( This is not Peter Graham, though of course, posting anonymously takes away that possibility. The user didn't want to use the boy's network handle, to inevitably be seen through the filter of "Not Peter."

The user is trying to define his own identity. )

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. )

i do not have my own TITLE on the net work THING
but i am trying to find one

( A riddle... That's a new one so far, and it certainly piques his interest. )

yours is a reminder of some thing important to you
i under stand
does it make you feel
HAPPINESS
?

[sleepinglyra]

That explains your curiosity. Have you found the inspiration you were looking for?

Happiness? Not particularly however it is a source of pride.

[It was difficult to describe without explaining the riddle, which he was reluctant to do. What was the point of concealing his identity if he just gave the answer away? Although he had to admit he was curious if this anonymous stranger would figure it out.]

yes i have learned many things
i believe i under stand how to fashion my own TITLE here

( In fact, there are so many different avenues of thought to go about with making one...! This will take some time, for sure. )

i under stand
PRIDE is of importance

did you choose a riddle so that its meaning would stay safe from others
?

[sleepinglyra]

I look forward to your answer.

[Indeed, creating an suitable alias was more work than Sheliak thought. Perhaps a fake name would have been easier but there was something to be said for one with a more personal connection. It allowed him to be himself without the world's stifling expectations.

In a way. It conceals my identity without being a complete lie.

i see
that is very WISE

( Anyone who seems Wise, aligned with Knowledge at all, is someone who stands out to Paimon, a literal demon of knowledge. And riddles... yes, those are important. This person seems like someone he should strive to form more connection with. Making this post has introduced him to so many important new people... and he certainly will be trying to figure this particular riddle out over time. )

you must be a being of great knowledge

sorry I'm so late

[sleepinglyra]

I like to think so.

[Well Paimon certainly knew how to get in Sheliak's good graces, although in his experience such flattery often came with hidden thorns.]

no worries at all, I'm running slow myself :'D

[possessum]

i am also a being of great knowledge
if ever you would like to meet in person and speak there may be much to learn from one another

( He's very pleased that this post has led to him making connections with some Important People....! )
