ein himmelfahrendes und eins, das fällt

[apaintingdarkly]

I'm sure you're all excited about this return to normalcy, if that's what it is, but I still have one question for our new lord and master.

Worlds like this one don't revive on their own, not from the inside. The power has to come from somewhere - usually someone. Someone human, in the real world.

So: Who rejuvenated this one?

What are you?

[apaintingdarkly]

[ He doesn't even try to explain. ]

A monster.

[150th]

Is this what your species is named, or simply a broad term?

[Pokémon are, in theory "pocket monsters." The idea of containment and possession it implies has always rankled.]

[apaintingdarkly]

I don't have a species.

[150th]

Then a monster is what you call yourself, or what you assume you would be considered by others?

[apaintingdarkly]

Both.

[150th]

May I ask why?

SEE WHAT DID I TELL YOU, BLACK HOLE

[apaintingdarkly]

I'm a parasite, disguised as a human. Most people would call that a monster.

w8 when

[150th]

A parasite of what?

Omg did I hallucinate that memory

[apaintingdarkly]

Humans.

idk D:

[...Neat.]

Do you consume them?

Well my mail apps eat tags .-.

[apaintingdarkly]

Something like that.

This is the first time I've had my own body all to myself.

i feel your pain

[150th]

You use them to take on a physical form?

[Super neat.]

T_T

[apaintingdarkly]

And then I get to bask in the fun and fame of being a master thief.

[150th]

Do you prefer to have your own body?

[apaintingdarkly]

Do you prefer to have your own room? Or would you rather share it with your neighbor?

[150th]

I prefer to be alone. Certainly I do not prefer to share with humans.

[apaintingdarkly]

There's your answer.

[150th]

How do humans treat you?

[apaintingdarkly]

They think I'm one of them. I'm a very good parasite.

[150th]

Then none of them have ever known your true nature?

[apaintingdarkly]

My hosts have had some idea, but I don't think even my creator really knew what he had made.

[150th]

Do you prefer this?

[apaintingdarkly]

As opposed to what? Being made into a science experiment?

[150th]

You should not have to be secret to remain unharmed.
