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. >::(

I want to watch!

[jailedmoon]

I assumed that was a given.

[emergensirations]

It's always worth clarification. The daemonic thing to do would be to make me a part of the carnage.

[jailedmoon]

I am nothing as weak as a daemon.

[emergensirations]

You're the rudest person I have ever met.


But okay.

[jailedmoon]

Is that supposed to be insulting?

[emergensirations]

That's up to you! I don't know what you're into.

[jailedmoon]

I believe your intention matters more than my desires.

[emergensirations]

You can believe whatever you like.

[jailedmoon]

I believe you are afraid of those stronger than you.

[emergensirations]

Duh. That's sensible. I like living.

[jailedmoon]

Yet you kill others for your own sake. Do you not feel guilty for that?

[emergensirations]

Everyone's got to eat.

And I like to help my friends. Death happens.

[We're not talking about guilt.]

[jailedmoon]

It may be a fact of life, but there is a difference between letting someone die naturally and taking matters into your own hands.

The latter means more.

[emergensirations]

My hosts mean more. It's an easy choice.

[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!

[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]

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.

[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]

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]

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]

Well, no, because I don't know you.

But you don't know my hosts. To reach out to me is to feel that despair, anger, and grief so fully, they must make a sacrifice. It means the pain in their hearts is too much to bear alone. And so I take that pain and I make it mine. The world is already full of suffering, but being able to share that good or bad means going further than we ever would have. I have lived short human lifetimes. I would never call them incomplete.
