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

i will grant you a

( ...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. )

What the fuck IS that?

[opheliac]

i just told u silly.

[syncopathic]

No I mean like what is a rocket launcher? You're just saying words like you're expecting me to know what they mean.

[He's getting more frustrated by the second. Is this what it's like to talk to him?]

[opheliac]

its a weapon that shoots rockets to make things go kaboom.

[syncopathic]

So a cannon, then. You're describing a cannon.

[The fuck's a "rocket"?]

[opheliac]

that's a lil what a rocket launcher is. but u are also describing me. so both!

[syncopathic]

Does the rocket launcher also talk too much about fuck-all? Because I can't really see the worth in having something like that in my arsenal.

[opheliac]

DUH!! of course he can talk!!
but sometimes he talks about boring stuff.

[syncopathic]

Yeah, that can happen to anyone on a long enough timeline. I used to travel with a baby dragon that was pretty much the same way.

[It really says something that he's less confused about a rocket launcher that can talk than the concept of a rocket launcher in general.]

[opheliac]

baby dragon?
im going to guess its not here?
b/c i want to see it.

[syncopathic]

No, you really don't. He's a huge pain in the ass. You're more likely to get hit by his fireballs by accident than if he's purposely trying to hit you.

He's only a "baby" mentally, by the way. Otherwise he's the same size as every other adult dragon. At least, judging by the ones I've seen in my world.

[opheliac]

he sounds CUTE!!!
if u dont want him let me have him!!

[syncopathic]

Sorry, but he belongs to my other traveling companion, Zero. And as much as she bitches about him, I doubt she'd just give him up without a fight.

She's got a soft spot for him, I can tell. Like he's her kid. Her annoying, dumb dragon kid.

[opheliac]

thats ok. ill just fight her then take him.

[syncopathic]

Leaving out the fact that they're both still in my world, there's a few problems with that plan.

One being that she's an Intoner. I haven't seen you fight, but I'm pretty sure she'd take you apart. Intoners are notoriously difficult to kill, believe me.

The other being that, even if you DID manage to win, Mikhail definitely wouldn't be happy that you hurt his mommy. He'd most likely eat you. I've seen him do it before.

Actually, scratch that. Knock yourself out. I'd actually like to see the outcome of that fight.

[opheliac]

ill be happy to take them BOTH on.
after i beat up the baby dragon he will respect me.
usually how it works.

[syncopathic]

I don't doubt it. He's kind of a pushover.

But that still doesn't rule out you getting trounced by Mama Bear.

[opheliac]

blahblahblasdhakdsfaklsfa
whatev.
we'll see.

anyway, did i say my name yet? its jinx btw. and jinx stands for jinx.

[syncopathic]

Jinx. Got it. You might have already guessed from my label or whatever, but my name's Dito.

[opheliac]

dito is a weird name.

[syncopathic]

What can I say? I'm a weird fellow.

[opheliac]

yeaaaaah but thats why i like u
u are now on my jinx list.
congrats!!

[syncopathic]

Great. Do I at least get a consolation prize or something?

[opheliac]

how about a kiss from fishbones?
he loves smooches!!

[syncopathic]

I don't. Especially not from something with the word "fish" in the name. Hard pass.
