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. )

how

how does he
what does he do?

[How does this other person deal with it? Do they deal with it? Melius' questions probably come off a little desperate, and, well, he is. If there's a way to just be the weird Argonian alchemist, then - he'll listen. If there's a way to deal with it...]

[No one ever offered that. Maybe they didn't care - or maybe, what he was, maybe that was just too heavy of a burden to put down. Maybe they all knew that. Preventing the end of the world was kind of a big deal, wasn't it?]

i dont know what i am

except
scared

[possessum]

he
hides
from it
as much as he is able

( It's been some years by now of living with the demon within him, and Peter hasn't accepted that fate. Can't accept it. But he doesn't... fight it, per-say. He just buries his head in the sand, closes his eyes. He's afraid, always. )

how ever
there is some one helping him with it
and that does make it easier for him
so that he does not feel so alone

i under stand that you do not wish to tell your friends
to have them see you as your fate
but
per haps having others to help may make it easier

if you do not wish to tell them
i do not mind if you ever wish to speak to me about it
when you are scared
i am not human
i am bound to keep secrets

[fusrodaaaah]

oh
I understand that
I hide too

[As much as he is able. Which, most days, isn't a whole lot. But he does try. He tries very hard. And... it's true he doesn't want anyone to really know. To see him as something other than the weird lizard with the potion shop. That's all he wants. Just to be left alone to do alchemy and make a few friends.]

[Bound to keep secrets.]

[It makes him wonder if he somehow ended up talking to a daedra. But none of them would do something so altruistic - none of the ones associated with secrets, anyway.]

okay
that
might help
Im not sure if it will or not but that is
something to try

[possessum]

( It's likely a strange proposition, a heavy one, perhaps could even seem suspicious — but the demon doesn't grasp things like social norms or the awkwardness of offering help to someone who doesn't know him. He is a being meant to Assist, and here is a soul in need of assistance. Clearly not someone human, but someone connected to such ancient and important beings as dragons. If anything, Paimon can certainly listen to this person if ever they need someone to talk to, and if they wish to talk to him. He won't force it, but he'll be there. )

i will find you again some time
when i have forged my title here on the NET WORK

you do not have to be alone
even while hiding

( Unfortunately, Peter will soon be shoved into a goo cocoon, and Paimon will get all Scrambled and Weird, so much so that he won't exactly be able to reach out to people on the network for awhile, but.... he won't forget. Sometime, he'll speak to this person again. )

[fusrodaaaah]

okay
I am um
I am easy to find

because I am the only one with this name

[The only one with the username dovahkiin. Which he's tried to change. Repeatedly. But his omen keeps reversing the changes. She is, after all, part of his soul. The dragon part. The one that isn't afraid of destiny or opposition, or anything, really.]

[He'll wait. As long as it takes. Melius is an alchemist, after all, and that involves a great deal of patience.]
