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. )

Yes, absolutely. I don't really care for 'glory' that much... helping people is the real reward. The way that people smile after they think all is lost, only to have you help them find the way again... it's absolutely wonderful.

I want to protect those hopes and dreams... but I don't want to forget my roots. At my core, I'm someone who lives for adventure and the journey, rather than the destination.

( Much of these words do speak to Paimon's true spirit, his energy and functioning itself. )

i believe i under stand
i am meant to help others
and provide them with their WISHES

it is a good TITLE
thank you for your WISDOM
i will conjure your REWARD whenever you like

[aetherweaver]

Oh! Wishes, huh? Are you some kind of magical creature?

I don't really need a reward. A coin is fine if you really want to, but I like meeting new people.

yes i am a demon king but i believe i am also other things
are you human
?

( By now, quite a few people have said they don't need gold as a reward, which has baffled him in its ways... but some have been explaining that speaking to people is a reward in itself. )

if you are certain that you feel REWARDED by meeting me
then that will satisfy the BALANCE

and if you wish to speak to me more then i am happy to listen

[aetherweaver]

A demon king? So like a voidsent, I suppose.

I'm not human in the sense of 'I look like most people here'. I'm a miqo'te - I have feline ears and a tail, among other minor features. But I have seen and read people using 'human' as a general 'mortals, mankind' stand in - so in that sense yes, I am.

Oh, I'd love to meet you! You seem very interesting. Very curious.

[possessum]

voidsent
what are those like
?
?

( Oh he's so curious... And that only grows as the person he's speaking to describes themselves — feline features? Something human but also not quite. In fact, it reminds him a bit of some of the depictions of the demons he knows, actually — many of them have body parts of various creatures and beasts. Even he does, at times. )

that is very fascinating i would like to observe you some time

( ...That isn't meant as creepy as it probably sounds... He's just very interested to see such an entity for himself! And so he's delighted that they say they would like to meet him, too. )

i would very much enjoy that per haps we can meet and we can have tea

( ...He's learned that is what People Do when they meet. )

Voidsent are creatures from a world called the Void - they come in many forms, from small imps up to huge lumbering beasts. They all thirst for aether, which is the substance that makes up my world.

[It's... a little creepy, but it's not the creepiest thing he's heard. This person seems curious, so he's... going to try to take it like that.]

I don't mind. I have many magickal abilities that I can use, if you'd like to observe those as well.

Tea sounds great. I do enjoy tea after a long session of reading.

[As long as it's not poisoned... but he's starting to get a little bit calmer about open drinks here.]

my kind also range
how ever i do not seek to devour worlds
i am meant to assist humans

( He isn't anything as dangerous as this "voidsent" seems to be. ...Well, he isn't meant to be. Certainly, the demon can be utilised for dangerous purposes, but it would be foolish to advertise that just yet. But oh, he simply grows more and more intrigued by this individual. Magickal abilities? )

i would very much like to observe them also
i have a WITCH who makes tea and i have learned from her
i will make it to your tastes

( He's... finally learned not to absolutely kill someone by putting in too much sugar. )

[aetherweaver]

[Meant to assist humans... that's kind of cute.]

I'd love to have you over. I've been practicing out back behind our house, where there's a lot of open space in case something goes wrong. One of the benefits of living out in Feed.
