7/31 Talking with Algus | Telepath Dev

[15:19] Ginger nod, nods. To Caira, then Ardith.
(Ginger)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:20] Ginger asks, "C'mere, big gangly. Actually. You can talk now! Kinda. What's your name?"
[15:21] Ardith asks, "Heeeey. He's a cutie, ain't he?"
[15:21] Ardith says, "Or she."
[15:21] Ardith says, "I ain't judge."
[15:22] Caira asks, "Do demons even come in genders?"
[15:22] Ardith says, "Nope."
[15:23] Ardith says, "I mean. They might look like it, but I ain't think they actually have genders."
[15:23] Ardith says, "They lay eggs, y'know."
[15:23] Saba Sugar says, "I zoned out.."
[15:23] Saba Sugar asks, "Did I miss anything?"
[15:24] Ardith says, "Me."
[15:24] Ardith says, "I arrived."
[15:24] Ardith says, "That's what you missed."
[15:24] Saba Sugar says, "Ah, so nothing important."
[15:24] Ardith hisses through her teeth. Owch. That smarts.
(Ardith)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:24] Vetani asks, "I guess I just arrived...?"
[15:25] Saba Sugar says, "Mhm, mhm."
[15:26] Vetani says, "But, I'm not sure what I'm looking for, today."
[15:26] Vetani says, "Like I have stuff I don't know how to use."
[15:27] Saba Sugar says, "Hm... Well I'm sure you'll figure it out."
[15:27] Vetani says, "Naaagh."
[15:28] Elyon Hirai asks, "...hey, Mozia?"
[15:28] Elyon Hirai asks, "Wanna sell that?"
[15:28] Mozia asks, "Sell what, fu?"
[15:28] Elyon Hirai says, "That vial-- the Fae dust."
[15:28] Vetani lets out a confusing, rumbling noise from her chest. She stomps over to stare at Ginger, Ardith, and a-- something.
(Vetani)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:29] Mozia says, "After I've done my examinations on it, sure. I'm actually here t' sell some more medical kits."
[15:29] Mozia says, "I've made twelve more."
[15:29] Mozia says, "Two are with me."
[15:30] Elyon shifts a little, glancing over his shoulders.
(Elyon Hirai)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:30] Elyon Hirai asks, "Ever got your wounds patched, Saba?"
[15:30] Saba Sugar says, "Aye, I had Arlei fix it for me a little bit ago."
[15:30] Elyon Hirai asks, "So... we have only one left in storage?"
[15:30] The creature seems to stir from it's own thoughts. Turning towards Ginger as they ask them something about their self and the creature realizes there are others. Head tilting as it listens to them and icy blue eyes overserving each in kind.

Name, that word it knows and now it knows how to respond. A rasping voice from the back of their throat as it answers. "Alllgus."
(Algus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:30] Saba Sugar says, "Mhm."
[15:30] Saba Sugar says, "I could make more, if need be"
[15:30] Saba Sugar says, "We have the materials for em."
[15:30] Elyon Hirai says, "Oh, riht. You're a smith."
[15:30] Elyon Hirai says, "--right."
[15:31] Saba Sugar says, "Aye, people tend to forget that."
[15:32] Elyon Hirai says, "Sweet. No need to buy more, then."
[15:32] Elyon Hirai says, "-be right back."
[15:32] That particular other is probably Ardith. The horned, the cow-legged and tailed. The ineffable, the immovable, the- actually she's really probably none of those other things.

What she does have is a wickedly potent occultic aura that surrounds her that, to most, is completely withering.

"Alllllgus. Nice name. I see you're getting the hang of sentience pretty well," she comments, taking out her handy-dandy-notebook.

