ok. so.
i got most of this already? i think, at least.
there's chroma, and demi-chroma, and you get frisky to get... chroma? yeah. demi-chroma you have to mine.
so i'll try not to ask about any of that stuff

but i guess my big question is
is this anyone else's second big trip offworld?
like. has anyone else here gone through this whole "kidnap and wake up somewhere else" thing
because even if this place is way better than duplicity i would really kind of... rather not? keep popping around in different places.
is this a condition? do i have teleportitis or something fake like that basically.

also, if anyone here knows... uh. jeez. jupiter, neptune, saturn, ren, reverie... actually if anyone here recognizes "venus?" that's probably easier. let me know if you remember me i guess

also also, do piercings heal up when you come here or is that just a devil thing. just curious. it's a hypothetical question i guess.

also also also, does any place around here do piercings cheap? i'm kind of broke. like not hypothetically broke.

ugh i can imagine
i only knew the one and i might never run out either
i'm okay with ti as long as you're okay with me complaining back sometimes though??

By all means, vent to your heart's content.

okay
well, um
it was only one god. we called him god? or like, God, with a capital g. that was important
and he was basically... the worst?
like. he was the best, and the most good, which made him scientifically the absolute worst
he sounded like every guy you've ever been afraid of, and he sounded like he KNEW it, and it was just
ugh. fuck that guy

do you want to vent any?
i feel like i'm kind of stealing your time. idk

He sounds tremendously unpleasant. The smug ones are the worst. Where do I begin. There are, or were, many gods, but there is one who reminds me of your description. Wyrm, although he preferred to be revered as the Pale King as the one and only god of Hallownest. He was supposedly a being of pure reason that could never be wrong, which meant that when he was wrong, he wouldn't even consider changing his mind about a plan. And he had the slightest tendency to consider mortals disposable in his plans. Including his own offspring. Including thousands of his own offspring, for a plan that was doomed to fail from the very start.

oh yuck.
that honestly sounds a lot like god too?
right down to sending his own kid to die. what a lousy dad.
everyone says it was so everyone else could be forgiven??
but they always mean “the good ones”
and everyone else can just burn with the rest of the trash.

it’s gross. it’s so utterly, awfully gross.
i get mad just thinking about it

at least “pale king” sounds pretty cool as a name

I would like to have several words with your world's god, if I ever have the opportunity.

[Some of them may be less 'words' and more 'fire'.]

haha. he's not really one for listening?
but if we ever figure out a way back we can give it a shot
maybe we can make him listen for once :)

[ yeah, that's. that's mutual. ]

If we ever have the chance, I would be delighted to give him a piece of my mind. :) :) :)

[he was taught how to use emoticons he's so proud]

heck yes!!
you can come along with the rest of us
it doesn’t sound like you’re a devil exactly? but you’re totally an honorary one

By my understanding, I am as near as my world has to a devil. Shall I make you an honorary member of my troupe in return?

oh!!
no wonder you get it
wow. oh my god? i kind of want to ask about the differences at some point
is that something that could happen? are you okay with that

also are you okay with that???
i don't really know much about being in a troupe, and i can't dance
or sing? or perform, or really do much of anything.
i'm not good at most things, and even the things i am good at i still kind of suck at?
but like. if you're okay with that
oh my god??

Do not worry. I would be happy to discuss in more depth at any point, as I wish to learn more about you as well.

[Fair is fair!]

Not everyone in my troupe can perform. Some are here as guards, or to gather flames. Some are part of the troupe simply because they did not wish to be left alone. Whatever your skill set, there can be a role for you.

oh wow. okay. um
coffee date maybe??
is that okay? do you drink coffee
we can totally figure something else out

sorry i've like. only met one or two other devils in the entire time i've been gone?
so it's nice to talk to someone who just... sort of gets it
and you DEFINITELY get it?
a new apple for everyone. it's the same thing, it's exactly what you're doing

wowie!!!!

[grimm voice: I've only known venus for five minutes but if anything ever happened to them I would kill everyone on this planet and then myself]

Coffee would be lovely. Or tea if you like. Even in my home, there are few beings who I can truly vent to like this. You are a rarity indeed.

oh man. both sound good??
i mean. i don't really know anything about tea that isn't... you know. iced
but it sounds super classy?? maybe i could get dressed up and actually look presentable for once. haha

yeah. there weren't many of us back home either
usually that kind of thing gets beaten out of you early on, you know?
i just was lucky. i had friends who were just as awful as i was, haha.

You may come exactly as you are. I certainly will not be dressing up.

[He doesn't usually wear clothes.]

So many worlds are cruel to their children. It never gets easier to see.

oh! phew. that's kind of a relief?
like neptune always looked so stylish in pretty much anything she was wearing.
even when she wasn't wearing anything and was just sort of. the ocean.
she was so pretty. wow.

yeah
that's what us devils are here for, though. right?
we're the ones that all god's chaff falls through to
and it's up to us to give them a place

The ocean has a certain beauty to her. Even flame such as I can admit to that.

[Still not fond of swimming though.]

oh my god you got fire and everything??
you really ARE the cool devil. oh my gosh
i got light which is actually pretty great? i don't mind that
but also, it's way less cool than storm or ocean

and none of those are as old-fashioned and stylish as flame??
what the heck

Light is a popular element among the gods I know. I am pleased to hear that you have reclaimed it.

[The gods with light as an element are especially assholes.]

haha. right? like.
i know the devil's supposed to be the shadow cast by the light of god
but it feels kind of nice to have a light of my own :)

also i need to figure out how to turn it off at some point.
it's been nearly a year and i still can't do it??

That is a problem. Are you able to sleep?

[are her roommates okay...]

Huh? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You just sort of... get used to it, I guess? I mean. I didn't have to get used to it, I don't think...

[ she doesn't have a roommate right now. for some reason. ]

[Weird!]

It is a different matter when it is a part of your own essence. I am much the same with fire.
