( 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. )

[ Sliming.. Paimon, that sure is a description. She supposes it's one of those little differences about the sort of demon Paimon is and the sort of demons her own friends had been. Beelze had pretty much always been eating everything she could lay her hands on, without ever complaining about the taste..

.. then again, that's probably just kind of what you do when you're the demon of gluttony. ]

I kind of like that one then. It shows that you have a friendly side too, you know? Most people might not know that about you!

[ Some people would say it's better for a demon like Paimon to sound imposing, but.. well, Ange is coming more from an 'I just want my cute little demon friend to make some friends' kind of angle.. ]

( Oh... the word "friendly" has never really been used to describe him, at least not as much as he's currently able to remember. )

friendly means





the people will want to approach to me
?

[entreats]

Yes.

I'm sure you know this much too, but people tend to be afraid of things they don't know well, or things they don't understand. Just knowing you're a demon might turn some people off. [ .. granted, probably less so in this place, where being human isn't necessarily the standard.. ]

But if they see that you're just like any other person in many ways, then they'll come to see you more favourably. They will want to get to know you, and talk to you. Maybe they'd even want to become friends, if you'd like that.

i believe i would like that
i wish to speak to more people so that i may form bonds and deals with the people and become stronger
and so that i may learn things
and so that i may teach them things

( It isn't the first time Ange's used the word "friend" around him — and the last time she had, it was to actually refer to him as a friend. That word is still strange for what Paimon is, but he's found that he quite likes it. It's a form of equality that is different from what he's known — not about offering and reward, but about companionship. )

per haps even though i am a demon i can be friends with others like your demons are friends

[entreats]

Of course. Demons can totally be friends with people. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[ Or, you know, just tell Ange if anyone claims to know better, Paimon.. She will beat them up for you!! She won't hesitate..!! ]

So if that is what you want to go for, then I'm putting my vote in for the chocolate username. I believe it'll suit your goals well.

Besides, it's cute, and I think you're cute.

[ Thanks, Ange.

You have weird taste.

(Also filed under compliments Ange would never just give to people plainly, but apparently when it's demons she's dealing with, she can just say that like it's nothing.. without even getting embarrassed about it..) ]

( ANGE....... u//////u Has he ever really directly been called "cute" before....? Not like this... He does, kind of, understand what it means. At the very least he knows it's a good term, an affectionate one, and that makes the demon very pleased.... He's been called cute, y'all... and of course Paimon has to return the praise.... )

i think you are cute also
cute witch
i will use the TITLE especially for you

( What's going to end up happening is that Paimon has multiple network usernames here that he fluctuates between... It will be horribly confusing, but when is he ever not! )

[entreats]

[ Look at that, Ange is even getting a cute compliment in return.. Which she didn't really expect. Usually she tends to throw little hissy kitty fits about being called cute, but.. you know what?

It's Paimon. She will give her demon pal a pass. ]

Especially for me? I'm flattered.

I will give you some time to talk to everyone else now though. It seems that you got a whole lot of responses! Have fun with them.

( What a pure interaction this is.... And he's really feeling so cute.... Never mind that all the texting is going to soon wear the demon out, sending him into a cursed little Demon Nap... the kind that levitates Peter's body into the air and bends his back inwards like it's about to snap (which happens a lot, it's totally fine).

H-he's cute.... )

i under stand i will speak with you soon golden witch good bye

( ...He's not great at ending conversations... but he is extremely grateful to Ange for her witchy input. And he's totally ending up with multiple usernames here... which will definitely not be confusing at all. )