"Don't see a lot of demons loitering here that aren't Kaor. Or aren't trying to eat faces. It's usually one of the two."
(Ardith)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:33] Ardith says, "...Maybe it's because the face meat is so soft."
[15:33] Ardith says, "Easier to chew."
[15:33] Ardith asks, "Got an opinion, Allllgus?"
[15:34] Tobias Ulrich asks, "Excuse me, miss.. Caira?"
[15:34] Kabu smirks over to Ardith's mingling with the rather new demon, given her own natures.
(Kabu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:34] Caira asks, "Yes, Tobias?"
[15:34] Tobias Ulrich says, "I'm looking for my friend, Siegfried. I heard that he was released from captivity, but I haven't been able to find him."
[15:34] Tobias Ulrich asks, "Have you seen him?"
[15:35] Caira says, "Sorry. I haven't left Gehenna in two weeks..."
[15:35] Caira sounded extremely sad about that.
(Caira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:35] Caira says, "I wouldn't know where he is."
[15:35] Tobias Ulrich asks, "So, you haven't seen him here?"
[15:35] Caira says, "I haven't."
[15:37] smiles evilly
(Caspian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:37] Tobias Ulrich says, "Oh. Thank you anyway."
[15:37] Caira says, "Of course."
[15:37] It seems to think for a moment, head tilting to the side. "Humansssss- Fooood?"
(Algus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:37] Caira says, "Let me know if you need something else."
[15:38] Knossos Fengari says, "Right."
[15:38] Mutt says, "Declan."
[15:38] Knossos Fengari says, "I need to head to Levengard."
[15:38] Mutt asks, "Can you hear whispers?"
[15:38] Knossos Fengari says, "need to talk to Aurora."
[15:38] Mutt asks, "See the eyes?"
[15:38] Declan Caelum says, "..."
[15:38] Esso Invidia says, "Alright. Be safe lad."
[15:38] Declan Caelum asks, "Why are you asking me this?"
[15:38] Mutt says, "I need to know."
[15:38] Knossos Fengari exclaims, "Zetthy fucking thick thighs!"
[15:38] Knossos LUNGES A HUG AT HER.
(Knossos Fengari)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:38] Vetani didn't have much to say, but she hangs around the perimeter of this... meeting. Demons were a rare sight for her, as a species unaccepted in the Huangzhou region.

She tap-taps on her drum. "Hoi."

"There's some chickens over there. Don't know if the chicken lady would mind."

She stares some more, as though its form may change at any moment.
(Vetani)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:38] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Huh.."
[15:38] Zethra Nina Leverd asks, "Oddly enough I got greeted like that yesterday?"
[15:38] Declan Caelum says, "Yes."
[15:39] Declan Caelum says, "I can still see and hear, yes."
[15:39] Zethra returned the hug.
(Zethra Nina Leverd)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:39] Declan Caelum says, "-see- is."
[15:39] Declan Caelum says, "...well."
[15:39] Knossos Fengari asks, "I'm heading up north. You wanna come with?"
[15:39] Knossos Fengari says, "Need to talk to Aurora and maybe you can pitch in a bit."
[15:39] Declan Caelum says, "relative to what you believe is seeing."
[15:39] Zethra Nina Leverd whispers something.
[15:39] Knossos Fengari whispers something.
[15:39] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Oh.."
[15:39] Knossos Fengari whispers something.
[15:39] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "If It's to Levengard I don't feel comfy."
[15:39] Knossos Fengari says, "Ah."
[15:39] Knossos Fengari says, "Alright."
[15:39] Mutt says, "That's not what I mean.."
[15:40] Knossos Fengari asks, "You hold tight then, I'll be back soon? Kay?"
[15:40] Mutt says, "I'm talking about the whisper.."
[15:40] Declan Caelum says, "Then explain."
[15:40] Mutt says, "The voices."
[15:40] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Alright."
[15:40] Declan Caelum says, "No."
[15:40] Knossos gives her a kiss on the cheek and runs off!
(Knossos Fengari)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:40] Vetani exclaims, "Ah. Mister Declan!"
[15:40] Declan Caelum asks, "Yes?"
[15:40] Vetani asks, "Do you know any fae regulars around Cruxati?"
[15:40] Zethra Nina Leverd exclaims, "Be careful gay brother!"
[15:40] Mutt says, "No?..."
[15:41] Declan Caelum says, "Most of the whispers that tell me to do things, I ignore because my sadness overcomes."
[15:41] Declan Caelum says, "And, I don't know any Faes."
[15:41] Declan Caelum says, "Last Fae we had died protecting Gehenna."
[15:41] Declan Caelum says, "And was one of my allies."
[15:41] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "You might want to dye your hair, Declan."
[15:41] Declan Caelum asks, "Why?"
[15:41] Saba Sugar says, "Right, quick question."
[15:42] Saba Sugar asks, "Why are you blind?"
[15:42] Declan Caelum asks, "Why aren't you?"
[15:42] Elyon Hirai asks, "Yeah. Why?"
[15:42] Elyon Hirai says, "-"
[15:42] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "It looks-"
[15:42] "Depends on the human. If they attack you first? Maybe," she instructs then nods to Vetani.

