You know, at first I thought I had you all wrong. I thought these April pranks were cool and that you finally understood stuff. I thought we could have a good time and we wouldn't even leave any corpses behind. But noooo. I mean, come on, you guys switch bodies and stuff it's "just a prank" and "all in good fun" but when I want to make a friend I'm "evil" and "a danger to everyone around me". You guys are lame. This isn't a fun trick at all. >::(

[They definitely stole Héctor's phone to send this.]

You know, if you keep stealing other people's phones you're never going to get one of your own right?

And let's not get into the extra decades of Contract you earned with your little prank earlier.

[emergensirations]

... You were going to give me a phone?


I still don't think it's fair. It helped! Your cat ears went away. And everyone else was doing it.

[spelleton]

Conversation that doesn't involve granting their deepest wishes and desires and trading you their body.

[emergensirations]

Hmm.

I talked to some of the people I tried to kill here.

And I talked to some of the people I did kill for my old hosts.

And I talked to the nice angel about throwing each other a birthday party. ::)

Checkmate.

[hawkwardness]

Okay, suit yourself.

[He is so telling both your dads!!]

[jailedmoon]

You are a parasite?

[emergensirations]

I'm a daemon! And I prefer the term "symbiotic" over "parasitic"! I'm not just taking, I'm giving!

[spelleton]

So exactly one friendly conversation that didn't involve doing something for your hosts or killing people.

How old are you exactly

[jailedmoon]

Giving power, I presume, as daemons do to those that come under their influence.

I have not heard of any that need or want hosts, however.

[emergensirations]

I don't know. Older than you. Maybe centuries. How old are you?

But you know, some of my kind don't even talk to their hosts! So I'm doing better.

[spelleton]

41 years old.

I've had more amiable conversations in four decades of life than you've had in several centuries which is telling.

[subconmodo]

Every minion gets one. You, Kit... Desco's technically an apprentice, I guess, but she has her own phone anyway.

And I think you fail to realize that most of the people being HIT with the potions weren't doing so on PURPOSE.

[emergensirations]

Sometimes! But a lot of my hosts want normal human things. Like to remove competition in their jobs so they can make a lot of money. Or to be pretty or fix something about them. Or to get rid of people who are hurting them. Or because they're lonely.

My kind requires hosts. It's specific to my species of Daemon. It's how we grow! I don't know why you haven't heard of us. But I don't think I've heard of you either, so it works out.

[emergensirations]

Oh.

Well I guess I could give this one back then...

I don't understand. People were throwing the potions on purpose. Which means they wanted the merges to happen. Is being pranked not a part of the game?

[jailedmoon]

A creature like yourself is just more proof of the failures of humanity. Those are petty, inconsequential things, and yet they believe themselves to be superior to even that they do not understand?

There is a reason no one knows who I am.

[emergensirations]

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely older than you. ::)

[Not mentally.]

And that's different! You're... human... adjacent. Your species is meant to do all that stuff. That's why some of my hosts call me, you know! Socialization is a "human need".

[spelleton]

You might as well admit you have poor social skills.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. That's what school is for.

[hattersgonnahat]

it is very good phone too

[He's trying...]

[emergensirations]

It's because you're rude, right? I bet it's because you're rude.

My hosts are silly sometimes, but I still love them. They're beautiful. There are so many wonderful things about them. And when they pick me, I get to be part of it. And I can protect them from the ones who are wrong.

[jailedmoon]

It is because I am what I was created to be.

They are greedy and selfish and only wish to use you for their own desires. What about that is beautiful?

[emergensirations]

But that's not true! I think I'm very good. Look how much talking is happening now. And I'm very good at making my hosts feel better and knowing just what they need.

[subconmodo]

"Pranking" by its very nature, means that the person being pranked isn't in on it. It's a game for the people doing the throwing, not so much for the people getting hit.

[emergensirations]

Which is rude? ::D

[They're nodding sagely.]

Every being wants. I don't think that's bad.

My hosts call me for help. They feel alone and trapped and so they call me. They give me a body, and they give me their soul, and I get to grow with them. I can experience the joys of life, I can feel their happiness when I make their dreams come true, and I can know the beautiful feeling of togetherness. Some of them create such beauty. Some of them fix things or help others. Some of them are cruel but still, they live so free. They have little things like ice cream and big things like bridges as tall as mountains. They change and become all the time, all on their own too. Sometimes they get to me, and they love me, and that's the best of all. There is so much that is beautiful. It's sad that no one sees it.

[jailedmoon]

You do not know what you mock.

[They're the rude one!]

Humans have no respect for the way of the world. They scorn the shadows and refuse to feel the true extent of emotion. They treat despair, anger, grief as things that are lesser, and yet you say they are beautiful for their selfishness? Those humans want an incomplete life, whether or not they love you. What is sad is the fact that nobody truly embraces life to the fullest.

[emergensirations]

...

Why? I thought games were supposed to be fun for both.
