.]

And...Yes, if it was done over time. Of course, it's more than possible to reduce a human to little more than a torso with no way to see or hear the outside world as long as the brain is still functioning - such things genuinely happened during the world wars, after all.

[OH BOY IS IT MORBID FACT CORNER TIME.]

[strings_theory]

Thanks, I get that shit from my mom or w/e.

Wait.

Waitwaitwait.

That actually fucking happened?

[Unfortunately this is Jolyne so of course she's not all that bothered and more intrigued than anything else.]

[adjectiveprince]

[One moment, laughing uncontrollably in his room.]

I think that's a definite YES on that one.

[strings_theory]

So it's, like, you become an adult or w/e via becoming stronger and it's not due to an age thing?

[strings_theory]

[G O O D.]

Good shit, good shit.

tbh, same. Though I'd have to make sure to be far away from the oceans or whatever, who fucking knows if he's figured out how to talk to dolphins now.

Fuckin' weirdo.

[nor_iron_bars]

i dunno, that means you're basically covered in a death layer at all times.
that's kinda metal.

"oh yeah, just using this scrubbing brush to exfoliate away my death layer"

[strings_theory]

Yeah but then there's new skin underneath that and that's so less fuckin' metal.

Even if you are scrubbing death shit off of you or w/e.

[stavros]

Surely you could have with, I don't know, academic excellence or something.

[adjectiveprince]

Sounds like he'd like my uncle, then. Let's just say you aren't the only one with a weird family.

[strings_theory]

Here's a question: you ever had a technical great great granduncle who's younger than you are?

[strings_theory]

Dude, I'm from fucking Florida, a public school system, and kinda fucked off to do crimes most of the time.

That ship long sailed.

[adjectiveprince]

[He has to think about it for a minute, but...]

I don't THINK so...

I do have a cousin who was born from my uncle's forehead

[superstylishsquid]

I'm a demon, so my perspectives kinda off on childhood trauma.
But these questions seem a bit concerning.
Are yew shore this is just curiosity?

[strings_theory]

Excuse me.

What?

[adjectiveprince]

I guess it's only fair I should give SOME explanation. I am Zagreus, son of Hades, god of the dead. Zeus is my uncle, and Athena my cousin.

I'm told my family is fairly well known among mortals.

[strings_theory]

God.

Yeah, even with my shitty public school knowledge that's something I've heard about.

I get why you wanna deck your fuckin' dad now. At least mine'll eventually fuckin' die.

[adjectiveprince]

I killed him, actually.

It won't stick, but it felt bloody great to do.