"Chickens'll be fine. Or animals you can find in the forest are usually fair game."

The presence of Algus presents a very unique opportunity for her, one that she is ready to grab by the horns. Pun intended. The Accursed closes out the noise, the clutter, all the sounds around her and focuses on the demon.

To his mind, which is still gaining sentience she assumes, she tries to project a single thought. If the mutations have held true perhaps it will work. It's worth a shot. Ardith thinks a single thought, an idea, very loudly to Algus.

'Still.'

She hopes against hope he'll remain mostly motionless as her hands reach out to touch either side of the new demon's head to examine him.
(Ardith)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:42] Zethra Nina Leverd exclaims, "How are you blind?!"
[15:42] Declan Caelum asks, "How are you not?"
[15:42] Saba Sugar says, "Ah I see, midlife crisis."
[15:42] Elyon Hirai asks, "Did you pluck your eyes out in pure depression?"
[15:42] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Sareen..."
[15:42] Declan Caelum says, "No, I still have my eyes."
[15:42] Saba Sugar says, "Nah, it's just a midlife crisis."
[15:42] Saba Sugar says, "It's a phase."
[15:42] Elyon Hirai says, "Right."
[15:42] Saba Sugar says, "He'll get over it."
[15:42] Elyon Hirai says, "...aye."
[15:42] Saba Sugar says, "Walk it off Declan."
[15:43] Declan Caelum says, "..."
[15:43] Declan holds up a jar of his dead wife ashes.
(Declan Caelum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:43] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "I don't think he can walk off being blind."
[15:43] Declan Caelum says, "Get over it."
[15:43] Declan Caelum says, "Right."
[15:43] Declan Caelum says, "Mhm."
[15:43] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Not without like..."
[15:43] Zethra Nina Leverd asks, "a walking stick?"
[15:43] Saba Sugar asks, "Okay, what does a jar have to do with you being blind?"
[15:43] Declan Caelum says, "This is my wife ashes."
[15:43] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "--"
[15:43] Declan Caelum says, "Tell me to get over it again and that's your head."
[15:43] Saba Sugar asks, "And what does that have to do with you being BLIND?"
[15:43] Zethra Nina Leverd asks, "Did some of her ashes get in your eyes?"
[15:43] Elyon Hirai says, "...she wouldn't like to see you blind, Dec."
[15:44] Vetani shrinks away from Declan, Saba, and Zethra's conversation, more repulsed than by the occultic energy before her.
(Vetani)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:44] Declan Caelum says, "And I wouldn't want to see a world without her in it."
[15:44] Saba Sugar says, "All you had to say was, I blinded myself."
[15:44] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Right..."
[15:44] Elyon Hirai says, "...we need to get you therapy."
[15:44] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Blinding yourself won't bring her back"
[15:44] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Neither will crying."
[15:44] Saba Sugar says, "Also, I never told you to get over your wife dying. I told you to walk off the injury of being blind."
[15:44] Saba Sugar says, "Jeez."
[15:44] Declan Caelum says, "..."
[15:44] Declan Caelum says, "Walk off the injury of bein-"
[15:44] Saba Sugar says, "No fear."
[15:44] Declan Caelum says, "You're right."
[15:44] Declan Caelum says, "Let me walk off to Briar."
[15:44] Saba Sugar says, "A bold move."
[15:44] Elyon Hirai says, "..."
[15:44] Elyon Hirai says, "He's-"
[15:44] Saba Sugar says, "He's not gonna actually do it."
[15:45] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "I'd chase... but"
[15:45] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "I'm too slow."
[15:45] Saba Sugar says, "He just wants attention."
[15:45] Esso Invidia says, "I could chase."
[15:45] Vetani says, ". . . The memories seemed very real, though."
[15:45] Esso Invidia says, "But like Saba said, there's no point."
[15:46] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Elyon is a good boy."
[15:46] Saba Sugar says, "Mhm."
[15:47] Esso zips over, tapping Declan on his right shoulder before returning to where he was originally standing.
(Esso Invidia)

