why did you choose your title here on this THING
what is the meaning
?
?

( ...Texting is still something he struggles with, though the demon has been watching and learning and forming his own conclusions on how to do it. Autocorrect is a life-saver. Two questions get two question marks. ....Even if they go in the wrong place. )

i will grant you a
GOLDEN COIN
if you
RESPOND

( ...For those who know Paimon fairly well, that particular offer of exchange might betray who he is. But the demon of Knowledge is curious to hear reasons, and within them: perhaps stories, memories, self-perceptions. There is a meaning to everything, whether simple or complex.

And perhaps by the end of it, he will know what title he would give himself, here on the network. )

so it is part of your identity
does it make you feel HAPPINESS
?
?

( And oh... that information strikes against a very specific place within the demon king. One that involves his particular connection to the water and to fish... )

the fish is important to you
?
fish are also important to me

[icanhearscreams]

Not happiness, exactly... but it's important to me. To know that I was a pilot... that I sacrificed myself, and that it mattered.

The fish itself doesn't really matter so much as the fact that I like marine biology.

( He's still trying to make sense of what "happiness" really even is. But conversations like this are helping — to learn the nuances of human emotion. )

sacrificed your self
did you die
?
?

( You can't just ask people if they died, Paimon... But he does know that many here seem to have died, back home. )

it is very good to like
i have a fish with two heads
that i am studying

[icanhearscreams]

[Paimon you can't just - but fortunately Jun is blunt and generally honest.]

I did. We all died. Most of us from piloting a giant robot to save our world.


A mutation?

[possessum]

did you succeed in saving it
?

i believe so
it came from the DREAM
before this place

there was a pond with strange fish and i took it home
i can make fish do things

[icanhearscreams]

Yes, I did. Now it's up to the last pilot, whoever it is.


Well dreams are strange... I guess it's no surprise something like that showed up there.

What kinds of things?

[possessum]

any thing i desire
they follow my control

( The Aquaman of demons... )

the ocean here is very dark very deep
there are many fish to find

[icanhearscreams]

[A fish demon...]

I'm sure there are. I know that people could breathe in the sea a few months ago, but I didn't go in.

I'd like to see the fish down there, though.

[possessum]

per haps the capability will return
this place functions in CYCLES

i will show you my two head fish if you desire
its names are LU and NA

( ....Named after Luna..... )

[icanhearscreams]

Does it? I haven't really been here long enough to know.

... I guess if it has two heads, two names makes sense. A picture would be interesting to see.

[possessum]

o i know how to send picture

( ...He's learned how to do that... And so, behold, his two-headed mutant fish... )

some people are afraid of them but they will not harm

[icanhearscreams]

It's kind of cute, for a fish.