(Vetani)

[15:48] 2.9k
(Elyon Hirai)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:49] Declan Caelum says, "I could use some therapy..."
[15:50] Saba Sugar says, "Then go get some."
[15:50] Saba Sugar says, "Ardith is a great therapist."
[15:50] Declan Caelum asks, "Is she?"
[15:50] Saba Sugar says, "She'll sort ya out."
[15:50] Ilui Elisheva says, "..."
[15:50] Ardith says, "...Pfffffhahaha."
[15:50] Ardith says, "Funny."
[15:50] Ardith says, "Reeeaaaaal funny."
[15:50] Ilui stares at Zethra.
(Ilui Elisheva)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:51] Zethra Nina Leverd exclaims, "We meet again!"
[15:51] Kabu says, "One way to put it.."
[15:51] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "...Whatever your name is."
[15:51] Ardith says, "If by therapy you mean liquid therap."
[15:51] Ilui Elisheva says, "You know my name."
[15:51] Declan Caelum asks, "Ilui, how much for the remote to Godfrey?"
[15:51] Ardith says, "And if by liquid therapy you mean...y'know. Drinking."
[15:51] Ilui Elisheva says, "Don't pretend you don't."
[15:52] Saba Sugar says, "Ardith, just uhh..."
[15:52] Saba Sugar says, "C'mere."
[15:52] Kabu says, "----"
[15:52] Ilui Elisheva asks, "Hm..? How do you know about that, Declan?"
[15:52] Kabu says, "Ardie... We've been over this."
[15:52] Zethra laughed a little.
(Zethra Nina Leverd)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:52] Zethra Nina Leverd says, "Fair enough."
[15:52] Ardith asks, "...The drinking less thing?"
[15:52] Ardith asks, "You see a bottle in my hand?"
[15:52] Ardith says, "Cuz if you do...I might need to get my eyes checked."
[15:53] Declan Caelum asks, "The walls talk too much in the open. Would a piece of arcanium and 14500 coin go for it?"
[15:53] Kabu says, "...Fair point."
[15:53] Ilui Elisheva says, "No."
[15:53] It listens carefully, more interested in conversation about food than seemingly anything else so far. His eyes seeming to swim with thought. How would it tell if the human was food or not? Perhaps nibbling wouldn't count as trying to eat them but rather test if they were food?

Maybe they were all food and he could only eat some? That seemed wrong. Who knew, questions for later.

Yet something seems to touch his mind. Perhaps not a true telepathic thought but a feeling, concept. The creature turning it's attention more towards Ardith and slowly it seems to come still. The basic intelligence still not enough to have developed much of an ego yet so the request was a simple one to accomplish. Algus remaining perfectly still for the other to reach out to.

No reaction besides an intake at the nostrils as it scents the air like an animal.
(Algus)
